Free Project: SMART Objective and Plan

In this post, I will talk about the SMART Objective and Plan for my podcast project.

Source: Georgia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce

  • To begin with, the project will be a five minute podcast about the Taiwanese New Wave cinema, in which it will specifically talk about what the movements is, the characteristics of the movements, some auteurs and their films, as well as how it impacts or contrasts to films now.
  • I will be evaluating my progress through the blog posts, with three research post after this, two process post, upload to website post, and then a final reflection post. 
  • Although a podcast is something new, I feel that creating it, as well as talking about the subject matter is very achievable and not too complex.
  • I feel that this project is relevant in terms of my progress because not only does it allow me to explore other media, but to also explore films more deeply, particularly with the Taiwanese New Wave and how films can portray society and the human condition in such ways, etc.
  • I will make sure that it is achievable in two weeks. I can achieve this by completing the research this week, shooting and editing next week, and then finishing it all up right after that. Thinking about other assessments, although balancing time may be hard, I still feel that this is achievable as long as I put a lot effort into it.

Moving on, the plan that I have made is:
  • Theme Research and Outline = 24 Feb
  • Technical Research = 24 Feb
  • Artists Research = 25 Feb
  • Writing Script = 26 Feb
  • Recording = 27 Feb
  • Editing = 28 Feb
  • Finalising and Website = 2 March
  • Reflection = 2 March
In terms of theme research, I will be researching a lot about the Taiwanese New Wave as a whole and what a podcast is. On technical research, I will research podcasts equipment and softwares. On artists research, I will mostly focus on Edward Yang, Hou Hsiao-Hsien, and Tsai Ming-liang. I will then write a script, rent equipment from AV loans, record my lines, edit it, and then finish it.

Website Research: Hirokazu Kore-eda and Dany Cooke

Image
In this post, I will look into two websites by filmmakers and compare both of them. This research will help me on creating my own website by considering the use of colors, layout, typography, image, useability, navigation, and my overall thoughts on the website. I will be looking into Hirokazu Kore-eda and Dany Cooke's website, with both being filmmakers and quite experienced in the filmmaking industry. I would like to learn from two websites of two very different directors, with Kore-eda a 60-year-old filmmaker that is internationally known, and Cooke a young freelance filmmaker. Hirokazu Kore-eda's Website First off, I will talk about Hirokazu Kore-eda's website. From the home page, the website looks very simple, with a showcase of stills from his films. I noticed that his website only consists of Top, News, Profile & Works, as well as Message in the navigation, with the layout being centered and in a long bar. When I scrolled down, there is his twitter feed, news f

Website Creation: Gallery Page

Image
In this post, I will talk about the process of creating my Gallery page for my website. Because the layout of the gallery page already exists, I don't have to choose a template. The font I will be using Avenir. I began by editing the "My Gallery" section on top, then I wrote a short description on it as well.  Moving on, I moved on to the projects. I deleted most projects that the website has, and included my project, which is Grief & Loss Script, a 10-15 page long script on the theme of grief and loss. In it, I also included pictures of my script and my Milanote. In the future, I will be updating this project section with my progress on the script. After finishing the "My Gallery" desktop page, I moved to edit the mobile version. I changed the title to 24px and the description to 14px. I also tried to change the size of the project since it's too small, but after trying it, the size can't be altered.  With that, I had finished my Gallery page. Check

Reflection: Moments of Sorrow

Image
I gained an interest in theme of grief and loss through films and through my own concerns. I feel that the theme itself is very heavy, and is a challenge to write because of its complexity. However, I wrote this story for more personal reasons. I often thought about whether or not I will be ready when people I loved died, and how I will be able to move on from those moments of sorrow. As such, I feel that this is personally a way of preparing myself to face that fear. Along with this, I wrote this story because I want to not only understand the nature of grief and how it affects people, but of how we can move forward from an unforgettable loss of a loved one. As an aspiring filmmaker, I am very much eager to learn about all aspects of filmmaking, especially writing which I view to be the most important aspect of films as its often the core of the story and film itself. As such, this project has helped me to do more writing, especially in terms of having to fit the story into only 15 pa
