There is something beautiful in the color of dusk here. Appreciate your reflection on Central and commentary on the architectural symbol of memory in the final video through the use of montage in video 5. Could Videos 3 and 4 be similar if they were shot before the current pandemic? What clues are there here that tell the viewer that we are in the midst of the pandemic?
I think so, 3 and 4 are not descriptive and apparent enough for the viewer to understand the ideas behind. I was going to express the pressure of workers under the pandemic, it is a paradoxical moment for the economic downturn, still, people are required to work for supporting the economy. Yes, you are right that the video is portrait normally, to show how people’s acting is influenced by both the pandemic and capitalist of serfdom. But it turns out not really successful as the diffusion of too many disorganized crowds and miniature character in the bus failure in showing their ways of acting.
