Reflecting of my artefact 2 – ‘power’.

My artefact ‘power’, i did it as 15 pictures with cute dogs which were taken by myself, and i want to express the point is that the animals are people’s good friend, so people should love them and protect them. But, as my totur said that, the 15 pictures just about cute dogs, they haven’t relate to the people. So, i need to do more research about them.

Then I chose 3 pics from google ‘Elliot Erwitt’, and make them together with my 6 pics. I used the photoshop to make their color all white and black, because i want to make the video a little solemn..I don’t want just let people who will see this video just think  ‘oh, cute dogs.’  Instead, I want the people can realise the dogs, and good to them from now on, because of they’re people’s friends.

I think the power of the friendship during the dogs and people, is very powerful. Thousands years ago, the dogs started to working for people, help people, stay with people, give people fun.Till now, the dogs also be the people’s good friend.

I also use photoshop to make 3 pics, and wrote something on them, use them as the opening of the video and the ending of the video. And I wrote something on each photo, because i want to use this video to say something.

Then I use Premiere to make them a video, just like you see.

This is my first time to use Premiere, I think it’s not good. But i think this idea about friendship is good in my mind. I want to make it better on this fordder next time when I learn the Premiere better.

Reflecting of my term 1

 

This is my first term study in UK, in Coventry University, I choose the major is Media Production, because of I think it’s very interesting and challenge.

 

I feel a very different place is studying media here. I think the idea is very important here. We need to show our new idea, different idea. I think it’s very different from studying in China.

 

In these 3 months, I had learnt the photoshop and some other softwares. I had learnt to Using the studio camera, and the photography. Actually, I had met a lot of problems. Just like I haven’t used these softwares before, they always make me confusing. And, the language, my English is not good, so, when I try to read some books from the library, or read the website, i always need a lot of time.

 

In This term, I had done three artefacts, power, memory, and spectacle. And I had done some research on the different ideas about Olympic Opening Ceremony, the advertisements, and some Europe films. What pleased me is that I had took some pictures I think is very beautiful and interesting, and when I learnt the photoshop and photoshop them, they looked different.

 

But I also made some mistakes on my artifacts, just like my artefact 2 about ‘power’, I just put 15 pictures about cute dogs on, and I want to express the point is that the animals make the people’s life happy, and everyone should protect the animals. Then tutor told me that they can’t express this point well, so I need to make more research on this fodder. So these days I’m trying to use the Premiere and find some other interesting photos that can relate this point well. And make some interesting things in it, I think it will looks better, I hope.

 

Of course some works had influence me, just like the Sony paint advert..and some good films. I like color, and I think using the color in the film well, that’s very important and interesting. I always use the internet, go to Youtube and watch some interesting films. In some music video, I had learnt that how to make the sound and the photograph be together and be perfect.

 

Actually, my experiment is that if I want to learnt media production well, I should pay more and more time on it, and I should do more and more research on the film. I should know a lot of things, then I can do work better.

 

What I will try is I think I should make more videos. I want to do some videos about some interesting fantasy. So I need to learn the vidicone, and the software well. I’m planing to pay a lot of time this winter holiday to develop my premiere and AE, and researching on the film. While I just know a little about them, but I think I just need more time to do it well. From this winter holiday, I will be better.

 

The big blue

This movie takes the blue as the main key.

Blue, sea and dreams are profound and broad.

Lu gram Benison is a French director who I like very much.

This movie has gathered many elements. The dear ones, love, the friendship, dreams, as well as other are unable with the language performance humanity’s complex mood.

In this movie, Lu gram Benison unifies the color, the scene, the character, the story perfectly ingeniously together.

 

This movie’s lens, fine arts, music is very splendid. The Master of Dubs Eric Sierra used the muse very fitting sea subject.

The sea is broad, beautiful, profound, vital, is similar each corner to have the life. Sea, frightening, also lets the human yearn.

Lead Jack is summoned deeply by the sea. When he was a child, he deeply loves the sea. Although his father got killed in the sea, but Jack could not resist the sea the enticement. Even, he thought that the sea is own final ownership. Jack inborn has the ultra strong diving ability, whenever he dives submarine, he wants to keep in the deep sea, found the feeling which in there him one kind went home.

 

The direction will use the tone to serve as contrast character’s mood, in piece initial childhood fragment, has been the black and white tone, perhaps, Jack will be an escape life child since childhood, will be different with other arrogant children. And, he has lost the mother since childhood, childhood life not joyful color.

 

Afterward, Jack has run into Joanna, he has obtained love. This causes him to be contradictories, in love with own dream, how he should choose. Perhaps love and the dream do not conflict, says regarding many people, different may through diligently and pays obtains. But, Jack love in after death, his dream in front of him, after death ownership finally does not have enemy him born that way to the sea attachment.

 

Finally, Jack gave up own life, gave up love, gave up the child who has not been born. He rigid goes into the sea.

 

At the end of the movie, the director arranges Jack and the porpoise plays in the sea, the audience knew Jack is living or death, whether he will continue to keep the sea, will return to own life. Perhaps this is director leaves our own imagination space.

 

 

Jake calls the woman who loves to him. That woman is widely separated by the great distance, wants him to treat the long-distance electricity microphone to tell the story to her. Jake said that you knew how will meet the mermaid? Must tour the seabed, in there water are more blue. The sky turned the recollection. Lies down in the silence, you decided that keeps there. Will hold the determination which must die, the mermaid will be only then appearing. They send regards you, tests your love. If your love suffices sincerely, suffices chastely, they will accept you. Then forever the region you walk…….

 

He finally left the woman who has loved him deeply and the baby which is not yet born. And he submerged alone to the deep seabed. Why does nobody know? Ending time, the man is suitable is controlling the rope, silent slides, until dark seabed. He alone pauses in the oxygen deficit cold place, bunch of light project in his face. The beautiful porpoise is screaming in a soft voice, stares in his side. He puts out a hand, goes along with it. Is the dark screen. Music resounds, in the piece curtain splits out line of characters, gives to my daughter. He gives the entire lonely sea to his daughter.
