Week12, new shooting

To be honest, the third part of my film is the most difficult one, because there are concrete plots in this part. I want to use split screen to instead of frequent cutting in drama, and ensure that viewer won’t feel confused about it. Because it is complicated and I do not have enough time, so I only filmed three scenes. First one is Xiaochen arrived in Melbourne. He dragging his luggage and walking in the street. I want to show his action in details. So I used one low angel close up for his foot and luggage, one close up for his hand, one wide shot showing he walking on the street and curiously looking around. The second scene is that he takes a bus, and looking outside, this is the first time he see the appearance of this city. In order to achieve this script, I purposely took my friend’s car, and hand held the camera to shoot outside street in driving process. The third scene shows how Xaiochen practice his English in daily life. I chosen one place have a best view in our apartment. And use several shots to show he reading English with different posture around this place in different perspectives. I hope it is able to emphasize the time he used in this thing is pretty long through this design.

In addition, I make those shots in this part slowly changing from black white to color one, because this is the memory of Xiaochen, so I think maybe this design is suitable.
