Actually, I even did not know the course topic until the first class, because of taking the 2.5yrs degree, therefore, MEDIA 2 in summer semester is compulsory for me. After knowing that we are going to study music video in summer semester, I feel quite interested. Wikipedia said a music video is a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes. As I think, music video is a feeling from the song that singer wants to tell us.

I used to watch music video from YouTube and another Chinese website called ‘Yinyue Tai’. In China, singers usually pick their popular songs to make the music video. To be honest, I cannot find good creative music video very often and I feel bored to watch all the narrative plots. However, I did find some good music video from China, like the ‘Better Me’ from singer Kaiqi Xue and the ‘Gushi’ from band Sudalv. Maybe I will tell more information about these two music video in the blog post.

In the course Making Media, I have not study any editing skills which makes me feel unhappy, especially teacher asked you to do the video project without telling you how to shoot and edit. I hope this could be better in Media 2, I really want the skill about shooting and editing.
