Field Homework 2: Bus stop, never stop

1. Stable Camera:

Life after the outbreak of the corona virus is like waiting for a bus at a bus stop. You will never know when will the hope come, neither when will things get better.

2.Moving Camera:

Everything seems to be unstable at this time. We are undergoing a never-ending unrest.

3.Slow Motion:

We see the hope come, but it’s slow and gradual. We are unsure whether the situation is better or not.

4.Framing:

The world is set behind a glass wall. Everything seems to be remote but close, real but illusory.

5.Special Location of Camera:

We are hiding behind ourselves, waiting for the bus to leave. It seems that our world become so lonely at the moment. Solitude froze our world.

Paragraph description: In this situation, everyone is facing a hard time. Health, life, work…all of the things seems to be remote from our life. We are staying in our own island, far away from the crowd. It feels like we are waiting at the bus stop, waiting for the hope to come. It is a long time waiting. We might not see the turning point at the moment, but it will sure to come. That’s why we keep waiting, no matter we hide behind ourselves or be isolated by the glass wall inside our hearts, hope always comes, though might be a bit late.

    Good attempt at testing the camera techniques. There is a consistent color tonality to the videos. It also appears that you are trying to experiment with composition (keep doing that!) Suggestion for improvement of the 5th video: The special location you describe is next to or behind a tree. What is special about this particular view, in comparison to the other views? Instead, consider the unexpected view from the perspective of, say, height of the camera. For example, what if that is the view of a homeless or a stray cat/dog and so it will be more a worm’s eye and/or skewed view. Or, perhaps it is hidden (inside a pocket or in a bag ) and so you can catch a glimpse of a zoom with the blur outlines of a frame or edge of the pocket or bag. Or perhaps the view from a bird perched on a tree above or from a window or balcony looking down at the bus stop, like a view of waiting for someone…
