The first scene recording

For the start of our documentary, we decided to be an online scene of people's commentaries. It is found on ZhiHu where people put on the questions and their opinions and other people could leave the comments and their opinions as well. As our documentary is about students study abroad, and there are still some misunderstanding of this groups of people in China, we think it will be a good start if we put the misunderstanding at the beginning.

As my computer is Dell, unlike Macbook, Dell does not have the ability to record the screen, it could only make screenshot. To get the online scene, I used an app which is called "ApowerREC". It is an app that is particularly used in recording the screen, and it could make me to get the online scene.
This is the app that I used
And this is the basic form that what it looks like (it is in Chinese)



At the start, I just randomly scrolled it down by my fingers:
As you could see that scrolling down the screen by fingers is quite unstable. Even though the speed seems to be fine and I could change it while editing, however, it is too unstable that some parts of the scrolling are too fast, some parts are too slow, this will increase the hardness of editing. 

Therefore, instead of using my fingers, I click the 'pagedown'  on my keyboard and make it down:
It might not have too many changes, but I think it actually look better than the first one. Although the speed may be faster than the first one, it is much stable. And the speed problem I could solve during editing.

Also, as this is a Chinese website, the comments are all Chinese. For our secondary target audience, which is the foreign people who are interested in, we will add subtitle down below. And we will make the subtitles to stay longer which could ensure the audience could see it properly. However, we might still speed it up for purpose (as we want to make the speed be faster and faster and suddenly turns into black).
