UNTIME 提案

The film itself is not about telling a story; it is more of an experience, to show the audience that the world and time we are in can be viewed in a different. So that the viewer could can out a unique understanding of the film. The style of the film will be coloured and colour graded. I wanted to show the real world that we can relate to, the atmosphere of the movie is set to warm and energetic. Establishing a wide-angle shot that shows the place on a broader scale and then slowly zooms into a specific area. This technique repeats at the start of each location. Film will start with the title which in this film called “TIME”, the opening will last about 5 seconds then fade-out to the next scene. As the title fade-out, I bring the locations in, one by one, give each location around 5 second to lead the audience, here is the place that the fun things are going to happen. There will be no more than 5 locations in the final production, so after introducing all locations which less than 25 seconds the movement in the film will slow down and eventually stopped. After a second or so, the film started to reverse. Reverse to the first location, camera showing a wild top angle looking downward to the city for 5 seconds. Then the camera jump cuts to the next location where I’m implementing hyperlapse while I’m walking down the queen street, this shot will remain for 5 to 8 seconds. Next, I apply Dolly zoom for several wild angle scenes such as Aotea Square, sky tower, and AUT campus. Also, I’ll be controlling the shutter speed to manipulate a certain emotion, such as faster shutter for morning scenes to enhance the busyness of the city and creates a crystal clear, sharp motionless image, or slow the shutter creates a smoother dreamy sensation with more motion blur. In the last scene, the film will again slow down and stop for a second, then the movie playback normally, with a jump cut to a quiet coast with fewer people and screen slowly turns black, then the credit rolls for around 10 seconds and slowly turns back screen. In the editorial, music will guide the cuts, I am using the rhythm of the music to help ease out the cuts, make them less noticeable and awkward. In addition, combined with some ambient sound to create depth. The film does not focus on telling a clear, understandable story; instead, it will try to communicate via moving imagery and gives the audience a sensory sensation, along with that, hopefully brings a different perspective and thinking to time.
