foreword

This film has been released in our country. As a further reading material, we translate the creative explanations of the film's main creators: the photographer and the artist, so that the reader can understand more clearly how the creator's intention is gradually realized. It is rare to find analytical articles about the photographer and the artist of a film at the same time. If the reader has a better understanding of the conception and creation of other main creative personnel other than the screenwriter and director, it will be more helpful to deeply understand all aspects of a film.

In foreign film production, especially for feature films on commercial distribution networks, not only photography is important, but also artists and the cooperation between artists and other majors is also very important. I remember that when I introduced the role of foreign artists to the class 78 of Beijing Film Academy, the students in the art department were both excited and discouraged. Because in the production of feature films in China, artists do not like to pay attention to it. If you don't pay attention to the tradition of art, how can you do it overnight, saying that you want to make a high-cost movie? Short of money? Even if you give money, it will not be spent. Because the director will not play the role of the artist, and the artist will not spend the money allocated to him. You might as well watch the TV series "Big Air Combat". The director is a graduate of the Fine Arts Department of Beijing Film Academy, but if you look at the artists in that film, it's not a question of money, but a question of whether you understand the artists. Why didn't the comments point this out? Comments are never taken seriously. We often say that you can't see an artist in a TV show. I hope readers will take this opportunity to examine the role of photography and art in a feature film.

At the end of this film analysis, we have attached the introduction of the main creators and the creation chronology. This is a useful research method. By knowing a creator's range of work, we can see his style, and by knowing who they often work with, whether it's a director or a photographer or an artist, we can more easily find the style of that work. For example, we see from the director's chronology that he turned out to be an editor, so it can be expected that editing is likely to be his forte. Most of the works of photographer Kovacs belong to the New York School, so we know that he has artistic pursuits, because this is the characteristic of the New York School. For example, Taxi Driver is a work of the New York School. And the New York School didn't get much development because it didn't have the ability to build its own distribution agency, and because it didn't have much of an audience that liked it or appreciated it. As for artist Silbert, he is one of the major chief designers in Hollywood today.
