How each media material helps represent and communicate myself:

The photos:
1. The snow globe photograph shows my love for snow globes, winter, travel and architecture.
2. The photo of the DVDs, at first glance, the bright, eccentric colours is what pops out the most, showing how I like my life to be colourful, exciting and standing out from the crowd. This photo also represents my obsession with DVD collection, television and pop culture.
3. The photographs in the third image shows my grandparents and their children (my mum, aunts and uncles) in 1982 when they were still in Vietnam, and the photograph below it is of my one-year-old self and my cousins. This shows my Vietnamese culture and gives people the idea of how important family is to me.
4. The final photo is of an old vinyl. This represents the obvious, my liking of the band ‘Cheap Trick’, but also symbolises my love for music and traditional ways of enjoying it.

The videos:
1. The first video uploaded communicates the idea that I am a relaxed person. The people laying on the grass, the sun and the music all produce a calm but fun atmosphere. (Although, ironically, right at this point of recording, I had a huge cramp in my leg and could not move)

The audio recordings:
1. The sound recording of my baby cousin laughing and my mum, grandma and aunty talking to him communicates a tight-knit, fun family in which I am a part of
2. The second recording is of a microwave and then of news on the TV. This communicates the idea that like every other human being, I sometimes heat up my food… but also that I enjoy keeping up to date with current affairs and what’s happening around the world. Watching the news is a daily routine. (One of the reasons why I am doing media)
