Movie:《기생충》https://www.nunuyy.top/dianying/34729.html

Time：2:00—7:00

1.Concept

I chose the memory of  my Chinese instrument ensemble’s rehearsal .I aim to convey the actual sounds and the feelings of the whole process when we are having the rehearsal by using so many Chinese traditional instruments . I  want it sounds like both having the tension and relaxation in the period, because the music rehearsal is flexible, it sounds like a complete song but actually is doesn’t. There are playing part and also the pause part during the rehearsal ,and the beginning or the end of rehearsal I also would like to make it very clear and apparent, that can make the scene of that environment very actual and realistic.

2.Talk about the sounds you have used for the project and the reasons for the choice. Describe the recording techniques you have used and explain your choices. Did you encounter any problems? Tell us how you dealt with them.

I used thr bell rings ,the noticification rings of my phone, the sounds of the Chinese flute, Guzheng, which is another Chinese traditional instrment, the drum, and also the piano. Becasue these sounds are basic elements of Chinese instruments rehearsal, and I want all these sounds mixed up together to sound like a crouded environment in the auditorium . I recorded distinctive sound of something specific in short distance,recorded something far away, and also an entire acoustic environment. Because the rehearsal doen’t just need the sound from the instrument but also the talking and the echo of these various kinds of sounds.I couldn’t aviod the sounds of instruments listened like a period of melody which is not allowed  in this project.So I tried to record the single sound of different kinds of sound, so the mixing process is much harder and complicated.

3.Explain your editing process. Describe challenges you faced, and solutions you found or compromises you decided to make. What are the learnings you are taking away?

First I used the rings to begin which means the start of this Chinese ensmble rehearsal,and the following noticification sounds of my phone means that all the members of this ensemble have recieved the message of gathering at the auditorium .I used the echo effect to make it mixed with the background sound, and the other kinds of instruments added in the following sounds.I found it was so hard to make it sounds very harmony, becasue I used the single and simple recoding of these instuments, the mixture used to sounds very weird. So I tried to make each start and the end of single period’s volume down lower ,that can make different kinds of voice dosn’t conflicted with eachother ,the fading is quite useful.

4.Conclusion

How would you improve your project if you had more time?

I would make the left and right sides volume different and changable,tried to make the srounding feelings in this set of environment .

Image of Audition

1.Steyerl talks about how the “unbroken belief” of the documentary form is challenged. How are Steyerl’s ideas about truth and fiction represented and expressed in Abbas Kiarostami’s film? How does truth inform the fiction in Close up? How might fiction inform the truth？

As Steyerl argues in her perspectives, the unbroken belief means the truth of documentaries are challenged for the reason that images and shots have no longer conveyed the reality intends to convey the truth.The images still has the unpredictable factors and uncertainties, sometimes the representation is not accurate or real in the things of images. Those uncertainties are challenging the truth of documentaries, even the meaning behind these images has been destroyed. The truth may provide information for fiction in Steyerl’s article, because there is a truth behind the colored spots in CNN broadcasts, so we can see these spots and understand the context, or understand some abstract things because of the real context.

2. What is the significance of the authenticity and representation of the truth in the media that you consume on a daily basis? What is the role of a live broadcast?

The importance of authenticity and authenticity in daily media may have an impact on politics, public opinion, social life and other things, because these resources are available to ordinary audiences. In popular media, images, news, or current events are either considered to be true or not trusted, considering the existence of editing tools such as Photoshop, and the audience does not always understand the full context of things. This makes the mass media sensational, but also difficult to trust. The function of live broadcast is to show what actually happened at a specific time. I would think that the live broadcast is closer to the truth because it is recorded in real time, which means that the video has not been edited and censored. However, if we cannot distinguish the actual image, such as the CNN broadcast described by Steyerl, this may challenge the authenticity of the broadcast and change the content we rely on to make the broadcast more realistic.

My name: Yicong Liu Audrey

Name of Project: Childhood

Concept:
When I think about my childhood, I usually come up with the soda and lego which are the main compositions of my childhood. They are the attracting and beautiful memories in my golden old time. But all these things including the soda, the entertainment park, the bubbles, the lego and dolls, they all are gone just along the time flies. So I want to use the soda and legos to represent my feelings and miss for my precious childhood , and also the thinking of the time flash away  in my dizzy dream.

Process:
(1) Describe  process in staging and photographing part I.

The first step I have taken lots of photos and tried to show the colorful and attracting features of the legos and soda. What’s more , I also intended to make the color of soda can and legos matched or so-called paired with each other, which I want to make the color of the photo more harmony .

The figures are stable and still in the picture just want to emphasize the lego and soda themselves to tell the meaning of my childhood.

(2) Describe  digital process in creating part II image.

I was so confused about the composition of my diptych because it is hard to tell the atmosphere of dream and memories. The memories usually are faded and not that clear, so the color should be not that bright. And also the composition is also need to create something new to show the theme of childhood.So I tried to use the can to make a little track which we can usually see in the entertainment park, and made the background brown which just like the color of our dreams. 

Conclusion:
I will make more connection between two pictures ,just let the two can’t be presented without each other. To make the two can tell out what is the definition of my childhood even clearly and apparently.

1. What does Ritchin mean with the “fluidity of the digital”? Give an example of digital imaging/digital photography that exemplifies this.

The fluidity of the digital refers to the changes and developments in photography which might came from the advancement and progress of editing technology. In recent years, photo editing software becomes much more accessible and easier to use, people who not only including  professional photographers, can manipulate photos by changing the structure of the image. It can be easily converted to other media, such as video and virtual reality.

