The reason I decide to shoot this scene is because all of other scenes I made this semester are all focus more on specific events than the environment and atmosphere. So I made this scene to show audience around my apartment. Again I focused on small things, and the frames are tight. However they are just still images of my apartment without people in it. Some of them are stilled related to events.

I shoot this with my Canon 700D and edit it with imovie. During shooting, I was trying to use tripod to get some shots to reduce the shaking, however because my shots are mostly close ups, I found very inconvenient to use the tripod. So I just carried my camera around finally. When I showed it to Paul, He suggested it’s better to use a tripod because it looks shaky. What I should do is to make it stable or shaky enough. But too shaky doesn’t really work for this scene. I shot the same objects in different angles and from different position like the wardrobe shots, the washing machine tube shots, the wall and desk shots. I was trying to show audience different perspectives by doing so. Also, I tried changing focus out during the shower nozzle shot. First audience can see a clear image of the shower nozzle, then the focus starts changing, followed by the filthy shower window. The slight changing is perfectly associated with the big still image, and it feels so real!! Another thing I kept paying attention to during the shooting the depth of field. I found a point and pulled focus to create depth of field  in every shot.

For audio, I chose a slow and a bit sad piano royalty free music. I was trying to bring out the loneliness, sadness and the feeling of real through the scene. The music perfectly matched. when video finished, I made the audio go on for few more seconds with the black screen. I don’t know why, just feel like right.
