In my third study, I went back to a complete study of using key functions and words to display several relevant videos and music at the same time. For this particular study, I based it around four different buttons, with the intentions of having those start and stop when the buttons ‘1’ ‘2”3’ or ‘4’ were typed into the keyboard. My main theme in this study was to make people use the different keyboards to see themselves in the different background of different countries, and then for the expected reaction to appear on screen. However, in this study, I most want to give users the feeling that they can go to any place they want to go without leaving home. At the same time they can also listen to beautiful music. During this study, my major challenge was getting working with the program to get the background of the video changed. Although it was finally successful, the clarity of the final video was actually not ideal. I hope that I can find a good solution to this problem in the exploration of future courses. I want to revisit this study later in the semester and make it functional, I believe that with some more experience with MAX I can make it happen perfectly.

Assignment 2-post 1
In my first work, the theme of this work is that colorful. Changing different colors of the background of the video can make users have the different feelings when they watch the image of themselves in the video. The users contribute their own image to the work through the camera function, which is triggered by the ‘open’ key. In the project, users can control the color of the video by using mouse to change color on the palette. Due to this, they can make them look like in any color in the window. For example, they want themselves to look in green, they just need to move the mouse to select green part in the palette, so they can make themselves look in green in the window.
I explored using ‘open’ keys to trigger reactions, in this case turning on the camera. Also,I learned to change the color of the video by using the 2toner to realize it. As I’m still newbie to this and learning everything I explored was new and involved technical issues. I’m aware that a specific learning curve will be the commands in MAX and understand which to use to create my future projects. In the future, I hope to make some better and more interesting projects.
Reflection of the feature
My specific insight from this feature assessment is that I can learn about how to use some interesting context to make audience involved. This is important in this feature assessment because we want to make a good feature to attract audience. This topic of the feature is about luxury shoes abuse. My strategy is to interview a Chinese yeezys reseller, Frank. But during the process of the recording, we met some problems about the language. Frank is not good at speaking English so that he can not express his experience very well. For this problem, we ask tutor for help and finally we got a way to solve this problem. I think this assessment has challenged and strengthened a range of my personal and professional skills as a media worker: how my strategy can appeal to the target audience, how they might interact with the strategy and how I can develop a long-term connection between my strategy and the audience.
reflection of individual interview
Here is my interview with Frank Tang, who is an oversea student.
In this interview, I invited an oversea student to talk about his study experience in Melbourne. Frank is a international student in Deakin Uni. This interview focus on the difficulty and challenge that will be met as a international student in Melbourne.
this interview gives a good insight into what is the biggest problem for international students to face and how can they solve the problem. At the same time, international students can learn some other skills excepting knowledge because of independence.
For the interview question, I think I can make the question much more specific so than the interviewer can tell his more story to the audience. Due to the decision of recording place, there were some noise in the interview. Next time, the more quite place should be in consideration. But overall I think it is an informative and entertaining interview.

This is the first time for me to make a program like this. So I need a lot of help from my group member. For the part of the first record of interview, I think it is a little more natural than the second one. For the second one, we do the more work that like repeating and cycling some words like the first one. It highlighted the importance of not scripting the show. It will be better to script the show and practice more time before the formal record. I think it would be much better if we added more practice afterwards, and our work would be better.
Thank for Egg Hunting
I really enjoy this course. Throughout this course, I got not only an experience about how to making a music video but also achieve good friendships. I enjoyed working with my group members, Sherry,Zoe and Kenneth. We came up with ideas together, shot together, edited together. Also, when we met some problem, we fight them together. I think this course make up grow up, in the aspect of some media ability, even enhance our confidence and make us have an ability of creative. Last but not least, I want to thank for Rohan. He is a really good tutor and always patient to teach us how to do step by step.
Here is our final music video:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1L7HwEfcwIO9kZPEST6EqAq_9ryno7WCE
Blank space
I think this music video’s backgroud is the a little same as our music video. I like this kind of backgroud. It gives audience some feeling of mystery. I am a fan of Taylor Swify and the effects used in her music video is really attracting me. I hope you can enjoy her music video as me.
Set report
I have been recording our music video production in the past several posts throughout the course and it is time for me to make a conclusion about it.
