Voices: Hong Kong in Canada
(logline)
|
For months, the protests in Hong Kong have been escalating, with no sign of it stopping anytime soon. People are putting their lives at risk to fight for their freedom. Meanwhile in Toronto Ontario, miles away from the fight, people have been finding their own ways to show their support to the cause. Our documentary aims to showcase several different perspectives, all contributing to one common goal. We interview students, artists, real estate agents, researchers and activists, attempting to gain insight into the importance this fight for democracy brings, not only for Hong Kong, but for Canada, and the wider international community.

Visual Approach
Our visual approach will follow traditional expository techniques, but without narration, instead text titles will contextualize the viewer where normally a narration would be used. It will consist of interviews both on sticks and handheld as the story is carried out by the subjects. The lighting set up on these interviews will entail soft lighting with few shadows or natural lighting for the streeters. We will make use of archival footage to situate the viewer on where the documentary stands among the grand scheme of the protests. We also plan on using a video and documents in a scene about the pro-China side of the protests, different from the other scenes that all have people on screen talking from their own experiences, this one will only consist of on-screen text and archival footage. The pacing of our documentary will be very consistent, with scarce cuts between interviews and continuous handheld shots. The only sequence that will break this editing style is the initial scene with archival footage of the Hong Kong protests, which will have a fast pace mirroring the chaotic atmosphere enveloping Hong Kong. |
