For me, journalism requires constant effort and creativity. In particular, making television series always requires the author and crew to think, research, and ponder for weeks, sometimes months, even years. Starting from finding a topic, determining the theme, how to solve the problem, and choosing the form of expression.
The performer must always bring out a new message from the work and must go to the end of the story, characters... Then, must find a way to tell the story with words, sounds, images that are reasonable, vivid, and newer than what has been done before.
I remember, when making the documentary “My Story” (2013), it was to re-exploit the topic of Le Hong Son - a disabled person in Phu Gia commune (Huong Khe), in the television report “The misfortune did not come” which won the Gold Medal at the National Television Festival in 1992 and won the A prize at the National Press Award in 1993.
In fact, when gathering documents about Le Hong Son to choose the genre to carry out, many people still think that the topic is old, many people now know Son, and the reportage "The misfortune does not come" carried out more than 20 years ago was successful.
But thinking back, the day my colleagues and I made the film more than 20 years ago, Son was just a student in a poor village who knew how to carpentry. Now (2013), Son is a business director, not only taking care of his own life but also of a number of people in similar circumstances.
Thus, in Son, new qualities and personalities have appeared and there is a new environment. The film is the character's own confession after a journey of more than 20 years of struggle. All to express the main idea as the concluding sentence in the commentary: "A person with a congenital disability like Le Hong Son stood up and walked on his own two feet, making normal people like each of us ponder what we have done for this life".
Participating in the 2013 National Television Festival, the documentary "My Story" won Silver Medal, then won A Prize at the Tran Phu Press Award and C Prize at the National Press Award.
In 2018, my colleagues and I made a 26-minute documentary film “Party members go first” without commentary. It is a true story about Mr. Le Van Binh in the land at the foot of Hong Linh mountain (in Xuan My commune, Nghi Xuan) who made efforts to build a comprehensive production and livestock farm and form a model of experiencing the new rural area.
The film won the A prize at the 22nd Provincial Radio and Television Festival, the award for excellent filming and excellent editing; the A prize of the Tran Phu Press Award; the A prize of the Provincial Press Award on Party building (Golden Hammer and Sickle); the B prize of the 3rd National Press Award on Party building; the B prize of the 13th National Press Award.
There are many memories, stories, and lessons about the profession from the films that have been made. Each time they participate in competitions and festivals, filmmakers become more mature, more motivated, and more enthusiastic to create new works.
During my years working at Ha Tinh Radio and Television Station (now Ha Tinh Newspaper), I joined my colleagues and had 34 works win central and local journalism awards.
Competitions, PT&TH festivals, participation in provincial and central press awards are both a mark of professional maturity and a challenge to overcome to meet the expectations of listeners and viewers. It is interesting that creative journalism is a process of continuous, passionate, dedicated work. Even after a lifetime of writing and holding a camera, one still feels a great deal of affinity with the profession.
