1.Light rails are working as usual, yet it seems that something unusual is happening…
2. Number of people on the platform never decrease, cannot avoid walking between people
3. The train comes as it did for years, yet from drivers to passengers, all wearing a mask
4. Hustling and bustling, can we look selectively and pretend our city is healthy?
This video is a combination of 2 parts, filming the heads and the legs of the passengers respectively. Both only cropping part of the passengers’ body, emphasizing the mask and the bustling of the city under contagion to establish a contrast between abnormality and normality. The face masks represent the abnormality, that people are trying to protect themselves from the virus. However, people are going out like what they did before the coronavirus in the weekend, a similar scene could be taken before the outbreak of disease. As the infected number is increasing in Hong Kong, this normality is even more abnormal and absurd.

Appreciate your attempts in using different filming techniques and video editing to contemplate the experience of taking mass transportation during the pandemic. Specifically, the consistent tonality and modification of video speed of the collection give the audience a sense of horror and anxiety. It also appears that you have thought about the relationship between each of the videos so there is a sense of narration from one to the other. Good Job.
