For the first week of this studio, we talked about ourselves and some general introduction about this studio. For the past semester, I have learnt a lot about film making and photograph taking, for example, documentary production, audio production, photography and other disciplines. I have always been very interested in visual art. I want to record my own life in video and share it with everyone, so I want to delve into more expressions about scenes, stories, and characters. I’m fascinated by capturing scenes and moment, that’s why I chose this studio. 

I am not yet proficient in the lens language of film and television works. Sometimes some shots can confuse people and misunderstand the director’s intentions. In this semester, I’d wish to learn more about cinema scene, learn more camera setting and apply those skills on my own video works. Mastering film craft is an art, there’s still long way to go for me.  

In this week’s class, we discussed about what does director do in making a movie, it is quite interesting for me, Because I never seriously thought about the specific work the director did in directing a movie before. I realize that the director needs to analyze the script to find a suitable way of expression, need to guide the position, angle and light of the camera, and the director needs to screen actors and so on. The director is like the highest commander of the military. The quality of a film and television work is largely determined by the director’s quality and accomplishment; the style of a film and television work often reflects the director’s artistic style and character, and can better reflect the director’s artistic style and personality. The director’s values ​​about things. And we analyzed the camera sitting and coverage of some film fragments,  although i have learned relevant knowledge before, it has deepened my impression once again.
