My Method of Working Part 11

Have watched Wong’s film ‘ChungKing Express’, at the beginning of this cinema, Wong used lots of tracking, with lots of different angles cover the scene. The first time I watched this scene, I feel dizzy because of each cut was too fast and the shot shake too fast. This opening sequence employs an unusual stutter-step effect, most likely achieved by removing every second frame—or even every second and third frame—and duplicating the others.

In my own scene, I wanna created a shot that people come out and in the lift, I was thinking i wanted shot it in different angles, first, only focus on their walking, second, MS when they come out, just using two or three extras creates a fast movement that people passing through lift, which need edit like in Wong’s ChungKing Express, duplicating. Then makes duration faster.

Or, Wong uses fixed shot a lot, that what i want to try, not changing camera position, focus, only the actor moving.
