TV documentary - catching interviewees

At the very beginning, we thought to.........................

TV documentary review

At the very beginning before I really got involved in documentary skills for TV, I didn't realized that it was so mentally as well as physically hard module that we three girls were all tired of it.

As a result, I was too busy to have time to wash clothes, to go to supermarkets, to clean my lovely room, etc. Once there was time, I would like to choose to sleep rather than anything else.

Also I have no time to update my blog. Now the 7th week is coming, and group A turned to radio session either. We have much time now. Let me review what happened last six weeks.

New Beginning

After months leaving my blog alone, it is time to re-start!

Let me begin with our online group's big PHOTO SHOOT!

Actually on the day we were aiming to take pictures for ABOUT ME page of our website - London Out Loud.

We rent the photography studio of school for two hours, however, the progress went very well, much better than we expected. As a result, we ended up picturing tens of minutes earlier.

What was interesting was that some of our online team were TV members also at the moment. We took the cameras all the time as a habit.

Two Chinese shot at random. But after then we thought it was a exciting idea that make it a short film as an advertisement, just for marketing.

So a Chinese boy, Chris, spent spare time to edit which lasted several days. And at the end we "stole" background music from youtube too, of course, we declared the copyright stuff at the beginning of the video.

I sent the youtube link to many friends also my parents. After having a look at the clip, they all said that it was great and excellent! We were experts and professional!

Now let's enjoy!

Year of the Rat

Here comes the second piece for LOL feature.

People who were born Rat come to have a look at your fortune in 2008, Year of the Rat.

The Rat

It is considered an honor to be born in the Year of the Rat.

In China, the Rat is respected a courageous and creative person.

Rats know exactly where to find solutions and can take care of themselves and others without problems.

They use their natural sense of observation to help others in times of need.

Study
Rat people in 2008 will get a lot from friends. They will be assisted and promoted by companions to a great extent.

They should give first place to learn to update their knowledge in order to equip themselves.

There is a Chinese old saying – If one is unable to move forward, one will inevitably lag behind.

So rat people are supposed to spend more time absorbing knowledge rather than stepping at the same place.

Job
The Rat has an ordinary fortune on jobs this year, however, there is still possibilities for promoting to higher position.

Though it means there is more work to do, promotion is worth to celebrate in any case.

But the Rat may be easier to be mistaken this year so that should handle affairs carefully and watchfully in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Money
The Rat has a stable luck in making money, neither better nor worse.

They need to bear in mind to keep away from injustice income, and should not be out for small advantages, otherwise may suffer unexpected personal financial losses.

Love
There will be no big breakthrough of romantic for the Rat through this year.

They must put in a lot of hard work to break the insipid love life.

The Rat who is single is not easy to fall in love, while the one who is with lovers already will have little change with the relationship.

Health
The only one thing the Rat should be careful with is to avoid being suffered from influenza through the whole year.

The People of Rat
People who was born in 1972 is of great others assistance of career in 2008.

They should feel free to hand in new think of project to the managers or superiors. Also the fortune of wealth is quite good which means they are easier to get rich this year.

It is believed that parents will help them a lot this year so that to listen to and follow their advice is a good choice.
