Introduction
Psychology is the scientific studyof how people act, think, and feel. Social
psychology studies how people act, think, and feel in the context of society. That
is, how people's behaviours, thoughts, and feelings change because of other
people.
The final assignment of Social Psychology consists of 3 different
components. First, we are required to create a 3-5 minutes video clip. The video
clip must be in a single script incorporating of 3 concepts that we have learnt
throughout the semester in class. We are also required to write a 1500 words
report based on the short video and present our video during class.
The purpose of this assignment is to allow the students to recognize and
identify the relation among the concepts and perspectives within psychology and
with others disciplines. Other than that, students will learn how to apply those
concepts taught in real life. This would help the students to have a better
understanding of the concept hence strengthen their knowledge of social
psychology. This would
We are divided by Mr Shankar in a group with 4 members, which consists
of Alfred Loh, Carol Tang, Chee Yuan, and Li Ying. After a shortdiscussion, we
have decided to create a short named “A Change in Life”. This concepts that we
used for this video are prejudice, observation learning, self-handicapping, first
impression, persuasion and motivation.

Procedure
At the first meeting, Carol was suggested an idea for our video clip, we
agreed with her idea and also given some suggestion to improve the story. The
story is about a girl who used to have an unhealthy lifestyle but after the
persuasion and motivated by her friend, she started to change her lifestyle.
After we had finish the story for our video clip. We discussed and figure
out about the theories and concept that might can be included in the story. We
decided to film the whole video within Taylors’ University Lakeside Campus
since it is convenience to all of members.
On the filming day, Carol gave a short brief about her story again and the
roles that each of us will play, then only we start to film. We been tried to take
some scene inside the Uni-Gym in Campus, but the staff said there is no filming
allow in the gym. So, we were adjusted the storyafter that. We used about7 hours
in two days to finish the filming.
After finish the filming, Alfred was responsible to edit the video and adding
in subtitles. While other members were divided to do presentation slides and
report to ensure that assignment can be done as soon as possible before the
submission date.

Conclusion
As we all know that Social Psychology has no boundaries where the
ultimate fun that we had during this project is when we were trying the best
effort of us exploring the field of Social Psychology in order to complete this
project. Upon the completion of this project, it allows us to have a better
understanding of the social psychology concepts. Besides, we manage to
recognize and identify the concepts and perspectives within psychology and
other disciplines. In the end of this project, we are capable to emerge some of
those concepts into our real life situation.
On the other hand, we learnt on how to do shooting and acting skills
through this final assignment. Even though all of us felt awkward at first as
most of us have never tried that in front of the camera especially when we all
are not good in public speaking and public shooting. However, we did try our
best to overcome all the hardship and finally we manage to finish our video on
time. Besides, we also learnt on how to present our video clip in a creative
manner.
Last, but not the least, we have gained more knowledge about the
concepts ofsocial phycology. Apart from the knowledge gained, we found it
interesting during the shooting and editing sessions that we have mentioned
above. All in all, this is a good experience for us and we would like to credit
this to the most bizarre social phycology. We believe that we will spent extra
times on this field in the future even if this is not our main field.
