What is Yan 'an Film Academy?

1938 In August, Yan 'an Film Troupe was established. Yan 'an Film Art Troupe is the first film production and projection institution established in the revolutionary base area under the direct leadership of China * * * Production Party. Its establishment marks the germination of people's films and the beginning of China's * * * production party's direct mastery of films, which has a particularly important position in the history of China films.

Many comrades have written articles about Yan 'an Film Troupe, and many excellent works have been handed down from generation to generation. If there are still some shortcomings, we talk more about his "almost miraculous" film production and less about his artistic achievements in film creation. This has attracted the attention of film historians.

The only complete film born in Yan 'an is the documentary "Combination of Production and Playing". Photography and Xu, editing money. Before editing this film, Qian had rich experience in editing feature films and documentaries. He said: "My task is to organize these scattered materials into a complete film, make it coherent, highlight the theme, and use certain forms of expression to make it easy for the audience to accept and understand."

These words profoundly explain the basic essentials of documentary editing business. According to this principle, the compilation of a film will be successful, with twice the effort. Otherwise, it is hard to imagine. The editing art of Nanniwan is the beginning of his film creation. Wu Yinxian successfully filmed Chairman Mao's handwritten inscription "Do it yourself, have plenty of food and clothing" for this film. Qian takes this set of shots as the prelude of the whole film, which not only completely preserves the historical shots of Chairman Mao's exquisite calligraphy art, but also adds a lot of color to the film.
