Welcome to the new age of film

When we talk about high frame rates, what are we picking about.

Cameron has previously stated that it is very likely to use a higher frame rate to shoot Avatar, and PJ is the first step. The first 48fps movie will be released at a moment when many people still don't know the meaning of the term.

In order to avoid trouble, I first tell you that the main point of the full text is to support HFR (High Frame Rate/High Frame Rate/here 48fps). Friends who are not interested in this topic can click on the useful button below and turn off the small cross on the upper right. NS. [Primary school Chinese is so good]

Since its premiere, various media have begun to trample HFR to death. I really have to talk about my personal feelings.

Summarize the major issues about HFR:
1. Too real, cheap, not like a movie.
2. The contrast is obviously problematic, so it is not too bright or not too dark
. 3. The problems of the scene and makeup look like fake and inferior.

From the simplest point of view, the picky about the contrast mainly comes from the trial screening of CinemaCon, and it is still uncertain. Did you adjust the contrast afterwards, but judging from the screening effect, I didn't feel much problem, as the brightness change of the ground and underground during the day and night is considered natural. And more importantly, as a 169-minute movie that requires light and dark switching, HFR 3D has indeed fulfilled PJ’s original promise. This is a relatively relaxed 3D effect that will not bring too much to the eyes. Fatigue.

Then there are the scenes and makeup issues. This question is a bit logical. Ten thousand steps back and said, even if all kinds of weapons and equipment look like toys, even if the nose of some dwarf looks fake, even if the whole scene feels like a stage play, shouldn't the first reaction be to sharpen the knife to make up the set. The film critics are not at all ambiguity, and directly killed the momentum of HFR. This makes people have to change clothes a bit. Isn't the critics really demonizing HFR?

With regard to the technological revolution, people always bring the hostility of a scourge like a scourge that robots are about to dominate humans. Technology will not destroy movies, but lack of creativity, lack of thinking, dare not to innovate and dare not to move forward. In the eyes of film critics, the so-called 48FPS causes these problems mainly because it is too real, and it overlaps with the last problem, so let's put it together below.

Okay, I finally got to the point of this article. You read that right, this article is actually focused.

When news came out that the Hobbit was filming, a word began to appear all over the mountains: Return to Middle-earth. In my opinion, the meaning of these four words is this. Through the big screen, all people can step on the soft ground, can ride to the distance on horseback, can breathe the air and tension, wholeheartedly. Take an adventure. HFR 3D brings this kind of experience.

Let’s start with a digression. When I went to see the rise of the guardian, a large group of children happened to be sitting right in front of me. When Jack Frost popped a piece of ice at the end of the film, all the children stood up and grabbed it with their hands. I think this is the truth of the movie. The truth of the movie is not the truth that you can experience in real life. The truth of the movie is to make people immersed in it, allowing people to believe that it is true in that short two hours.

LA Times and AP used a term called traditional film when criticizing the Hobbit. Yes, this is certainly not a traditional movie, this is progress, this is development, this is a brand new revolution. HFR 3D greatly improves the overall picture details. Behind these details, it brings the entire Middle Earth. This is also the core of HFR, which clearly shows the blurry shots before, and the middle-earth paved with details is even more breathtakingly beautiful. The film does not deliberately unfold a more real world, a more tangible world, a more exciting world.

I really don't understand the true meaning of the film critic population. I just want to say that movies can give people a deep understanding of how small the world we live in, but the world that exists in our minds and can be created is much larger. If movies can bring these worlds to people's eyes, it would be wonderful.

Before I was born, the film was born long ago. The first 3D film, the first color film in China, and the first color film in China, all failed to catch up for the first time. However, this time I really got on the train for the first time a high frame rate movie was shown in a movie theater. Before the movie started, someone applauded in the movie theater after sitting down, and at the end I sat until the subtitles ended. At that moment, I was thinking, hey. , This is really a new era.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey quotes

  • Bilbo Baggins: I have... I have never used a sword in my life.

    Gandalf: And I hope you never have to. But if you do, remember this: true courage is about knowing not when to take a life, but when to spare one.

  • Dori: Mr. Gandalf, can't you do something about this deluge?

    Gandalf: It is raining, Master dwarf, and it will continue to rain until the rain is done. If you wish to change the weather of the world, you should find yourself another wizard.

    Bilbo Baggins: Are there any?

    Gandalf: What?

    Bilbo Baggins: Other wizards?

    Gandalf: There are five of us. The greatest of our order is Saruman the White. And then there are the two Blue Wizards... You know, I've quite forgotten their names.

    Bilbo Baggins: And the fifth?

    Gandalf: Well, that would be Radagast the Brown.

    Bilbo Baggins: Is he a great wizard, or is he more like you?

    Gandalf: Well, I think he is a very great wizard... in his own way. He's a gentle soul who prefers the company of animals for others. He keeps a watchful eye over the vast forest lands to the East, and a good thing too. For always evil will look to find a foothold in this world.
