作品的拍攝地點在桃園「建國九村」，其原為空軍眷村，現已為廢棄的空城，之後生存遊戲玩家入侵此地，成為了生存遊戲的熱門景點。生存遊戲（模擬戰爭）這項運動與眷村（遠離戰爭的住所）的環境背景形成了某種微妙的關係，同時地方也面臨到發展停滯的問題，與政府十幾年前推行的「桃園航空城」願景形成巨大的反差，隨著計畫的緩慢進行，政府預計將擴大徵收土地，使整個地區的居民都要面臨遷移的問題，再加上人口的老化，整個區域就如同居民所諷刺的「空城」。從「生存遊戲」的角度切入，將「生存」作為敘事的核心，串連過去與現在，並將生存遊戲玩家、過去的軍眷、現今遷村的居民，三個背景迥異的人群結合，闡述一個跨時空故事 ── 人們都是在一場生存遊戲中。 

在視覺的呈現上運用了遊戲的元素，玩家的跟拍、居民的視窗對話、空戰遊戲的畫面，嘗試將紀實與虛擬混合，再搭配上居民的對話內容、生存遊戲玩家的訪問，來重新錄製口白，串連地區的歷史畫面與過去眷村空戰英雄的事蹟。最後播放著空軍軍歌，搭配著生存遊戲玩家穿梭在建國九村中的畫面，造成現在與過去的連結，軍歌道出過去居民的身份與時空，但現今人事已非只留著空蕩的廢墟，畫面以非線性剪輯與多螢幕的方式，穿梭在廢墟與田園之間，紀錄這段暫時的時光，用一種旁觀的視野來觀察這塊土地。 

"Survival Game" was filmed in "Jianguo 9th Village" in Taoyuan. The place was originally an Air Force military kindred village but now it's just a ghost town. Later, survival game players began showing up at this abandoned village, making it a popular spot for the games. Survival games (a simulation of war) and a military kindred village (a haven safe from war) form a rather intricate relationship. At the same time, Taoyuan has also been facing problems regarding urban development. As of now, Taoyuan is far from becoming what its government imagined it would have developed into decades ago, Taoyuan aerotropolis. As development continues to progress at a slow pace, the Taoyuan government has decided to expand its compulsory acquisition of land, and many of its residents are now facing migratory problems on top of an aging population. The areas have ironically turned into ghost towns spoken amongst the locals. The perspective of "Survival Game" puts an emphasis on "survival" as its core for storytelling, which connects the past and the present, as well as survival game players, the former military kindreds, and the now-migrating residents. The assembly of three groups of people from different backgrounds tells a story that traverses across time. Everyone is all attending a survival game of their own.

There was a variety of game elements that was incorporated into the visuals. These elements stretch across the following shots of players in action, the dialogues between residents, and air combat scenes. We attempted to fuse factual documentary with virtual elements, couple that with the dialogue from the locals, interviews with survival game players, and a well-crafted narrative, we were able to connect the local scenery shots with the past glory of the air forces heroes. Lastly, with the air forces war song in the background, and scenes of survival game players traversing across in Jianguo 9th Village, a connection is made between the past and the present. The war song reflects the past locals' identity and history, but the scenes portray only ruins of what has been left behind. We portrayed our shots in a non-linear editing style with multiple monitors running simultaneously as they run through the ruins and the countryside, documenting a short moment in time and observing this land from a sideline perspective.
