【Recording Place】#6

For our group’s PB3 work. We will focus on the Mr.Huang who is a man with an indomitable spirit. At the age of 76, he can be found with a cigarette on his lip and a pallet of produce in his wiry grasp. Originally from Guangdong, Mr. Huang takes us through a day in the life of one who is beginning to feel the weight of his years.

The film opens in the early of Melbourne’s inner-city, capturing the brief calm moments before the chaos. We see the sleeping giant rouse itself as stall after stall opens. A Pre-lab of Mr. Huang proudly introducing us to his wares ease us into the place of the market. He introduces us to his co-workers, one of which offers a commentary on Mr. Huang. We then see him sitting at home, responding to the comments made by a co-worker which have been rephrased as a question.

 

He starts to talk about his past, and how he first arrived in Australia. This is done over b-roll of early photos of him and his family as they grow up. He indicates the people in the picture by name, also pointing out where they currently are.

We segue by way of the aforementioned introductions to another co-worker, this time a younger family member, who explains the issues the family faces. They also begin to talk about Mr. Huang and introduce CONFLICT. CONFLICT is brought up with Mr. Huang, who explains the origin of the CONFLICT as well as how the CONFLICT worked out if it did.
