After directing a new version of the split shot, I made the following adjustments in this version
Firstly, the overall speed has been reduced so that each key shot stays for 1-2s longer.
Changed the multi-distance shots in the first act from pushing close to the camera to rotating shots. Maintaining the character in the top right visual centre, first having the trees in the scene obscure the main character, then slowly changing the camera angle to bring the main character out.
Secondly I noticed that the split shot had to be timed to take into account the continuity of the action, with two different angles for the same action shot.
Then I optimised the shot, for example, in this scene, the character is repositioned to the third of the frame, with the whole body in the visual centre.
Finally I sketched the design of the monster character, inspired by Nuo-myeon, which has a dragon like mask with a red and green colour scheme, the story takes place in the New Year and the dragon is a representative of the zodiac, so I designed the character’s head as a Nuo-myeon dragon mask.
