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!

performed a demonstration of how to use the software. Then we started
to work on it. It sure wasn’t easy. ur eyes just couldn’t take it

The truth is we had already visited the wet grain plant before. But,

Today we have returned. Thank s to the support of Yeedon Enterprise; we

more people to the filming division. 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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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
