One.
Filmed in black and white, this video pans from an otherwise ordinary shot of a tram in transit to a crowd of people halting its path.
Two.
By employing the use of bird’s eye, I was able to frame the shot using the entrance doors to the tram. This video follows a passenger walking through the doors in just a sliver of the frame. As the tram passes through a road, we can see the yellow-box junction reflected on the tram’s surface, creating a symmetrical pattern of the crosses. As the video comes to an end, we can see the tram decreasing its speed as it approaches the oncoming traffic lights. By using this technique, I was able to film this video using an unusual angle to present a visually appealing piece of Hong Kong roads.
Three.
In this video, the camera was static, focusing on three separate trams sped-up en route, each following a different track.
Four.
Numerous people walking on a tram track.
Five.
Eliminating any negative space, this video follows the dense and vibrant buildings of Hong Kong, as it can be seen from a tram’s view.

Strong and consistent series of videos using 1-5 and they are presented in a subtle ways. Wonderful angles especially 2 and 3. The concept of the mirrored image can certainly be elaborated more and longer at different angles / parts of the tramline. 5 is a little hard to get without reading the captions.
Good authentic sound record from the site.
