MP4 - Experience in corridor


     There is a long corridor in my apartment building. My home is at one end of the corridor. I have to open tons of doors to get to my friends’, which is at the other end. It is a corridor without any window, so there is nothing much to see, it is quite focus me on my hearing and smelling. It is quite interesting that I can smell different things when opening each door, and I begin to guess what it is. Sometimes I can hear what they are doing, but not always. It was difficult to show what I smell in the video, so I decided to pick up several things I can hear or just imagine that I hear when I smell. When I heard these things I drew a picture in my mind, like those scenes displayed in my video.
     The first door in the video was the door of my home. As I mentioned, I live at the end of building, so I can hear birds singing in the morning from the side door. The second door was in the corridor. When opening, I smelled a fresh odor of breakfast. Suddenly, I heard a sound seemed to be from the toaster. I imagined that the household was making a delicious meal. When the third door is opening, I heard someone washing, probably brushing his teeth. It was an interesting experience that I could know what is happening around even I couldn’t see.
     I recorded as I walked through the corridor, took several photos shown what I imagined, then put them together in iMovie. I took 3 video clips of mimicry of what I heard and smelled, separated the sound from the clip, and then adjusted the length and synced them with the pictures in my video. The video shows the cross sense when walking in the corridor. There are more than three doors, but I have to keep the video in 1 minute so I just picked up 2 of them with one of my home.
