Personal statement
For the group proposal, I am the video speaker and also finished the production plan. The whole process is new to me, because while doing the Master of Advertising, I haven’t seen how media students handling with videos and website design before. Production plan is a part of our advertising strategy as well, so that I chose to finish it in order to practice more. It is a good chance for me to learn how different tasks are finalised by using media related skills.
While the process, I found it is unfamiliar for me to create a media plan, especially about design and video filming. I was worried about how to be a part of the design group at the first. Based on what I learned from advertising course, it is not very close to visual design. In addition, my groupmates tell me how to create a personal website and several theories of design. If I have the experience of making visual designs, it will be better for our group to have more people to contribute the website design. I am now started to learn Photoshop and AI to get familiar with design area, trying to share the tasks with my groupmates together. The learning process helps getting more closer to be a creative director.
During the process of video filming and pre-production, I learned a lot from them. As one of the video speakers, I feel I did not do it perfectly. I was nervous while filming and my groupmates helped me to get through of it, which I am really appreciated it.
I am enjoy doing this proposal, though I feel I did not do it perfectly. The timeline is important for us to remind every step of our project and the deadline push us forward. We discussed about everything we need to do and come up with our work list. It is helpful to make things organised. While making the timeline, I asked my group about details and made some changes as well. We communicated on Messenger which is even more convenient.
I finished a project last year. The whole project improved all the relative abilities. Compared to that, the theme of this project is unfamiliar and there are things I need to pay attention to, or to do some researches. For example, how to create a website and edit the video. It is new but hard to learning from the beginning. Still. I will be trying my best to lean as well.
Knowing how this works my not explain every detail but gives people opportunity to discover why it works (Candy, 2006). Through the learning process, I found the suitable way for me to discover knowledge and self-learning method. Advertising industry requires people to have a better and wider knowledge range. It is useful and helpful to have more relative skills. In this case, knowing how to edit or film videos and create web page will be learning at the same time. It also gives pressure. Difference is a good thing and should be cared and as an unknowledge to learn about it. I will continue my study in advertising industry with my different insights.
