Week 9 project development

I finished the second part shooting of my project. In this part I want to introduce the life of people in this city, basically emphasizing their actions, such as footstep, taking tram, getting up and so on.

I firstly filmed two people’s daily life routine. I want them to represent the every one who live in this city. As I planed, I filmed several simply situations about their every day morning life, such as they getting up, brushing teeth, drinking milk and coffee, cooking and going outside. Those situations are simple, but the key point is I should choose a good position of it. Because I will compare them with two screen in one shot, so the composition, the lighting, the size of the subject both are so significant, those things have to keep in same level. So in my filing process, I keep reviewing the shots I filmed when I shooting the similar one. However, I found the lighting problem is hard to avoid. For example, when I filming the shot that they get up in the morning, I found the light in the two people’s room is really different, it is so strange when I put them in one shot, so I did the color correction as soon as possible. Except those simple life situations, I also expand scope to shoot some outside scenes. I want emphasize people’s action in this city, how the live in this city and construct this city. So, I mainly used low angel to film people’s walking step, used wide shot to show they crossing road, taking tram, and go shopping.
