Like many other students in the university,
all I wish is to get admitted by my favorite program after finishing my one year
university studies life. Being a television reporter is one of my dream jobs
since I was a child. Therefore, in the following three years, I would like to
take the media and communication courses as my major.
Shooting in front of a camera is not only a
process of reporting, but also the procedure of raising the public awareness of
social issues. In order to changing the political apathy problem of Hong Kong
citizens, the first and most important thing is to provide an attractive news
program. Lots of people reviewed that the reason why they are not interested in
watching news on television or reading newspapers are mainly because they get
bored of the old reporting methods of Hong Kong. Therefore, after studying in
the media and communication courses and getting the basic knowledge of
reporting news, I hope I can discover the most efficient way of reporting and
improving the reporting quality of Hong Kong news programs, which may help
attracting the audience and improving the political apathy problem in future.
Other than reporting every-day news, another
job responsibility of television reporters is to produce numbers of current
affair programs, like Sunday Report of RTHK. Coordinate with the new and
high-tech facilities of the Creative Media Centre of City University. I can learn
the ways of finding comprehensive sources and the skills of interviewing people
by using different kind of devices or applications. I can also grasp the deep
idea of the whole production process by getting in touch with the virtual
production environment and producing those programs during my studies. It is
hoped that I can familiarize with the producing procedures and the working
environment before I get into the real ones.
Studying in the media and communication
department also provides me a valuable internship opportunity. Due to the
limited television station in Hong Kong, there are only a few of job
opportunities. As a result, it is difficult for people to earn a television
reporter internship chances other than the transformation of university. Therefore,
if I can get into this department and perform well after I get the internship
chances, I may get admired by the employees and employed by the company, such
as ATV or TVB. In the other words, getting into the media and communication
department not only provides me a great learning experience, but also gives me
one practical thing after I get graduated: job opportunity.
Apart from saying what the course can benefit
my future career plan, I think my own personalities are suitable for this
department.
On the one hand, since being a television reporter have to pronounce more than
thousands of words within fifteen minutes, the legible pronunciation of wordings is always my advantage of being a
television reporter. As two consecutive champions and the best presenter
of the inter-class theme based presentation at my secondary school, my teachers
always praise me with my fluency and tone of speaking. On the other hand, I am
a logical person who can analyze affairs easily. Since reporters have to report
issues in a comprehensive way, critical and analytical thinking are required
for the job. And after the past six years
practices or examinations of liberal studies, these required personalities
become one of the strengthens of my studies.
To conclude, studying in the media and
communication department not only benefit my future career plan, but my own personalities also show that I am capable of
this department. Therefore ,I choose it as my major in the following years.
