Fantastic!  All Done!

Content

Participants: Teachers and all team members
Recorded by: Chi-chang Tsai

Location: Cyberfair Project Work Room

Meeting subjects:
1.Enjoy the final result of the webpage
2.Share experiences and thoughts

Meeting contents:
We finally completed our website. We didn’t have the luxury of a Computer classroom. Instead we were put into a temporary established Cyberfair Project Work Room with uncomfortable chairs and little space. In fact we had to be all squeezed into a tiny room. Nevertheless, we overcame all obstacles.  The past two months of hard work were truly heart felt. However, after seeing the final completed webpage, we’ve all forgotten about the previous hardships. Nonetheless, there still remained some regretful moments. Due to the fact that we’ve posted some self-made films, there wasn’t enough space to post the teaching films of our self-composed songs. It was a real pity. During all this time, we are most grateful to our instructing teachers, those who we have interviewed and all who had helped us. Without all your help we couldn’t have completed the webpage. Here we would like to say thank you to you all. Thank you very  much!

We have increase the number of filming crew to 5 people; three on digital camera, one on digital camcorder and one on recording pen. We believe we will achieve better results this time. Luckily, there were trucks shipping wet grains at the time. So we got to see the whole operation process. It was fantastic!

Today we visited San-Hao Rice Mill and interviewed its Chairman, Hsi-quan Chen. We had first prepared 30 questions for the interview. Chairman Chen’s replies were so fast and complicated. We weren’t able to write down all his answers. Luckily our teacher brought a recording pen. I guess we won’t be able to organize the notes until we get back to school!

We didn’t spend much time editing the films. Most of the time was spent on choosing the films. We had really filmed too much stuff. Next time, when we film we should delete any unwanted film right away. If not, it’s really too time consuming!

Thoughts after Visiting San-Hao Rice Mill

Content

This afternoon, after school we visited Chairman Chen! I was so nervous!!!
I am in the filming division, so I filmed quite a bit of stuff! As I follow by our teacher’s side apart from worrying about not taking good films, I also had to worry about tripping and breaking the machine I had in my hand. But to tell you the truth, a rice mill factory is no quiet place. It’s so noisy! I can hardly hear what the respondent was saying!

Afterthoughts of Visiting San-Hao Rice~Kai-lun Wang

Content

I had gained a lot of new knowledge visiting San-Hao Rice Mill. Being in the filming division, I had also learned how to film and take photos. Especially when I was filming the automatic packaging process, I had to chase after a bag of rice and make sure the camcorder does not qhiver in my hands. If not, the image would come out unclear. I remembered this single scene took me five takes to finally get it right. I f inally understand that being a film director is no easy job!

Tomorrow, we the Tuku Exploration Team are about to visit San-Hao Rice Mill for the third time. Apart from asking questions which had not been asked previously, the whole focus of the mission would be on the filming division. Since, the pictures taken in the previous two visits lack central theme and the qualities of the pictures taken were poor. We really have to outdo ourselves this time. Today our teacher did a special demonstration on how to not film with quivering hands. Our teacher also taught us that photos taken must have a theme. You just can’t take photos of everything. The interview division did well. I guess, we the filming division will have to do better next time!

Today our teacher taught us how to create overlap images. We learned that if a photo has not been fixed with either overlap image or special effects, it would appear bland. It would appear uninteresting. Our teacher also did a demonstration on several special effects from the Tool Bar. He also allowed us to work on hand some of the most common options from the tool bar.  My favorite options are the flashlight and border special effects. They were easy to use and they make the theme standout more. It’s fantastic!

Computer conversion is not necessary. Of the different kinds of recording equipment we are most familiar with the operation of digital camera. However, knowing how to operate it does not guarantee a pretty picture. The use of angles and lighting is also critical. The digital camcorder is one of which we had never used better. We are still not familiar with its operations. Guess we will have to spend more time practicing after school.
