Week 7 Exercise
In this week’s studio, my crew and I explored different types of shots and lighting. Basically we just carried the camera and the tripod and walked around in NAS, taking turns to film and act. Our ideas on the film just started to come together, so we talked a lot about how we wanted our film to look like…
Week 11 Reading
In this week’s reading, Tim Wu explains what attention merchants are. Attention merchants are quite relatively new. As an industry, they trade people’s attention to business and advertisement people to make revenue out of it. Take google as an example, they would document what websites you go to and what interests you have so they would promote those relevant business…
Week 11 Workshop

However, I took photography in high school and have still got some knowledge. So one day I just decided that maybe it’s time for me to actually get into photography. I just got my…

RadioLab Time (season I, episode I) – ‘program intro’ As a piece progresses you get a sense of where things fall. In other words, audio hints the audience of what is coming. It implies if the…
Week 9 Reading
This week’s reading is ‘Does Literacy Media Backfires?‘ by danah boyd. Boyd mentioned that people are now trained to believe that the information on Google is legitimate but not that on Wikipedia and I do relate to this statement a lot. I do find myself searching on Google whenever I’ve got some questions. Theoretically, if you’re not feeling well and search…
Week 12 Workshop
In this week’s workshop, we had guests to check out our rough cuts of PB4 and give us feedbacks. Earlier this week we decided on our topic and that is Nudity and Objectification of Women in the Media. And we wanted to pose the argument ‘is female nudity for sexual attention or artistic purposes?’. Fortunately, we got to interview a…
