Reflection and New Challenges

 Reflection:      This film initially accomplishes a combination of personal narrative and documentary. Through testing from perspective transitions, camera angles, colors and narration I found that it was possible to combine two different film styles without compromising the authenticity of the documentary. In my tests I found that the color transitions were one of the most difficult parts. In Oppenheimer, the director switched perspectives by shifting between color and black-and-white. But in my film I couldn't use black-and-white to portray one perspective. The difference in color is not as big as the difference in black and white in the future production, I will add more white mist filter to achieve the difference in the texture of the images. Highlighting the difference between the personal narrative part of the movie and the documentary part of the picture. I can say that this test was successful. I also found 2 new challenges through this shooting, which is ...

Ken Dancyger also mentions in his book that the coherence and authenticity of non-linear storytelling can be ensured through well-crafted structuring.  He suggests that by organically integrating elements such as events, locations, and time, the narrativ...

Week 1：Concept Video

Image
  Concept Plan: My concept revolves around the feeling of regret, particularly the regrets associated with love. The lyrics from the song 'Shepherd of Koktokay' convey the sentiment beautifully: 'No one can sing a song as touching as yours, and there is no other beautiful girl who I will remember so vividly.' The meeting and understanding, yet not being able to stay together, is what brings the most poignant sorrow in love. Therefore, in my film, I will use a combination of reverse chronology and overlaying with gradual fading to depict the regrets within a love story. Concept Video:《Regret In Love》 https://youtu.be/6M8pikxl9Ug?si=MtnU77CykkqIhOws Production Form: Categories: narrative 2.
