Apartments in Beijing - The Roommate Life
First Leap 2019
As the filmmaker and editor of "Apartments in Beijing - The Roommate Life", I had the opportunity to create a compelling video showcasing the benefits of living in Beijing for First Leap China. The video's main purpose was to persuade expats to consider moving to China, and to do so, I decided to focus on the experience of one character, Carmen, a roommate in Beijing.
In the the editing process, I carefully selected the footage that best captured the essence of Carmen's apartment, and pieced it together to create a cohesive narrative. I used a variety of editing techniques to create a visually engaging video that would hold the viewers' attention.
