Chapter 268 The double impact of vision and hearing
This time, Xu Song changed his past harsh film criticism style and watched this short film very seriously.
Quickly, he typed out a review analyzing the short film in a computer document.
""I Can Model" tells the story of a little girl from the beginning of learning the violin to the final award. The entire storyline is narrated continuously. According to the time flow of plot development, logical sequence and causal relationship, the narrative method of the entire story is a continuous montage.
.
In fact, the montage technique can be seen everywhere in the entire short film. Before seeing the competition information, the lives of the piano girl and the deaf-mute girl were parallel, with no overlap. They practiced in parallel time and space. Here, the application of
Parallel montage technique. The piano girl practices the piano at home, while the deaf-mute girl practices on the rooftop, but here, the two have no intersection.
After the poster of the school's "Classical Music Competition" appeared, it is not difficult to find that the film began to shift from parallel montage to cross montage. They met in the cafeteria, the piano girl knocked over the violin girl's rice tray, and the piano girl saw the piano girl on the street.
The violin girl performed with the homeless artist uncle and was surrounded by applause. She instigated others to come and destroy her. The two people's lives intersected for a common goal. At this time, the low and terrifying music affected the audience's emotions and created a tense atmosphere.
.
The important reason why this short film can arouse the audience's emotions is the extensive use of accumulation montage.
It shows that the piano girl is full of hostility and the girl's dream is hindered, it shows the violin girl's flowing hair and her piano skills at the climax, and it shows the girl's piano skills at her climax from the side, and the audience's expressions are all accumulated into a montage!
At the same time, metaphorical montage is used in many details.
For example, the broken violin symbolizes the girl's wounded heart, and the good violin wrapped with tape symbolizes the girl's persistence in pursuing her dream and not giving up. The camera moves up, and the clenched hands show the girl's determination to win.
The chrysalis is the dream in a girl's heart, and it blooms perfectly in the transformation of this competition.
In terms of color, have you noticed that the contrast between the colors of the two girls' clothes also symbolizes montage. The burgundy clothes represent utilitarianism, blood, and will not give up until the goal is achieved, while the white clothes symbolize the purity of the girl's heart.
; The drowsy audience in the auditorium became energetic when they heard the sound of the violin, and the contrast showed the girl's attractiveness and flawlessness.
There is a shot of grass at the beginning of the film, setting the stage for what will follow. In the subsequent plot, it can be seen that this large piece of grass is the stage of the girl’s dream. It is clean, pure and sunny. During the stage display, the camera cuts to the grass.
The scene is a scene in the girl's mind, a psychological montage.
When the girl is on the stage, scenes of her communicating with the master are interspersed with scenes to explain the background, explain the plot, and help the audience understand the main plot content and the ins and outs of the events. It is a kind of interlude montage.
Repeating montages are used in three places in the film, namely the girl practicing diligently to show her hard work; the competition notices constantly appearing in the piano girl's mind to show her desire for success; and the girl's painful memories of the past on the stage, which can better show her brokenness.
The difficulty of turning a cocoon into a butterfly.
It can be said that in this short 4-minute short film, the director has used the montage editing technique to the extreme, which is amazing!
And what this short film wants to express is that even relatives may be resistance in your life. This resistance can only be overcome by yourself. There are many noble people around you who support you, but there will also be a lot of resistance. These are all
Okay, because they are all trial touchstones on the road to success. There is no need to complain or worry, you just need to strengthen yourself and achieve yourself. Life will shine and you will transform."
After Xu Song checked it, he posted it directly on his personal Weibo.
And this announcement made some of his fans extremely surprised.
"Let me go, is this still the sarcastic Xu Song? Honestly, how much did Li Yi give you? How much did you praise him so much?"
"That's not right. In the past, you could criticize almost every one of Li Yi's movies as useless. Why have you changed your mind now?"
"Although I am very curious about why the blogger suddenly changed his temper, but after reading this analysis, I feel that he looks really awesome."
"I don't know much about montage, but this short film is really awesome! Anyway, I felt like my scalp was numb at the end!"
In fact, there are many similar comments.
The biggest difference between "I Can Type" and the previous ones is that in this short film, Li Yi was named as the "Hong Kong Island Film and Television New Talent Project".
Therefore, it attracted the attention of many people, not only ordinary viewers, but also a large number of people in the industry.
The famous film critic Du Xianghai has already become Li Chui, and this time is no exception.
However, compared to Xu Song's entire review, which focuses on the analysis of the application of montage editing techniques, Du Xianghai's review appears to be more comprehensive!
"In terms of plot, this commercial adopts a fragmented presentation method and does not coherently explain the process of the incident. However, it selects several of the most typical scenes and events to show the whole story of the incident.
For example, the girl is shown to be deaf. She is walking in front of the car and is unmoved despite the roar of the car horn.
The use of this method makes the plot more compact and concentrated, making people feel no drag at all.
The choice of music can be said to be one of the biggest highlights of this short film. The rhythm is very well controlled. When the plot is tense, music with a strong rhythm is used as the background music. When the plot is gentle, music with a gentle rhythm is used.
As for the music, the piano girl's piano music and the violin girl's violin music are cleverly used to integrate the background music into the plot, which creates a strong impact on the audience.
In terms of shooting methods, it uses a variety of shooting techniques. In the early stage, medium and close shots are mostly used. At the end, the girl's flowing hair is highlighted and a rotating lens is used. When the performance reaches the climax, the rotating speed is accompanied by
It accelerates with the rhythm of the music, giving people a double visual and auditory impact from both the sound and the picture.
In some key parts, close-ups are used, such as when the girl was bullied and the violin was thrown to the ground. For example, on the stage, a close-up of the violin was given, and then a close-up of her hand holding the violin tightly was given. The ending part
The close-ups of the expressions of the piano girl and the audience, etc., effectively show the shocking feeling of the girl's perfect transformation."
"I Can Do It" also quickly became a hit after that. In addition, the names of the heroines and female villains in the film were quickly searched, and they seemed to be famous.
This makes this "Hong Kong Film and Television New Talent Support Program" a good start.
After all, the main purpose of supporting new actors is to make them well-known to the public, and apparently "I Can Type" does this easily.
The characters who participated in "I Can Type" this time are all actors who have auditioned for "The King of Comedy" and stood out.
