Reflection of Assessment——Ashley

Jennie and I worked together on this assessment, where I was responsible for the script conception and shooting. We shot a story this time about finding ourselves in London, which is also the sum total of the stories that both of us have experienced. I like Chinese traditional culture very much, and I have always hoped to combine Chinese culture with British culture to shoot a cultural fusion work, so one of our shooting scenes was in the Chinese exhibition area of the British Museum. First of all, in the film, I used a lot of long shots and slow shots, slowly following the protagonist in the story to create a sense of immersion and emotional tension, and at the same time to explain the story background. In addition, I did not deliberately light in the shooting process, but used a lot of natural light to reflect the gloomy weather in London, and the contrast of light and shade strengthened the level of the picture. Most importantly, after discussion, we decided not to show our faces during the filming, because it could mean that the girl in the video is emblematic of every girl coming to London for the first time. I actually wanted to try a Hitchcock zoom lens, but I could never get it right, and it didn’t really suit our soft narrative style. Through the shooting of this film, I found that I enjoy shooting even more. – I am excited and happy to think that I can bring the shooting techniques I have learned to the picture in my mind. In fact, this is my first attempt to shoot a complete film work, and many details are particularly naive, but in the future, I still hope that I can try more new shooting methods, continue to learn shooting, and shoot more meaningful works.
