Metaphor used:
This infopoetry wants to make audiences to feel the suffocating sensation when the plastic wrap increase, just like the haze makes people cannot breathe. The plastic wrap represents the haze, the more plastic wrap covered the more people cannot breathe and with the human face shape becomes blurred, it is like the peopleʼs sight in the haze, we cannot see clearly. Background sounds with the breath becomes heavier. I will show the average PM2.5 air pollution levels in Beijing of each year at the bottom of each scene.
