Talking about the use of the lens from the point of view of the Bourne

It is much harder to give a bad review to a movie than to give a good review. Since the negative reviews are made public, on the one hand, we must be able to convince readers and audiences, and on the other hand, we must be able to convince ourselves, especially for my favorite movies, such as the Bourne series.

Bourne Shadow 5, or Bourne 5, will be launched in China on August 23. I started listening to the new ost one week in advance. The extreme ways of moby are more dynamic than the previous three, and it is cool and enough to surpass the level of fast food. The feeling of hardcore, even if I listen to it now, I am excited.

But this film is the only one that excites me.

A brief review: the first film of the Bourne Shadow series was released in 2002, and the fifth film has been released since then, which has gone through 14 years. The style characteristics of the first three parts basically have a process of changing the rhythm of the whole film from slow to urgent. The rhythm of the action scenes is getting faster and faster, and the development of the action design to the third Ultmatum can be called the culmination. The fourth legacy was the most controversial one, because there was no Bourne himself, the main creative team was different from the other four games, and the pace slowed down again. What remains the same is to maintain the consistent sense of oppression in the Bourne series. (I personally think that this is the soul of Bourne-style spy movies). And the fifth part is this Bourne 5, and the degree of controversy can replace the fourth.

The change in the style of Bourne 1 to Bourne 3 reflects the change in Hollywood filmmakers’ understanding of action movies from 2002 to 2007. Bourne 1 is relatively old fashion. There is a kind of unhurried tempo of late-century movies. By Bourne 3, it has been dizzying. The reputation of this series of so-called hand-held camera shake lens is also established in this way. . When I arrived at Bourne 4, the rhythm suddenly slowed down again. This feeling of filling old wine in a new bottle obviously made me feel uncomfortable, but it made me feel that the main creative team felt like the soul of the Bourne series-just that kind of uncool but not dazzling. A sense of oppression that is pressing step by step-a kind of obsession. When I arrived at Bourne 5, all kinds of big heads were plastered on the screen, and there was a real sense of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors. If they were in the Deyun Society, they would definitely be removed from the genealogy. So in my mind, the one who really inherited the mantle of the Bourne series is Bourne 4legacy instead of Bourne 5.

Speaking of Bourne 5 dog-tailed mink, mainly from the action scene. The biggest reason not to mention the plot is that the plot of action movies, especially spy movies, is originally all kinds of brain holes. It is meaningless to fill the brain holes. It is better to look at the value of the face directly (well, no matter how I spray it, I also Love to watch the Swedish bitch smash).

As mentioned earlier, Bourne 3's lens is applied to the highest level. A scene at the waterloo station lasted for 14 minutes, and the people watching were thrilling with sweaty palms, which can be called a textbook of similar scene handling techniques. Speaking of Bourne's action scenes, in a sense it is the use of cameras. It is difficult to say that the big close-ups of Bourne 5 are too bad, so I will take the shots of Bourne 3 frame by frame to illustrate what is good about Bourne 3, and correspondingly, where is bad of Bourne 5. (95p)

Byrne played. This is the only close-up of the face, but...

Immediately turn to the eye close-up, the purpose is to show the character's psychology

Exterior view of the train.

Even more open, the first three games have this kind of typical scene, a great bird's-eye view shot.

The reporter appears, please pay attention to basically maintain the relative position of the golden section of 2/3, the background is clear

The perspective and proportion of the cia reporter in the close-up view indicate the weakness of the audience reporter.

Similarly, no facial close-ups, very natural

The cia director is directing. Character composition is full of 16:9 frame

The golden section, pay attention to the light spilt on your head, feel comfortable.

Oh oh oh! waterloo station! This scene is here.

1A set of pictures is here. Bourne got out of the car, how can I shoot without a close-up? Just shoot like this.

11 pictures, out of the station is complete. Without shallow depth of field, the faces of passersby are clearer than Berne

This light...If this screenshot is a real photo, you can win a photography award.

The blur is taken like this

Foreground reporter, background Byrne. What to do?

prepaid phone, this is a necessary close-up, explaining the key actions

Where is Byrne? The black silk girl on the left, the middle-aged man on the right, are you messing up?

Byrne is just one of them. Greatly hidden in the city.

Unlucky blue hood. The depth of field is not shallow, even the map on the stop sign can be distinguished

Still blue hood, direct perspective, although hand-held shooting, the composition is just as exquisite

The side faces face to face, this is for fear that the audience will miss this detail.

