Background survey:
Questionnaire interviews with people (of different ages and backgrounds) who were also under quarantine from the epidemic about their mental state
(A total of 40+ responses were received about their feelings )
Brainstorming:
The key words received in the previous questionnaire survey were extracted, and combined with the art form conceived by the brainstorming, the following different creative forms were attempted:
1. C4D modeling
2. Performance art
3. Short video
Finally decided to use a combination of physical photography, AE special effects, and the use of digital art film format.
(This can break through the closed policy during the epidemic, more communicative)
Isolation film thinking processing:
Isolation film key elements:
I. The process of information explosion and gradual isolation in the early stages
(The process used a lot of elements of being surrounded and hiding. This is to express the psychological state of the people who were unaware of the sudden outbreak of the epidemic and frantic to escape)
2. the frantic struggle and break out of the bundle in the middle of the epidemic
(A lot of elements of breaking out of bondage and struggling to escape are used to express the people's desperate desire to break out of
confinement and struggle to escape after being quarantined for a long time in the middle of the epidemic)
3. The numbness and compromise after the long-term isolation in the late epidemic
(Using the metaphor of a goldfish living in a fish tank, we express that the mental and living conditions of people in the late stage of the epidemic are similar to those of goldfish living in a "closed" space. They just survive in a numb and compromised way...)
