Micro Project 4

For this project, I want to choose Union Market where I work to describe. I work in Union  Market since last semester. The main activity I do there is preparing food for the salad bar. I often get the food in the cooler, cut them, take them in the container and warp them for waiting to sell. I work in the back of the Union Market, where usually quite noisy since we need to wash the dishes, use machine to cut the food, talk and wash our hand. All of these make much noise. When I close my eyes, I can also hear the sound of the machine, the running water and the sound of knife, then I can make sure that I am in the back of the house.

After I finish this project and watch it, I feel good. I think that I transform the initial sound well. I tried to make the sound more active and regular since I think when I work at Union Market, I am energetic and I love this job, in addition, this job is in order, I should do everything step by step, so I tried to make the sound regular and active. In the process of creating this video, I made overt decisions about the piece. I want to record every procesure of  my work. Firstly, I need to slide my buckID, then I can have something to drink during my work, I use the machine, I get the food from cooler, I cut food and so on. They are normal but unique to me. I am happy that I hace this experience to make this video and create the sound, I record everything from one of my main activities in college, and I made the sound which can really reflect my emotion and which also really adapt to the characteristics of my job. However, the screen of the video is too narrow and during the process of making the video, my hand always block the camera and make the picture not perfect. In addition, since I cannot use my phone during my work actually, so I make the video with nervous, the process is not really complete and I do not like that.

This story talks about the talk between Robert, a blind man and Carven. Robert is a friend of Carven's wife. They worked together a few years ago. Since then, they became friends and sent tapes to each other to talk about everything around their lives. Robert had a wife, but she died from cancer. I think this woman was really loved with Robert, so she could undergo that her husband cannot see her, and cannot know her mood from her face and eyes. When she was happy, her husband cannot know how happy she was, when she was sad, her husband had no idea since he cannot catch her sad from her eyes and face. Therefore, she must be independent and learn to be brave and strong. It is difficult for this couple to experience these things so they must be love with each other deeply. So when the wife died, Robert must be really sad. Carven does not like the blind man at first, he has never got along with such a blind man before, so he has no idea how to talk with Robert and he cannot understand Robert's life. However, such a man teaches Carven a lesson about how to feel the world. It is not enough to experience the world through eyes, heart is extremely important. Heart can deep your feelings and make the world more transparent. Using the heart to look at the world can make the world more beautiful. And I agree with that. Sometimes eyes cannot distinguish what is true and what is wrong, but if you use heart to feel it, your heart can tell you which one should follow.
