What kind of shooting techniques are used in the documentary "The Four Seasons of the Earth"?

The greatest artistic charm of movies is that they can bring audio-visual enjoyment, and at the same time let us think in a more convenient way. But in the current film market, few such excellent works can make us have such an experience. This National Day file, with Xiaogang Feng's masterpiece "I am not Pan Jinlian" getting cold feet, only a bunch of stragglers are left.

However, there is a movie that appeared in this National Day file with a distinct attitude, and that is "The Four Seasons of the Earth".

Visual wonders that "graphic control" can't miss

The film was directed by the famous French director jacques perrin. His works "Migratory Birds" and "The Sea" eulogize the greatness of life with their broad perspectives. And this "Four Seasons of the Earth" shows us a picture of the development of the earth through the changes of the four seasons.

In the film, the director used a lot of shooting techniques to show the magnificence of nature. "Migratory Birds" once photographed the spectacular scene of migratory birds with ingenious flight photography. In Ocean, breathtaking underwater photography unveiled the mystery of the ocean for the first time.

And this "Four Seasons of the Earth" shows us the beautiful changes of the four seasons and a thrilling hunting with more skillful high-speed photography skills. The use of various photographic techniques in the whole film is very accurate. From the winter, the film shows the beauty and delicacy of winter by combining close-up and wide-angle photography.

The film uses several spectacular time-lapse photography shots to show the changes of seasons, while in details, it uses high-speed photography to show colorful beautiful pictures of falling snow in autumn and winter. The precise use of photography makes the whole film very enjoyable and shows the beauty of nature. At the same time, it lies in photography major and has great aesthetic value at the level of teaching materials. It is a must-see visual spectacle for graphic control and photographers.

The Call of the Wild

The first half of this film mainly tells the magnificence of nature. The first half is mainly in the forest, showing the development and survival mode of various creatures under pure natural conditions. Survival and reproduction is the eternal theme of life, and the film directed by us also shows this process. Under his lens, the details of life, such as adult birds feeding young birds, deer birth, guinea pigs digging holes and so on, have become a part of this nature.

There is almost no commentary in this part of the film. The director tries to create a quiet atmosphere, so that ordinary audiences can blend in with nature, think, feel and appreciate the aura and mystery of nature on the spot.

But the director's performance of nature is not only here, he tries to show this nature more comprehensively, and inevitably shows the cruel side of nature. Similarly, without any explanation, the director quietly showed the audience several thrilling chases and "spy" raids, which made us see the cruel side of nature. In a quiet atmosphere, I felt the existence of the food chain and the nature of the jungle.

The first half of the whole movie, although there are few explanations, is very interesting. He made us deeply feel the elegance and cruelty of nature, and also became a visual feast for people who like animals.

The theme of "domestication" and environmental protection shows a more novel view of human history

Yuval harari, a famous anthropologist, described the appearance of human beings as "a human flood in Conan the destroyer" in his book A Brief History of Human Beings: From Animals to God. The original text said, "For large animals all over the world, the only survivors of this flood may be humans and other poultry and livestock who boarded Noah's ark but only served as delicious food on human plates."

In this film, the contrast between the primitive and human-centered living conditions of various species before and after human intervention in natural evolution is emphasized, and the new concept of human "domestication" of nature is strengthened. In the film, through the subtle changes of birds' drinking places from mountain springs to fountains and guinea pigs from weeds to rice, the picture of nature changes is portrayed in detail.

Introducing the theme of environmental protection from the perspective of domestication is a breakthrough made by jacques perrin on the basis of the theme of marine environmental protection. The film first shows the limited use of nature by human beings, then shows the changes of nature by human beings, and finally shows the damage caused by excessive use of nature by human beings. This is the historical order of human beings using nature, and it is also the logical order from change to "domestication" and then to destruction.

When a movie loses its soul, it loses its value, loses its flavor of the times and becomes meaningless. The truth of documentary lies in objectively recording phenomena and showing existing problems. This film integrates the nature documentary into the latest historical view, and its profound connotation has opened the obvious gap between it and other films in the National Day archives.