The face on the left is clear, and the stop map is clearer than the front, just not afraid to use a large depth of field.

Byrne monitors the whole process. The composition is also exquisite, the car enters the station from the left. So small

Same as above, close-ups show key actions.

The environment can be seen clearly, and the universe is in broad daylight.

The reporter knew how great he was and began to listen to Bourne's words. Byrne is in the shadow behind. Also look at the composition

Continuing the picture above, looking at the reporter from Bourne's point of view, Bourne is the dark shadow on the left.

Asset approach, composition and angle, the picture surrounded by car windows feels slightly subtle.

Still don't know who the reporter talked to and what to say, helpless brothers. I'm tired of talking about composition

The reporter officially entered the station. This was a super wide-angle followed by walking in, which was very refreshing for 1 second.

mobile team approach

The mobile team comes in. People around

asset on the way1

asset on the way 2 Isn't this a close-up yet? Not.

So many people, have you found the reporter and Byrne?

found it. What a mess. It is to make people see the chaos.

Reporter walks ahead

mobile team follow

No matter how muddy you are, you can see who is killing

Step by step

It's closer than the picture above

Byrne intervenes

Reporter walked to the left

The reporter on the left showed half of his body, and Byrne stepped into the middle to interrupt the killer on the right.

Close-up performance of key actions

mobile four is down……

Byrne guides reporters into the store

team C enters the store

Team C found that the door was locked and made a detour.

Byrne took the back road.

Dumbfounded

coming



Every action is clear

Burnt Field


Composition

Composition

Although handheld camera, but the composition is not fooled.


The action scene should let the audience see the action clearly

What if the camera is all on the face, right?


Leave the composition blank

Waiting for the bald head to come in




picking them apart...



Finally, I took a look at the camera, it seemed like an appearance in Peking Opera.

The asset gets the green light. The camera tells the audience where the gun is fired

Where to shoot the gun

The billboard says be in it......this reminder......

I stared at the horse for a long time and couldn't see it. The perspective of normal people is really invisible, reflecting the professionalism of the killer

target down

Byrne started looking for someone


I chased it all the way through handheld shooting, but there were no close-ups at all.



See or leave


Sending so many pictures is to illustrate how the lens can be used in these 14 minutes, so that all the actions and intentions of so many characters in so many indoor and outdoor scenes can be expressed clearly. It can be seen that all the close-up shots are really needed, rather than the various abuses in Bourne 5. The Bourne 3 scene shows that action movies can also have extremely rich lens language, and handheld photography can also maintain professional composition. So it is really biased to say that the Byrne series is dangling.

At the very least, the Byrne series is a spy film that focuses on reality, right? So if there are not many real visual angles of the naked eye, what is the real system? At the very least, if Burn 3 is the same as 5 with various photo shoots, and the passersby in the background are blurred or even not photographed, how does it reflect that the busiest terminal in London, the waterloo station, is a surveillance nightmare?

For a long time, there has been a saying that details determine success or failure, but where does the details reflect? The details must be reflected in the overall situation. If individual details can affect the success or failure of the overall situation, it can only show that there is a problem with the overall situation, and individual details should not be thrown away. Just like when watching movies at home, how many people will notice a few bright spots on a 4K TV panel? If we only talk about a certain detail, we are actually only seeing the part and ignoring the overall situation.

For example, when we take a picture of a tree, each leaf accounts for a small proportion of the picture. After zooming in, these leaves are the details of the tree. And if you only take a picture of a leaf, and this leaf occupies more than 80% of the area of ​​the picture, then it is already the whole picture, not the details, and the veins on the leaf are the details. If we want to represent a tree, don't always point the camera at the leaves. The overall view can reflect the pattern of a film or the pattern of a person. So what I have been thinking after watching Bourne 5 is: What happened to greengrass? what the hell?

The telephoto lens has a narrow angle of view but can better present the details of a single object, and the wide-angle lens can show more content and more different types of details. The use of a wide-angle lens is the most test of the photographer's technique, because there is too much content in the scene and it is difficult to control. It also tests the level of composition, sense of space, perspective control, light and shadow control, and so on. The amount of information in the wide-angle picture is very large, and new details may be discovered every time you repeat it. The telephoto image has a single amount of information, what else can you see from that face?

