the 20 second preview

DISCLAIMER:

The 20s preview is just a preview so i didn’t use tripods so my hands are shaking like crazy because i didn’t have a tripod in hall. but i just wanted to test out the concept.

Also i left the audio as is because it contributes to the setting. if that makes sense.

For the film, I planned out 2 versions: one is based on 老师’s suggestion and one is mine (because I’m still deciding which one to do).

differences

the circled versions are the different clips of the same scene, each made for either v1 or v2. but the overall concept only differs in terms of the colour editing.

So essentially, this film is about using colour psych to depict how a person takes on the day.

my original idea: depict the person’s day and their mood changes throughout by adjusting the clip’s colour accordingly. it also can show how some things that make other people feel (a negative emotion) can make another feel (a positive emotion).

other version: make everything desaturated and nua-y to show that the person is feeling very sian throughout the whole day no matter what they do.

the reason why i’m undecided isn’t because i have no feels for it, or i’m unsure of my idea, but because both are feasible and adhere to the overarching idea so i’m not sure which one to choose.

editing

Here i’ve adjusted the aspect ratio slightly to give it a more film-y look, and also because to me this film feels a bit like a documentary of how different people compute different emotions for differing or similar scenarios.

changes

So this is a scene where the person is studying. this could also be left colourful to show that while people may find studying a chore, not everyone does (but in this 20s preview i desaturated this clip for both versions just because). as you can see, the change in colour really affects the mood of the clip from regular monotony to melancholic after tweaking stuff here and there.

that’s it for the process. not too much of the fancy editing, but just basics are changed for the full effect to be there. i’m thinking of doing about 10s of 10 scenes (since it’s 1min 30s = 90s minimum and I think any longer per clip and it’ll be very mundane and draggy) but that all depends on the scenes i can possibly do.
