The Sacrifice

From the dazzling glamour of the city, to the tranquility of the British suburbs, this 7-minute documentary journeys into the mind of Jonathan, a new student at Abingdon School from Hong Kong. From learning styles to social life, it explores the differences and changes, and in particular, the sacrifices that are made.

Frankly, Not touching nor contrasting if that is what you meant to do.

The title makes the whole thing so heavy.

Relax and have fun man.

tranquility = bored to death

Hahaha well done AFU and i especially like the shots of Blob Bob (Robert Lloyd) singing and Mr Hall.

hahaa good job! 個主角D眼神好正呀! 英國校園果種寧靜都portray得好正呀! 見到好多hard work係入面!

but 我有少少意見啦:

using the word "sacrifice" 好似嚴重左少少

and 我知道要wun人入鏡講返呢D說話好難, 但係如果可以再多一兩個唔同遭遇/性格geh學生例子就更加co­nvincing and 直頭係鏗鏘集lark : )

你會再改呢個video定係而家已經係finished product黎架啦?

DUDE GREAT DOC!!

yeah.. even for uni i wanna stay in city city. like London. Though HK cannot be compared to the UK.

HK is too nice:(

I'm scared I will be too spoiled by the lifestyle in Hong Kong.

很好的聲音和環境對比，加上主角的獨白和眼神流露出一種【習慣了­生活中帶那麼一點懷鄉的思念】和留學生獨有的寂寞....在外地­無法融入社會的無奈....想不到於梨華的又見棕櫚中所表達的留­學生悲哀現在還是一樣...真諷刺呢。是留學生的話都應能明白吧­? 很好的Documentary.