What's more, with the shooting method of the Berne series of handheld cameras, the wide-angle picture shakes less, and the telephoto picture shakes more. Therefore, the apparently speculative approach of macro shallow depth of field is extremely harmful to human eyes. When it was released in China, 3d imax was specially supplied by various sprays. I always think that if there is a problem with the lens, the difference between 3d and 2d is only fifty steps.

My hatred for the abuse of features actually originated from the second season of China on the tip of the tongue, and I never expected that it would also be placed on Bourne 5. Either Bourne 5 or Tip of the Tongue 2 is a typical negative textbook that takes the theme and volume of a symphony into a concerto. Two close-ups of the tip of the tongue, my eyes are staring at Venus, and I feel dizzy when looking at Bourne 5. All frantic close-ups, macro, shallow depth of field, are all tricks to layman's shooting, which is the rhythm of eating dumplings of meatballs every day. High-level photography and video shooting are only those with composition and a sense of space, just as composers who can write symphony are masters, and writers who can write novels are masters.

From Bourne 1’s ballpoint pen to hurt people, to Bourne 2 magazines rolled up to make weapons, to Bourne 3’s prepaid phone to avoid cia monitoring and to teach people to behave with books behind, and to Bourne 4’s sniper drone to fight wolves with bare hands. , All of them make people look at it with relish and joy. And one of the flaws in the action design of Bourne 5 is: Bourne loses the previous wisdom, and is reduced to the kind of cleverness of all the people (the spies).

The only part of the whole film that made my heart beat faster was the part where Byrne entered the venue and saw that the gunman was about to shoot and then pulled the spotlight to shine his eyes. It was also a very few places where there was no close-up. A few shots are fast but not chaotic. This way of lens processing makes the character's behavior just one shot faster than the audience's understanding at the point of time. The final effect is: Although it is obviously impossible, it is not too enjoyable to watch—not to mention the killer who can be disturbed by the spotlight and missed, just the moment the light is right It's almost impossible. If you think about it, you can understand that this is a deliberately designed bridge. Knowing that it is fake, but it is enjoyable, so is the fun of watching movies.

The only character in the whole film that surprised me was Tommy Lee Jones. Really, watching his stills and trailer footage before the release made me shudder: the old flesh on my face was about to collapse, and the so-called rhythm of one-by-one, old people couldn't do it. But as soon as he appeared in the film, the aura overwhelmed everyone, and overwhelmed all the cia directors in the first four games. And the cruel methods of dealing with troubles are also impressive. Found that the little bitch was doing a fool of herself and asked the asset to get rid of all her team. The line dialogue and plot arrangement were not pre-indicated and pre-planned, and the scene in the office building was killed directly, and the little bitch couldn't say anything because of a big dumb loss. Good-looking, happy, man is like this. In contrast, another weak chicken doesn't know how to become a director. The IQ is comparable to the president who was killed by Underwood in the House of Cards.

Many friends around me think that there are too few Bourne 1 action scenes. On the contrary, I feel that this steady rhythm is very comfortable. It represents the film style of an era and the mentality of filmmakers of an era. Of course, I may be mentally old. Now think about it again, in fact, 4legacy byrne is the development direction of the byrne series: black technology brain hole plot, simple and plain but well-planned action design. Why I like Berne is because he is not a beautiful or handsome guy or an ordinary person. He impressed me deeply by his words and deeds, and allowed me to build respect for him. It's a crown jewel.

Just like cooking, the people's mind is rough, and it doesn't matter how detailed the movie is. As we grow older, I no longer be so true to many things, because I understand one truth: to be true to things you cannot control is actually competing with yourself, which is harmful to your health. After watching Bourne 5, the sky was dark. I almost hung up a bicycle on the way home when I drove home. The only time in so many years, I reminded myself not to be too serious. I would be happy to go home and see the baby.

    As a spy movie, but trying to answer the ultimate question of philosophy: Who am I!

  • Kristin 2022-03-22 09:01:33

    It's not good-looking, the outbreak of the chaos in Bonn, the sharp action and editing, the story of solitary restraint is gone, long, fragmented, always dozing off, the tone and tone are also vulgar, the British blood is exhausted, it is completely Hollywood routine, and the character's butt is moved. Can guess what you want to do, Mission Impossible, Speedy, and 007 are the same low-quality fights and kills, lacking IQ. Entering the theater to listen to Moby's original theme song, well, give a cover, and the movie will be of the same quality as water.
