The Art of Watching Movies —— Photography and Special Artistic Effects (2)

Special artistic effects are expressed through special visual skills.

1. Show the authenticity of subjective opinions through the jitter, instability and irregular movement of hand-held cameras.

Hand-held cameras have special effects when shooting violent action scenes. Its uncertainty, confusion and diversity are consistent with violent thoughts.

2. Show different shooting effects through the photography angle.

Low-angle lens, which places the camera below the apparent horizon, infinitely exaggerates the size or importance of the subject and shows different visual effects. For example, suffocating despair and fear, deformed and twisted ordinary things, pent-up and tangled emotions, tense moments hanging by a thread, ... extreme exaggeration will inevitably lead to intense feelings.

High-angle lens, the camera is placed higher than the apparent horizon, which makes the subject smaller and weakens its importance. Just like Gulliver looked down on Lilliput and looked down on everything.

Create an illusion, let the audience look at the subject from their own perspective, and understand and sing more about its visual effect.

3. Color, diffusion and soft focus

Colors and color filters can create different special effects, such as gray tones, dark tones or warm and romantic tones in some films. You can lighten the blue of the sky to show the white of the cloud, darken the green to highlight the vitality, and add a red filter in front of the camera to show the impulse or passion.

Diffuse: nylon stockings are placed in front of the lens to filter light, weaken color and produce diffuse effect.

Make the film show thickness and texture, or old, mellow and moist, and become more and more charming after years of baptism; Or hazy as poetry, ethereal as a dream; Or picturesque scenery, in which you sigh the nature of heaven and earth and express your feelings.

Soft focus and slight virtual focus are helpful to express subjective attitude. For example, subtle psychological changes, desperate nervousness, inexplicable sadness, and falling in love at a loss can all be used to express a moment's emotions in a vague situation.

4. Use special lenses to show the distortion of real scenes, such as exaggerated perspective of wide-angle lenses, so that the foreground and background look farther or larger than the actual distance; The telephoto lens compresses the spatial depth, making the foreground and background look closer or smaller than the actual one; And a fisheye lens. When shooting, the horizontal and vertical planes of the picture are curved, which distorts the relative relationship between the depth of the picture and the facial features of the actors, and most of them present some fuzzy abnormal States.

5. Fast action shows a panic, nervousness or pure comedy effect, which will compress time or age.

The special effects in modern movies have achieved many visual effects beyond our power, which are not created by human beings.

People can't tell reality from special effects. They are immersed in the fictional world, feeling magnificence, fantasy, magic, adventure, super power and crossing. As richard edlund said, the application of visual effects will be more and more extensive. As long as they continue to satisfy the audience's desires and no other technology can replace them, they will continue to succeed.

Animation special effects, especially those that attract adults, make animation the best on the big screen.

Cartoons are divided into hand-drawn, freeze-frame animation and computer animation.

Hand-drawn animation is a beautiful and sweet memory for many people. The most famous are Miyazaki Hayao's animated films, Spirited Away, Hal's Moving Castle, Princess Ghost and Jin Yuji on the Cliff. They have beautiful pictures and fresh styles, and learn to think about the meaning of life and the value of existence in a soft and healing atmosphere.

Stop the animation, constantly move the role of a small object or doll, and adjust its movement at a speed of 24 frames per second.

For example, Mr. Magic Fox by wes anderson created a brave, adventurous, responsible and responsible father fox.

Computer animation, the first fully computer-generated animation was Toy Story by Pixar Animation Factory, and the 3D animated feature films Alice in Wonderland and The Prince of Egypt are all excellent works that people talk about.

The development of movies has improved people's aesthetics and enriched people's spiritual world. She is occupying the audience's love with her unique artistic form.
