Feedbacks
One of the project segments I most enjoy and benefit from is "Writing TV Program Scripts." I am interested in TV programs and aspire to work in a related field, so I find this segment immensely helpful for my future career. Moreover, the teacher's lively and engaging lectures further arouse my interest in this work.
—— Malvern College Qingdao - Student Qu
My favorite part is the animation segment. The teacher taught us how to layout and produce animations, how to find topics to attract people and recommend suitable software for us. The classes are also very interesting, with meaningful examples provided. I also enjoyed the filming segment; the teacher's filming examples are fascinating, which made me realize that media work is not easy.
—— Jiangsu Suzhou Experimental Middle School - Student Yan
The most beneficial segment for me is the interview practice. Our group prepared three plans to interview a basking singer by the harbor, and we spent three days at Victoria Bay to achieve the best results. We learned about the hardships and efforts in the media industry. Though challenging, we gained many new insights into the media industry through cooperation and growth.
