field trip 2 / trams

Tracking shot of the Bank of China Tower; another tram passes by on the neighboring track

The five videos chosen for this task all portray the passing tram from a distance, never directly focusing on the subject matter from a close proximity. The trams travel in parallel tracks and always remain fixed in their pattern, yet in these clips I have chosen to focus on the brief moments when they pass by on another. This video in particular frames the street in a unique fashion, focusing on the mirror image rather than the actual passing tram and street view in order to emphasise the fleeting nature of the moving vehicle.
