The theme choice of Lumiere brothers

Taking the family life you are most familiar with as the theme is undoubtedly the best choice for early film production. In this kind of films: baby's lunch, playing cards, chess, fishing, goldfish bowl, cat's lunch, children's quarrel, family dinner, quiet family life and so on. They are the most representative works.

Sadoul once commented on these films: "These films are not only like a family photo album, but also like a social documentary depicting a wealthy French family at the end of last century. Lumiere filmed some very successful scenes, allowing the audience to see the same life as themselves or the life they yearned for on the screen. " These emotional and poetic films are full of interest in family life and the infidelity of the middle class. Outdoor shooting is the main feature of Lumiere's works. In this part of the work, Lumiere better shows a photographer's talent and his thinking about movies. Works: Departing ships, incoming trains, police parades, street scenes, cavalry performances, as well as two films, 39 scenes shot in America and Venice by two photographers in Lumiere. To truly and naturally "capture real life" and record the fascinating natural space where human beings live and people's daily life. In the movie "The Ship Leaving Hong Kong", people who go out to sea are struggling to row their boats against the waves coming ashore again and again. In the upper right corner of the picture, Mrs. Lumiere and her children standing on the dam waved handkerchiefs to the rowers against the sea breeze, and their clothes fluttered with the wind. Lumiere used backlight to make the whole picture poetic. In this part of the film, the arrangement of lens position and the processing of picture composition are very elegant. Lumiere used depth of field and mobile photography to express himself, which made him worthy of the reputation as the best photographer in early movies.
