Bird eye’s
This image is taken from the rooftop of a building in North Point – the bird’s eye view angle enables the viewer to experience the bustling streets of Hong Kong.
Contrast
The bright lights illuminated throughout the bustling streets of Hong Kong contrasts greatly with the old, yet developed architecture around.
Sometimes, contrast is a technique that is blown out of proportion in post-production of images or film. Some may agree or disagree with this. However, I was quite inspired by Wong Kar Wai, where his Neo-Noir films have gone to show how bright life is actually in Hong Kong. From the view of the rooftop, I was able to witness the bustling streets, filled with lights, transport, and the tiny humans wandering around, getting their daily routine done, whilst being able to admire the various buildings surrounding these streets.
Crop
What’s capture is a building still under construction, with the aesthetically placed glass panels reflecting the skyline behind the camera.
First person view
A view that consists of both modern and old infrastructures, where most of them are presumably residential buildings.
Focus
A close-up neutral angle shot of an exhaust pipe as seen on the top of a roof.
Perspective
A low angle wide shot to illustrate the vast amounts of space on the roof that may not be seen with neutral shots.
Seriality
These images display modern technology being utilised on the rooftops, where most of them are utilised for internet access.
Skewed
This skewed angle shot displays another part of the roof, where a satellite dish can be seen. The various leading lines enable us to focus on the satellite dish.
View frame
The roof can be seen through the framed door, illustrating how little we can actually see when we do not utilise the full space of the roof, or when we do not utilise unique shots.
Wide angle
This wide angle shot enables us to view the state of the roof, how it has not been cared for, or assume its age, just from the colour and state of items within the shot.
Worm’s eye view
Here we can see another platform on the roof, which shows the numerous amounts of space that would be utilised on film.
Zoom
To take this shot, I had to zoom into a metal stick that was situated on the roof, that happened to capture a small portion of the view as seen from said roof.
