Assignment 4-Reflection 4 ( reflecting on your semester )

In my goals, I want to know more and more the styling of the making media, to cooperate with studio member, to find the source of inspiration, to become a producer and creative the media work. I meet all of them in the activity of class or the assignment of studio.

From those work, I learned more professional message about media. For example, what is non-fiction project, what is the Martin Parry’s style, how Molly Dinner produce the documentary and son on. It makes me notice that Learning and understanding different media production styles is a very important part of the media. Thus, if I want to produce a good media work, I need to understand these message first. This is the first challenges for me.

In other way, the biggest challenges are project producing. In the media work, the most difficult one is to decide the theme of your work. There are not topic or subject you can chose from the requirement of assignment. So, I need to ponder and decide by myself. Then, I found the way to overcome this challenge is to observe. I need to pay more attention in the detail of my daily life or tiny things around me and society. I also need to observe this society from the perspective of a third party. Although I may not be doing very well right now, this observation is really help me. In this way, I can find my topic easily than before. And with my observation more sensitive and detailed, I think my project will be more deeply and professional.

The last one is the skill of editing. I think the editing is an important part of the media work. I have never edited a photo in my media course. So, I did not know how to make photo as I want it by the editing in the beginning. This is biggest challenges for me. But I think the editing skills are not improve quickly even though I learn some technical skills for the class. With I can create more media work and better understand and make it, my editing skills will improve and will more mature.
