How to analyze the photography technology of a film

First of all, film analysis examines students' writing ability. The basic requirements are fluency, no typos, and high writing skills. Secondly, it examines the examinee's understanding of some special handling techniques of movies, such as the use of black and white and tones in Zhang Yimou's film My Mom and Dad. Another example is the use of documentary techniques in The Story of Autumn Chrysanthemum. Third, examine the examinee's ability to grasp the theme of a film, and ask the examinee to understand the deep meaning and sociality of the film. For example, the theme of "Days Leaving Lei Feng" is: In the social transition period when free competition and personal interests are concerned, the spirit of self-sacrifice and collectivism represented by Lei Feng are not out of date.

2. The writing method and format of film analysis.

To write a film analysis, we must first determine the writing angle. There are many aspects and angles that a movie can analyze. Some candidates will talk about the theme of the film, analyze the structure of the script and analyze the characteristics of audio-visual language. They feel that they want to talk about everything, but they don't go deep. An excellent film analysis will never cover all aspects, but will always grasp one or two outstanding aspects for in-depth discussion.

First of all, we can make a sociological analysis of the film, that is, how the work reflects the social problems of an era, the relationship between the social content contained in the work and social life, and how the work develops this social theme. For example, The Story of Autumn Chrysanthemum is a realistic work. This film shows the real life of ordinary rural areas in China to the audience. Through the story of a humble little person living in the countryside who insists on using legal weapons to make a statement for himself, this paper reveals a theme about the concept of legal system: everyone has the right to protect dignity by law, and there is still a long way to go to fully popularize the concept of legal system in China.

Secondly, we can also make a narrative analysis of the film, that is, the skill analysis of the film plot, and analyze how a film establishes a narrative relationship, that is, how to tell a story, and how the creator of the film pushes the story forward step by step through the layout of the plot, the setting of details and the figurative shaping of characters.

Thirdly, we can analyze the director's techniques and audio-visual language skills from the technical level, how to establish the relationship between time and space, the lens system of film narrative, and how the director arranges scenes. For example, the prominent feature of Hou Xiaoxian's film audio-visual language is the use of long shots. Candidates can deeply analyze how the long shots are used in Hou Xiaoxian's films, what are the visual and psychological feelings of the long shots to the audience, and what kind of national aesthetic psychology is hidden behind the long shots. Another example is Chen Kaige's With You, which uses a lot of music to set off the theme of the film. Candidates can also analyze "listening" in audio and video. Of course, for the candidates who take the entrance examination, most of them have not been trained in professional audio-visual language, so the analysis of director techniques and audio-visual language should not involve too much. If the examinee can find out one or two prominent features of the audio-visual language in the film when watching, he can conduct audio-visual analysis. If they can't find out the outstanding features of audio-visual language in the film, they should not pretend to understand it. They can avoid audio-visual analysis and turn to sociological theme analysis or narrative skill analysis.
