This course surpasses my expectation of taking all the essential stages of media production into account, under the guidance of an experienced professional in the Media Industry.

When I wrote down my initial reflection post, I was uncertain what a standard shot list and script should look like. However, this studio gives me precious chances to learn from mistakes and rebound through many failed attempts. In fact, it turns out to be the most valuable lesson of this studio, ever more important than any technical skill.

I look back at my workflow and examine it carefully to see what is wrong from the start. I spend time reviewing movie scripts, and learning how they stage the actions, dialogues, and events in chronological order. Followings that, I actually learn from my senior friends and take constructive feedback from them. There is no better derivation of knowledge than immersing in competitive work experience.

Before jumping straight into shooting, I spent numerous days visualizing what I would do for this project after the serial errors I experienced in the past. I came up with different scripts for each series, especially the narrative brief, which I think I might have discarded more than two scripts before the final one. My conclusion from all the failures is that whenever I write any script, I need to consider several factors: Is that possible in the limit of resources and time? Is that idea good enough to screen it?

I feel blessed that I get the opportunity to do meaningful projects that are relevant to the Media Industry. From the genre edits to the final series edits, I am proud that I have definite control over the mindset of how I will direct my projects.
