In this exercise I used several montage shots to express the entire scene. The shots of typing, scrolling on the screen, change-shaped apple, mouth chewing, feet shaking. The shot of typing is a bit out of focus, I cannot get the right focus somehow and I don’t know why. I was thinking is that because the distance between camera and the hands is too short. Also I found the change-shaped apple shot a bit wired and brusque to watch. The short jumps cuts and un-continuity are just annoying. I think it is hard for post production, it is something needed to be considered in pre-production. I thought about it for several times, what can be done in pre production is that firstly put camera at a fixed spot and at the same height. Secondly prepare three apples, these apples are bitten in different shapes. Thirdly camera assistant changes different apples while Phoebe is checking Facebook on her laptop. when editing, the problems might still there, but it will be very slight and small. There might be some better ways to do this, but this is what I can think of. Another thing I’m not that satisfied with is the mise-en-scene. The blot on the laptop, the placemat, the background in the apple shot and the black box in the feet shot are the things I need to get rid of.

Since there have been several cons already, I decided to work well on audio. It took me a while to think of something. Finally I create something like ‘being home alone, doing some laundry, making some tea and checking Facebook in a noisy city apartment’ sound track. For my audio, I searched for some free sound of boiling water in a kettle and washing machine. The sound of water boiling is not that obvious, so I found another boiling water sound and added right before the switch turns off. The sound of the washing machine I found is really good because it also contains the noise of the city in distance, the sound of washing machine is also in distance which is perfectly for me to use. I put the washing machine sound through the entire sequence, and turned it higher after the water sound.
