As a media student, I’ve thought what function of the media a lot of times. Obviously, media is a very important tool of communication,through which information is passed to even the farthest end of the world. They enable us to communicate with each other by helping us to overcome the barriers of time and apace. Media function in various ways. Below are listed the most commonly seen. First, mass media keep us well informed of the happenings of the world which would otherwise remain unknown.Second, mass media persuade us mostly through advertisements. As we can see, newspapers, magazines, and TV are filled with all kinds of colorful, persuasive advertisements which tempt us to buy their products.Third, mass media give us entertainment. Television and radio broadcasting provide us with a big variety of programmes every day. Films, books, magazines, etc. give us daily amusement. And I think when I finish my media study, I will know more deep functions of media.

Some people like to work alone while others enjoy teamwork. In my opinion, everyone had better learn to work with others together because teamwork is definitely necessary and important in modern society.Collaboration is very important for us.
First, working in a team provides a chance for us to communicate with each other. Just as the saying goes, “many hands make light job.” Working in a team, teammates share their ideas with each other, which is helpful to create a better achievement. Second, working in a team is a way to broaden our horizon. Teammates in a team can learn something from each other because they are from different places, owning various experiences and hold different views towards things. Therefore, getting along with other teammates is also a process of increasing our knowledge. Finally, working in a team is also a way to establish our friendship. Teammates in a team have chances to help each other, to solve the problems together, to share the happiness of being successful, which make a great contribution to establishing friendship. Thus, working in a team is one of the most effective ways to extend our personal relationships.
To sum up, to learn to work in a team is really necessary and important and we should try to enjoy it.

From our group work. I found there are a lot of tips should be paid attention. And it will helpful to me in final projects.
- Don’t try to do too much. Doing a little bit every day is better than burning out.
- Keep a notebook. Write down ideas or challenges you are having in the form of questions.
- Backup a lot. Keep several backups of your footage. If you find you don’t have enough space, you should at least keep a couple of backups of the best clips you are editing in the timeline.
- Create an edit suite. set aside an office space in your house for editing. This means that you can control your work/life balance and not allow this project to ruin your social life.
- Don’t overshoot, but shoot enough. In the past, many reports where edited on tape, where you edit when shooting. Practice doing a short piece. This way, it will teach you to make quick decisions on edits and shoot enough, but not go overboard. In the past, with film, people didn’t have enough money or space to shoot 200 hours of footage, so why should you? Prioritize what you film and it will make editing easy.

Tips For Post Production Of Music Video:
- Transfer your video to a computer.
- Fire up your editor.
- Use your best material. Work through the video from beginning to end, looking at all the takes, and finding the best ones.
- Lay the music track over the footage. With the track loaded in, check to see how your edits and the music sync up.
- Add a title and credits if so desired. It was once standard procedure for the song title, artist name, record label, and video director to appear in the text at the beginning and end of most videos.

Tips For Staffing The Music Video Shooting:
- Find your crew. Depending on the scale of your production, you may be able to rely solely on yourself and your actors, or you may need to create large a crew for the video.
- Find the right acting talent. Make a list of all the characters in your video.
Tips For Lights, Camera And Action:
- Set the stage.
- Set the camera. You may want to shoot part of your video on a tripod, for static scenes.
- Get your actors in place. If they’re in the scene as the camera rolls, have them take their marks. If they come into the scene as it plays, have them at their entrance point.
- Cue up the music. Have Sound locate the proper point in the song, and give it a good lead-in time so people can “get in sync” with the music.
- Have all your lighting people in position, and all powered lights on.
- The videographer presses the record button and starts shooting the scene.
- You know the drill here—on “Action!”, the actors come out and do the scene.
- Repeat for all the scenes in your video. You may end up with multiple takes, multiple angles, great takes, and awful takes. This is where the fun begins.

Tips For Developing The Concept of Music Video:
- Get a sense of your budget.
- Keep a notebook.
- Talk to the artist or band.They may have ideas about how they want their video to look.
- Before making any plans, listen to the song.
- Refine your ideas. Once you have an idea of the song’s emotional core, brainstorm ideas for your video. It can be very useful during this process to consult with members of your technical staff – they’ll know what’s easy to film and what’s not so easy.
- Scout locations.Before you start shooting, you’ll need to know exactly where you want to shoot. Sometimes the video concept can necessitate traveling to a remote location or build a custom set.
- Create a storyboard.
