Contrast between the moving escalator and the quite platform in depth, but both are so empty.

The empty train passing by and went into the dark night.

The video is shot in eye level view to draw the audiences in. It is in a static state while the MTR passing by accelerates and decelerates closely in front of the lens, making a contemplative scene, peaceful yet lonely. Audiences will look into the interior of the MTR from the platform, normality of the daily commute scene is shown, however, it shifts to an abnormal empty space in the MTR at the end which is strange and a bit creepy. The emptiness in the train shows the reluctance of leaving one’s living space to the public in a weekend’s evening.

What is the reason for the shaky camera and the black and white videography in video 1? What is your intention for the zooming in and out in video 3? Good cropping and composition of the frame in video 5. There seems to be an attempt to consider the 5 videos as a series. If so, what 1 main aspect will you modify? The narrative sequence, colors, sounds or camera positions?
