Personal Reflection

After I chose the alternative topic about clarifying the fact that what Americans eat/like is not real Chinese Food, I felt more motivated to create the project. As interest is one’s best teacher, and I strongly agree with most content of the original news program, I edited the video with great passion and the editing process became my pleasure. Therefore, I learned that finding a “right” topic helps me create the whole project a lot (that also makes it much easier to write this documentation as I just need to write down whatever came to my mind instead of thinking hardly about why I chose the topic and what on earth I would like to express via the media last time)! I also appreciate all those interesting sources appearing online because without them, my project will be based on nothing.

If given more time, I would try to learn more techniques editing videos in Premiere to create better effect for the red “X” (probably an effect that emphasize the “no” meaning more strongly instead of the current scaling version), smoothen the connections in between and maybe try to add some audio effects in the background.
