Arrangement of film lectures

Basic theory:

1. What is a movie and what is a film review?

1, film is the product of the development of science and technology, and it is also the product of human imagination of its own relationship with the world. The ideology and artistry of audio-visual painting. From oral language culture, to written language culture, and then to image culture characterized by audio and video.

2. Two types of films: documentary style (Italian neo-realism, early films of Lumiere and China).

Drama style (influenced by stage plays, scenes, plots and stars)

3. Typification of film: This is the inevitable requirement of film and ideological production, plus artistic production, industrial aesthetics and business ethics. Ideological requirements (such as the formation of anti-feature films) market demand (the rise of western films. The rise of new anti-feature films)

Three stages: one is the type formation period (great train robbery)

The second period is the classicalization of genre (The Searcher, The Godfather and Once upon a time in America (Leonet) have the super-genre characteristics mentioned by Bazin).

The third is the rewriting of genre and anti-genre, parody and juggling. (For example, the Hollywood series Scream starring Kikisat, Sato Yingming, Y?suke Iseya and Kagawa Teruyuki, and the adaptation of Su Shao directed by Sanchilong to western films).

4. Film Review: (Definition) An artistic activity is an important means to realize the triple value of film in art, society and economy. In a narrow sense, film criticism is a research behavior aimed at a film and television art work or a film and television phenomenon under the guidance of professional theory. It is necessary to systematically master the basic knowledge of film and television development history, film and television skills, film and television criticism and news communication theory at home and abroad. As far as writing is concerned, it is a special essay.

Film appreciation, formal research, cultural criticism. Three types.

5. At present, the writing requirements for film reviews at this stage are:

1) The language is fluent and beautiful.

2) Understand the theme of the film

3) Master the basic characteristics and skills of film form.

4) Be able to grasp several details sensitively. (For example, scene scheduling analyzes the role of makeup in With You, and criticizes a scene of the Cultural Revolution in Farewell My Concubine).

5) The idea and structure of the article are good. Meet the requirements of argumentation.

The basic technology of film:

1, Montage: Montage originally refers to the architectural term of structural assembly, the film expression technique of editing and combining, 4 pages.

Montage is a means to connect the shots taken by the camera according to the logic of life, the order of reasoning, the author's viewpoint tendency and its aesthetic principles.

Some say it's a combination of shots, some say it's a combination of sound and painting, and it's also a montage (such as Fu Zhengyi).

If picture and acoustics are the "vocabulary" for the film director to communicate with the audience, then the montage means of using picture and acoustics to form shots and combining shots to form film rules is the director's "grammar". The scene, angle, length, action form and the combination of picture and sound of each shot all contain montage factors. It can be said that montage has existed since the beginning of the lens. At the same time, the treatment of lens angle, focal length and length has included the photographer's will, emotion, praise and criticism and ingenuity.

Montage is the connection of movies. The whole movie has a structure, and every chapter, every long paragraph and every short paragraph should also have a structure. In the film, this connection is called montage. In fact, it is to combine the lens group into a fragment, then combine the small fragments into a large fragment, and then organize the large fragment into a movie. There is no mystery or trick in it, which conforms to the logic of rationality and sensibility, and also conforms to the logic of life and vision. Griffith's last-minute rescue, Eisenstein's climb of Desati.

2. The classification and effect of montage.

(Narrative montage, ideographic montage)

Pudovkin experiment: (a gun and a smiling face and a frightened face, in different order))

Curry Schouw Effect: (After a close-up of an expressionless actor, there are three different fragments, the first is a pot of soup, the second is a coffin of a female corpse, and the third is a girl with a toy).

Narration: storytelling methods (parallel montage (different narratives after Dong Cunrui's breakup), cross montage (the birth of a country), and challenge montage (speaking of the devil, seamless steel pipe at station 5 1). Contrary to the challenge, there are illusion montages (for example, at Station 5 1, the spy was beaten by an underground gang member, and then the spy leader looked up), reappearance montages (globes in rural female teachers), narrative montages (for example, regrets about the past), and dream montages (jumps in different time and space).

Expression: To express emotion, symbol or metaphor. (Contrast montage (the scene of Zhang Zhongliang and IDA Wong dancing in "A Spring Flows East" and the riding boots of Japanese soldiers), symbolic montage (the scene of Wang Cheng's sacrifice in "Heroes and Children"), Eisenstein's vaudeville montage "clockwork orange")

Narrative (swordsman in Shuangqi town, rural female teacher, No.51military station, romance of the Three Kingdoms, bereavement, birth of a country, Dong Cunrui, gadfly) expresses meaning (a river flows eastward, floret, heroic children, white-haired girl).

3. Long-shot theory: Bazin, a long-term uninterrupted performance of a moving picture, maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the moving picture, emphasizing that the film should reflect the reality of life, and the shot should be more than 30 seconds. (Hou Xiaoxian, Shohei Imamura, AnJiro. Trufo) empty lens (writing scenery, writing things, with plot, without plot)

1) scene scheduling and the appearance of zoom depth-of-field lens laid a technical foundation for the long lens theory.

2) Theoretically, it is neo-realism, the new wave movement's pursuit of writing truth.

Specifically:

The first is to reflect the truth of normal life and chaos.

The second is to oppose the dramatic effect of causality and the control of montage on human narrative spirit.

Third, the depth of time and space increases, showing life and humanity in more detail.

4. Scene scheduling: Winston: On the one hand, it represents all the means of stage performance (performance, costumes, scenery, music, lighting, furniture), on the other hand, it also includes the spatial arrangement of these means of performance and the practice of a drama or theme.

Generally speaking, it refers to the combination of actors and lens scheduling, such as "drama position"

The scheduling of actors refers to the entry and exit, position change and posture change of actors.

Lens scheduling: multi-camera shooting.

1 1, the minister goes, Zhuang Sui, according to: buy 120 minks a month, buy 3000 chickens a week, I can't see the cost.

12, the minister was shocked, and Zhuang went on to say that these people just made more money.

13, the minister continued to walk, sneering: You are really good at accounting. The minister walked on, drawing.

14, the minister came to the screen and said: Although the emperor abdicated, look back: Tianwei is still there!

15, Zhuang Zaihua, standing in front of the minister: If I didn't think so, I wouldn't have come.

16, the two men confronted each other and became the middle shot. Minister: What do you want?

17, Johnston: A pair of glasses.

18, the minister looked at him doubtfully and breathed a sigh of relief.

In Invincible Young Men, the scene of a fight between Sheng Fan and pheasant goes down, and the internal contradictions and struggles are subtly revealed through lens movement and depth of field processing.

Comprehensive scheduling of actors and shots;

In Spring in a Small Town, Zhang first came to the bedroom and sang with Dai Xiu. , Zhang, and Dai Xiu have two triangular relationships: like, like Zhang, and Zhang likes Dai Xiu. The camera divides it into two camps: Xiu and Zhang are always together, but they are always free and often come back to participate. When Li Yan participated in the conversation, Yu Wen went back to bed. Yu Wen's three paintings show her ambivalence between two men and her jealousy and aversion to Dai Xiu.
