Stairs-The Polish animated short film Stairs was created on 1969 and directed by Stefan Shah Bennback. In this short film, although the materials used by director Xia Benbeck are very simple, just a clay doll and a pile of stairs, the connotation he expresses is very profound. At the beginning of the short film, the director changed the whole picture from plane to three-dimensional by adjusting the lens position, and the audience entered a game about three-dimensional time and space. This conversion method from two-dimensional to three-dimensional using the change of aircraft position is not only smooth but also natural. In the short film Stairs, the lens seems to be the eyes of the audience. In the case of keeping the position unchanged, the camera follows the walking hero in a moving way. In the process of switching, the background of the short film changes constantly, from flat stairs to complex stairs, and finally to dazzling mountain stairs. This shooting technique is easier to interact with the audience for the short film Stairs with relatively simple background design. Not only can the audience always pay attention to the protagonist who climbs the stairs, but also can see the direction, speed, posture and the relationship with the environment when the protagonist climbs the stairs. In addition, only two scenes have changed in this short film. The first place is that shortly after the short film started, when the protagonist looked around, the director used a translation lens, and the change of the lens made the audience see a group of stairs with no end and no direction. In fact, this swaying lens is the subjective lens of the protagonist. The director just wants to tell the audience through this lens that when everyone is surprised and at a loss about these stairs, the protagonist feels the same way. Second, at the end of the film, the director used a pull lens. In this shot, the audience can not only see the intricate relationship between the stairs, but also feel that although the protagonist is only a small part of this environment, his efforts have made the stairs higher. What the director wants to tell you through this lens is that anyone's struggle is meaningful, because people are constantly pushing this society forward. The background environment of this film is a virtual hypothetical environment. In this environment, the relationship between going up and down stairs is complex and prominent. As the protagonist, the little clay figurine is relatively ignored by the director, both in lens processing and in proportion to the surrounding environment. This kind of visual processing seems that the director himself prefers to rethink people and the meaning of their existence with a bystander mentality.
