Week9  reflection for presentation  

In this week. We had a in- class presentation to talk about what we going to do for the research project, we introduce our inspiration, thought and final plan for the assignment. It was really exciting to hear everyone’s idea, and we all got the positive feedback and suggestions from teacher and the leader of the department. When the tutor explain this assignment to us,  the first thing that came to my mind was the famous Chinese director Wang karwai. . I first encountered Wong Kar-wai’s movie Chongking express when I was in junior high school. The unique composition, psychedelic soundtrack and editing techniques reshaped the old Hong Kong in my mind, it put a thick layer of filters belonging to Wong Kar Wai for the Hong Kong of the last century in my mind. Wong Kar Wai is indeed a genius director. His films from romance to matial art movies show the age and characters in his heart vividly and exquisitely. The interesting thing is that Chongking express, which left a deep impression on me, took only one month to complete the filming, but it is undeniable that he and his team did create a unique style that belongs to Wong Kar-wai. Since then, Wong Kar-wai has been in occupy a place in the field of international film. Yujie have a similar research topic as mine which really suprise me, it illustrates the huge influence that Wong karwai brings to our generation in China, however, we did have different perspectives for Wang karwai. The other people have mutiple manifestations which also inspired me. For Esther’s project, she’ planning to do the research about how double personality is expressed in movie, she took Black swan and A beautiful mind as cases to study. In addition, Jenna would like to talk about The God Father and A better tomorrow, she will shoot a clip based on the parallel action in The godfather. For Michael’ plan, he’s going to do the research about the backstage of the film Inception by Christopher Nolan, science fiction film like Inception uses a lot of CG techniques, Michael will compare it with the real shooting. I’m excited to hear so much ideas from my classmates, everyone’s doing topic what they are really into in, research things you love is always rewarding.
