Beginning senior high school means starting a new chapter in your life.But along with the excitement comes anxiety and pressure,especially after the charm of senior high goes away.“What do I want to be in the future?”is a question that will constantly pop up in your mind.And many of you may not know how to answer it.

It’s this exact same feeling of loss and anxiety that features in a documentary named Thick Fog (《五 里雾》).The short film,produced by four students from Wanzhou No.2 Middle School in Chongqing this summer,shows five young people’s life struggles and their inner voice when facing problems.

“Energy is supposed to be the label of the youth,but anxiety among many young adults of my generation is very well documented,”said Luo Anlan,15,director of the documentary.

Inspired by this fact,Luo,with three of his classmates,got to work.Before they began filming,they wrote an outline of the story,looked for shooting locations,and chose five interviewees,including high school students and college graduates.

“It isn’t just students who have problems to worry about.Graduates taking their first steps into the adult world lose their footing as well,”Luo explained.“We tell stories of different age groups to present struggles at different periods of life.”

The film is only eight minutes long,but took five days to make.Without professional recording equipment,students had to shoot with their smart phones.However,difficulties came one after another.Because of the noise they experienced in the daytime,they had to shoot during the quiet of night,sometimes continuing until the early morning.

But great efforts always pay off:The video already has hundreds of views online,and seems to be popular with its viewers.

“After finishing this task,I feel more confident when thinking about the hardships on the road ahead,”Luo said， “At the same time,I hope this documentary will encourage young people to dream big.Just like the line at the end of the documentary says,‘You’ll be proud of your choices someday.’”

【点石成金】正常情况下，记叙文的前面几段会点题，在叙事之前对故事做扼要概括。然后，作者会交代事件发生的时间、地点、任务和环境以及最初事件。如果阅读任务要求对事件进行概括，请同学们快速抓住文章前几段。如果文章有话题导入，通常是第二段。如果没有，而是直接叙事，那么就在首段。本篇的概括信息集中在第二段。
