Since the launch of the Alumni Ambassador Scheme (AAS) in 2003, over 1,400 alumni have joined up and exemplified the “Caring by Serving” spirit by providing voluntary services to their Alma Mater.

In this issue we continue to recognise these dedicated volunteers through our Alumni Ambassadors’ Stories Collection. Tune in to the personal videos of Ambassadors Joseph Tsoi, Maxine Yao and Michael Ma to learn of their impressive voluntary service experiences.

It’s been a year since the Convocation set up its Convocation Facebook Fan Page, and it continues to grow. The Page has become a virtual hub where fellow alumni, whether they are in Hong Kong or further afield, can stay connected with the Convocation, read about upcoming events and learn the latest news about the University and Convocation. You can also relive the joyful moments of Convocation activities in the photo album, and maybe you can even find your former classmates in our photos! For those who are eco-conscious, don’t forget to share your green tips across the alumni community through our Fan Page.  If you still haven’t joined us yet, act NOW.  We hope you will “LIKE” it!

以電影為喉舌 為社會發聲

盧鎮業 (創意媒體榮譽文學士2011)

eNet112-01認識小野(盧鎮業) 是於由麥曦茵執導的港台單元劇《幸福的旁邊》,於劇中飾演男主角的他演得入木三分,在youtube好評如潮。

在學期間主修電影的小野,除了有演出經驗之外,亦是獨立電影導演。小野在父親薰陶下於中學時代開始對拍攝感興趣。「當年小試牛刀,與同學一起參加Ricoh與香港地球之友合辦之環保短片創作比賽,在學生組別勇奪冠軍,不但可以免費參加日本四天考察團,還有機會參觀Ricoh東京廠房呢。」這次的勝利給他很大的鼓舞,也因此令他在報考大學時以修讀電影為志願。

回想在城大中的難忘事,小野笑謂:「當年我使用的舊式手提攝錄機還很笨重,但大學校園卻不許拍攝,因此我們常要進行爆景,就是偷偷進行攝錄工作呢。」他在讀書時期學習了很多電影語言,成為很重要的啟蒙。

小野本身留意社會政治,喜歡以寫實的社會運動及政治事件如六四事件、2008年立法會選舉、菜園村護村、反預算案遊行以及最近的「佔領中環」行動等為題材。他的短片作品《春夏之交》及《那年.春夏之後》,曾於本港多個獨立電影活動中放映。而他參與創作的幾部短片作品都成績斐然。例如:《打還打,唔好打頭》為第三十四屆香港國際電影節參展;《春夏之交》榮獲第十六屆香港獨立短片及錄像比賽公開組銀獎;《那年 . 春夏之後》為香港獨立電影節2010參展作品另外,他又與創作團隊蘇波榮憑《蘇榮的小電影》參展台灣金甘蔗影展,並榮獲最佳男演員獎。看來,小野除了是個有潛質的導演,在演戲方面的才華也獲得認同。

關於演戲,他侃侃而談:「以《幸福的旁邊》為例,在開拍前演員們都花了一段很長的時間去排戲,並一起研究怎麼運用恰當的語氣表達對白,加上配合過往閱歷去演繹角色,就好像共同創作一部作品。」小野曾扮演過不同角色,卻發現萬變不離其宗,角色都多少帶有自己的影子。「雖然是演繹不同的人物,但也是以自己的氣質演繹,人物角色的舉止、動態、神韻都是我的,也是我設身處地會表現出來的反應。所以戲中的角色都不是我,卻又是我的某一面,就好像把自己融入角色當中。」

問小野喜歡做導演或是當演員,他表示兩者都很喜歡,因為導演或演員只是兩個不同的職能,可以從對方的角度去汲取經驗,相輔相成,互惠互利。他說:「創作的精神在於引發思考,希望自己的作品能引發知性討論。」

甫畢業的他已與同學組成了製作公司,主力製作廣告短片及音樂影片。小野表示雖然現時收入不高,但相對時間靈活,能夠做到自已所想做的事,所以他很享受現時狀況。

最後小野鼓勵學弟妹們,創意媒體系的同學該是很有想法的,如果自己有話要說,有一些題目很想探討,就千萬不要讓它不了了之,總會有發表的機會。
