Regard to the community of practice, and the general concept is ‘groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly’ (Wenger-Trayner 2015).

So undoubtedly, the first and essential community for me is the classmates and like-minded people from RMIT. We have the similar background and may know each other for a long time. Therefore, we could cooperate smoothly and more accessible than the others. The RMIT academic community contains enormous possibilities and support. As a graduate of RMIT, I can get a lot of support and help from the university technically and mentally.

As an international student, it is evident that the Chinese community is an important part that involves various work fields. Chinese people will affect the industry increasingly as the primary group of immigrants in Australia. Furthermore, I could get more information and the cooperation without the language barrier, for example, the film project of Aullywood where is a filmmaking company I worked, got the investment form the Australian Chinese community AHCC.

Sometimes I got some actor jobs, and when I enter this industry, I knew that everyone who works in the industries that inform or entertain could get the support from MEAA. Of course above are some general communities, I will have a more particular community of practice according to the different career I developed.
