The Lost Colony - [Round Four] | Ghost Town | ~Ming-Hua~

5 MONTHS. I'VE PROCRASTINATED FOR 5 MONTHS. SOMEONE SLAP ME.
------
Story:
The group happens to find themselves face to face with the captain's wife, Ryah. However, it is very obvious something is not quite right with her. She leads them to an abandoned colony, where more clues are found, feelings arise, and someone finally breaks.
Facts about the video:
- Ming was not raped, but she came very close.
- This is one of the reasons she lied about her sexuality.
- Ming is obviously very overprotective over the kid.
- The older woman caught Ming and Edward together and she gossiped about it, which Anne heard.
- The older woman is also Ryah's mother.
- Ming was able to recognize that Javi was hallucinating because she went through the same thing.
- Fun fact: Ming has never cussed before she talked to Javi.
- Ming's head is still hurting from the small accident she had in round 1.
- Ming coming out of hiding towards the end is a symbolism of her not wanting to hide away anymore.

JUDGING:
Like I said on Min's these are all my thoughts and will update if the other judges comment on something that I didn't cover
- 11 minutes you crazyy people XD
- amazing intro, love the use of sound effects
- for SFX, let them play out a bit when picture cuts to black, gives a more intentional end then to abrubtly go to black ^-^
- 0:36 wonderfull zoom, movement on point, the only thing is just have the camera already zooming in subtlely at the beginning before it zooms through the crowd, gives the audience time to anticipate the zoom-in
- 0:39 - 0:45 great use of expressions (especially love Mulan's eyes getting bigger) the only thing I'll say is when you're cutting away then back to a shot (in this case Ryah gone kookoo XD) try to make them either consistent or vastly different. so the first Ryah shot you have a zoom-in (which beautifully contrasts Ming's zoom-out) but when you cut back you have Ryah's shot as static when it should continue the zoom-in. An ulternative could have been start on Ryah CU zooming-in, then when you cut back, show an XCU on her eyes (the concept is to have different shot types)
- 0:49 Love this manip
- 0:53 I love the movement you did on the book, its so natural looking ^-^
- 1:05 love that manip of the shake
- 1:10 very cool transition to Ryah ... not crazy XD
- I also love how throughout the Ryah intro scene you have Ming positioned behind everyone shes in frame with (not sure if done on purpose but I think adds a lot to the character arc you have for her ^-^)
- 1:15 I just love this shot when Ming is isolated
- amazing work with all the tree shadows especially with how many characters you put in a frame XD
- Love the conversation with Celia and Ming
- 1:44 - 2:30 ... I NEED A NAPPPP XD but you did give enough clues to be able to understand her backstory, the only thing I wanted to address is the fact that you have this amazing montage of her backstory, but when we cut to present day, Ming (and the rest of the conversation) refers only to the first half of the backstory. So when we come from a shot of Tingting and Mulan to dialogue saying "I lied to her..." a viewer may automatically connect "her" to Tingting, when in acutallity Her refers to Anne. I actually think Ming's whole "I lied to her... it was too late" could have been great narration overtop the visuals of the backstory, then save the whole Edward confrontation to intercut with Javi's hallucination, but honestly what you have works really well still especially with such a complex plot (I still think Ryah Mother hired an assassin XD).
- 2:02 AMAZINGGGGGG Absolutely stunning movement and the picture itself looks gorgeous Rosie
- Although I harassed you for the chronology of the backstory, the shots are still soo well done and the lighting, movements, everything is on point
