After the evening class of editing and directing on Thursday, I asked my brother, "How do you think Wang Jiazhi fell in love with Yi Mo?" He smiled and said to me, "You don't understand a woman, I'm a straight man. I don’t understand even more. I think that a woman falls in love with a man in an instant. Maybe you preset an ideal type in advance, but when the real person appears, you will overthrow all the presets and think: it’s him ."
Lead the knife into a quick, live up to the young man's head. I read Lust and Caution with the goal of finding Wang Jiazhi's "moment", and then I understood what kind of lonely heart is hidden under the cheongsam, and then I understood what Yi Mocheng burst out from under his repression and indifference. A little love. After the introduction, let's go to the topic. The whole opening scene uses soft light, which can show the softness of the female face, and the natural light effect created adds a sense of realism. The melodious jazz music and the cheongsams of the ladies present a strong old Shanghai style. There are many living items in the mahjong room, and the scenery is full, so the curtains are pulled up to cover the scenery outside the window, and the overall appearance is not so messy.
Shen's mother walked into the mahjong room with four bowls of wontons. At this time, she used a back-to-back camera. The camera's point of view slowly moved to the front of the card table. A medium shot explained the characters on the card table, while Shen's mother drew .
The camera followed the four bowls of wontons, and the camera went through a panning motion and finally landed on the wontons on the table, but the camera position was low. Immediately afterwards cut to a close-up of the hand. The first long shot was completed in one go. The limited time and scenes created a cheerful atmosphere without losing the sense of mystery.
Mrs. Ma's polite remarks held Mr. Liang's hand, and the exquisite ladies did not forget to respect each other even if they were family chatters. A few close-up shots show their faces.
I really like the character setting of Mrs. Yi, she seems to know the whole situation from the director's perspective. After a while, she fired at Mrs. Ma.
A joke from Mrs. Liang stopped the war without gunsmoke, and a panorama gave us time to catch our breath. A good director is able to accurately control the rhythm of each shot to drive the audience's emotions. The audience's emotional fluctuations and attention are unconsciously controlled by the film.
After the intermission, the camera mainly focused on close-ups, and the rhythm of switching became faster, and the topic made Mrs. Ma even more embarrassed. Mrs. Ke Yi still plays a role in controlling the field, and her calm expression in the face of danger has forced the other three to a passive state.
The following zoom serves Mrs. Yi's lines. When the cue comes to Mrs. Mai, the focus will be given to Mrs. Mai, and vice versa, it will be given to Mrs. Ma, which also depicts Mrs. Yi's dominant position.
The drunkard's intention is not to drink, and the wives play mahjong in a friendly manner on the surface, but in fact they are far away from each other.
What are the two important and necessary roles of the opening scene? One is to grab the audience's attention. The second is to let the audience understand the relationship between the first event and the story line. This event allows the story to run, and suspense is thrown to raise the interest in watching the movie. Ang Lee adds to the fun with the ingenious mise-en-scene in the fixed space. Use lines to promote the plot while showing the arc of the characters, causing the audience to be addicted to grabbing information and details (that is, eating melons), achieving emotional delay
