In this project,\u00a0I retold the story of Mulan, a woman hero in Chinese history who disguised herself as a man and fought on the battlefield instead of his father. As a Chinese, I found it hard to tell a cultural\u00a0story in\u00a0English. The language itself affords meanings and I am not a good translator. That’s the main reason why I chose the story of Mulan. I knew there were several versions of movie\u00a0about this story and two of them are in English,\u00a0which could be good resources for me. I chose the Disney version. I reorganized the story to different parts (start, development, climax, end) based on\u00a0the poem, the ballad of Mulan, an old poem that almost everyone can recite in China. Then I found audio resources (background sound, music, dialogues) for each part and tried\u00a0to make the music\u00a0transform smoothly between each session. As a totally new hand in compiling audio and video files, it’s not easy. Alex asked about the choice of the Disney version. I admitted that some of the scenarios and dialogues in the movie was funny and awkward. Actually, the short\u00a0poem is more vivid and inspiring, and that\u2019s why I added the poem in the video. I am learning to be a good storyteller of my culture. I am also happy that this project gave me an opportunity to learn about Au\u00a0and Pr.\u00a0I will incorporate audios in the following projects because sound is so powerful. Here is the final work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
