Club

Here is my identification.

This term, I kept on doing my job in Video Club of No.29 high school. The work became even harder this year. I held a new students recruitment at the beginning of the term. I knew I am used to be a shy person. I prefer working by myself than working with too much people; especially speak in front of many people. However, I had to take my job. My leader ordered me to test the new students on taking photos and planning. It was my first time to give others oral tests, I felt a bit nervous to face the new students. Testing them on technology or skills was easy. However, It was impossible to test them on if they are responsible by asking them questions. So, I got confused with the selection among the new students. I found that it was hard to decide which one to choose without a clear standard. Everyone looked very good and suitable for the job; actually I know that most of them will be not qualified in a few months because of the pressure.

Another challenge for me was to plan a documentary about college entrance examination this term. I have been away from No.29 high school for one year, I could not know the common Chinese high school life as well as before. So, it became difficult for me to write a good plan about the graduating class. The leader of the club suggested me to watch some old documentaries to find some ideas for my project. However, I did not follow his suggestions because I wanted to find out what can I do for the topic without affect by others’ ideas. At last, I finished the plan and handed to him. I do not know if he will be happy with my ideas or not now, but I hope he would agree with me.

I wanted to be a director in the future, so I joined the video club and never give up even though I left the school. The club provided me a stage to try my ability on the media technology and skill, even some art skills sometimes. Also, teamwork is another important stuff for me to learn in the club. My opinion often disagrees others, luckily, most time I could convince them to accept my ideas. I know that in the future when I become a part of a real team, to convince others might be not so easy as I did now. So, good eloquence is another thing I should get when I work.

A movie speech

I took part in a speech on . A engineer from the Jiangsu TV Station came to our school at noon to give us a talk. She talked about how to make movies. She was a professional leader in Jiangsu TV Station who has a lot experiences in making videos, movies, and TV programs. She did not speak too much at the very beginning and she spend most of time letting us asking questions. The movie club members were very active and asked many questions about how to make a better movie. She told us that dividing a whole scene into some little scenes can help. Getting more than one point of shooting the film could make the film looks much more professional. The suitable music in the video is also another useful way to make the movie formally. The engineer was very fervent and willing to solve our problems. One boy mentioned that the difference between common software program and specialized software program would cause us could not make out an film like the real one. However, I thought that the software program is not the most major reason for if the movie is good or not. If

you work carefully on writing the play and shooting the film, the movie will become better.

traditional music concert

I went to a traditional music concert with my parents on 24^th April 2009. The concert was held in Nanjing People’s Assembly Hall. It started at 19:30p.m and finished at around 21:30. There were tatal 22 melodies that night.

China took the charge of the concert. Actually this was my first time to listen to a concert in front of the performers. So, I felt some curious at the beginning. When I got into the Nanjing People’s Assembly Hall, all the musical instruments were all ready on the stage. There were Erhu, dulcimer, Pipa, bamboo flute, and many other traditional Chinese instruments. The conductor was an old man who was full of intense emotion, his performance won a lot of clapping.

I like the Pipa solo “Shimianmaifu” the best in the whole concert. The song described a war between Han Dynasty and Chu dynasty in 2000 years ago. The female exponent showed the audience an excellent performance.

I did not like the western music played by the Traditional Music Team. Using Chinese traditional musical instruments to play western opera sounded too strange for me. It did not make me feel comfortable.
