Personal Practice Report of Photography Major

In a blink of an eye, three months of professional media practice passed. As I hoped, I came to Hainan Island at the southern tip of the motherland and spent these three months in the photography department of Hainan Daily. Compared with most other students, my internship in the photography department is relatively more challenging, because there are not many interns in the photography department before, and there are no roads or experiences to follow. Even some of them are in the photography department of Xinhua News Agency, and they only deal with photos and words, but communicate directly with people, so there are fewer opportunities to participate in front-line photography interviews.

The three-month internship can only be a glimpse of a leopard in a tube, and it can't be fully integrated into the newspaper. However, this internship experience has benefited me a lot. In the process of internship, I think it is memorable for me, or it has a great influence on my understanding of photography, photojournalists, pictures and newspapers. There are several events, which may seem very simple to others, but this is what I actually realized in my internship, and these things are also worth summarizing.

1. What kind of photos should we choose

This thought stems from a discussion between the photography department and the editor-in-chief. As we all know, we in the editor-in-chief are the "bosses" who decide the articles and pictures in the last edition. Unlike the modifiability of the text, the photos can only be replaced but not repaired on the original basis, which involves a very important question: What kind of photos should we choose for the first edition? What kind of photos do we choose to print in our newspaper?

In fact, this discussion has been discussed by many media practitioners. Even in our fresh practice, there are such doubts. In recent years, the "era of reading pictures" has been announced by many media, and many newspapers and magazines have also highlighted the proportion of news photos in their respective media. However, with more photos, the choice of photos has become a problem.

This discussion during my internship can also be said to revolve around this issue. At the seminar, photographers selected some manuscripts that they sent back to the newspaper, and put together the photos that they thought should be seen in the newspaper and the photos that actually appeared in the newspaper for everyone to comment together. The choice of many of these photos is not only a great disagreement between photographers and me, but also a great disagreement among me about the choice of photos.

Although I didn't speak in this discussion, I learned a lot, and I know most of what I pay attention to when choosing photos. Moreover, I feel that with the improvement of photojournalists' level and the quality of news photos, my cognition and evaluation standards for photos are also rising. I used to think that I am a layman about photos, but in fact, they can say "reading countless photos" and have their own unique standards for the selection of news photos.

"news first" and "picture first" are a pair of conflicts in this discussion and debate. Many people think that as a news photo, it is necessary to have the ability to cover the whole news event and to achieve "a picture is worth a thousand words"; And some photographers who think that "the picture" should be the first place and I think that since there are already words to explain news events, why can't news photos adopt some close-up photos with strong visual impact, because these photos can better reflect the photography skills and level of photographers.

In fact, I think the essence of this discussion lies in the understanding of news pictures. Not only photographers need to improve, but I should also change my mind. As a photojournalist, we should use our own technology as much as possible to combine the beauty of the picture with the news, and as me, we should boldly adopt some novel news pictures, make the pictures with good pictures appear on the page, supplement them with words, and even try to match the news photos with words. This will not only help the photojournalist to take good news photos, but also provide a new solution for the coordination of news photos with words and layout.

In recent years, Xinmin Evening News, New Express and other media have set up a banner for domestic media in the use of pictures. They all have their own picture directors, who check and make suggestions on the last edition of pictures, which can be said to greatly promote the integration of aesthetics and news in the use of pictures in their own media.

Comrade Mu Qing, the old president of Xinhua News Agency, once commented on the development of our newspapers and periodicals, especially when dealing with the use of news pictures, saying that pictures and words are in a very important position, and our newspapers and reports should be "illustrated with pictures and words, with two wings". I think this should also be done by us, and we should find a combination of the two to achieve "benefits".

Second, what kind of conditions determine what kind of news photos you want to do and what kind of news photos you can make

Everyone knows this truth, but as a student who just graduated from an institution of higher learning or an intern, it is much more difficult to do it than to say, which is why all interns will browse newspapers in the reference room of the newspaper for a week after they come to the newspaper.

when I first came to the photography department, the teacher asked me to read the newspaper in the newspaper reference room and let me see what kind of photos are suitable for our newspaper. However, from the very beginning, I made a mistake. I didn't put myself in it, but simply evaluated a film from the sidelines and judged it with the eyes of shooting "sugar water" in the school. As a result, a week later, what I wrote down in my interview book was only which photo felt good on a certain day of a certain year, rather than putting the photo into a news event.

