Last Friday, Liz, Yan Yan, and I went out together to shoot video for a communication lab assignment. Although we had a video script and concept before shooting, it was too loose and vague to follow it step by step.
Regarding this film, I tried to explore and visualize the association processes of human brain. For example, if someone sees the word “red” in a newspaper, then s/he imagines a red color and sometimes connects it to other objects, such as a girl wearing a red sweater or an apple. Objects in this linkage may be amazingly various: written word, spoken word, melody, smell, touch, color, movement, changing, scenery and abstractive concept.
We carried a camcorder, a microphone, two lights, and a tripod. Even though the first place in our plan was a park, we rode the wrong train and ended up in Chinatown. However, we decided to shoot there because we don’t need to shoot in specific place as long as shooting remains the main concept.
Despite our trying to follow the main theme, it was quite difficult to find good objects as well as linkages because of the extremely crowded conditions and sudden cold. Although we literally failed to track our initial script, I think that, ironically, the results reflected our free association process.
In addition, we didn’t divide tasks amongst each other, such as director, cameraman or actor. In spite of the fact that it was somehow confusing while shooting as well as thinking next shot, it was a good chance to perform each part.
The next step is editing, wherein I will try to express my initial concept.
