In this course, basically I like documentary and I want to learn how to make a good documentary as well. Last semester, our group in media2 studio did a project that we made a documentary. We tells a story about a Chinese old man who works on Queen Victoria Market and he sells vegetable with his daughter. Then I thought it was so great to tell somebody’s story by using the documentary. Also, I watched some documentaries in China before, like the bite of China. It was so popular in China when it broadcasted. So I’m interested in the documentary and I want to learn what is the documentary, how to make a good documentary, how can I come up with more different ideas.

I know that the documentary is reality and tell the true story and I guess it can also record our life and give us a good memory. Learning how to make a documentary then I can make my own documentary to record my life, this is what I really want. For example, I can use my skills to make a very good wedding documentary for my sister. On the other hand, learning documentary could better understand the society or let the public know this society better. I also want to tell the life of the bottom people of Chinese society.

Then, in this course, I also want to learn the skills of making documentary, like filming and editing. Before I did some filming and editing work but I think it isn’t enough and I need to learn more. Thus, this is what I want to learn about documentary.
