- Audio-visual language and style
At the beginning of the film, with the sound of rippling water and the sound of rowing water, a small boat slowly entered the camera under the blue sky and lake water. Under the action of the dark tones of the picture, it gives a very quiet and peaceful feeling.
From the musical point of view of the film, the musical sound of the film "Luna" has always been dominated by soothing piano accompaniment. At the beginning of the film, the music became more and more melodious. The three generations of grandparents rowed boats on the blue lake, and then the camera was cut to the top, and the boats appeared very small in the dark blue sea. The music continued, and then until the lights of the film dimmed, the grandfather and grandson sat quietly on the boat, waiting for the moon to come out. At this time, the music stopped and began to sound produced by a series of actions of the little boy and his father and grandfather themselves. Then when the moon rises in the film, the music sounds again, which is more powerful than at the beginning. This is also the important role of the music to set off the atmosphere of the picture. Then at the end of the film, the music returns to the same soothing sound it had at the beginning, echoing each other. The music of this film also has the effect of rendering the atmosphere.
From the film's color point of view, the film can be divided into two parts. The colors of the first part are mainly dark tones, including the dark blue night sky and sea water, as if to be integrated. In addition, the character's dressing style is also dominated by dark and cool colors, this is the overall feeling that the first part brings to people. The colors of the second part are mainly warm tones, because the moon gradually emerges from the water, and the film needs to show the brightness of the moon, so most of the pictures are mainly warm yellow, and the moon formed by the stars in the film does emit light. Shining with dazzling light, the purpose of this is to highlight the theme more, bring visual impact to the audience, and increase the influence of the picture. In addition, the moon itself is a symbol of beauty and purity in people's hearts. In the film, the director made the moon shine with flickering light, which is also in line with the emotional value of the audience itself.
Talking about the language of the characters in the movie. The movie "Luna" doesn't have much modification on the sound elements, but only through some more vivid sound elements to give some foil and modification to the picture. The film comprehensively reflects the development of the plot and content of this animated short film through image elements and sound elements in the film language. This non-literal language also brings a lot of visual sense to the audio-visual world. For example, the way in which the grandfather and the father of the child speak, gives the impression that their words are true. When a child is talking, he lowers his head and makes a little noise, which gives a child's unique innocence and the feeling of not being valued by adults when speaking. In the movie clips, although the dialogue between the three protagonists is very abstract, the inner activities of the characters can also be expressed from their dialogues. These are all self-expressions. First, its language fully expresses the inner emotions of the characters. In the film, the dialogue between the three generations of father and son has been going on, which reflects the inner emotions of the characters in abstract language. Second: Build character. In the film, the three generations of father and son's speeches all reflect the unique character characteristics of the characters.
In terms of audio-visual language, the audio-visual and sensory aspects of the movie "Luna" complement each other. Although its sound language is not too much modified and numerous, the proper use of sound language makes this film very appealing to watch. people. A film, if it is only a purely visual picture, without the assistance of sound, will not be satisfied for the audience. Therefore, the movie "Lunar God" creates a very rich world for the audience in terms of visual sense, and at the same time, it also connects just right in terms of sound effects, so as to achieve a complete combination of audition and listening with both pictures and sound. Art.
Judging from the shooting methods of the film, most of the films use fixed shots, the purpose of which is to give people a very stable feeling, and to create a real feeling, and the use of fixed shots can also make the narration process. Slow down the pace and lengthen the narrative of the story.
Finally, from a thematic point of view, the theme of this film is heritage. Because the characters that appeared at the beginning of the film are the three generations of grandparents, and the three generations of grandparents have always passed on the name "Moon God". At the end of the film, when the grandfather and father were helpless with the huge star in front of him, the little boy was alone. One person climbed to the top of the stars, and easily shattered the big star into countless small stars. When the film reaches this point, the whole picture becomes brighter, and the theme of the film is very clear at this time. The wisdom of the little boy and the way of dealing with problems fully demonstrate that the blue is better than the blue.
From the aesthetics of the film, there is also a lot to think about in this film.
The distinctive feature of Pixar animation is that the characters have exaggerated shapes. The purpose of this is to impress and differentiate the audience. But the exaggeration of Pixar animation is not blind exaggeration. In its image, some characteristics of the characters can be vaguely realized.
Judging from the film "Lunar God", the characters in it also have exaggerated shapes, but they also reflect some of the characters' personalities. For example, the grandfather of the little boy, he has a long beard, covering his eyes, and long eyebrows, including when he communicates with the little boy, he all gives the feeling of a wise man. Look at the little boy's father again, he is very tall and powerful, with a big body and a small body proportion, giving him the image of a mindless strong man, plus he only uses brute force to deal with the huge stars, I don't know how to use it. The technical solution fully shows that his mind is very simple. Finally, there is the little boy, the image of the little boy is the only one of the three characters with his eyes exposed, his father and grandpa's eyes are covered by eyebrows, only he has watery eyes, and In the film, the director made the little boy's eyes very big, which looks very aura. In addition, at the end of the film, when facing the huge stars, the little boy was helpless and came up with the best solution. , These can fully show that the image of the little boy is a very aura very intelligent boy.
Then analyze the visual effects and screen composition of the film. Most of the visual effects of the film are dominated by dark blue, including the sea and sky. Because the name of the film is "Moon God", it must be related to "Moon". As we all know, generally in the middle of the night, the moon will hang high in the center of the night sky, and the color of the night is of course dark blue. The director integrated the sea and the night sky into one, and also wanted to express the tranquility of the environment at that time. The visual effect is a feeling of expanse.
In the film, the composition of the picture is also very important. For example, the proportions of the picture composition can clearly explain to the audience what is the subject in a picture, what is important, and what is the meaning you want to express. For example, in the film "Lunar God", when the moon slowly rises from the sea, the moon occupies two-thirds of the whole picture. At this time, the characters and ships in the picture are very obvious. Small, thus reflecting the importance of the moon.
Moreover, from the film, the details can also read a lot of symbolism. For example, at the beginning of the film, the little boy is sitting on a boat with his grandfather and father. He watches what his father and grandfather do, and he imitates them. This shows that the little boy at that time did not have his own thoughts. He only knew how to imitate blindly, but he didn't know what he was going to do. He only thought that what his grandfather and father did was correct, so he just imitated blindly. , so as not to know how to find out. Also, the eyes of the little boy's father and grandfather were invisible at first, until the little boy climbed to the top of the stars and tapped, and sprinkled countless bright little stars, then the eyes of grandfather and father were revealed. , This fully shows that at the beginning, the grandfather and father could not see the potential of the little boy himself, until he showed it, they realized that the little boy was no longer the old man, Those who do not have their own ideas and opinions, it means that they have seen the ability of the little boy, and they have some sense of surprise and joy. Then there is when grandpa and father put a hat on the little boy, grandpa thinks it is good to wear it, father thinks it is good to wear it that way, the two keep arguing, and then when the little boy climbs to the top of the star, he pushes the hat to the back, This shows that the little boy broke away from the shackles his father and grandfather gave him, and found his own unique way. Moreover, when the father and grandfather choose tools for the little boy in the film, the tools they choose are also in line with their own beards, which shows that they are all self-centered and feel that their own is the right one. What the little boy needs for himself, what is suitable for him. Therefore, the existence of these details also makes this movie have a lot of pondering.
Although the film "Luna" is only seven minutes long, every detail needs careful consideration and serious consideration, and the truth and ideological themes contained in it also need to be carefully pondered and considered. There are many places worth learning in form, the plot is simple but profound, and this is where this film succeeds.
