This is a film review that is not like a film review.
I accidentally saw Kodak slides on Taobao before. A piece of film in a white frame with Kodak's red lettering was sold for 2-6 yuan. At that time, I was very curious how this kind of photo was taken. A few months later, I happened to find the answer in this show. In fact, the camera used is the same as the ordinary film machine. The film used is Kodak Cramm film. It should be just the final printing method and the different projection method.
The framing, tone and composition of the play are really pleasing to the eye, and the background music is just right.
People used to shoot to record life, to stop time and freeze in that moment. Nowadays, the popularization of digital cameras allows people to take photos anytime and anywhere. There is no thoughtful composition in the frame. The original film needs a lot of post-painting, the shutter becomes cheap, and the photo doesn't have a sense of ritual. So now many bloggers will buy film machines for posing, or share some ccd with everyone, so that the film machines will be in front of the public again.
It is difficult to judge whether the emergence of digital cameras is positive or negative for film machines. How could people at that time think that the final outcome of a company like Kodak was actually forgotten by the times. This is a bit like the decline of traditional paper media. Every time I see a bookstore closes or a newsstand is ruined, I feel uncomfortable regrets.
I hope that no matter what era we are in, we can retain the original sense of ritual for film, newspaper, and CD in our hearts. Don't be overwhelmed by the overwhelming short videos and hot searches of real-time updates.
——Time may take away the traces of the past, but you can choose to keep it.
Finally, let's enjoy some photos at the end of the play.
