[MOOD BOARD] Filter

  The mood board is basically the subject I would like to present in my video. With the rapid development of network spreading, communication and transmission of information become more convenient in an unprecedentedly efficient manner. People can instantly receive real-time reports about the pandemic. However, it also poses a danger to the general populace as the cost of spreading rumours for individuals seems to be nothing during such a period of panic. Meanwhile, social media platforms pour fuel to the flames by mongering fear and hatred, giving rise to confrontation.   Chan Ue Yin Monique 3035691729

[Mood Board] High-tech city

In the past, people need to use about three months to discover SARS is a coronavirus. Today, scientists only spend three days to find out the DNA sequence of the COVID-19. It shows that our technology grows exponentially. I believe that people already need not to wear a mask outside in 2021, because the vaccines are probably invented and used to save people.

Although first cases have been reported in November of 2019, we have yet to see it’s full extent in spreading worldwide faster than ever. While the West seemed to have been heavily critical of China’s ability in contain the virus, they too have bot been able to slow down the outbreak in their countries, truly showing no country seems prepared against this pandemic. Should we put the focus towards why it happened, who is to be

[Mood Board] Relationships

The break out of the coronavirus forces people to live in a different way- home-office, online shopping, no-social activities, etc. This significant change restricts people’s movements, as everyone cannot even walk out or gather with friends and family. We may be able to stay with parents, but conflicts between generations happen more frequently. We cannot hang out with friends but playing with the phone, so the relationships between friends and colleagues are distant. So, what will happen to an individual’s relationships? Stemming from the aspects of relations between people during such a unique situation, I will create a documentary describing

Workshop 2: Interviewing Miggy Cheng

Question (Casey): The selection of texture, pattern, and palette is often regarded as a supplementary offset of the architecture or environment in the settings… Response (Miggy): Arghhh… not really… it may have been perceived as a secondary complementary, but that’s interesting, what makes you think that? Question (continued): Oh, cause I’ve noticed you mentioned in your presentation that the colorway, or saturation of the costumes should always merge with the background of the set in order to convey a sense of visual harmony and conformity to the audience.
