The youngest of two siblings also said that preparation for the competition took quite a short time, namely one week. In one week, Zulfa must understand and interpret poetry, build expressions, take videos, and then edit them, then submit videos to the committee.
"The process of understanding poetry and building expressions takes the longest. I took the video only a few hours from the deadline for collection. I was very overwhelmed because it coincided with other UKM activities. The video file size is also large so the video rendering process takes a long time. Fortunately, I can collect videos twenty minutes before the collection process closes, ”continued the student born in Bondowoso.
