Strategies

Initially, we thought that might be good to have some interviewing part in our research , might be more convincible. Dr Fran Martin at The University Of Melbourne who is a lecturer of cultural studies would be a good start to discuss about our research and share her expert knowledge on television, film, literature and other forms of cultural production in contemporary transnational China (The People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong), with a specialization in transnational flows and representations and cultures of gender and sexuality.

Also, there was a seminar called “Not Just K-Pop“ on April, 26th at North Melbourne Town Hall, hosted by the NYID (Not Yet It’s Difficult) company. This seminar covered an insight into one of the most dynamic and sustained cultural explosions in Korea, Hallyu, and asked some pertinent questions. Why and how did it happen? How have the dynamics of popular culture shifted in the region? How have these dynamics been mediated by social media and youth culture? how is Korean contemporary culture going global affecting their local and international arts scene?..etc

Finally, we thought that we might keep the interest to the audience. we will make up four mash up videos from different countries, we will show that what kind of style belongs to this country, that might be more interesting for the audience in terms of boring reading through the research. we will put out research link in four separate videos. firstly we will let them have a brief idea about what the television program looks like, and then start to read our research.we all think it is a good idea in terms of not losing the interest to the audience but also they also can learned from the our research.

Problems Solving

We found out it is very important to clarify the idea we are researching on, the problem we are facing with is the even though it is a good idea to separate different countries to analysis, but the problem is that we don’t actually have some connection between us. Each member only doing their own part but have no idea about what other people research on. It is not a good idea for a group project. Therefore, we will post the bullet points of main ideas, or research questions on facebook group to make sure we are all in a right track and it might be good for our research area.

There is another point is about my research. I am bit struggling with the case study I am focusing on. I have already done a lot of research about STAR TV and TVB; there are a lot of points that I can focus on. But in terms of the specific drama, I was thinking for a long time, because I wanna express the idea of how star TV and TVB has influenced on Hong Kong television program. This is my research question. Personally speaking, I know that TVB has a strong market because of their television drama has made a lot of effects on Mainland China. Therefore. I am thinking to use a ancient costume drama serials to identify that How Hong Kong television channels wanna get more benefits from the point of the huge market in mainland china. However, they didn’t completely imitate the model from mainland china, but have developed the costume serials in their own way. I think it can identify as a transnational case study.
