Week11 development

Robin gave me some suggestion about my project. First one is the order of the shots. When I filming the scenery of Melbourne in each part, I have not considered the concrete sequence of those shots. I just tried to film the beautiful scenerys as many as possible. Then I changed the order of those shots depending on Robin’s suggestion. I found those shot became more meaningful and logical in a new sequence. For example, the unexpected shot which the man says, “ what’s that?” moved a little bit forward, so the meaning of it has been changed. This shots looks like an introduction of the content of first part.

Xiaochen recorded voiceover for the project, he slowly, softly talk about his internal idea about this city and his experience in this city. According to this voiceover, viewers may used a personal perspective of XIaochen to feel this city, it is really different.

The sound design is pretty hard to do in split screen film. As the suggestion from Robin, I layered different soundtrack together in some shot, also used fade in and fade out to make it natural. The environment sound, spot effect, music and voice-over should cooperate with each other. So I clearly observe every shots, and add the suitable sounds for it. I hope I did it in a good way.
