My objective is to show moments of the MTR door in five different perspectives. The door, at the same time, is also a representation of the routine that people encounter every day. By demonstrating such function of doors, we might travel in acceleration and pass by those “boundaries” in between the social interactions with other strangers.
The first video sets on the parallel elevation of MTR station. There is a contrast between the monotone speed of the train and the doors in motion.
I also use the interior and exterior filming to have a holistic idea about the views on two sides of the door.
The second one I apply multiple techniques to make it interesting. The perspective allows the station a diminishing point and thus revealing the depth and width of the station. The dark light contrasts the busy while the boring atmosphere in the station. Using the frames and rotation I can easily rearrange the perceptual space and give the audience a new point of view built upon layers. On the other hand, by differentiation and recombination of time clips, I may create the “replay” effects on the passing-by crowds and furthermore illustrating the machine-nature of doors.
Space is filmed in a rest frame to present the pure physical void of doors and door frames. I use some filters to highlight the brightness of color and so to create a new perception based on the regular space stereotype.
The video consists of discrete pictures flowing in a continuous manner so we have certain gaps in between the motions. It helps fragment time and space.
I use features to illustrate a typical journey we have in MTR train, through the doors, in moving frames.

You have an interesting topic and some good techniques to emphasize your point. However, I think there are a lot of element within each of your clips, and the viewers might be easily distracted. I especially like the scenes of Choi Hong Station from across the platform, where the dark doors frames the platform and conveys a very strong sense of boundary as if we are viewing a framed video.
