What are the innovations of Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk in film technology?

Undoubtedly, the innovation in film technology, 120 frame, is well deserved.

As an audience, we should pay attention to what technological innovation has brought.

120 frame to watch a shot that can't be missed. The soldiers attended the funeral in the cemetery.

Billy Lynn's class B soldiers have just arrived at the football field. When they were in the stadium, they were suddenly hit by the smoke from the stadium. This loud noise made Billy Lynn flash back to the scene when they had just returned to China and buried their comrades-in-arms and squad leader in the military cemetery.

The clarity of this local 120 frame is reflected in two aspects. One is that the scene is really deep enough, the cemetery itself is deep and the horizontal direction is relatively large; Another more important aspect is that director Ang Lee used a 360-degree motion panoramic lens that almost surrounded the soldiers. Generally speaking, when you freeze a moving shot, its picture definition will be much worse than that of a still shot. However, in this moving shot of Billy Lynn, almost no frames are lost. In this place, we can feel the richness and realism brought by the image of 120 frame.

120 frame: Don't miss the scene. The climax of the football halftime performance.

When the soldiers of Class B finally appeared in the football halftime performance, there was a special seat with the soldiers in the foreground and the camera behind. There are many people performing in the middle of the camera, some people performing backstage, and there are dark audiences behind. This is another shot with a very large horizontal range and a very deep depth.

In this shot, there are colorful costumes of performers and rows of white fireworks rising. The environment is a whole green lawn, all kinds of fences, and the fireworks released are very realistic. The texture of all objects makes people feel trance for a moment, thinking that they are sitting in the middle of a football field watching a live performance. When watching a movie, the audience should not only look at the back of the protagonist Billy, but also look at the deep and side areas. These things are realistic.

Frame 120: Don't miss shot 3: The shooting battle scene in Iraq.

In the battle scene in Iraq, although the environment is khaki and the color of the military uniform is not bright, we can still see many small details showing its fullness. When the soldiers hid under a low wall, the audience could see the bullets flying by and hitting the dust splashed by the low wall. The texture of this dust does not need to be captured at high speed, but because the clarity of the film is achieved, the texture of the dust and small broken bricks splashed by these brick walls is very similar to what we personally feel in real life.
