Journal #7

What were the three most important points you absorbed from the mid-semester crit?

I noticed that if more people give ideas at the same time, make more confusion, and not united.

But the most important points I absorbed from the crit are: 1, knowing the lack of imagination and have to think more; 2, bad staging that i could improve more; 3, a lot of jump cuts that have to add transitions.

Journal #6

• what’s the approach to working on this piece that’s worked the best for you so far? 

Wherever and whenever, need a quiet environment. (But the true is I don't have that much time. My classes are scheduled too full for me to work follow the calender this week.)



• what elements do you find you need to put you in a comfortable and productive frame of mind for working:
- at home with a hot cup of tea just before/after dinner?


I work better while I am in school, but at home I could work either. need food--this is the most important thing! need Movie soundtracks or CD drama while working that could enrich the boring work time.



- working early in the morning for a couple of hours before anyone else is awake?

no,I've never done this. usually work late till works done and have a short sleep.



- breaking up your six hours of out-of-class work time into smaller chunks, e.g. three times a week for two hours at a time? twice a week for three hours at a time?


only 2 or 3 hours Monday/Friday(only these days have one class) for work time, but it would cause a over-amount work in weekend anyway.



- mixing work with clearly defined breaks for exercise or other play time?


no clear at all, no time for exercise and start getting weight; no sleep on Sunday and Monday(people can say many excuse on their difficulties.)
