Whether it is an undergraduate or a master's degree, graduation thesis or graduation design is generally starting in the autumn semester. The first step is to start the question. In the future, students who are engaged in practical work will often apply for a bachelor's or master's degree in the form of graduation design, that is, news works.

Focus on how to write the opening report.

The opening report can be said to be a construction drawing. The selection of themes, the analysis of the existing works at home and abroad, the characteristics of the collection and writing and editing of the work of this work are highlighted. huge. However, the templates of many schools' opening reports are based on thesis, and many students don't think much. "Research Progress Plan" -The as if to write a dissertation.

Write reports or films, of course, to do research, but this study is not the other research. For news works with graphic or audio and video carriers, when writing the opening report, you must find information on the following questions and find information. Look at the work and make planning.

First, why should I write or shoot this subject?

To persuade teachers from cognitive value, dissemination value, and factual background, this subject you want to write is worth writing and worth shooting.

Speak a little more about the topic. In recent years, I have read many works of the school and foreign schools. There is a very deep impression that many students' subject matter choices are clearly de -journalist, deliberately avoiding major news events. Green environmental protection, inheritance of traditional craftsmanship, caring for the elderly or marriage, telling the story of the campus -too much emphasis on the labeling expression of so -called humanistic feelings! Of course, it is not that these themes cannot be made, but students who choose these themes from the opening report to the final work often stop at the attitude and feelings: the so -called non -heritage documentaries are actually the number of tourism promotional videos. The so -called campus story is often interviewed community activities (such as playing).

Undergraduates and masters of news communication are still aiming at the moment, clinging to the news to meet the difficulties, and strive to make compatible special drafts, explanatory reports, and even investigating reports.

Second, what similar or similar themes have been written or photographed at home and abroad?

Just like the literature of the paper, the statement of this question allows the mentor and other teachers in the defense team to understand your vision, your feelings and judgments of other works, and whether the foundation of your innovation is solid.

Third, what new ideas do you have to write or make?

On the basis of explaining meaning and reference to other works, you must describe your works in the aspects of in -depth excavation, angle selection, work form, performance, and social interaction. The professional contribution of your work.

Fourth, how to operate and arrange?

You can tell the teachers what preparations you have made (such as the consent of the acquisition and writing objects), and what difficulties or variables are facing (such as affected by the epidemic, you may not be able to interview outside the school), what else do you have any alternatives? How to arrange the scheme (such as the main matter or the subject matter of the hometown), how to arrange the time progress.

Regarding the defense of the question, the brief reminder three points:

First, if the teacher of the defense team puts forward subversive opinions on your topic or plan, you have to be grateful: opening the question to a test of whether your topic is valuable, the angle is appropriate, and whether the plan is feasible. It is your valuable opportunity to ask other teachers other than teachers. At this time, any disruptive opinions are better than pre -defense and formal defense.

Second, the defense time is limited. Do not mechanically read your opening report from "literature combing" to "selection background" to "time arrangement". What to take or write, what preparations you have made, how to shoot or write.

Third, if the teachers of the defense team signed and approved, you will improve your opening report according to the opinions of the teachers and prepare for implementation; if the defense team requires amendments, you must ask each teacher separately to make substantialness according to the accurate opinions of the teachers. Sexual modification; if your mentor does not participate in the opening question, you have to report the results of the defense results and the teachers of the defense team, especially if the defense team requires the modification, you must first ask the mentor to check the modified opening report. Then please review the teacher of the defense team.
