PB2: Production
Research findings on your chosen photographer and style:
“Flowers are willing subjects and lend themselves quite well to being photographed. This much is evident when you look at the numerous photos of flowers posted on social media and photo sharing sites every day. However, not all flower photographs are created equal. As with any type of photography, there are general rules and guidelines, and tips and tricks to make the best images possible. The basic idea is to make our photos stand out from the rest; to create something unique and inspiring; something with that “wow” factor. Hopefully, these tips will provide at least a starting point to getting more creative images of flowers and inspire you to try techniques and ideas that you may not have tried before. If nothing else, at least trying some of these will get us all out shooting more, and that can’t be a bad thing. ”

Some test shooting/experimentation：
Ideas on probable technical procedure for the shoot：
The theme of my PB2 is “Life As Flowers”.
I want to shoot the flowers in the different stage (such as beginning to bloom, blossoming, etc) to present my theme.
I choose the daily light to shoot for the original flower.
I took the photos with Canon 7D and 100-400 lens. The long lens can easily to shoot the details of the flowers. The iso is around 125, f is 5.6, and the shutter speed is 1/500. I use the burst mode to record any details I want.

It is real amazing to see a person who is really love media and good at it, and it encourage me do better in this subject. One of my group member is have a great passion on a TV play. Although i never seen this before, from his words i can feel her passion and love in this play. And it makes me want to see this TV play also. It’s nice to share this happiness through the words. We point out each blog’s good and which part can improve more. I think it’s blog’s charm. And after this activity, i view more other students’ blog. It is really enjoyed.

And it make me have more interests in movie, and I start to know more about movies. Movies have become popular in modern world.They are one of the most important components of entertainment industry. Movies can satisfy most people’s creation need and serve as meanful approach for learning more about the society.For instance,they can introduce other culture by bringing movies into one country.Nowadays,movies play an important role in transmitting culture.The influnce of Hollywood is widespread all over the world. Movies are usually produced by professional company and actors or actresses.Most of movies reflect certain culture or try to introduce certain idea.Thus,they always educate people to better understand both themselves and other people. In general,it is necessary to choose high quality movie to enlarge our horizon. Watching movie is really helpful for me, and write a review makes me understand more about the movies.
