“Morning. A handheld DV camera captures a first-person POV of a freshman approaching the university main gate. The scene starts with the camera pointed downward at Zhao Qi’s sneakers stepping onto concrete stairs. The camera rises slowly, revealing the busy entrance, welcome decorations, and crowds.
The DV footage shakes lightly with each step. Auto-exposure flickers when it hits sunlight. In front of the gate, a large red horizontal banner reads: ‘新生欢迎季’. Several blue 迎新帐篷 are set up, with volunteers walking around. Background audio includes students talking, luggage rolling, and light wind noise. The whole feeling is casual, amateur, like a student vlog.”
