“As a director of photography, I am aware of the cinematography of the works shown.
They like to emphasize the overall interactions between the characters and the surrounding and a steady shot with little movement could take a fairly long time. Also, I can see the difference of academic side between Hong Kong and other places. As I am going to become one of the students in university, I can only have a sigh with grief for those who are talented but not be able to have the learning environment they deserved. Last but not least, the attitude and appreciation of the audience. A sad fact I learnt is that sometimes it’s not the filmmaker but the place and culture who make the whole thing bad. If the education doesn’t change, it’ll just keep on decaying. ”
