·         How did your idea develop?

For the second assignment, I decided there are two parts of my clip. The first one is how the western media distorted the truth of the riots in Tibet and the second part is about torch relay was disturbed in Paris and London. Coz I find lots of videos from YouTube and www.anti-cnn.com, but I can’t use a lot so I decide use 3 clips about how the western media distort truth. Then I choose the song “conquest” which is from website, I think it is very fit to theme.

·         What decisions did you make when editing your film?

When I edited my film, I used the subtitles to explain the situation what I want to talk about, and mix the clips with the storyline, modified some pictures to highlight the serious fact.

·         What things might you do differently next time?

I will try other editing transition next time and some sound’s effect, to learn how to use 3D max or Flash CS 3 to make a short animation.

 

Reasearch of second project December 5, 2008

Who is the enemy of democracy?

 

In 2008, there is a troubled year of China: the 314 firing incidents of vandalism in Tibet; the torch relay is blocked overseas. At the same time, some split forces embark upon a political venture: so-called peaceful protest. But who attack whom? Why they all have selective BIAS, neglecting truth? It is simply a transaction between Dalai Lamar and the Bush administration. Here reports from the main west media all with distorted voice, has surprised us. And they lie…again and again. Obviously, there is a cabal, a cold war against China! We need to stop violence, stop media distortion. To guard the Olympic torch this is the symbol of peace and friendship but there are always various obstructions on the progress of torch relay. A hard long march!

In Paris

In London

In Canberra

In Soul

 

It’s all about interests – political, “national security”, economical etc. The US government doesn’t give a shit about human rights or democracy. For the US, It’s just an approach of retaining the dominance over the world. When they’ve done something nasty in Mideast, Latin America and Asia and “unfortunately” screwed it up. There is always somebody to be made a scapegoat for what happened and the “SO-CALLED” free media to save their ass.

 

Thanks to CNN, BBC, Spiegel, all the liar western media, their behavior have educated a whole young generation in China. As chairman Mao said: “All reactionaries, paper tigers!”

 

From second piece of work, I decide to make a video about this topic. Make the world listen to our voice.

 

Progress of my work October 17, 2008

This week I have done a lot of things. The first one is that i found a local issue about Disaster Capitalism. I went to a socialist party’s meeting with Talat and Aisha at monday night. During this meeting i found 2 influenced local issue: the postal system and healthy system have been influenced by American company.

In the postal sector the Communication Workers Union faces a huge battle. The entire post office network is under threat, with 1 in 3 delivery offices, including Coventry’s Bishop Street, threatened with closure. In the last 10 years 22 local post offices in Coventry have closed, with 4 more announced in recent days. The main city centre post office in Hertford Street has gone to WH Smiths. These whole things is due to the labour government and postcomm opened up the British postal market to other countries. And hundreds of local jobs are at threat.

In health New Labour wants privately owned clinics directly competing with existing GP and hospital services. It is no coincidence that US health corporations are muscling in on the NHS market. In coventry, the only one hospital has been owned by a American company. Now coventry’s residents have to pay money when they go to the hospital.

The socialist party want to win the campaign because today’s labour party is a party of the giant corporations, its policies attacked on the lives and living conditions of working-class people.

And the second thing what i did is filming the paper portraits performance by florence peake and katye coe. Then i will edit this clips to a short documentary.
