Part I:
1. Camera is static, subject/s is/are dynamic
This is a normal weekend,but much fewer people appear in this MTR compare to three months ago. People deliberately keeping a distance with one another.
3. Isolation/differentiation of speeds
The speed of people entering and leaving the MTR is edited in order to show the contrast that people want to leave crowed spaces as soon as possible and hesitation before stepping into the MTR.
5. Framing
Looking at the scenery outside the window of MTR,a nice weather,but still,I dare not go anywhere except my home.
6. Cropping
By cropping a girl browsing news about the virus on the Internet,the city is still full of fear and tension towards this scary disease.
8. Slow-motion
An empty MTR is approaching…but I am still worrying about the risk of taking public transportation at this moment…
Part II:
8.Slow motion
In this video,I want to reflect a change in people’s mindset at this special moment and tension.In the past,when we saw an empty MTR station,we felt comfortable because we could be able to get a seat.However,due to the crisis of virus nowadays,even I see a seat on MTR,I will not sit on it because the first thing come up in my mind is that closer and more often contact with others,higher risk of getting infected.The moment of slowing down the approaching MTR,I firmly believe most of the other passengers are having the same worries with me.

Some good experiments used here with different techniques to contemplate a MTR journey, specifically your play in video speed and color tone. Love your way of modifying the speed of the video in “3. Isolation” and “8.Slow-motion.”
Further, the color choice and slow-motion technique you applied to the last video successfully conveys the anxiety that you are mentioning. A suggestion of the videos would be trying to shoot all the videos with the same frame rate and avoid cropping. It enables you to consider the composition of a frame better.
