Reflection
Through this assignment, I have learnt that movies of different genres have their similarities and differences. We just need to take time to do some research to really know them. Moreover, movies of different genres show creativity. If movies were only a genre, nobody would want to watch them as they would be predictable and thus, bore us out. What is the purpose of us watching movies then? Movies must give us a sense of expectation. After this assignment, it made me realise that genres are very important in our lives.

Group Project
For this project, we were seperated into groups of seven students to do a comparative analysis of two businesses with similar industry in different geographical locations, one of which is within Klang Valley while another one is outside Klang Valley. We were required to have an interview with the owner of two businesses of our choice from the same industry. Then, we were asked to do a report based on the comparative analysis. First and foremost, we had to made an appointment with the owners of the business, find out when they were available for the interview.

Reflection
Through this assignment, we were able to meet and interview two business and learnt how they become successful in their industry. This was really interesting as we get to experience the lives of a hairstylist in the short, 20-minutes interview. It was exciting, the way they talk about their salon. They have opened my eyes to a whole new profession. Also, it was all group effort in this assignment. We all get to experience team work whether if it was good or bad. Although our group had our ups and downs, we had great communication most of the time. At the end, we found that we had done the task efficiently. Besides, by doing our own report on the comparative analysis between the these two businesses, I find that we really understand more about the business. Comparing both businesses, we can see which business is more successful than the other. Moreover, after knowing their limitations, we get to know what is it to recommend about the business to make it better.
