Making a video is making a story, which displays others what your heart wanna say......
Today's class was fantastic, from watching video to learning camera, everything seemed to be pretty fresh and funny to me. The most shocking and touching short film-Butterfly Man brought me overwhelming thinkings about a people's life as well as our own video product.
The synopsis i wrote for this movie was...
The story of a man and butterflies, who find his life blossoming from dancing like a butterfly...
Actually, this sentence is quite simple but meaningful to me. Coz it's my first time to see an aged gentleman so much addicted to butterfly. Also, it's my first time to see an aged gentleman dancing like a butterfly...when he dances, i can feel his passion, his young and his lover over butterflies...Butterfly, is his second life.
In addtion to the unique storyline, the beautiful camera work did impress most of my classmates. Different from many videos we've ever seen, this director used lots of distorted angles, lights and frameworks that bring us mystery and attractions.
When the director shot the university museum, objects in the screen were arranged as a triangle which reinforcing the antique atmosphere of this movie. It was a bit strange, but creative, i think.
When butterfly samples were shot close-up, the special blue light shocked me as it was so beautiful and incredible.
The video is not for the butterfly man, it is also for the butterflies. They are both shining in this film.

Project Making I
'The end of one life maybe a start for another life'
This is the opening question we came over in our first discussion
Can our life be continued after death???
Yeah! Sure.
Organ Donation-keeps our life going on
Organ Donation is a non-profit campaign assigned by our group (Ardi, Faye, Jin and me) made for Australians Donates (http://www.organdonation.org.au/).
We figure out organ donation is a popluar and controversial issue in Australia. Most people hold resistance for donation under encouragement of the government. Y-generation pretends to be less concerned about social issue because of easy life.
Therefore the campaign aims to change people's rejected or careless attitudes towards organ donation, especially targeting Y-generation aged 18 to 28.
An essential element within our project is a TV commercial -wut we are supposed to do in Toulas' class.
The very first thing we need go thru is knowing our target audience in detail.
We open our questionnaire this week as a basic step of understanding the organ donation's situation in Sydney, Australia.
Specifically, this questionnaire is set up to see who care least and most about organ donation in society among 4 age groups:18 to 28; 29 to 45; 46 to 60; 61 or above by asking 5 questions about organ donation.
Our group spent two days in conducting the first questionnaire aimed at the four different aged groups. Jin and I were allocated to do survey on 46 to 60 and 61 or above 2 groups. We started at market city then transferred to George street.
During the survey procedure, we were really impressed by several respondents' unique answers. Luckily, information about where to register as a organ donor was also gained from them.
Among them, there was a lady from Perth who had already registered as an organ donor. According to her, most of Australians know about organ donation and are willing to register as donors. However, few of them finally agree to donate their organs when needed. Why? She said maybe they were scared or worried about losing a part of body, and they wanted to have a complete body after died. Whatever, she highly suggested organ donation as it was a social benefit for others as well as the whole country. Everybody should do it!
In addition, we met a 83 years old lady at Town Hall whose whole family had signed the organ donation paper from grandma to grand daughter. We felt surprised but more touched by her saying that organ donation was significantly important to every society. It was more than helping yourselves, it saved lives.
On the contrary, a young lady who as well took our memory not because of her agreement but for her carelessness about organ donation. She directly answered ‘no’ when we were doing survey about her mother whether she would like to donate organs if she could. It was shocked us that she didn’t even think about there were thousands of patients waiting organs to survive. What a pity.

To Lulubear
Dear Lulubear
Say goodbye to your mom and dad is not easy
I know
You love them so much
I know
You're experiencing the pain, grief and despair.
But please be strong
Please try to smile
I know it's hard
Look at your mom and dad
They are smiling at you in the heaven
They are happy
They don't want you to cry, to be sad, to droop.
They want you to be strong, be optimistic, to live on well.
If you were unhappy
How do you think they would feel?
Can they live well in another world?
No they cannot
So please
my dear lulubear
Trust yourself
You can get through this time
the leaving of your parents may be their extrication
You don't want them to be trapped here and worry about you, don't you?
Let them go peacefully
Send your love to them
See them off happily
That's the best present for you to give them
And
We will always be with you
