During the progression of exercise 3, we were given 45 minutes’ class time to go out the classroom and each of the group member need to shoot two 30-minute shot video each person without camera tracking. The footages were uploaded to media server, so that every student is able to use the footage.

As I was very inspired by the Music video I have mentioned in the early post, shoots in that music video were mainly tracking people’s foot, walking/running/wandering in different places of Seoul, Korea. It was a presentation or a recording of the daily life in the capital city of Korea.

I didn’t really have any ideas before I looked at the footages and started editing, there were few footages that were shot in a cold tone which is my favorite colour tone. Within these footages there were some tracking on feet crossing the road or busy with their daily life.

I started by editing these footages together, and I noticed the footages I have used at this point were shoots that pass a fresh and relaxing feeling to the audience. The intention to start with these shoots were aiming to show people’s idealistic life, I believe for sure while we are struggling to survive in our daily life, everyone wants to live in a no pressure environment and chill out everyday. So the beginning is showing people dreams to chill out without any stress, however, when the shoots changed very fast it was showing when we go to work, back to school etc. we force to pull ourselves back to reality. The last part of this film was to show people have pulled back to their original life, they need to work hard, study and surviving.
