Fragmented shots aimed at different subjects convey unrelated and fragmented information, and the dramatic story will naturally not exist. Fragmented shots are edited together in different ways to generate secondary information and convey emotions. An examination of the basic workings of video, it is not only a treasure trove of film editing techniques, but also a precious record of life in the big cities of the Soviet Union in the late 1920s. The camera dance made in freeze frame is the most...

There is no script, all the scenes are taken from everyday social life. Vertov intends to break away from literary and dramatic influences in order to establish the language of cinema itself. In the play we can see the analogy of the cross-cutting of the shutters of opening and closing with the blink of an eye; the juxtaposition of the opposite themes of birth and death, marriage and divorce; slow motion to express the graceful posture of athletes; Accelerated editing, culminating in a...

8/10. Based on the associative form of the eye as the camera, Vertov vigorously demonstrates the power of editing and special effects to manipulate reality: the slanted frame splits the two street scenes and re-juxtaposes them, the camera pans frantically to capture different angles of the city, and the interior of the machine is full of The moving parts work, the blinking eyes, and the street cars and rails assembled by several rotations are quickly edited together to create a flickering...

5- Blinds, film eyes, shutter stems. The first (feature film) and the third (behind the scenes) perspective are mixed, and the content and technology are all very interesting: mobile street shooting, lying on the rails, flashing childbirth, slow motion stop motion, split screen, eye and ear montage, simple Stunts, and even animation.... The cinematic design that echoes the beginning and the end is great. The editing and rhythm in the second half are loud, and the soundtrack in the first half is...

This carefully edited documentary is a visual representation of Vertov's theory of "cinematic eyes," with no sets, no subtitles, and no actor props. The film presents a meticulous layered structure: the outer layer is an urban symphony that records the ordinary life of Soviet working people, and the inner layer tells how the camera records life and how the photographer shoots and edits. It's actually the editing that makes this film even more...

The concentrated presentation of Vertov's aesthetics, like Epstein, not only strongly doubts human vision, but also relies on the transcendence of the film's eye; the difference is that V's reality is not unconscious but social reality, and has the general mechanical worship of the Soviet Union at that time. I personally think the most interesting thing is reflexivity, but it is not in Brecht's sense, on the contrary, in V, the film itself constitutes a kind of creator, a kind of supernatural...
