Digital Preservation of Cultural Heritage: Interactive Documentary of Malay Male Traditional Clothes
Abstract
This project aims to create a digital archive of Malay Male Traditional Clothes in order to preserve a piece of Malay Heritage Culture. The Malay Male Traditional Clothes, popularly known as "Baju Melayu," is a long-standing Malay cultural habit. Men wear Baju Melayu on significant occasions like Friday prayers and formal parties. Many components of the Malay cultural inheritance, however, are increasingly losing their relevance in society as a result of current global pressures. Much of Malay traditional history has been neglected as a result of the Malays' lack of understanding and appreciation. As a result of the introduction of technology and education, the Malays have absorbed many western influences. The problem was that there was no good documentation for Malay Male Traditional Clothes in the archive that could be used as a guide for the younger generation or society. This project will investigate an interactive documentation platform for preserving Malay traditional cultural heritage for men's clothing as part of a strategy to study Malaysia's Malay heritage culture, as well as create a proper film documentary of Malay traditional cultural heritage for men's clothing and evaluate the video documentary's efficacy as a medium for delivering the preservation message. The video production method, which includes pre-production, production, and pre-production, will be employed for this project. This effort will be tried on a group of 20 people, including Malaysians and young people. This initiative is intended to serve as a springboard for Malay cultural heritage preservation initiatives that would serve as a model for future generations in Malaysia.