Nowadays, any private photos can be made public immediately, and can even be used or manipulated for malicious purposes. Once a friend of mine prosecuted a soap operas’ company for which it use my friend’s parents’ marrying photo in the plot without her permission. That also an aspect of the fluidity of the digital. However, if we can use it correctly, the digital platform also provides us with new narrative possibilities.

2.Reflect on the extent to which photography is capable of capturing reality; and compare it to other media (technology) (e.g. text, video, virtual reality, books). 

With the advancement of technology, we can use photography to start taking images of objects in real life. For example, scientists use electrodes to take pictures of monkeys’ brains. This is a feeling of capturing reality. In essence, they capture part of time through the monkey’s brain and how the brain functions through photos. If we compare this technique with text, video or books, the photography of monkey brains is much more complicated than what the books describe. In this sense, photography can capture reality better than other forms of media. In recent years, computer technology and photos have been developed to the extent that they can replace traditional brushes and canvases. We can capture an image and save it immediately without having to physically draw it out of some inaccuracy. Today, photography itself has become a language, but the vocabulary is limited. Photos may be able to capture reality effectively, but viewers can interpret these photos differently and use them in different ways, which may eventually cause problems, which other forms of media (such as text and video) will not encounter Situation to actual usage of words and sounds. Photography is a new language, but it is not as flawed as any other form of media.

Yicong Liu Audrey,Chopin: Waltz No.19 in A minor, Op.Posth, Chopin

Waltz No.19 in A minor, Op.Posth, Chopin

Concept and Design:

When I first accidentally open the Music app, it recommend me this beautiful and elegant waltz for “guess what I like”, and the beautiful melody let me think up a dynamic picture, because it’s a song for the waltz ,which people can dance to. So the element of the piano and dancers, fantastic dress and crystal high heels suddenly crushed into my mind.Then I seemed like know what I would like to add into this black square.

My design use the similarity, continuity and proximity of the Gestalt theory, because the pattern I want to create is the piano and two dancers ,a male and a female who are holding each other and drawn into this beautiful and smooth melody, the word of “waltz” has been deformated and distorted and showing like the trial of the couple which had left on the dance floor. They whirled across the dance floor and the waltz company with their movements.The English words I used is “I” which can be seen as the couple and also the pianist, the trail on the ground is the “waltz”being distorted.

Process:

   First, it was so hard to create a 3 dimension picture for I intended to make the piano also looks like a stare access to the dance floor,so I tried and failed for many times to make it looks like a spiral stare which is painted in black and white.However, the angle between each stairs and the width of each black and while rectangle were so hard to adjust to the best formation and composition in my minds.And I also asked the fellow for more suggestions, he recommended me that I should make the piano stares much longer and extend it to the left side of the whole paper, which can make the patterns stretch even longer and more extended. The composition of the people and the piano stares also have been a block to me in the designing process.The position I should put into, and how these patterns should be organized also worried me a lot, when I thought about they can reflect and call on with each other, then I finally know how this whole designing being organized.

Conclusion:

    Because I didn’t save the ai version of my design, so I didn’t make the piano extended.If I can make a progress, I would extend the stares and make some variation of the circles.

Express Delivery 

The sender or the sender delivers a telephone appointment. At this time, you only need to call the service hotline of the courier company to switch to manual service, and accurately tell the other party where the courier is sent and received.

After the telephone appointment, the receiver will pick up the package at the agreed time. We can deliver the packaged items to the courier. Generally, express delivery does not provide packaging services. Then fill in the courier slip, and the receiver will hand it to one of the courier slips. The sender, there is the express number on the express note, which is convenient for the sender to query.

Remember, you can not package people or animals in some sealed boxes,

After receiving the courier, the consignee will deliver the courier to the courier outlet in the area, and wait for it to be sent from the outlet to the local processing center in the afternoon, and the processing center will sort, scan and send it to the destination.

The courier will first arrive at the processing center of the destination, and the processing center will sort the courier, and then scan the courier information and enter the courier information, so that the recipient and the sender can inquire about the current location and status of the courier.

After the processing center completes the sorting and information entry, it is then sent from the processing center to various outlets and delivered by the courier at the outlets.

Reading Reflection

The child is like an extension of the mother herself，but the extra parts of the body seem to have just only one-way nerves：I can feel all the pain you send back，but I can’t give you a command to receive to protect you from being harmed。I used to think that the kids being born was a one-side contract：they are saddled with terms and conditions they didn’t agree to（Law,public order, good customs…),maybe  coming into the world itself is not necessarily what they want. But for the first time, I suddenly realized, This is one for parents, too , a one-side contract：they are saddled with terms and conditions they didn’t agree to.

   Maybe I would like to say that it’s parents ‘decision ,they can’t complain about it .But it’s they are indeed willing to make this choice? Can they really choose？Or is it just because,“because I had no choice”？

Heptapods gave humans their language, and didn’t disappear until mankind realized that they needed to work together.As the book says, mankind does not have a unified world leader. Different religions, complex cultures, and diverse languages ​​constitute a diverse civilization of mankind, conflicts and disputes cannot be avoided.

But when global problems arise, can human beings unite like in the book?Nowadays, global warming, terrorism and other global issues are frequently occurring. However, in some countries, some people only care about their own interests and pursue wrong ideas, it is helpless and regrettable. Although there are still many unsolved problems in today’s society, I believe that if everyone takes social responsibility and strengthens their own ideological and moral qualities and global concepts.Then the prosperity of the country and the peace of the world are no longer a utopia.
