What are the characteristics of 1900 photography legend?

The biggest feature of the movie 1900 Legend is the use of montage and long shots.

1. Long focal length lens

? In the filming of this film, a large number of long shots are used for narration, such as the close-up of the bell mouth at the beginning of the film. At night, the trumpet gradually disappears into a long step, and then the lens moves slowly from far to near in the middle. Max appeared in front of the camera and sat on the wet steps to wipe his trumpet.

? The long lens slowly stretches and draws closer, giving people a reverie that the story is slowly unfolding. In addition to the title, there are many long shots in the middle. This accords with people's visual psychology of observing things from far and near, from whole to part, from panorama to detail in real life, and can mobilize the audience's attention to the subject.

2. Close-up shot

Close-ups use close-ups to enlarge and emphasize certain parts of people or things, thus producing strong artistic effects. For example, in this Qin-fighting scene, there are a lot of close-ups depicting 1900' s hands and head to show 1900' s superb skills and ecstasy.

montage

Montage (French: montage) is a transliteration loan word, originally an architectural term, meaning combination and assembly. Commonly used in three artistic fields, it can be interpreted as an intentional manual collage and editing technique in time and space. It was first popularized in film art, and later widely used in derivative fields such as visual art. Montage is to shoot a film into many shots according to the content of the film and the psychological order of the audience, and then combine them in the original order. In a word, montage is a shooting technique to reassemble the edited shots. ?

The film 1900 Legend is actually based on Max's memories. With the jumping in and out of various memories, more invasive shots are used, but they are not abrupt and closely related to the plot. It is this constant montage technique of jumping in, jumping out and inserting that forms a strong contrast and perfectly explains the profound friendship between Max and 1900.
