[Field-Homework 3] The Death of Urban Walkers

Storyboard: https://app.conceptboard.com/board/4pix-dt7t-q66z-aysg-gci2

Synopsis:
The corona virus has escalated fear and panic within the community. Many of those who are physically and mentally disabled suffer from trauma when they go beyond their homes. Ever since the outbreak of the virus, the romance of urban walkers and the conviviality of interactions have slowly disappeared from our vision, perhaps we have come to the “death of urban walkers”. Adding on from the idea of melancholy in fieldwork 2, my documentary looks at an imaginary protagonist who have suffered from anxiety and how he faces the fear of crowdedness and monotony of masked individuals on the footbridge.

    The storyboard is well-positioned and shows clearly what the documentary is tackling. The consideration of the corresponding techniques and the overall mood is also evident. The individual frames are considered together with the relevant camera techniques, lighting, and effects. Great job. We are looking forward to see your final video.
