The Idea of the Final Project

It’s snowing these days, and a little cold. Yesterday I was traveling in Bath, which is a very beautiful and famous city in England. I had been to The Circus, The Royal Crescent, and the Abbey Church. The buildings are antiquities, which were built long time ago, within a feeling is very grandeur and heavenliness. The buildings in Bath almost are all in the color of yellowy, just like the color of the honey. The streets in Bath are not very big, and with a lot of interesting shops on both sides. Some shops which are selling the England artworks were very attractive to me.

Bath is not only a beautiful city, but also a busy city. It’s not mean the people’s work is busy, just mean to the city, the life of people is very interesting and colorful. The squares are always some buskers there, giving the people performance, getting happy and money. I found the people in Bath are very friendly and relax in daily life. When I talking to them, just like when I ask them the way to somewhere, they will be very friendly and responsible.  

 

 

I also visited the famous place of Bath, just like the Roman Bath. I felt the spring and the sunshine there with the other people. I even think I had backed to the time which one thousand years ago. Many people will try the spring from Roman Bath there, that’s free. And many people will throw coins into the pool which could make a wish there. That’s very interesting. I find that in UK, almost every pool or fountain in the street or in the building is a wishing well. I think it means all the people have their wishes and hope.

 

 

 

At night I was staying in a hotel which is a little far away from the city centre. It was a house with a big garden which was built long time ago. The chimney place and even the aisle in the sitting room, were all so lovely, and filled with the England style. There were some cars parking outside of the house, I think they were the house keeper’s adornment, because of these cars were looked very old-style. I took some pictures inside and outside of the hotel when I got the permission from the house keeper. The house keeper told me that, the people who have busy work always spend their weekends here, because this hotel is far away the city centre, and the landscape is very beautiful, quite and cozy.

 

 

 

Today, when I wake up in the morning, I found that it’s white outside. There are eight years in England has no such a big snow. I thought about the idea of the final project. I want to do a video about the people’s leisure life. Because of the people living in different country, even different city will have different form of life. And the leisure is a very interesting part of people’s life. My hometown China has a lot of interesting things to show, and the same in UK. I study in UK, I have view some part of UK, so I think make them together maybe will be very interesting and mean to me.

 

 

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.

 

Idea of 2008 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony

This the best part of the 2008 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony in my opinion. When i first saw this, i was consumingly convulsed. The idea was sooooo cool. This part was showing the stationery and the landscape in China from ancientry. It use a huge picture as the stage, and showed the crockery, bronze, and the other age-old’s things in China thousands years ago.

Then the dancer walked in to the picture, use their body as the brush, dancing and drawing. on the other stage there was a executant playing the Gu zheng, a kind of chinese musical instrument. The chinese music with the picture and the dance make up the final picture, a contracted landscape. So great.

Idea of advertisement

This is a advertisement of Honda car, I think it is so perfect for it’s idea, although it takes 2 minutes, but i will pay attention to watch it. In my research, this AD has no stunt in it, every shot is ture. The producer took hundreds times of examinations, then the AD came out.

It uses the accessorys of a car to show the car’s capability, after the 2 minutes, the Honda was showing on the TV, bring forward the theme.
