High score: the application of montage in movies

Appreciation of Montage Techniques in the Movie Fantastic Romance

The Indian film Fantasy is a film that pays great attention to montage. It tells the story with a series of tense and thrilling car accident scenes. In order to highlight the thrilling scene after the car accident, the photographer suddenly pushed the panoramic view of driving up the mountain into a close-up of the car winding around the "magic cow" with a zoom lens. At the moment of a sharp turn, the child in the car slipped off the rock and the camera was empty. The child rolls quickly and then cuts into the close-up. The audience saw the child's face covered with blood. At this time, the film left the audience with the impression that the child was covered in blood and his face was bruised. Then, I saw a leopard pouncing on the injured child. This scene is just right, indicating that the child may be bitten by a leopard at any time. At this time, the audience's mood is wave after wave, worrying about the safety of children's lives, while "Focus Plane" deliberately repeated several times with the leopard to prolong the movie time. At this time, the audience could not help but shout softly: "Danger!" Then, the director asked a deity to rush into the painting from the outside like a savior, accompanied by a huge roar from the deity. The gods rushed to the leopard, the camera opened, the elephant fought with the leopard, and the elephant approached the camera. The objective lens is used from the side and back, which dramatizes the fighting process and enhances the magic sense of the film. When the leopard was knocked down, the idol rolled up the child with his nose and washed the child with water. Push the camera again, and the close-up of the child, the scar on his face, disappears. At this time, the danger will be saved. When the audience watched the camera open, the gods left the picture with the children. Next, the film is about children's life in the wild. Children and idols are very close and play together. After the photographer used two shots to kill time, he used the montage technique of action connection to make children and idols become adults in the process of playing football. This processing method is completely in line with the visual psychology of movie audiences, and it also saves film. Overlapping with the end of this group of shots is the combination of fixed shots and moving shots, printing subtitles (director, actor, screenwriter, etc. ).

The above are just a set of scenes in which the director of Fantasia uses "prologue". At that time, the domestic film industry in India was very competitive. Producers have to make full use of various artistic means to create the best film benefits and seek attendance at special film time. This also tells us from the side that movies must pay attention to shooting methods, mainly using montage flexibly. At present, the conditions for making audio-visual films in our school are poor, so it is more appropriate to use a combination of long and short lenses when shooting. Long lens can make full use of the existing conditions, shoot the scene for a long time, and truly reproduce life. Short films can make full use of the unique time and space conditions of film art, use montage to divide the lens and create the life picture we need.

Many short shots are used in the movie "Fantastic". For example, the scene where the hero jumps into the fire pit is an example of using a short lens. The hero who climbed the ladder with a torch spilled gasoline on himself and set himself on fire. At the same time, the fire pool under his feet was blazing. The hero on high looks at his feet, and the director cuts an empty shot at this time to let people see the panoramic view of the street at night, so as to set off the high risk of the hero's position at this time. Then, the hero jumped down from the high platform and put out the flame with impact and splashing oil flowers, completing this thrilling scene. Here, the director uses the pitch lens for rendering, and the short lens changes as a cover, so that the audience can't see any flaws. It seems that the hero really wants to set himself on fire and really falls from the sky. In fact, this is just a camera game. Another example is the scene where the hero walks a tightrope, and the discerning person knows it is a short shot at a glance. Another example is the scene where the hero and heroine kiss their children, and a photo is taken with a juggling montage combined with an image (freeze frame). At this time, the rotation and freeze-frame of the picture set off the sincere love of both husband and wife for the "flower of love", and the use of freeze-frame can express permanent commemorative significance.

The short lens is suitable for transformation, and the long lens also has its own characteristics. When the gods chase the bad guys who hurt the hero, the director uses a long lens and adopts a parallel montage technique, "two flowers bloom, one for each table", so that the lens can follow the man and the elephant respectively and stage a comedy of "chasing people like elephants". This scene is really funny. The audience changed from sympathy and frustration for the hero to celebration and comfort for this sad and happy scene, and their emotions were completely mobilized by the film.

The scene of animals in the zoo celebrating the wedding of the host is a good example of the cooperation between long and short shots. With the cry of the young man, the director used a connection method called panel montage to let animals such as tigers, lions, bears and sheep "politely" enter the luxurious hall. The director asked the camera to follow these animals, showing the interior of the hall step by step, showing the luxury of the wedding, and also showing the "friend" relationship between the protagonist and the animals (the protagonist is the owner of the zoo). Here, an overhead camera is also used to give the audience a bird's eye view of the innocence of various animals. When they arrived at the master's inner room, they were really "seated accordingly"!

In a word, in order to make a good film, the director of Mythical took pains to change montage frequently. This also gives us an opportunity to appreciate. It can be seen that writing a good movie script is very hard. It also reminds us that it takes time, energy and conditions to write a good movie script, especially the cooperation of all parties.
