Movie Club Activity

I love watching movies. Hollywood’s movie gave me the best feelings. The fantastic actions of the movies can always attract me deeply. Hollywood is the hometown of movies. It locates at California, the USA, and a northern suburb of Los Angeles Urban West. It is also a world-renowned film city. Since the reputation of a great Hollywood film has often been linked to studios and movie stars. The movie industry had been start at here from 1980s last century. Hollywood not only to take movies, also make movies. Hollywood films’ stunt are becoming better and better with the Information Technology’s progress.

Filmmaking means the process of film production. The mature of the file determines the work required during the production team the size and type. Many Hollywood adventure films need computing images (CGI), must be an awful lot of 3D model designers, animators, dynamic depicts the division and other personnel to create.

I have a wish to make a movie. Although, it can’t like Hollywood’ films, I still can feel happy because I can make films by myself. So I joined in our school’s Movie Club created by David Tao. It is a very interesting club. At this movie club, there are some professional to teach us how to use some software to make movies. You can divided a short video and then let something you want out of this short video together with another background. There are some of the software can be used to make movies such as Ulead Video Studio, windows movie maker, and also Adobe Ultra CS3.

David Tao told us that GCA will make our own movies in the future and they need people to help him. First he needs us to learn from Frank Huang. Frank often makes movies. It is an easy thing for him. Today, we will learn how to make the virtual set. To say it a simple way is learning how to cut background. First I need to choose a short video that you had been took and insert it. Then I need to cut out the main body of the short video, just use mouse to make some points around the main body. The next thing I need to do is to choose a nice background and insert it and out put the main body I had already cut out. I was going to be successful. The finally things is to do some adjustment. If I want I can change the transparency, make the highlights much higher, make the shadows darker or lighter, change the hue more colorful, or let the color become saturation.

After learning how to make virtual set. I found that the fantastic scenes of the Hollywood’ films are easy to make. In fact, to make a fantastic movie is not more difficult than I image. Just you want to make movies and you know some filmmaking skills. You will also make a nice movie.

In fact, not only one person can finish a big movie. It need a lot of people to work together to finish. So the team spirits is the important point are required. No team spirits, it will be impossible to make a perfect movie.

Now our club has some professionals. They can make movies well. However, we now have fewer people to join in. We need more people to help us. I think we will make perfect movies in the future.

Improve my table tennis' skills

Table tennis is our national ball. When I saw our players shown their personal skills completely at the games and won the champions or the gold medals finally, I always can’t stop producing admiring feelings. I am not only proud of them, also our country.

When I was in Grade 1, I decided to learn how to play table tennis. But when I really started my table tennis training, I found that the training is boring, just few same actions, day by day liked the same. I started to want to give up it. Yes, I did. I didn’t continue to learn table tennis.

Although I stopped learning table tennis with coach, I didn’t stop my passion to table tennis. My father looked out this point. So he decided to teach me by himself. I played table tennis with my father when I had free time. At the beginning, I can’t control the racket skillfully. And I even made a mistake on starting ball. Gradually, the situation became better. My actions became professional and also my skills were more exquisite than the beginning. I started to love play table tennis and even enjoy it. Although my table tennis skills are better than before, I also had regret. I still didn’t know how to pulling the ball.

Until this winter holiday, I had a chance to learn how to pulling the ball. The different from before is that this time my coach is my mother’s friend’s child. He is a student of Su Zhou University. His table tennis skill is very perfect. He was in the Jiang Su province team. In my mind, pulling the ball is the most difficult. It is so hard. My coach told me that I need to look the ball as clock and I must use my racket to touch the location of 1 o’clock to 2 o’clock and pull the ball up. Otherwise I will not success. My power can’t be strong and I just can let the ball touch the racket a little. It is really difficult to control for every one. So the only way is to practice again and again. My sweat and effort are necessary. After several days of practicing, I finally can do the pulling the ball well. That time, there was exciting feeling that I can’t use language to describe flowing out of my heart. In fact, different balls just different problems. Using different ways to face different problems like using different skills to face different balls. Then you will find something surprising out of your mind.

I didn’t have any talent at table tennis. However, I also can play it well now because I practiced it again and again. I think I need to do every thing like learning table tennis. I do it hard can make up my clumsy. So I have confident to do every thing well. After learning table tennis this event, I know if you want to do something you want. Just do it. You will have a big success.

Besides, playing table tennis is good for my health. It is whole body movement. It can make my whole body get practice enough. After I finished my homework or at the end of the week, to play table tennis is truly a good way of lifestyle I think.
