”Open your eyes" is a short video project to show how does this represent me as a unique media maker. Viewers will see what I see and what I feel through my eyes, so that they can feel my understanding of art and what kind of media worker I am .






Concept


As a media worker, I hope to convey the world in my eyes and my understanding of art to the viewers. At the beginning of the project, I decided that the whole thing would be from my perspective, and the viewer will see through my eyes what I see and what I feel.


Mood Board


After defining the concept, I set up the moodboard to show my initial concept and the style I wanted. I the way birds fly, the story in people, and feeling of different architecture. So, I decided to use continuity editing to connect different scenes together and give my viewers a dreamy feeling.






Final visual effect









Reflection 


This 30s video project is a good exercise in my editing and visual effects skills. But I do think it's too short, so I hope I can enrich it in the future and add some dialogue to the video to enhance the cinematic feeling of the video.
