DESCRIPTION

After hearing about the format of this project, I felt very scared because I had never made a long video before and I had never used PR software before. So when I did this project, I faced a huge challenge.

Fio’s fear is about insects. She thinks that insects are terrible and are a kind of creature that cannot be mastered. So at the beginning I wanted to make a video with some fun and some humor. I want to convey two concepts. One is that these insects are also afraid of humans, and the other is that we can control them.

In the letter she wrote that she was very afraid that bugs would enter her brain through his ears. So I made a small instrument which could be add on ears. This is how I imagined that when insects touch this instrument, they will transform from a three-dimensional creature to a two-dimensional creature. Because this instrument has some sense of technology and mysterious colors, I use iron wire, barbed wire, and film to make it. I mainly use cardboard for the ears. Because there are more materials and good plasticity. I used pipes to express the more important part of the ear holes. I want to make a cute and soft bug. At first I wanted to use cotton but I didn’t find the material, so I used a soft foam board to make it. His mass is also very light, like a very light little flying insect.

At the beginning of the shooting, I encountered some difficulties. I am not sure whether my expression is clear. But I also found vivid videos, which are also very interesting expressions. The most difficult part was editing. I had never had a PR before, so it took me a long time to learn how to use the basic operations. This caused my editing to be very slow although I tried my best to finish it. But I am still happy that I have completed this video, because it means I have learned a new skill. But my editing skills still need to be improved, and I still need some time to master this complex software.
