The Summary of "A little local difficulty"

The article named "A little local difficulty" adapted from the print edition of The Economist on Jul 7th 2011. The main idea is American newspapers have encountered difficulties, opposite, their development are very rapid in rising markets. Because of the technological development, internet and cable television appeared and got more and more advertising revenue, especially, "Craigslist" a very popular free website. So, American newspapers can not get enough income from advertisements. But, in Japan, because of the subscription, newspapers sell well, and the only problem is young Japanese don't like newspapers. In Russia, because of the government control, newspapers' sales also grow, and the youth like internet, opposite, the old people like TV. Indian newspapers' sales has already became the top one in the whole world in 2008 and it is still growing very fast. But the newspapers have already turned into unfashionable in the minds of the young.    

The response of "TV Can Improve Kids’ Behavior, Study Finds"

First, I am afraid the studies which research the relation of TV and kids' behavior should close. Because, nowadays, the children have their own individual thinking. Their parents don't have the power to control them about which channel they want to watch. And, now, some educational TV channels also have many violent films and violent advertisements because they also need ratings and money. So, the studies' findings mean nothing. They cannot stop the children and the TV station. What should they do? The only answer is CLOSE!

Second, the children can acquire some beneficial information from some violent films, so from this perspective, we can not stop them to watch the movies. For example, there are many many heros in the United States and most of them have their own movies such as, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Hulk, and so on. All the heros' films are violent. But they can make the children who have watched them to get some good information like, brave, staunch, patriotic...  It is a really important way to let the children have a positive view of the world. As a result, we CANNOT stop the children to watch the violent movies.

Christakis who is the lead author of a study and his team should laid-off together. Because he and his team's result of the survey is a big wrong. Everyone is different, and the children have their own character. Different character have different hobbies and different hobbies have different choices of the type of television program. For example, some boys like violent films but some boys like foam dramas, because they have different character. So, we can not control the children to choose some education channels which they really don't want to watch. It is devoid of humanity! So, Christakis and his team got a big wrong and they should LAID-OFF as soon as possible!     

The response of video which is shared by Ying

The shot which has a black cat and a white dog is very interesting, and I think the cat and the dog must fall in love for a long time. Because the cat touch the dog's back in a soft kind of way and snuggle up to the dog. In my speculation, the car is a girl and the dog is a boy, and their love is pure, very pure. Because, at that shot, they are very quiet and they enjoy the time they are together. So, they fall in love, but the only regret is they can not have a baby~  

The response of video which is shared by Elseddic

The actors look very similar. I think they have a same face, and the only different is their hair. Actually, there are many different people have a same face in the world. It is not rare I think. For example, there is a organization collect different people's faces technically. Everyone can put your head portrait on their website, and then, they will compare photos through the computer. At last, they will find the different people who have the same face and contact the two people to have a meet. Until now, they find more than 100 same faces. So, I think there must have a lot of same faces in the whole world.

B-roll & Multimedia

B-roll
It is the extra footage captured to enrich the story you are telling and to have greater flexibility when editing. Instead of featuring only talking heads on video, you went to have other images you cut away to that will add dimension to your story.

Multimedia
It uses computers to present text, audio, video, animation, interactive features, and still images in various ways and combinations made possible through the advancement of technology.

The feeling I like


My favourite area


The more wo do, the more we can do.

Hi, guys

I'm Helsing, it is a cool name, isn't it? But in our COM class, you can call Helsing or Duopu or brother or sister or.... , anything you want. I promise I will answer you^-^ Xian is my last name, it is no meaning as a family name, but if you really want to transfer to English, it means line~ Sometimes I hate my family name, cuz it is not common as a family name in my homeland. Sometimes, someone calls me Qian, that means money in Chinese. So, if you guys go to China, call me Helsing or Duopu please~

I have a handsome brother and his name is Duofeng. That means an edge tool, Duopu's meaning is jade. So, when you put our name together, the meaning is make an elegant jade. But until now, we still are not craftsman~
