Video project

We're going to take a video about dangerous things to children. The situations are showed with view of a kid. The camera view will be lower than eye's of normal adults.

First dangerous things happens in the road with smoking adults. The cigarette ash is harmful and because the height of hand with cigarette is almost same with the height of a kid's eyes, it could have high possibility for terrible accident. Second situation is occurred in parking lot. The kid playing behind the parked car is in dangerous. Third is in playground. Some people stay all night in the playground with drinking. It's not safe environment to children.

By filming, we want to alert that children don't have enough safe place to play and encourage adults to keep a safe for children.

The order of situation can be changed and some accidents will be added. In this video project, my role is filming and directing total steps, but all members are doing together and helping each other for all works.

After tests like midterm exam, interviewing or important presentation for my career, i'm usually depressed, whatever the results. But that moments of depressing are passed by, i feel i could step up to next level. It makes me more mature.



Eating food is one of my favorite things. Especially, sweets make me happy when i'm down. When i'm blue, these help me feel better and when i feel good, these make me much happier! (Actually, chocolates have effects making people feel happy)


Summer almost comes here! I like winter rather than summer, but it's really true that i'm looking forward to beautiful beach and crowded with young people. Sometimes hot weather irritates me, fully energetic feeling is only in summer. Even when exercising, it refreshes me by more sweating. I like the energetic summer. 


Once, i was in trouble traveling in europe. I missed the flight and didn't know where we could stay. At subway station, even at almost midnight, i was really confused. There were many homeless people. It was really scary for me.  After that time, when i stand at the platform, it sometimes reminds me about that night.
 

I like traveling in nature. It would be better with friends. Relaxing in green grass, trees and fresh air makes feel free. When weather is nice, i go to picnic at the park and have a rest under the tree. Kids are at playground and some people are taking a walk with dogs. It is really peaceful moment.

Fast Fashion


In last March, Seoul Fashion Week(SFW) was held at DDP(Dongdaemun Design Plaza). DDP was built for gallery, exhibition, performance, and fair. It’s all about fashion and design. We could expect the positive effects of this project like development of fashion industry. More than a million guests visited the fair and 17 fashion designers participated in. It shows us a lot of people in Korea have more and more interests in fashion and they want to enjoy the fashion regardless of gender. Young people are following trend and we can see the newest fashion trend easily on streets. So, there are many clothing shops opened and some tourists choose Korea which they want to visit for shopping.

As same as other countries, popular fashion brands in Korea are clothing retailers like Zara, Forever21, and H&M. These are the ‘Fast Fashion’. It refers to clothing and accessories that are designed and produced quickly to reflect current trends. The word is originated from ‘Fast food’ that has common feature of speedy. Fast Fashion’s purpose is designing and manufacturing stuffs as fast as possible with cheap price. As they produce clothes in a short period with mass production method, it can be possible to maintain cheaper price. These are also called SPA brand, Specialty store retailer of Private label Apparel Brand.

(Mass production)

In 1980’s, an American brand ‘GAP’ was the first to define SPA and adopt a new system of these days. After that, Fast fashion has been growing at a rapid pace. It’s from various country, Japan(UNIQLO), Turkey(Mango), and so on. There are also lots of Korean SPA brand shops like MIXXO, 8seconds, and SPAO.


Because of a low price, most people like to buy some clothes of these brands. Recently, for retailers collaborate with other designers or luxury brands, consumers can purchase good quality things with cheap price. Also, fast fashion is sensitive with current fashion, and people can know and choose clothes following recent trend just walking around in a store. We don’t have to try to browse a fashion magazine in order to capture the trend. Retailers provide various collections of clothes even for children and consumers have a variety of choices.



However, there exist some bad points of Fast Fashion. Retailers provide clothes with cheaper materials and lower quality. That makes consumers put them away from the closet in a short time. Some designers have negative opinions that Fast Fashion doesn’t consider conceptual originality and only focuses on producing a high volume of goods. The style of dresses is being uniformity. People looks like wearing same pants, shirts, and shoes.

The Fast Fashion has a possibility of causing environmental problems. Every year, the clothing industry trashes 2 million tons of wastes, and 2.1 million tons of CO2. These statistical data have risen dramatically in recent years. The cheap price of Fast Fashion’s clothes makes customers to think easily about buying and throwing away easily. This point causes overspend of clothes and it leads to environmental problems.

But I think that Fast Fashion has been trying to solve these problems. As was stated above, there are collaborations with famous fashion designers to cope with a lack of various styles and provide good quality stuffs to customers. Also, some Fast Fashion brands have eco-friendly policies to protect environment. I expect that Fast Fashion industry is giving good effect more and more over time. The only thing I want to say is that buying Fast Fashion clothes is better in many respects, but don’t make light thing of throwing them away.

save the earth


Nowadays, environmental problems are getting serious. Due to melting of ice, polar bears are losing their shelters and they are endangered. It's not only about polar bears. Many other animals living in the South and North pole are in same trouble. Recently, in Korea, people were in trouble with micro dust(fine dust).
Fortunately, many environmental groups were founded and have been done a lot of movements and campaign. People can easily contact these organization through the internet and join them. But, here are more easy things we can do to protect environment.
First, do recycle. Recycling plastics can be a way of reducing air pollution. And also it can save a lot of energy like money. Second, use tumbler instead of paper cups. It can save a large of trees and keep a fresh air. Third, use canvas bag rather than plastic bag. Plastic bags take a long time to decay in ground and then it pollute the earth.
Through these ways, we can help to protect environment. We should do this.
