colour&lighting




I took this photo on New Year Eve at London Bridge. I used the Canon EOS 5D camera. It is fantastic photo!













I took these two photos in Plymouth last week. I did little change of the colour. The light is like star twinkling in the night.

















































The theme of colour and lighting is amusement park. Some of these pictures were photoed in HongKong this X'mas and others in UK. I changed the colour and contrast with Photoshop.
I was interested in the Graffiti and the Laser from last week. I knew Graffiti long time ago but I wasn't inteseted in it at that time. I have watched a lot the whole week and I asked some of my friends who love Graffiti in China. I told them to take some photos of their Graffiti in China.
Banksy has many Graffiti in UK and I have seen one in London. The Graffiti of Banksy always have some deep meaning. I enjoy his pinting very well.
I want to take some photo about graffiti on the street. I'm lovn't!!

Far from Heaven...Party Scene

The content of the scene can be divided to two parts. The first part is the party and the other is the story between Cathy and Frank after the party.
The content of the first scene is many friends of Cathy and Frank are having a party at Cathy’s home. They are talking and drinking. Before this party, Cathy found her husband Frank is homosexual and Cathy and her gardener went to the gallery exhibition together. Some of her close friends know these things and worry about her. On the party, Cathy still has a happy and sweet family in other people’s eyes. However, it is struggle in Cathy’s heart because she can not say anything about her husband to others and she should make her family seems like a heaven at the same time.
This film is not only mention the homosexuality but also mention the racial discrimination. This sequence includes them. On the party, some of Cathy’s friends are talking about they saw her with her gardener Raymond show at the gallery exhibition few days before and some of them even blame her. After party, Frank feel sorry to Cathy but when he kissing her he can not find the same feeling like before and even attack her.

I think our friendship has become stronger and so have us become closer during the past one year,rite? Despite of the fact that we've been talkin on the phone more often, I guess its also because that we are all growing up and starting to understand the real meaning of FRIENDSHIP......We are aware that keeping our friends around us is one of the happiest things in the world***
Altho we've known each other since 12/13,we dont get to see each other very often at all...in fact its only been summer holidays during the past 4 yrs......I believe that the friendship between us two will ALWAYS last till the day we die cuz we are TRUE FRIENDS who treasure each other ! (**keke)

friendship in china!

Though we don't see each other very much
nor do we write to each other very much
nor do we phone each other very much
I always know that, at any time
I could call, write or see you and everything would be exactly the same
You would understand everything I am saying
and everything that
I am thinking
Our friendship does not dependon being together
It is deeper than that
Our closeness is something inside of us
that is always thereready to be shared with each other
whenever the need arises
It is such a comfortable and warm feeling
to know that
we have such a lifetime
friendship

Editing

Editing

The link among these shots is smooth and smart that it uses the dissolve effect. For example, the first shot changes to the senior woman talking to Cathy using the dissolve. We heard the voice of the senior woman and then watch her face slowly through the dissolve effect. Most parts of this sequence use dissolve. The effect makes audiences some sense because people have enough time to thought when things happened.
Most parts of this sequence flow smoothly and the rhythm makes people feeling comfortable at the party time. But, the rhythm is changing when only Cathy and Frank in the big dinning room after the party. The rate of change becomes fast and intense when Cathy and Frank are kissing then slow down after Frank attack Cathy.
The sequence also follows the conventions of continuity editing very well. During the party, most of shots is connect with Cathy helping friends take the empty glasses. The continuity between two shots is Cathy walking through the dinning-room with empty cups so that audiences can not feel the stop among these shot.
The relation between sounds and images complement each other. The sounds and the images are match. The party time is warm and images are bright and sweet. Then, the sound becomes deep and images become dark and cold. The tone changes, the sound and images also change. Put the sound, the image and the color together can be montage.

Shooting

Shooting:
This sequence includes 5 single shot and it can be divided into two parts: party part and after party. The close-up is distinctive for closing to someone but there are also people around his/her. Besides, the close-up always use with high angle or low angle. For example, Cathy and her friends are talking, a man on the stairs and other people around him raising their heads look at him. It is partly seems like point-of-view shot.
The shot style of this sequence makes a obvious contrast. In the party part, we can always see people in the frame and the lighting is soft so that the whole scene is bright. However, only Cathy and Frank in the dinning room, the whole room is dark and quiet.
The shots favor the point of view of Cathy and the camera is almost following Cathy in this sequence. Cathy, wearing a beautiful vintage wine red skirt, is hostess of the party. Cathy is in the frame all the time of this sequence.
Most the sound is smooth and harmonious in this sequence. At the first part, the music is warm and elegant but then changes to cold and depressing especially the sound become low and deep after Frank attacking Cathy.

Abt my Birthday!

I love you as my closest, dearest friend.
Boys and girls can be just closest friends.
There is no passion greater than the one that touches not the body but the heart.
You mean much more to me than someone who I date and undate, want and then don't want.
They're the waves, and you are like a shore where I can sit and watch them kiss the sand.
I'm sorry I can't be with you today,When you should rule by virtue of your birth.
Please accept this tribute of mere words,Poor substitute for all I am and have.
