Reflective Analysis:
Our task was to create a short 2-minute film sequence using cinematic techniques from one of the films we have studied. We decided to use Chungking Express as our influence. We filmed all of it in less than 2 hours and editing the film only took 1 hour.
Things I like about the film are the way we tried to replicate
some of the shots/effects from Chungking Express, such as the ‘smudge’ motion
and lengthy duration of some shots. I believe we captured Wong’s style well in
the film.
I also like the choice of music we used; it is a 90’s hip-hop song, and fits the film very well. It is also similar to some of the songs used in Chungking Express.
One thing I do not like about the film is that we did not have a lot of time to film it - I would have liked more so we could think about the shots we used more. I would also have liked a better location to film in, as I had to use lots of color-correcting effects to add color. These add certain ‘cheapness’ to the film.

If I were to film this again I would make some changes. I would
have preferred to shoot with an SLR camera, instead of a handheld video camera.
That way we could get more professional looking shots, with depth-of-field. Overall
it is a very good video, considering the time we had and the parameters we had
to film within.
