Here are some answers to your questions. Generally, students who have just started broadcasting major will face these problems. I hope it will help you:
1. What kind of students are suitable for studying media major?
In recent years, media professional examinations have gradually become large-scale. Compared with music and art, the competitive pressure and employment pressure of students in exams are much lighter, but definitely not all students can get started. There are two most important entry conditions:
1. I am full of fighting spirit to study media major.
2. The second is the foundation, and the psychological quality is the most important.
(If you are broadcasting, you'd better reach Grade 2 A or above in Putonghua before learning, so that you can get started quickly. If you haven't even attended the second grade, your future study pressure will be even greater; Performance at least second-class and above; The requirements for the director are not very high. As for the height and appearance, the director is basically not limited)
Here I want to share a true story with you. Last June, 1 1, a candidate from Hubei province came to me, hoping to get some advice on the media art test. The little girl's height is less than 1.6 meters, her appearance condition is average, and her recitation is easy to break. I'm not sure to tell the truth to such students, but one thing touched me a lot, the students who studied together. In a class, I asked the students to imitate an animal by themselves. When other students were coy, the girl stepped down and played the monkey unnaturally. I asked her why she dared to come down. She said, "I can only play the monkey, and I'm afraid others can't." This sentence reflects the little girl's desire. In the last two months of intense study, the little girl is always the first to come to class. I stood outside early to practice my voice, recite and perform, but I never left any problems. So I persisted in the end and got certificates from Sichuan Normal University, Zhejiang Communication University and Guangdong Ocean University. In the end, I was admitted to Guangdong Ocean University with the highest score in the college entrance examination of broadcasting and hosting professional culture courses, which is a miracle. After all, the time left for her in the college entrance examination is too short.
So the media is a profession to express ideas, and everyone has ideas. What we need to master is the way to express our thoughts. Only good psychological quality and learning ambition can stand out.
Second, is the physical condition really important?
Many students are worried about their height and appearance when choosing this road. They think girls should be beautiful and boys should be handsome. We can't simply and rigidly discuss the height and appearance of boys and girls. It is true that one of the characteristics of the profession of actors and hosts is to use their own body and language to shape their roles. Therefore, students majoring in media have to consider his or her external conditions. However, external conditions are only one aspect, and it is not necessary to reach a certain height to be admitted. It is one of the important conditions to have a well-proportioned, harmonious and coordinated figure without any obvious physical defects. At the same time, it should be noted that the director's profession does not require high height and appearance.
Let me give you an example here. In 2007, a student who was a broadcast host and a performance reporter, whose girl looks ordinary and hard to find in the crowd, was finally admitted to the performance department of Beijing Film Academy, and was regarded as beautiful by outsiders. At that time, the teachers analyzed the reasons for riding the exam and summarized them as: delicate feelings, rich expressions, courage and generosity.
Third, is it important to study art and culture?
Objectively speaking, the cultural threshold of art courses is not high, which is also an important reason why many students choose this road. Even some teachers and parents think that as long as a child loves singing, dancing and acting and is unwilling to study hard, it seems that it doesn't matter if he or she is advised to take an art major in the future.
I have met many excellent students in professional courses, but they missed out on famous universities at the last minute because of cultural courses. At the same time, the culture class determines your inner quality and directly determines how far you can go on this road in the future. I hope everyone can publicize this view more, so that every student who is interested in the media can understand the importance of learning culture well.
4. When is a good time to start looking for a teacher to study?
Media major (broadcast, performance, director) is a major that uses artistic means to express thoughts and feelings, which requires higher understanding of students. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to start studying from July to September every year and take the college entrance examination in the second year. If you want to advance, it is best not to exceed 2 years before the exam, that is, at least you should finish the first grade of high school, lay a good foundation for cultural courses and increase your experience.
For students who are not in the college entrance examination grade, as an interest in recitation, performance and hosting, to lay the foundation for formal entry into this field in the future, then the study time can be determined according to the progress.
5. What kind of training institution is better to find?
I have a headache before exams every year. What kind of institution is better for studying abroad? I also faced this problem in those years, but there were not many institutions in this field at that time. We chose to learn from our teachers and benefited a lot. Now children have more choices, which is a good thing, but we should pay attention to the selection of training institutions, not just publicity and advertising. I have worked as a teacher in four universities and four art centers. I feel that the bigger the art training institution is, the harder it is to take every student seriously. In a national chain art center, among the media courses, there are more than 50 students in a class at the highest time. What a fart! ! ! Teachers are hired after enrollment is completed, and the quality can be imagined.
So I suggest that candidates should pay attention to the following points when choosing a training school:
1, small class teaching, from my years of teaching experience, if the number of students in a class exceeds 15, it is basically cheating money, because there is nothing to teach, and teachers can't take care of every student. However, the smaller the class, the better, because the media course is a communication course. There are less than five students, how to complete the exchange task? Therefore, whether it is small class teaching or not, students are advised to listen to a few classes first.
2. The teaching staff is relatively fixed, and many teachers in training institutions are mobile. This shows that this school is not attractive to teachers and has not consolidated excellent teachers. Teachers are often hired according to the situation after enrollment, and students in such schools should keep their eyes open.
3. One last warning: Don't indulge in prestige. The training institution claimed to have hired a teacher. This teacher is really prestigious, but how much time do people have to come to class? For example, some teachers' professional fields are really good, but learning well and speaking well is another matter. At the same time, I have seen too many university teachers teach really mixed quality, because they are used to university teaching, and we don't have to focus on the students in the college entrance examination. Here I have to suggest that you might as well listen to different teachers' courses, and you will have a steelyard in your heart.
