post along the film poem

The theme I chose was finding myself in London, I used the form of a film poem to express the changes that have taken place in me since I came to London for four months and started living alone. I wanted to use images to express some of the changes in me. For me, the process of finding myself in London is like a big adventure in which I enter into the game.

For the frame of the video, I thought about the different angles and camera movements that my teacher taught me in the workshop before I shot the video, and I purposely tried to change the composition of the image. The style of the whole video is divided into two parts, the first half is about my pain and struggle during the observer stage, so the color tone used in the first half is relatively dim, while in the second half, I gradually find myself in London, and become a participant, so the color tone gradually becomes brighter and brighter. The sound is mainly vocals and background music. There are not many original sounds in the video, such as the sound of water running and a lighter going off, but I kept them because I thought they were more appropriate for the theme I chose. Some of the video clips I shot were recorded by myself with a camera in my daily life, not exactly for the purpose of completing this project, because I think these ordinary clips witnessed the process of me finding myself. Editing is an area where I think I am relatively weak, one is that I don’t anticipate the scripts of the editing process beforehand, and the other is that I am not very comprehensive in the use of the editing software, and I am stuck in the use of the basic functions.

I think the most successful part of the video is that I represent my mindset by controlling the amount of water flowing through the water pipe. The first part of the water pipe drips drop by drop, which means that at the beginning I was in the state of confusion and anxiety; the middle part of the video, where the water flow becomes bigger, means that I gradually found myself in London, and everything started to go well; at the end of the video, I turn off the water pipe, which means that I’ve been on a path of growth and searching for myself, and that I’m using the water pipe to grow and find myself, and I don’t stop! The video ends with me turning off the hose meaning that I’m always on the path of growth and finding myself, with no stopping. After this project, I would like to try to make some microfilms, I would like to try to shoot them through scripts, this is a project I have always wanted to do but haven’t finished yet.
