tearjerker director

Chapter 269 The double shock of vision and hearing
This time, Xu Song changed his past acrimonious film review style, but watched this short film very seriously.

Soon, he typed out a comment analyzing the short film in the computer file.

""I Can" tells the story of a little girl from learning the violin to finally winning the prize. The whole story is narrated continuously. According to the time flow, logical order and causal relationship of the plot development, the narrative method of the whole story belongs to continuous montage .

In fact, montage techniques 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 are parallel, and there is no intersection. They are practicing in parallel time and space. Here, the application of The technique of parallel montage.The piano girl practiced the piano at home, while the deaf-mute girl practiced on the rooftop, but here, the two did not meet.

After the poster of the school's "Classical Music Competition" appeared, it is not difficult to find that the film began to change from a parallel montage to a cross montage state. When we met in the cafeteria, the piano girl knocked over the violin girl's meal plate. The violin girl performed together with the vagabond uncle, and was surrounded by crowds to win applause. She instigated others to come and sabotage. In terms of time, the two had an intersection for the common goal. At this time, the low-pitched and terrifying music affected the emotions of the audience and aroused the tension. .

The important reason why this short film can arouse the audience's emotions is the extensive use of accumulation montage.

The performance of the piano girl is full of hostility, the girl's dream is hindered, the violin girl's hair is flowing, the piano skills are climax, the audience's expressions are all accumulated montage!

At the same time, metaphorical montage is applied in many details.

For example, a broken violin symbolizes the girl’s once wounded heart, and a good violin wrapped in tape symbolizes the girl’s persistence for her dream, not giving up, the camera moves up, and the tightly clenched hands show the girl’s determination to win. The silkworm chrysalis is the dream of a girl, and it blooms perfectly in the metamorphosis of this competition.

In terms of color, did you notice that the contrast between the colors of the two girls’ clothes is also a symbol of montage, the wine red clothes represent utilitarianism, blood, and never give up until the goal is reached, while the white clothes symbolize the purity of the girl’s heart ;The drowsy audience in the auditorium woke up when they heard the sound of the violin, and the contrast showed the attractiveness of the girl, which was flawless.

At the beginning of the film, there was a shot of a grassland, which laid the groundwork for the future. In the following plot, it can be seen that this large grassland is the stage of the girl's dream. It is clean, pure and sunny. When the stage is displayed, the camera cuts to the grassland. The scene is the scene in the girl's mind, a kind of psychological montage.

When the girl was on the stage, she kept interspersing with the scenes of communicating with the master, 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.

There are three places in the film that use repeated montages, namely, the girl practices diligently to show her hard work; the competition announcement keeps appearing in the piano girl's mind to show her desire for success; The difficulty of becoming a butterfly from a cocoon.

It can be said that in a short 4-minute short film, the director can be said to have used the montage editing technique to the extreme, which is amazing!

And this short film, I want to express that even relatives may be the resistance in your life. This kind of 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 the touchstones of trials on the road to success, no need to complain or worry, just need to be firm and achieve yourself, life will shine and you will transform. "

After Xu Song checked it, he posted it directly on his personal Weibo.

And when it was released, some of his fans were incomparably surprised.

"I'm going, is this still the vitriolic Xu Song? To be honest, how much did Li Yi give you? How much is he touting?"

"No, Li Yi's movies before, almost every one you can criticize is useless, why have you changed your temper now?"

"Although I'm curious why the blogger suddenly changed his temper, but after reading this analysis, I think it looks so awesome."

"I don't know what montage is, but this short film is really good! Anyway, I feel like my scalp is 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 "Hong Kong Island Film and Television Newcomer Project".

Therefore, it has attracted the attention of many people, not only ordinary audiences, 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 application and analysis of montage editing techniques, Du Xianghai's review is more comprehensive!

"From the perspective of the plot, this commercial adopts a fragmented way of expression, and does not explain the process of the event coherently, but selects the most typical scenes and events to show the whole story of the event. For example, it shows that the girl is deaf, and she walks in front of the car, even though the car horn is roaring, she will not be moved.

The use of this method makes the plot more compact and concentrated, making people feel no procrastination at all.

The choice of music can be said to be one of the biggest highlights of this short film. The rhythm is well controlled. When the plot is tense, music with a strong sense of rhythm is used as the background music. 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 speed of the rotation is accompanied by Accelerating with the rhythm of the music, it brings 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 is being bullied, the violin is thrown on the ground, such as on the stage, a close-up of the violin is given, and a close-up of her hand holding the violin tightly is given, and the ending part The close-ups of the faces of the piano girl and the audience, etc., effectively express the shock of the girl's perfect transformation. "

"I Can" also quickly showed a sweeping trend after that.In addition, the names of the heroine and villain in the film were also quickly searched out, and they seemed to be famous.

This makes the "Hong Kong Island 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 obviously "I Can Type" did it easily.

This time, the roles in "I Can Type" are all actors who stood out from the auditions of "The King of Comedy" before.
