The series Playground Nostalgia centers around a young girl who reminisces the days she could freely roam around the playground without virus fears.
| Panning & Framing Shot |
We are introduced to a young girl who stares out the window to her favorite playground.
| Slow panning POV Shot |
We see the playground from the young girl’s perspective, as the camera follows where her eyes trace.
| Handheld Tracking Shot |
The young girl daydreams about the virus-free days she would run around the playground with her friend, and the instability of the handheld tracking shot allows a more realistic feel as the kids run around.
| Static Camera & Dynamic Subjects |
She continues to reminisce about the days she would hang out with her friend at the playground.
| Rack Focus |
After daydreaming for a while, the girl comes back to the sad reality of having to be stuck at home with her mask on. The rack focus shows a clear transition from one subject to another, in this case, from the playground(daydreaming of the past) to the young girl’s face(reality), which allows a smooth yet impactful contrast.

Appreciate the clear storyline that you are conveying through this collection. At the moment, the videos need some brush up to achieve your continuous narrative. Suggestions would be to jump-cut interior and exterior clips together to better convey the sense of longing. Applying different tones to the dreamt part of the video would also heighten the contrast and better convey the emotions. However, you have great sense of compositions and applied the filming techniques adequately. Particularly, in the first and last clip, the scenes are beautifully constructed. For your final project, do continue this sensibility and test on editing techniques. Placing some music into your collection is also a great idea. Lastly, could you help us in identifying the exact location where these videos were shot?
