Communication Research

This is the biggest challenge I had to overcome during my time in the university. Among the various topics I submitted for approval; my least favoured topic and the one I’m most unfamiliar with got picked.  I had to study the difference aspects of a Moro film created by Moro filmmakers to construct the Moro image. I bravely took on this challenge and dove into unfamiliar waters, doing so pushed me to be systematically resourceful in completing the study. It was both a humbling and enlightening year of research work for me. I had a lot of fun learning a culture so different from my own yet so closely tied in history.  With a lot of hard work and help from amazing people I was able to finish. And if the feeling of accomplishment wasn’t reward enough, my thesis was picked to compete in the search for the best thesis and bagged the 2nd place. It surely is a tremendous honor to have been chosen to compete and more so to have placed second, but the real honor was working with people who believed in me and helped me in their own special way.

Advertising

I love advertising.

I love the ideas behind it.

I love that “advertising thinking” has the power to move mountains. Put it together with “design thinking” and you’re packing a powerful punch of potential that can turn the world on its head.

I love that thirty seconds can inspire a movement and that a website can change the world.

 

In my advertising subjects, I was taught to develop advertising and marketing strategies by analysing advertising styles used in different mediums, such as TV, radio and print. I learned methods for creating advertising plans for the media and test their effectiveness.

I was thought to identify a target audience and create ways to sell products to that audience. Through analysis of case studies and study of magazines, TV and radio commercials, newspaper ads and Internet ads, we develop advertising plans that can be used by real businesses.

Lastly, I learned how to organize and implement an advertising campaign.

Production: Radio, TV, Fim, Theater, Photography

Although anyone with a home camcorder can become a "director," or someone with a SLR can become a “photographer”, production classes provide an added level of depth and understanding to the craft. Not only do you receive a tremendous amount of academic learning from professors and teachers, but you also have an opportunity to bounce new ideas off of your fellow classmates. In addition, production classes teach you all of the essentials required for operating more sophisticated equipment, software, and computers. In short, production classes can help you become more productive, more efficient, and more creative when it comes to creating stunning works of art.
