Last Lecture of This Semester!!

First of all, I’m so proud of myself that I choose to learn media and finish this semester. In the first workshop class, I never used any Adobe application to edit video or audio, and was afraid to learn because it seemed so complicated and professional.

The most important technical achievement is that I watched lots of instruction videos on Adobe website and YouTuBe and I finally completed all of these projects by myself. I didn’t get a good grade for PB2, then I watched it again and again when I got the feedback. It was true that the video was a little bit meaningless, and the two parts were very separated. To get a higher mark, I thought of several different interviewer to record the PB3. Finally, I thought ‘debating’ is an interesting topic and I got a friend that make the shooting much more easily. This was the project that I developed my technical skill most. I devoted plenty of time to make the photo changing opening, adjust the hue of the video and choose the background music. I was really happy when I saw the result that I made an amazing progress.

The moment that I improved my creativity was in doing the last audio project. Our first plan could’t work because we didn’t get the email reply from the related organisation to do the interview. My group members and me were so frustrated at that time as the graph shows, then we decided to change the script. That was the creative moment we got the idea to do ‘One day of Max after adoption’. We wanted to do an audio story from a dog’s perspective.

I got the great sense of achievement by learning media this semester. It was so happy when I finish editing and I watched or listened to it again and again. Hope I can do better next term.
