Media industry course has expanded into out reality working. Research is the most important part in media industry. If we cannot grab the most important information or trends in nowadays, we cannot say we are media maker. Everything in media industry has a lot of things need to research on. We can deny that everything comes from the society. Everything based on researching. In this course, I found out a lot of my media friends are really not keen on researching, including me.  We might feel like it is most tedious things ever, it absolutely not the process of filming. However, I finally understood through the process of the class. We cannot leave without research. In the future career, if we wanna be a producer, we have tones of researching in terms of the analysis of the situation in different things. We need to know the deeper understanding through the academic and convincible proof. If we don’t have enough research for the current media industry, we cannot know anything about it but only an empty mind.

This is the final year. I might need to go back home since if finished my study. In the holiday, I am planning to do some researches on the connection between Australia and China in terms of the co-production filming company, media companies and also the advertising. I might focus more on:

  •  what successful elements in co-production cooperation. research on the successful production company.
  • analysis on what kind of predictable television program might be successful in Australia from Chinese television program, and also China get the idea from Australia.
  • Analysis in terms of the culture identity between two countries.
  • future trends

There are more points will be came up with in the research, and then I will also make a website for my research. basically will be two version in Chinese and English.
