Political Possibilities （Lecture 8）
To be frank, I don't think I got the concept of “politics”. I really do not have an opinion about it. But from the lecture material I got some idea about “Political Possibilities”.
The combination of politics and the media is an important phenomenon in the modern world. It reveals that the relation between media and politics.

Free Culture, Free Society (Lecture 7)
This lecture is really good，I really enjoyed it. Share wares and free wares are useful to me. It is like “a shared culture”, and share the information and things to the public.
Creative Commons is a new concept to me, through the lecture I have some idea about it now. And I know how the concepts of community, collaboration and choice underpin Creative Commons.
Creative Commons is a set of simple license agreement, and this license provides a flexible range of protections and freedoms for authors, artists, and educators. Nowadays, some people may not be aware that they need to retain all the powers of their own works (All Rights Reserved) resulting works could hardly be re-used for new creations by others, while Creative Commons allows your own work to retain only part of the power of the statement (Some Rights Reserved), and thus for their own works by others that might arise from re-used for new creations. From“All Rights Reserved”to“Some Rights Reserved”, it is progress in the course of “Digital Age” and “Free Culture”.

Life （Week 7 Tutorial）
This movie is about my perspective towards life. I think the illustrations are cleverly tied in with the text and background music. Haha… and I really try to make it better. Hope you like it.
Video production and consumption (Lecture 6)
This new century is an era with information reform and development, the application of IT and advancement of new technology make designer in this era faced with opportunity as well as challenge. Video production，though not exclusive to our age , has come to assume an unprecedented, importance. The emergence of the "video production" transforms the way people know the world, understand the world, receive information and communicate with one another. People can get information through computer, television, phones and so on.
As a kind of product, video production has been linked with consumption, and this kind of product trend to ascend straightly. The phone has played an important role in our daily life, we can use it surfing internet, watch TV or listen music. Such a good product provided us a comfortable life. Basically, I think the combination of new communication technologies (such as video production) and consumption is an inevitable trend. In this case, we should pay more attention to it with the effect of these productions on society.
