understand? please comment too! =D
Eventually, after consultant and my own internal debate, i have decided to choose story 2: Love in the rain.
The first story in the following areas:
- last two pictures are unable to convey the idea of the boy is not angry (via the facial expression) instead, he is sucking on a sour sweet. (reason for his facial expression)
- the male actor's acting skills not so splendid. (though he fork out his time to help me, but you can't deny that his facial expressions are not good rite? haha! thanks anyway)
Though the story doesnt have a twist, i hope that the story is able to convey emotions, in this case, the subtle love between a couple.
Sometimes, it's the little things one do for another that keeps the relationship going.
when i was brainstorming for the visual story, i was raining, so i thought that maybe i can make use of the unpredictable weather to create a story that includes natural elements. then one of my model gave me this idea. as u see, she's currently in a relationship.. sooo ya.. plenty of sweet ideas! haha!
The pictures are taken during the time when the rain is still drizzling. My models have to undergo the torture of running in the rain! really appreciate their help!
Some comments during the tutorial:
- the mobile held in hand could not be seen.
- bag disappear along the way (twist can be created here)
