Description: (video 3)

The grass is moving in the wind from beginning to end in the video clip and the camera gradually approaches as well as focuses on the grass. At usual times, a bunch of kids are grouped into teams, playing soccer on the field. No one watching nearby will pay attention to the moving grass. However, when those soccer players have to stay at home as all classes are suspended, waving grass becomes the one that’s eye-catching. Such shifting of the “main character” on the field is a reflection of numbers of changes occurred since the virus outbreak. An absence of people in the video also implies the general fear of going out and getting infected.

    Appreciate the attempt at experimenting with camera techniques, however, the range you have shown here is still quite limited. There are numerous resources online on YouTube that would be helpful references in refreshing your understanding of techniques, composition, tonality, etc. interesting concept of shooting at night for video 5 though. It would be even better if the quality was higher. It is important to keep consistency across your videos, which are currently a mix of vertical and horizontal orientations.

    Also, what is your response to the question of urban infrastructure? Do you see the apartment as an urban infrastructure? If so, do articulate this in your text description or in the way your video presents it. Lastly, could you help us in identifying the exact location where these videos were shot?
