Reminding the whole first semester, I gain many knowledge and useful experience. I still remember that when I just participate in this course, I was very confused about everything around. What I could learn from this course? What job I will do when I graduate from the university? Could this course and the knowledge I learn help me to realize my dream? However, now, I can say definitely that everything I have done will be useful skills and experience for realizing my dream, and I am so satisfied with this course and the knowledge I learned. Now I will recount with some links of my posts.
I remember that in week two, we talked about the Melbourne Moment, and everyone has showed their photos about this topic. At that time, I was not understand well about the intention of this assignment. Nevertheless, I think that is a good way to train us to find out something interesting around us. Because, as a media people, we should be sensitive about every beautiful and interesting things around us. When I was looking the photos that took by my classmates, I found out that every student has different understanding of the Melbourne Moment. To express our diverse understanding of something is what we media people have to do. http://www.mediafactory.org.au/fan-zhang/2016/03/08/workshop-1-media-1/
With regard to my photos, they all are in the above link.
This is the project brief two that is a video of myself. Remembering that moment, I did not know what is premier, how to edit and cut the video I shoot. Also, I did not know there should has a narrative story in the video. So, obviously, I got a low source of this video. Now, I do feel this video is a rubbish, there is no start, the climax and a good ending. Honestly, this is my first video, I forgive myself. If you ask me to judge that what is the most difficult and challenged I met in this project brief, I will say that is conception. How to express the main idea and ideology of the story and director. How to make to story attracting? The questions like these, in my opinion at that moment, is the most difficult part.
This week, I learned how to use voice recorder, the Zoom H2N, and I practiced with Sylvia. This practice was treated as a part of the next project brief so Sylvia and I both want to make it well. According to Professor Louise, we need to find a quiet place to record voice, actually, I did not want to follow her because I wanted to make a feeling that everyone is in the recording environment that is full of vox pop and other voice. Finally, when I was editing the voice, I found out that although I used software, the Audition, to reduce the noise of the voice, the quality was still not good to hear. In this case, I know that for high quality of recorded voice, recording studio is the best choice. If I do not have this studio, the place for record should be quiet, big and less sundries. Because the place that is big but not too big and has less sundries will produce less aftersound.
This posts is initiative, and at that moment, movie called Captain American: the civil war released so my post is about that movie. Because I know my professional knowledge and skill is not well enough to judge how was the filming, I just talked about something behind this movie. Why this movie and its series movies are popular in the world? Audience are the consumer of film, and their choice could reflect some social situation and phenomenon. Moreover, I could confirm that every movie must be based on public, produced for public, and consumed by public. A director, and other media people, to some extent, it is very helpful for them to learn more knowledge about sociology, history, humanity and others. To understand the world, to collect the perspectives from people, to express story and ideology, these missions that our media people need to do. For me, I am interested in the courses and knowledge that I mentioned above, and the hardest thing I think I will meet in the future is that how to be well versed in media and these knowledge.
