Leave the only dark on the protagonist. Cover the protagonist with rough and solid cement texture that is related to his/her desperate mood. Leave the only light on the protagonist. The glass texture makes the scene transparent and easy to shoot from different angles. Images from Pinterest.
Please find 1-2 pictures / images to propose you idea about the scene and write a short 1-2 sentence description with your names: After wandering for more than four hours, the character finally feels a bit tired, arbitrarily sits down at a corner at 3:30am midnight. It was drizzling before, but all of the sudden giant water drops hit his/her head, body and face… He/she just stands still, letting the torrential rain pour all over.

I’m deeply obsessed by the beautiful shots and comfortable narrative rhythm. And my questions all have been answered by director Chen, especially the casting one.
I believe there is some influence in Cambodia local TV and film (which I am not familiar with unfortunately). May you introduce what elements or stylistic choices of those influence you? Thanks
I noticed that there are many scenes between the protagonists and the sceneries in Cambodia, in what extend does the surrounding influences the topic of genocide? and why do u choose love story to show the topic ?
I noticed that the rotating chimney appeared more than once in the film, what is the meaning of this? Liu Chang
When I look into this movie, I noticed that the unique Long Lenses you used are usually combines with people interaction. Why are you using these long lenses? I’m also wondering the space’s concept in your movie. I learnt from class that the space should be considered “dynamic”. However, It seems that the protagonist’s house happened so much things, which made it to be able to represent multiple emotions, or feeling of space. I wonder how you look at this room you created. Does this room, you created, have some relationship with the shot that one only bright glass window
I noticed that some of the scenes is blocked by objects, for example pillars and windows. What is the purpose of doing so? Thank You
I noticed there are different colors of light spots throughout the film, some of them even covered a half of the frame. Are they aimed to create a sense of ‘dream’? Also, may I ask why the background is set in Cambodia? Does this place imply anything related to the plot itself? Besides, I have watched a film focused on ‘dreams’ before. And how the director of that film created a sense of dream was through filters, like higher saturation of color and a blurring effect. Have you thought of those effects when making this film? Wang You
