April In 2012


Compare with the two phase different tasks, I learnt about two style of working method, and also know about how to deal with different requirement. Phase 1 is a defined topic and all of the research and data collection should be around of the topic; Phase 2 is quite different from the first one, I need pay more attention to the creative ability and inspiration. I have deeply understanding from the screen culture, it is a course focus on ideas but combined with basic technique to present the appearance.

Finally I choose Adobe After Effects to edit my project, I learnt from one of my animation classmate, I add the effective and sound into my flash, and calculate the exactly time step by step, I found technology is quite    rigorous even in one second. I need make sure that is 100 percent accuracy during the process. But as a result of the technique factor limit, the flash won’t be perfect and professional, it is a way to present the idea from my brain storm.

Today I start with the flash editing, it is difficult to create any illustration by drawing because of my ability, I choose the photos download from the Internet which can represent my opinion and ideas. Firstly I want to take a video and edit post production, however it is a project that I have done for my degree final project, I want to try something fresh and give some new blood in my master life, though I am not good at animation flash. Just do  it!!

On account of the research, I am inspired by the “fresh” in media field, it is related to mobile media and social network. I prefer to create an animation flash to present the communication situation in today. But as a result of the technique factor limit, the flash won’t be perfect and professional, it is a way to present the idea from my brain storm. The world of social media networking sure is fascinating. We enjoy reconnecting with friends over Facebook, writing recommendations for colleagues on LinkedIn and viewing/sharing videos with friends on YouTube. Social network almost included in each mobile and become an excellent assistant in people’s communication. Because of the first experience to create an animation flash and the drawing ability, I use the photos download from the Internet, not because of the past experience, coupled with the operation of a very unfamiliar, the flash is crude and simple specification. It is the part in need of improvement in the future.

Technique is a big problem and challenge in phase 2 project, I don't have any experience and 
professional support in a such short time, I surf the Internet and watch amounts of related videos on YouTube. The example is as follows: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFSQTGvENXc

Asia loves mobile instant messaging, and China is no exception. For youngsters, the most popular monthly mobile phone contract packages probably include hundreds of free SMS. In addition to SMS, China also has QQ, the decade-old instant messaging that thoroughly dominates the space. Now Tencent, the company behind QQ, is bringing the latest mobile messaging service to the mainstream. Whether you call them a fast follower or an unashamed copycat, Tencent is adept at spotting and pushing the latest internet trends to its vast user base. Tencent’s version is called Weixin. From the start, Weixin was likely a clone of Talkbox, an instant voice messaging start-up from Hong Kong. After Talkbox’s runaway success it became the target of many others including MiTalk, Kiki Messenger, Youni, and of course Tencent’s Weixin. But Weixin has one key advantage the others can only dream of: 700 million registered users. Just about every single Chinese internet user has a QQ account, for many QQ is the internet. For Weixin, a QQ account is the only log-in option, which also immediately allows the app to pull from a user’s existing QQ social graph. Functionality-wise Weixin is fairly standard comparing to its competitors. All have text messaging, photo sharing, voice messaging, location-sharing, and group messaging. But Weixin once again further leverages Tencent’s massive user base by offering an edgy geo-location service. You can see and message any users within a 1000m radius of your GPS position, whether they are a friend or not. Now you can strike up a conversation with a random stranger near you, and we can all imagine the other applications this neat little feature can lead to. One friend told me it was an excellent way to find ‘beautiful girls’ in his vicinity. Social network and mobile media is a quite perfect combination.
