WEEK 29 My Undergraduate Application Portfolio

My special area of interest is Film and Screen Studies, and I wish to focus on this during my undergraduate time at LCC. My main motivation is actually the same as the reason why I choose this subject. It is linked to my interest and hobby that I have had since I was young and have continued till now. (Of course, there is also a big reason for my pure love of the UK). I used to read and look at all the resources available around me and then do reflective writing afterwards. From the beginning of prose, to film reviews, to fan writing, fiction and film screenwriting, I have had a good relationship with writing since I was in a position to think independently. I felt like my mind is being made for full of imagination and critical thinking, at least I never lost joy or inspiration in the process. And also another principal factor, in China, Film is currently an inadequately developed academic field.

In addition to my academic studies, two things are distinguished in terms of work experience and extracurricular activities. First of all, I participated in the fun-production of two books about Supernatural. In one of them, I was the leader (the main urge/behind the scenes) and the author of the article. I designed the cover and the layout of the inside pages, and led my friends to create the book together. Finally, I contacted the merchant and sold the book by myself, and made a profit of about 10,000 RMB for our team. As of last year, my various articles had accumulated more than 200,000 page views on a creative platform called Lofter in China (It is no longer updated for some reason). Except these writing experiences, I also participated in a Localization group named “Dongjing”(东镜), which is known as voluntary organized and non-profits. The produced by our Chinesization group can be discovered in almost any app that can be listed on comics in China. The main translation content is all the Marvel and DC Universe comics, and I am currently engaged in the translation of the X-Men.

My strong background in Film and Screen Studies makes me well prepared to seek out a degree in a quality undergraduate program. And if I ‘m lucky enough to be allocated to this subject, I would like to focus on screenwriting in the future. Seize the day, I’ve been writing novels, as well writing a series of independent animated film, and I hope to have the opportunity to shoot them in the future. But if I look ahead, while completed my undergraduate career excellently in LCC, I will choose Screenwriting without any hesitation in my future postgraduate study, so it will enable me to stay on campus for further study, as to acquire more knowledge about this aspect and make more reliable teachers and friends.
