1. Camera is static on a view frame
Receiving information, as a daily usual.
2. Camera is moving forward [POV]
Meet the masked pedestrians along Waterloo Road.
3. Camera is static on life-objects [Full Shot]
With or without the virus, grassroots still get to work.
4. Camera is escalating while panning down [Wide Shot]
Arriving the Langham Place, with the unthrived empty restaurants.
5. Camera is static on machine motions [Wide Shot]
The mall with eight shoppers in 20 seconds.
Among all the clips above, I personally like No.3 the most.
As we are shutting ourselves from the daily commute to prevent infection of the coronavirus, we sometimes do not notice how does the city keeps on functioning for months in such an extreme time. There are actually a huge group of working class, ranges from catering to public transport, risking their lives to stay on their posts. The clip provides a full shot of a hardworking grassroot, trying to earn his way out of the extra virus expenses, at the same time provides a street view where masked pedestrians walk by, further emphasis the aftermath of having a neighbor virus outbreak. Including all the infrastructural contrasts, the picture delivered is very theatrical, hence being my favorite.

Appreciate your attempt in documenting your journey with different camera techniques. There is a consistent color tonality to the videos. The compositions of the videos are also great. Suggestions for video 4, a zoom camera technique might convey your idea better. To further improve, do consider the selection of your subject matter with a clear narrative.