Later, Wang Jun, director of the photography department, told me when chatting with me that it is not that journalists can't take good photos, but that there are too many things you need to consider when news events happen, such as the positioning of newspapers, such as my vision, and more important on-site conditions. "Why do we say that a film that doesn't look brilliant is well shot? It is because when news events happen, we can only take such photos that are suitable for all kinds of rules and regulations under limited conditions, and photographers express everything that can be expressed in the language of photography."

2. Internship: photography class

3. Internship time: April 13 to April 27, _ _ _ _

Internship location: Linzhou, Anyang

4. Internship purpose:

Internship purpose is mainly to make yourself grow. Internship is an experience that every student must have. It enables us to understand the society in practice, learn a lot of knowledge that we can't learn in class at all, open our horizons, increase our knowledge, experience the hardships of every step of life and bear hardships and stand hard work, and lay a solid foundation for us to further move towards society in the future.

V. Practice content:

Photography sketching, going deep into the mountains and deeply understanding the life in the mountains ...

During the practice, there are both bitterness and sweetness. The sweet thing is that I met many friends again. After further discussion and chatting, I learned a lot about photography, which is not available in books, and it is also of great help to play photography in the future. The bitter thing is that we are constantly hiking every day, facing not smooth roads, but tortuous mountainous areas and even foothills, mountainsides and hilltops. During our 15-day practical study, the word "tired" is always indispensable to our experience. But there is always a sweetness in fatigue.

I still remember the first day when we got on the bus to Anyang Linzhou for an internship with excitement and expectation from school, singing all the way, and looking forward to the life and scenery in the mountains. On the way, we talked about the magic of Linzhou and listened to the teacher's experience. It all sounds so beautiful.

When the car approached the mountain view of Linzhou, we were completely surprised. Maybe we didn't see the real mountain view, or maybe we just saw the majestic mountain view. We dare not talk nonsense again, but pour out surprised compliments in one voice. Some partners can't help but pick up the camera and sink into the beautiful scenery of the mountains. Approaching again and again and deepening step by step, we finally reached our destination in words of surprise.

We took off the burden we needed to carry the mountain life, and walked into the small farmhouse in the mountain. We had a lot of questions and concerns about the residence of the small courtyard. It was not as gorgeous as we thought, but a simple and elegant room in the mountain.

We know that this is not a paradise or a place to play. As far as our present status is concerned, this internship is torture in hell. Only in this way can we experience sketching in the forest for nearly half a month on the premise of preparation. In fact, we will fall in love with this hellhole in these days and accept such elegant natural life for the first time, and actually enjoy it quite a lot. The first day to be decided is the end of life, followed by the formal step into the second day of hiking and climbing. Driven by the teacher, we are nervous and active, constantly taking pictures and having fun, very happy, but very tired. When we returned to our residence, we were completely discouraged, and the pain all over us had to make us wordy and wordy. No one can listen to their own nonsense, because everyone feels the same way. When we stagger to hold our own rice bowls at dinner, we realize the difficulty of society and admit that life needs to be paid in order to get a return. There is a famous saying: how can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? I want to change it now: how can we understand society without really entering it?

Internship has come to an end in nearly half a month's life. Our reluctant eyes finally moved away from the mountains. Fifteen days is not just fifteen days for us, but a short and hard life we have never experienced. As the saying goes, the more we are asked to do something difficult to say, the deeper we remember it. Maybe so, but it's not hard to say, but the most precious turning wealth in our lives. We not only got exercise from it, but also learned something we have never learned-perseverance and persistence.

After returning to school, go back and see what you have gained and what you have filmed. We deeply sigh. And feel sorry for our achievements. There are very few excellent photos. After each photo is opened, it is not to lose confidence, not to destroy our will on the road of photography, but to inspire us again. This internship made us really understand ourselves, witnessed our own abilities and found our own shortcomings. This is the harvest and the most successful place for us. During the holiday, I set a real and practical goal for myself. I have become a prepared self before, and I don't waste my time day by day. This may also be the most gratifying place for teachers and parents.

think again quietly, when we are in school for less than six months, we will face graduation, which will mean freedom for the first time in our lives. This freedom also means that we will be far away from school. In fact, the taste of graduation is so worrying to us, and everyone will be confused, with a little bit of worry in it. At this time, we no longer talk big and talk about the future, but now we are facing the reality realistically.

Therefore, in order to set a correct goal, we must pay more attention to what others do, listen to what others say, think more about what we should do, and then do it yourself. Only in this way can we do things well.

The internship is over, and I'm going to start studying and living again. I still need to do a lot of things in my two-year college life. Every bit in college must be a fortune in my life. In my future study and life, I will continue to study, practice deeply, constantly improve myself and strive to create more value!
