Foreword: How Wild Directors Make Feature Films

Gayle 2022-01-22 08:02:24

In recent years, I have watched several movies adapted from life itself, almost pseudo-documentaries, such as Zhao Ting's "Knight" and Denmark's "Uncle" in 19, which have achieved results in major film festivals. In my opinion, "May Blue Sky" is of this kind. There is not much difference between the characters in the movie scene and the real life, and there is no need for much capital investment.

Posters of "Knight" and "Uncle"

Ceylon's first film is "The Small Town", this one is about how to make the first feature film after returning home. He stopped and went to make videos, got along with his relatives to understand their lives, and convinced them to do it with himself. The sideline storyline is the heart of the parents’ cousin, Ali. The father is afraid that his superiors will take away his land. After his cousin resigns, he hopes to work in the city through the director. Ali hopes to have a music watch and make eggs with his aunt. There are still a few people who just complain about their lives without breaking the promise of how many days in the pocket. About these things.

When the story is there, I start shooting. The film must first be good-looking. This is what Ceylon, who has been a photographer for half his life, is best at. Ceylon's future film framing will also be very beautiful, which has won my heart. So how do you tell the story?

Excellent film selection

The same story, told by different people, has different effects. Many people say that Ceylon’s storytelling is a bit like Lao Pagoda and Abbas, and I can’t figure out the style of Lao Pagoda. Many outstanding ancestors have done a good look. This allows us to follow the rules and slowly explore our own style. This is one of the benefits. I have a lot of friends who like to shoot movies. When they shoot a certain place, they have to say that it has to be the same as which passage in which movie. These people are a little bit unlearned. To learn to be a director is to learn how to tell a story.

I have read a lot of books about making movies, and I feel that it is not very helpful to me. What's more important is to watch more excellent movies and try to shoot as much as possible on my own. Give up at a critical time, not just rely on enthusiasm, but rational analysis.

As far as this is concerned, Ceylon’s shots are natural and simple, but some have delicate designs. For example, this father needs to get up when he hears the sound of a car. Both the photo and the real person are more obvious. So the first step is to learn to design the lens.

The camera before the father got up

The lens is mostly fixed or fixed. This is the basic way for directors who have no money to make a film. The key is to shake the meaning. Ceylon once suggested to young directors in an interview: shoot more material. It is estimated that Ceylon also took a lot of pictures at that time, and I know when to put it in. The words and deeds of the characters are also slow, and these together form the rhythm of the film: slow. Beginners don't know how to control the rhythm of the movie, so it is better to slow down at the beginning, so that it is easy to control. So the second step is to control the rhythm of the movie.

The film mainly shows the feelings of hometown and family, so we should also avoid the emergence of new characters and new events that distract the emotions of the film.

For young people who are keen on filming, having a tellable story and being able to tell the story in a rhythmic and complete way with clever and beautiful lenses is success.
