Artist Statement

This is the second part of my three video project. While the first video narrates the self made decision of an uncontrollable outcome, the second video narrates the self made decision of hiding an uncontrollable part of oneself.

Aside from being the second part of the series, I decided to film this in a different way.

For this part, my actors had no idea what I was trying to film or what it was about. Simply, there was no script, and all I told them was that I was going to film them catching up and discussing about lunch, them having lunch, and them shopping for a pair of pants. I then took the clips and stitch them together such that it narrates my story of a female romantic couple on a date, who are trying not to be open about it.

By doing so, I wanted to see how much of this “romance” I could stage, as well as to layer it with the idea that they were trying to hide it.

 

PS, colour correcting is a pain in the ass and I’m still trying. No hate. Thanks.
