COURSE: Communication Arts 155: Introduction to Digital Media Production
MEDIUM: Narrative Video
DESCRIPTION:
This story is based on my own story of getting depression when entering this college. I felt alone and had no friends. All of my life in America was black and white until an American girl talked to me when I was reading a book alone. The girl just asked me about the story of the book, and we started chatting. She makes me feel hopeful about my life in America.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT:
I want to show how international students may suffer when leaving home to study abroad. I want to use my story to remind both international students and American students how a short conversation can change one’s life. By using black and white for most of my video and changing it into color in the end, I try to symbolize the world the girl sees, showing the audience through her eyes.
