At the beginning I wasn’t really sure what were we going to do for this group project. We had a lot of different scene and a lot of different groups focus on different stuff. Everyone has their own opinion about what we should do. At the end, it came up two different themes, one of it is food and the other one is “the reality show”, which is the group I was in. We decided to make a video about “the reality show”, the story is basically about David who is a high school student and have a lot of things going on with all the different girls. While filming the video, I noticed that videotaping could be a really good way of keeping something documented and real. After filming we take it to the process of editing. The purpose of editing is making the video look nicer also get to the point of what we trying to say from the video. However, I think editing is making the whole video so unreal. We cut out the part we don’t like and we add something in, when we think is necessary in order to make it more interesting. From the whole process of producing the video, I realize nothing is real or unreal about the media. Today’s media is about what we want to see and what we want to say. We make the video base one the reality show and what we think is interesting. Or using Photoshop to make the picture how we wanted. All the technology is making everything really easy compare to years ago that we need so many equipment to make a film. Because of the technology is so easy and so convince, therefore, it require less people to work on the same thing. We have too many people in the same group and focus on the same thing, it become so unnecessary. But even though, it end up everyone has something to do and make everything really easy and be done really quickly. I love the part that everyone has their own opinion about the film but at the end everything fits perfectly. I think the reason why it ended up perfectly it is because what media show us and make us feel. For example, on the TV show, a cheating scene makes audience feels intense even though it happens in every drama show. Media make some common thought between people and make us think toward the same way from the massage which is spreading from the media. During these two weeks we use “face book” to become our communication place. People post some interesting video on it and some important information. Facebook is a really good place to spread some media information but it has no privacy. This kind of social network helps the media to spread fast to everyone. There are definite some good thing about the social network. For example, if you are trying do some community service and you need some volunteer, you would probably choose to post some ad on facebook instead of set up a table at a same spot everyday and wait for someone to come to you. Social network is so much faster than any other kind of communication between people. However, that it is so fast that you cannot stop it. When you post something on it, right at that moment there will be someone talking about it already. Especially on facebook, no one really understands the privacy rules on it but we only know it is connivance and fun. Technology helps people to make everything easy but also making other problems that makes people concern, just like everything we used to make a video which made everything easy for us but facebook makes us concern about our privacy and what will spread to other people.however, everything was done pretty fast due to the new technology and the facebook. we couldnt finish this project without any of these.
