Today was the first day of actual editing of the footage with all group members present, so it was a much more successful lesson in terms of progressing in our film and the development of our ideas. We split into two, so that Harry and I focused on coming up with visuals for the film, whilst Zoe and Jade focused on editing the footage.
At first, Harry and I had interpreted "visuals" slightly incorrectly, and were looking only for pictures and then Ms Wong reminded us that visuals could also include media such as YouTube clips. In my previous research, I had already found many youtube clips that would be suitable for this project. I immediately went onto those clips to find some suitable footage relevant to the built environment and fashion in Hong Kong. Harry and I took screenshots of particular sections of the videos we found interesting which you can see on my post named VISUALS. Although all you can see in the post is pictures, in the actual film, we would want to include the actual footage.
Whilst looking at all of these other people's media, we started to come up with ideas of our own that we could go out and capture on film that were relevant to what our interviewees mentioned in their interviews. For example, we thought about how we could go to an actual Kate Spade shop ourselves, and film the shop and the types of people going into it. We could also get footage of the harbour reclamation in Central for another one of our interviews.
I particularly enjoyed today's lesson, especially in comparison to the last because I really enjoy learning about Hong Kong history and so looking at pictures and videos of Hong Kong in the 1930s was more of a reward for me than work. I think that today was a successful lesson because we came up with many productive ideas that could greatly enhance our film and we are definitely heading in the right direction in terms of getting a nice balance of visuals and the footage of the interviews into our films.
