I have gradually determined the central idea of my project. I wanted to express people’s psychological changes during the epidemic through three psychological stages. But at the same time, I also encountered some challenges. I wanted to tell so many things that I was worried that it would confuse the subject. Besides, I was always hesitant about some picture effects. But the good news was that today I started browsing and buying some related props, which showed that I was ready to plan the shooting.
I look forward to the whole shooting process！

Today I looked for many valuable references and found an artist who brought me thinking: Kathleen Ryan. The sculptures she created look like mouldy fruits. But in fact, the work is made of precious stones. Katherine Ryan once said: "Rot always reminds people of death, but must death be ugly and dark? Or from another angle, decay is just the transformation of life." This reminds me of my own creative theme. Viruses are like rotting molds. They erode life and absorb vitality. But I can still find a suitable way to present the virus and our current lives.

Today is a special day for me because I finally finished the preliminary preparations and started shooting the new normal project. But today I have more problems than I thought. In the shooting of the first scene, I wanted to use enoki mushroom to simulate the shape of the virus and paint enoki mushroom yellow. At first, I used coloured pens to colour, but I found it difficult to evenly paint the colour to the surface of the enoki mushroom. This process took me a lot of time. Finally, I decided to soak enoki mushrooms in yellow ink. I need to complete all preparations and shooting independently. I only took two photos throughout the afternoon. I did not do this efficiently. But the good news is that I am satisfied with the final results.

August 27th is the second day of my shooting. I expect to finish taking all the photos today. But this is indeed a big project. To avoid the same inefficiency as yesterday, my mother came to be my shooting assistant, and I started shooting at 9 am. Unexpectedly, today's shooting was very successful. What I am most satisfied with is the artificial snow setting. A butterfly rested on a giant egg, which was covered by thick fake snow. There were many butterflies remains that fall in the snow around. I like the picture effect of this work.

Today my task is to revise the essay. In my opinion, revising the essay should be an easy task. I improve and proofread the original article. But in fact, the process of self-correcting the paper takes a lot of time. I need to read a lot of information and think. To reflect the academic nature of the thesis, I had to browse the works of some scholars and writers with in-depth research on globalization and cultural hybridization. Usually, their articles are full of proper nouns and challenging to understand, which caused me a lot of trouble. But I did learn a lot of professional vocabulary expressions through their articles. Learning how to write essays is a big reward for me in 9 weeks classes. I once wrote a graduation thesis in Chinese in university, but due to the lack of systematic guidance and academic rigour, I don't think it is a qualified thesis. I am delighted now I am working hard to write an eligible paper!
