The first part of the main interaction design is the impact and change of the live real-time human voice input on the video screen. The visual design is dominated by the video projected on the curtain. The main content of the video is the creative concept of abstract plot expression using live filming, refining elements such as the mother’s reprimand and facial movements, and integrating abstract editing expression to present the audience with a conceptual video of the tension and oppression in the mother-daughter relationship. As the first act of the performance, the video plays the role of introducing the story and laying the emotional tone of the story, so that the audience can feel both the oppressive relationship between mother and daughter when watching the first act of the performance, and the flowing, unrestrained change of their own emotions.
The video focuses on the story of a daughter practicing piano who is constantly struggling under the oppressive scolding and gaze of her mother. In the design of the video script, some metaphors are used to express abstract emotions – “hand” as a metaphorical element to express emotions: a red thread tied on the finger as a clue and the beginning of the story, followed by a large and a small hand pulling each other, and a struggling hand behind the gauze. The two hands pulling each other, the struggling hands behind the gauze, etc., all express the mother’s constant manipulation and restraint of her daughter. The close-ups of the “mouth” and “eyes” are direct expressions of the mother’s attitude, and the close-up perspective highlights the intensity of her feelings.
In the shooting of the video, the props and the actors’ costumes and makeup were plain to create a sense of story, and the images of “mother” and “daughter” were clearly distinguished. In the editing and processing of the video, the overall tone of the original video was reduced from brightness to black and white to express the depression and suffocation between the mother and daughter relationship. The editing uses a “flashback” shot as a transition to express the mother’s control over her daughter as a subconscious irregular control and bondage, and the overlapping of the two scenes also expresses the struggle between the daughter’s psychology and reality.
