The hottest topic in the past two days is none other than Singer 2024 :
由于节目请来的两位外国歌手—— Faouzia 和 Chanté Moore,
No matter in terms of singing skills, expressiveness, relaxation, etc., there is a big gap with domestic singers.
In the end, all the pressure of "guarding the country" was given to Na Ying,
The sister of "Sketch Queen" also played steadily again and contributed a large number of emojis:
In addition to ridiculing, many netizens are also sighing:
Although some of the contestants did not perform well, the performance of the foreign contestants still proved that the program shooting, stage art, and audio equipment of Mango Channel were indeed top-notch......
If you also want to work in the field of variety shows in the future, what major is more suitable now?
#1
Film and television production

Many people think that "film" and "television production" are two unrelated majors.
But in fact, in most foreign universities, their courses are intersecting, and they will only offer the same major.

For example, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), which is the "dream school" of many students, has only two majors in the TFT School of Drama, Film and Television: Theater, Film/Television and Digital Media.
Similar to UCLA, many foreign colleges and universities put together the training of film production and television production.
However, each student in this major will eventually choose a direction that is in line with their career plan, such as:
Directing, shooting, scripting, editing, multimedia, sound art, film and television special effects, and production.
Among them, the positions corresponding to the production direction are mainly film and television production, director, planning, etc., responsible for the whole process of related film and television projects from early control, crew construction, to the implementation of mid-to-late planning projects.
In the process of production, the most important task on the shoulders of the producer is communication: communicate with the merchant about the marketing plan and ensure the funds; Communicate with guest actors and actresses to determine the general tone of the program/script; Communicate with the venue to determine the lease period and alternative venues; Communicate with the government, verify legal information, etc.
In addition to UCLA-TFT, these include:
New York University, University of Southern California, Savannah College of Art and Design, School of Visual Arts, USA;
LCC, University of Glasgow, Bournemouth University, University of Edinburgh, London Film School, etc.
Both are known for their film and television production professions.

Stage design

No two leaves are exactly the same, and likewise, no two stages are exactly the same.
Especially for music variety shows like "Singer", although all singers are on the same stage, in order to match the styles of different singers and different tracks, the stage must also be presented differently.
And this requires the "magic" of the stage designer.

As a major of "theatrical cross-border space design", the essence of stage design is a kind of secondary creation, which is to design scenes by analyzing scripts and characters;
During this process, the designer needs to communicate with the staff including the set, screenwriter, costumes, lighting, sound effects, etc., and adjust the overall tone of the stage according to the specific situation.
Therefore, stage design is also considered to be one of the disciplines with the largest cross-border dimension in the field of art design, and it is a good choice for students who "don't know what they are good at and what they want to do".
In addition to high school students who don't know what major they want to apply for, stage design is also very friendly to undergraduate students who want to "apply for graduate school across majors".
Under normal circumstances, college examiners will hardly send rejection letters because of the "interprofessional" nature, but will appreciate talents who can combine spatial thinking, artistic expression, and stage expression at the same time, and provide new ideas for stage design.
This is why it is not uncommon for students majoring in stage design to have backgrounds in architecture, interior design, computers, digital media, clothing, graphics, etc.
There are far more colleges and universities offering stage design majors than you might think, but many of them are not called "stage design" but are included in "theater design".
The scope of theater design is higher than that of stage design, including not only the content of stage design, but also a series of contents such as performance, director, playwright, costumes, etc.
Include:
UK Lunyi-Wimbledon, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of Leeds, University of Kent, Nottingham Trent University;
The University of California, Los Angeles, the University of Cincinnati, Carnegie Mellon University and other institutions also offer stage design-related majors.

photography

Previously, "singer" has always been in the form of recording and broadcasting, but from this year onwards, it has been changed to live broadcast.
Coupled with the switching between inside and outside the venue, and the demand for the collection of promotional materials, these have put forward higher requirements for on-site photographers.

The photography major has a long history of development in foreign universities, taking the UK as an example, photography courses are offered from the A-level stage.
At the undergraduate and graduate levels, it will be refined according to different employment directions. For example, the University of the Arts London offers 6 photography majors, namely:
- Camberwell: Pure Art: Photography
- Central Saint Martins: Modern Photography
- LCC-School of Communication: Photography, Commercial Photography, Documentary Photography
- LCF - Fashion Academy: Fashion Photography
Among them, the commercial photography major offered by LCC is more in line with variety shows.
商业摄影（Commercial Photography）本科为三年学制，硕士学制15个月，
Based on the creative industry, this major teaches students to produce commercial works that quickly grab the eye through lighting, composition and pre-processing.
Therefore, the employment of this major is very wide, from the film and television industry, advertising industry, to the fashion circle, and the publishing industry, commercial photographers are needed, which also makes the competitive pressure of the commercial photography major continue to increase.
In addition to Lunyi, these include:
School of Visual Arts, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Rhode Island School of Design, Savannah College of Art and Design, USA;
The Royal College of Art, Goldsmiths College, University of London, Kingston University and other institutions are all famous for their photography majors.