Idea production :
This is my favourite part during the process of making music video. I enjoyed coming up a lot of different ideas for our music video and sharing them with my group members. At the sametime, we were all wiling to communicate with each other about our various of ideas. When we first time listened to this song. Some words jumped into our brain, such as youth, colorful, freedom, exciting and so on. We all agreed with these words.
Since we all considered that these words can represent our song, we decided to make our music video in the style of young, freely, colorfully and exciting. The most important thing of this part aimed at that making the music video match the song and make the song much more attrctive. So after several days’ discussion, we want to make a non-narrotive music video with few narrotive scenes which just occupied only three or two seconds interspersing in it. Some ideas I think is good.
As it shown under:
- making the same people communicate with himself,
2. Some one hold one light and we can change the color of the light so that we can make the scene much more interesting
3. On the Horsier lane, letting the characters sang in their freestyle
4. We want to use some lights to make the shadow have different colors at the sametime
There are only some of our ideas, we also want to make the backgroud a little different from other normal music video.
The final location that we decided is the Hoursier lane, an apartment, RMIT barsketball cournt and so on. We also buy some props to set the backgroud, such as poker, fancy sunglasses, colorful scarves and so on.
The first time for shooting
Our first time of shooting took place is on the Horsier Lane and in the apartment. We arrived on the Housier lane at 6 p.m. and there were still many people so that we tried to find a lane that there are fewer people. On the day, Kenneth and I worked with the camera, Zoe worked for the lighting and Sherry do both shooting and lighting in the turn with Zoe. Although, it is the first time for us to shoot a music video, we still tried our best to deal with them. We finish this scene at about 9 p.m. and we started shooting in the apartment at 10p.m.. In the apartment, we found a interesting way to use the light make the shadow much more colorful.
The second time for shooting
We shot one characters dancing on the RMIT basketball cournt and the other character in a unknown lane to use the colorful light to make him look cool. At the sametime, we shoot some B-roll near the Yarra river for our music video.
Editing
It is almost cost us two weeks for editing. Four of us are all newbies to editing, so we decided to work together. During the process, we meet a lot of problems, but we solve them one by one through watching the tutorial on the Youtube when we editing our music video. I must admit the process is very chanlleged for us but we made it. I really pride of ourselves and love the final music video.
In conclusion, this course makes me learn many things that I did not get in tough with before. I believe that I can be better in the future course. See you Egg hunting haha.
Reflection on the final video
The first thing I want to mention is that our music video is very very good in the group’s members’ mind and we are all really pride of it. Four of our group members are completely newbies for the aspect of making music video, without ability of idea production, shooting, directing, editing and so on. Absolutely, we met a lot ot difficulties during this project and sometimes we really want to give up. But we did not and we believe ourselves that we can do it together so that we can finish it perfectly haha. What’s more, we all consider that we shoud do this video carefully. Because it is not only we can achieve the good grade but also this is a respect for the three characters’s work. They also devoted a lot to music video and I want to thank to them for their devotion for this project.
The final version of our music video has some differences from that we planned in the pich that we showed in class before. At first, we want to make our music video a little narrotive consisting two storylines: one timeline is a girl want to find the bond and the other is the bond sing the song under the Fliders station bridge opening, on the Horsier lane, in the apartment and so on. That is all our imagination and we want to match the lyris and song words without giving a understanding for the audience. However, when we started editing, we found that things we shot can not meet our requirements for the ideas we came up with befroe. We tried to make them together and combinate the two storylines together. In fact, we think the colors and quality of different scenes is a big problems for us. So we changed the idea of the music video. We give up the shoots under the Flinders bridge opening because its bad quality. But it is lucky that the quality of the other scenes is good and we can still use them in our music video. I think we should consider more possible situation that will happen during the project before we start shooting in the later time so that we can avoid a lot of problems during the process of editing. Choosing this style of song makes our making music video a little difficult because it is hard for us to make the video compeletely narrotive. There are atill some problems in our final music video, we need to use some effect to cover something and someone else in the blackground in the scenes. And some scenes our camera did not focus our three characters but we use some effects to save this situation. However, I love the music video that we made together haha. I really enjoy working with our group members. All of them are careful with this music video and devoted a lot to this music video. Hopelly, we can make the music video better in the future.
