Are you satisfied with watching Birdman?

I finished reading it; Fortunately, it can be called the best film, best director and best original script of the 87th Oscar on 20 15.

A hearty super long shot.

In addition to the above awards, Birdman also won another big Oscar: Best Photography.

In Hollywood, photographers' cafes are racking their brains to take good-looking shots every day. Heaven and earth are infinitely harmonious, and the wind, cattle and horses move forward and backward.

The story of Birdman takes place almost entirely in a closed St. Jim's Theatre on Broadway, with few exterior scenes, which can be said to be behind closed doors. It is in this case that Birdman's photographer boldly adopted the long lens of "one mirror to the end". If the hand-held long lens used in Zhang Yimou's Speak Well many years ago still makes people feel a little shaky, then the similar lens processing in Birdman is very smooth and natural, and the behavior and transition of the characters are mirrored in the end, giving viewers a strong sense of substitution.

How long is this super-long lens, which is seamlessly spliced from a long lens of about 10? Well, it took 103 minutes, and then the first obvious editing point appeared. It can be said that the photographer robbed the editor of his job and the editor burst into tears.

Of course, a hero and three gangs, in a cramped environment, do this kind of watertight work with cameras. Photographers should thank lighting engineers as well as camera stabilizers and triaxial stabilizers.

In the recently published book Xiao Gu Chat Painting, the author Gu Ye describes Monet in this way: Through the works such as Water Lily and giverny Garden, we can find that perhaps Monet loves painting light, and everything he writes is just his canvas to express light. In "Birdman", the photographer also attached great importance to the light, and many subsequent lighting engineers mobilized the light, so carefully cooperated, which made the willful photography of "Birdman".

Oscar is very old, but the judges are very young and encourage such bold experiments. Therefore, The Grand Budapest Hotel, which was also nominated for best photography, was defeated by the unconstrained style of Birdman when it was shot with relatively traditional beauty.

Who is the most popular photographer in Oscar photography? Well, Emmanuel again? Lubetzki, director of Alexsandro's Mexican hometown. The reason why I said "yes" is because this guy made a sci-fi blockbuster "Gravity" with Caron and his son last year. I remember some media said, "It looks simple on the surface, but I don't know how it was filmed." Lubetzki must have been snickering at that time.

20 14 Lubetzki won the academy award for best cinematography for Gravity. In 20 15, he won this honor again with Birdman.

In fact, there is another re-election in this year's Oscar, that is, the Mexican won the best director-Alfonso, the director of Gravity last year? Caron is Mexican, too.

All achievements can't rely on luck alone, just as Mexicans' deep integration into the United States is the result of years of hard work. Lubetzki's photographic achievements can't be won by one or two flowers. You know, he once won 1996, 2000, 2006 and 2006 respectively for The Little Princess, Sleepless Valley, New World and The Son of Man. Therefore, the bold use of this photography style by Birdman is definitely not a fluke. He is really an artist.
