In the first tutor class of Unit 3, my tutor Cai asked me some questions. What are my interests? What am I doing now? What do I want to do in the future? These questions helped me to reconsider my Intervention. I hope to inject my passion and interest into my project. I have always liked to study the development of consumer products, and I have also worked in consumer product start-ups. In addition, China is a country with huge consumption and demand. There have countless companies are studying how to attract consumers to buy their products. There is no doubt that social media is the best publicity medium. According to survey data, people spend an average screen time of 5.4 hours on their mobile phones daily. This is the reason why the development of social media is very fast.
Therefore, in my intervention, I want to choose the beauty camera as my tool. As a new type of consumer application, beauty cameras are widely used in China. There are different types of beauty cameras for consumers to choose. Some can provide better-looking filters, some can change the size of people’s facial features. People are willing to share photos modified by the beauty camera on social networks. There is no problem with sharing beautiful photos with everyone. But more and more people will be addicted to themselves in the beauty camera, and thus cannot accept who they are. So I wanted to make a filter that didn’t have any beautifying effect. I hope that through this filter, people can accept who they are, instead of living in the illusion of a beauty camera.
