After the refinement from “M4A3 – Refinement”, I figured my theme for Task 4 (M4A4) will be “To further explore the difference between humanity and nature” and/or “Have we really separated ourself from nature”. This is a continuation from the questions from Task 2 (M4A2) where the focus was mostly on visual elements, to answer these 2 new questions, I will explore the matter not only by increasing the speed but rather slowing. As for the video I used for the quote on quote pitching, it’s in the recent post “M4A3 – Refinement”
The slowing portion will work in a very different way as oppose to fastening. This can be explained by numbers, lets say the speed of humanity is 10 meanwhile nature is 2, the effect of time-laps is 2x and slow-mo is 0.5x. The result is very simple as below.
Humanity (Time-laps): 10 x 2 = 20
Humanity (Slow-mo): 10 x 0.5 = 5
Humanity (Difference): 20 – 5 = 15
Nature (Time-laps): 2 x 2 = 4
Nature (Slow-mo): 2 x 0.5 = 1
Nature (Difference): 4 – 1 = 3
As we can see from the (difference), Humanity reacts to a simple manipulation of speed much more than Nature do, the difference (In scale) between Humanity and Nature remains the same, while with the greater the magnifier the easier it is for the audience to notice the difference as seen in my pervious time-laps experiments. As for how I will get the slow-mo portion work, I’ll be using iPhone due to my camera isn’t made for slow-mo. Yes, you heard me right, an iPhone, incase you haven’t noticed already, there is a misconception of using “better” equipment, no matter how far the technologies have developed, if the content is meaningless, those fancy equipments are nothing more than a “burden to budgets” or “waste of resource”. The advantage the iPhone provides me is obviously the mobility and budget since I already own it (Which will otherwise be ridiculous).
With all those being said or written, to put it in a simpler form, my main focus in Task 4 will be “Difference between Humanity and Nature”
I took quite a bit of inspiration from a Taiwanese graphic novel (#childhood_memory #Still_own_a_copy_myself) “Turn Right, Turn Left” or “A Chance of Sunshine” (After translated to English) from Jimmy Liao. Where the novel talks about how people lives so close to each other in the city, meanwhile have minimal communication and the need of a chance encounter to start one. The novel often feature mysterious creatures in the background to creates a sense of mysteries surrounding the world, often time rabbits. Highly recommended!!!
