Personal Statement
My great curiosity about camera lens is rooted in a television interview when I was still a young girl. Hunan Television Station held a talent show called Super Girl Voice in 2004. I was a student in high school at that time, and I found the high audience rating brought huge viewers and the advertisers. It also made mass media to be a hot industry. I thought that was a potential job which would provide opportunities; prospects and material conditions for me to take off. Therefore I determined to choose mass communication to be my major.
I am very proud to study in Communication University of China Nanjing College, which is the tiptop communication and media institution of higher education in China. During my undergraduate study, I find myself has been strongly attached to this specific territory. Achieving 82 of the GPA proved that I am an excellent student in my class. I learned basic methodology and theories of Broadcasting and TV program Editor and mass communication. There is no doubt that practice makes perfect. For that reason I have applied for my professional internship as a TV editor in Yueyang Broadcasting & Television Co. Ltd, which is the largest and most authoritative media company in Yueyang. During that intern work I applied what I acknowledged at school to actual process of producing television program, which includes programme scheming, transcribe programme, editing and broadcasting.
Writing scripts and shooting films with my classmates is also my favourite. During the creation process, we exchanged our ideas and discussed about the problems of scripts, performing and postproduction .It is benefit from my strong sense of team work. Being a member of the university’s volleyball team instill the idea of ‘team work’ deep inside me. That is the very spirit which made my short film ‘timeline’, a cooperated film work, won the 3rd rate prize of ‘the 5th International Film Work Selection Practice’. No pain no gain!
Emerging technologies is rapidly changing the media map. Internet, wireless communications and digital video technology are creating a new communications environment. Our world is becoming a earth village gradually which metioned by Canadian professor Marshall McLuhan first time in his in 1967. With the recent tendency of globalization, I wish to pursue my study in media communication. To find out how the methods and perspectives of media communication affect the ultimate communication effects and what global media can do to serve their social responsibility better under a globalization circumstances.
The reason why I choose UK is because I am crazy about English TV drama Like ,, and so on. I am also enthusiastic about football very much and I want to watch the FA Premier League. I choose UK because UK is the media center of European. I can learn a lot of knowledge which I cannot acquire in China and broaden my horizon at the same time. There is an old saying in China: Reading over ten thousands of books is not as good as walking over ten thousands of miles. I will be influenced by many different cultures in UK.
At present, my career ideal is clear in my mind. In order to combine my own career objective with social development and accommodate a wide variety of interdisciplinary knowledge, I will comprehensively study the interactive relationship between mass media and human civilization. That’s the objective law and trends. I pick up this programme with the most advanced research facilities and world-class faculty, to upgrade my knowledge of scientific research methods. And even when I type my Statement of Purpose word by word, I became even more determined with my choice. It’s quite convincible that my solid technical background will help me to understand more clearly the internal operation of the media communication. My adequate internship experiences will prepare me to be easily integrated into the media market as well. Equally, I’m certain that with your wonderful guidance I will play a better part in contribution to China’s media industry and add luster to my career.
In the past three years, though sometimes I suffered setbacks, felt confused or dissatisfied with the reality like a rebellious youth, I have never stopped the pursuit of my interests and all-round development of myself. Modern undergraduate education focuses on the expansion of students’ major knowledge. As the world changing rapidly, only the all-rounders can best adapt to the global society. In this active atmosphere around our campus, I definitely seize the opportunities to cultivate the makings of being a media people.
