First of all, this article will be divided into three parts to discuss. For instance, the first part is about Research Report. In this study, through a series of data collection, the relationship between time capsule and the relevant things was analysed. The second part is about small project. It will follow some problems, such as what problems were encountered during the process of making small works and how to solve them. The third part is about personal experience and assignment summary.

Research Report
At the beginning of the report, it uses two short paragraphs to explain what Entangled Media is and how it affects people’s life. According to Hilmes (2016), he analyses the development trend of Entangled Media and its significance. At the same time, he also believes that it spreads through many media platforms and it is closely related to everything. In addition, the report also refers family affection and friendship, social media and handwriting, environmental protection and history. To illustrate, in family affection and friendship, it quotes Broomhall’s article, which shows the relationship between European families and also believes that every daily necessity can express a few emotional content (Broomhall, 2008). Moreover, Hardy’s article is my favourite reading material. According to Hardy (2016), she laments the advance of social media that has gradually replaced the traditional art of handwriting. She also says that people should not forget the cultivation of handwriting art in the Internet world. Therefore, these words touch my heart, because it makes me feel good, when using pen, but it does not include drawing. Thus, these quotes are very influential and constantly changing my perspective on something. Certainly, they also enhance my knowledge, make my report become more vivid and interesting, and has the basis of facts.

Small Project
By contrast, this part took longer, because it was also divided into three parts. The first part needed to consider about what kinds of media could be used and how to start the small project. The second part needed to think about if I chose the media form of short film, how to plan the shooting place, the shooting schedule, actor or actress that needed to face and complete them in a relatively short time. Certainly, it was a great experience. During the filming, communication skill was very important between director and actress, because there were some scenes about that actress felt upset and she needed to wander around the lobby and act an unhappy appearance. The expression needed to be in place and also looked natural, so that it costed much time in this part. After the first filming, our crew members thought that the short film was not good enough. There were some logical problems in the script. Afterwards, we talked with each other for a while, and decided to tweak the sequence of the story a little bit, such as in the story, the heroine sees many scenes in her dream. After waking up, the time capsule is her treatment medicine, which makes her mood become better. After modified the script, I started to use Premiere Pro to edit the short film again. In this case, I also paid more attention to adjusting the color grade, because there were some scenes did not look natural in color. Certainly, I thought that the reason for this problem, because it had a lack of brightness during the filming, so that some scenes were a little bit dark in color. As a result, I will use LED light for shooting in the next time and try to make more interesting short film in the future.

Summary
Compared to the previous assignment, I spent more time on modified them, because there were many insufficient. Among them, I did not pay more attention to the issue of copyright, so that there were some pictures downloaded from website in assignment 1. Thus, in assignment 2, the background music was used to make the short film. I have purchased the copyright for it and will be attached to the blog.
Thanks a lot for a short month of growth, the time has passed quickly since I came to this class in first time. Furthermore, I thought that my English speaking is a weak point always and also I had a lack of confidence. Afterwards, I sent email to Sophie for explaining the deficiencies, but I also said that I will try it in tomorrow’s class.
Thanks again for your encouragement in this class.
All of you are very lovely. 🙂
