Students make video celebrating university’s new start with unified campus
In remembrance of university merger, video footage of two campuses cross edited.
Students made a video celebrating the merger of the two DKU campuses of Jukjeon and Cheonan. The title is ‘To Another [Dankook],’ and it was produced to celebrate the new start of Dankook University as it converts to the One University, Two Campuses system.
The video is composed of students of each campus enjoying school life, and the footage was edited in split screen. This video is especially worth notice because its story and video editing direction came directly from the students. Moreover, it is notable that the video illustrates the two campuses as one university. Filming one student waking up another dozing student at the other campus but showing it all in one screen with a split image or showing people playing soccer in different spaces yet editing the footage as if they are playing soccer in same place sends a message of Dankook University’s unification.
Director Park Hee-Yeon (junior, Department of Visual Communication Design) said, “it was difficult to move between Jukjeon and Cheonan every time to shoot footage, but I feel that each campus has become closer like brothers watching this completed film.”
Last June 27, Dankook University received approval from the Ministry of Education for a Main-Satellite campus merge, and each campus is now enhancing its specific competency; Jukjeon Campus for specialization in IT and CT, Cheonan Campus for specialization in BT and foreign languages.
