Scene 1: In 1900, the Sims kid was born on Independence Day, and Dad thought his son would be known to the world.

Highlights of the pull tab: Dad's excited expression standing in front of the mirror, in which the doctors and nurses are busy. Saying "I'll give him every chance"

Time lapse transitions with push to dominoes

Time stands still in 1912

The second scene: The children discussed their future ideals and careers with each other. Johnny said that he wanted to be a big man. During the conversation the ambulance came and Johnny's mother passed away.

The key points of the pull: 1. Use a dreamy panoramic composition, which just echoes the word "dream". 2. The composition of the stairs with expressionism, the time-lapse montage of the stairs that can't be completed for more than ten seconds, shows Johnny's uneasy mood, a reality that a 12-year-old child can't face.

Note the card, so did Lincoln and Washington

Look at the trees under the children's feet and in the background, so unreal and magical, like a projection in a mirror

The carriage that suddenly rushed out, the soundtrack also became rapid

Parallel montage, feeling rushing towards the children

Johnny's gate where the carriage with the cross is parked, crowded crowdd

expressionist composition

Crowd after the stretcher

It took more than ten seconds to reach the stairs, time-lapse montage

Here we understand the role of time-lapse montage, let us feel the inner world of Johnny at this time

Scene 3: 21-year-old Johnny becomes a cog in the megalopolis of New York, but he still wants to be better, despite his many ties.

Highlights of the pull tab: 1. The super-metropolis crowd is displayed with overprinting. 2. Use a camera to climb up the skyscraper and superimpose it into a small window, from thousands of workstations to the camera to Johnny's workstation.

Word card transitions, one in 7 million in New York, feel that they can't do it without them

The central axis that seems to be connected to the sky actually separates johnny from the metropolis

the crowd reappears

Overprinting crowds coming to New York

Cut to show that people have to race against the clock in the upper left corner, which is around twelve thirty-seven

Continuous use of fusion lenses to show that the streets of New York are full of people at any time

Using 'authoritarian' overprint footage, people appear to be walking in cars

The big panoramic shot, you are like ants, quickly switching between the street scene of New York and the ship on the river, even the ship is only this size

Shooting the camera upside down, the camera rotates at this time, giving people the feeling of dizziness

Cut the lens, the lens climbs up, which is the original intention of montage

Massive soundtrack, sky-high office buildings and patios

Cut the lens and shoot the small windows upwards, so depressed, the lens continues to climb

Long shot, climb to parallel position

From one of the small lit windows, the overprint enters

The camera continues to move forward

The long shot is finally pushed to Johnny's desk

Close up of his job number

Johnny at his desk scratching his head

Close-up, he continues to dream of his own success

close-up again

Johnny beaming, thinking he might win the lottery

continue closeup

Are we like millers?

until 5 o'clock

Close the book and get ready to run off work

The ants running in the panorama, the background music begins to rush

people running out

Subjective shot, following Johnny as he pushes open the door to tidy up the dressing room?

Before the camera breaks, Johnny starts to dress up, and the background music starts to rhythm cheerfully.

A very pleasant feeling of jazz

The brothers started to greet him, and a total of four groups came to talk to him

Once again it shows that everyone is the same, and no one is different

The last bro comes and asks him to meet the girls and bring out the next scene

Johnny said he had to work hard in class and not go

Crowd back in reverse

to take the countless elevators downstairs

Continue to the left after the crowd goes downstairs

The little fat man continued to persuade Johnny

people walking out of the building

The two who went to the appointment

Girls come out of the door, and gentlemen come out of the door
