participation_Thursday
Today is Thursday, but at the beginning I want to mention that next week is the Easter Holiday, and we will have a week to enjoy the holiday and the coming assessments.
Since last Thursday, our project noticing 2 had done. We started to read chapter three of Bogost’ book. Unfortunately, I was busy with other assessments from other courses, I didn’t have enough time to finish the chapter three. I think that this situation not only happened to me, but lots of students in the studio.
That was the reason the atmosphere in Tuesday class was so that quite and you know. Professor Miles almost spent the whole class to talk alone, less students responded to him.
I have to say that that was a bad participation in the Tuesday class.
Wk4 studio1, what I learn today
What I learn today?
Today’s class is really helpful, Professor talked lots of information and knowledge about the understanding of Ian Bogost’s book and ideology. I arrived late, so missed the first 30 mins. I will talk about the knowledge and information that leaved me a deep impression.
- Start thinking: what do they do?
For example: what can sound recorder/camera/editor do to make a film? What machine can do? I agree that in lots of essay we need to discuss that what’s the meaning of something. In this case, the essay and the content will be sublime to some extent. But we need to think back that what do they do, which helps us to do practice, not the ideology discussion. What writing do? What editing can do？ Writing is telling a story, then editor is work about relationship in time, based on color and others things. Like me, what I can do in our soundtrack project? The subject of our project is a room, then we chose kitchen. Then, what the staff in the kitchen can do, what sound they can make? To think about these questions can really help us to rich our soundtrack.
Two questions of studio in wk 3
What qualities did you notice that matters?
I will say this in two parts, one is about the judgement comment paper, the other one is watching the videos. To be honest, I am not that good at this kind of comment, although I do think there are something need to be improved and changed. But I think that maybe this is the personality they have. Anyway, when we are responsible for the comment paper, we need to be serious to the paper, because they are looking forward this. The second part is about when we are watching videos, keeping quite and no judgement during the watching process. I think we all done very well.
What feedback would you give your own work?
Of course, the thing that disappointed me most is the soundtrack. I can’t hear it clearly either most of my classmates. Because of the low voice, most of them can’t give a current comment. Except this, the next one is about the copyright. I have to say that all the images and videos I used are from the website CC Search. Next time if I gonna use the images, videos or music from this website I will add the resources of those at the end of the video.
Wk3 Studio 1
Since we started the class, we enjoyed everyone’s video. We have a paper to judge everyone’s video, writing down our comment to help each other to improve.
About my video, I have no idea what is going on with the audio, the soundtrack. When I edited the video in edited room, even with my laptop, the voice is loud enough to hear clearly. Sad, the sound is really low, and many of my classmates did write down on the paper.
I picked two of them. Really appreciate for everyone’s useful and worthy comments.

In this class, we still emphasize the relations. Whatever relations that are linked us to the objects. Compared to last week, this time we concern on: How does it happen? What does it happen? Then we drew another picture about relations.
This is what I chose, the ballpoint pen. Before I started it, I was confused about where I should go further. To dig the relations between me and the ballpoint pen or the relations between ballpoint pen and the supermarket where I bought the pen from. Anyway, any relations is fine as Professor Miles said. So I chose to talk the relations on the ballpoint pen. I wrote down the manufacturing process of the ballpoint pen but it is too narrow. I should better to wrote down where is the ink comes from, where is the plastic body comes from, moreover I could say the technology that how this pen was invented.
Movie the Kuleshov effect was showed in class. Before this class I actually never hear about it. It was interesting!! Only some pictures combine together, cause people have different feeling. Like me, when I see the soup, my feeling is flat and I was waiting for what going on. Then a someone’s face came out which make me confused, what’s the relations? After this picture, the next one is a girl lye in the coffin, then back to the face just showed. The strongest feeling I get is wired, horrible and sad. I found out that I will subconsciously think what story or case this short video what to express. I think this is where my emotions came out.
