about film ideas

        Anthony Chen and I are preparing to make a film about “secret”. We try to shoot the hunter college views first (use wide shot and long shot) and let audiences know the background of this film. Then we enter in the classroom and introduce a secret (in an envelope). Our classmates will open the envelope and we will shoot their reactions after they read the “secret” (use medium close-ups, medium shot). In the end of the film, we will show the secret in the envelope (use extreme close-up). And we will find some interesting music to be the background music of this film.

Feedback to feministfrequency.com

        After I heard Anita's presentation on feministfrequency.com yesterday, I felt that I learned a lot of things from her presentation. First, I realized more about feministfrequency.com. Second, I realized the process that how she making the video. The most interesting part for me is the video preparing process. You need to prepare a lot of things before you shoot a video, such as choose a topic and buy the props.

        I think it is very interesting and created. And there was one thing surprised me. It was Anita said she didn’t have some professional knowledge about the video shooting and didn’t really know how to edit the video. And I don’t have any professional knowledge about the video shooting and editing either, so it really encouraged me. She also mentioned fair use in the video shooting. Fair use is very important in the video shooting or any other media works. I agree with her thoughts and ideas.

        I learned much knowledge about video shooting from her experiences, such as how to choose a good topic, and how to make a good light of shooting. And I will add some created and interesting elements in my media projects. Video shooting is very interesting and challenged for me.
