The mise-en-scene "The Band Visits" is a film with a high-quality and delicate texture and a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. The director skillfully used unique camera usage and scene scheduling, such as a sonata played in a bland life, and restrained the indescribable loneliness and loneliness, understanding and alienation, warmth and sadness of different characters in different situations. , manifested incisively and vividly. The film begins in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, with blue sky, empty roads, old buildings, symmetrical composition with perfect proportions, light and melodious soundtrack and light-textured filters, a large number of warm-toned empty shots. The stacking and jumping cuts the whole film with a seemingly calm coat, creating a leisurely slow-paced atmosphere, making people feel like being in it, and opening a channel to integrate the audience's emotions into the film. The camera pans to the right, and the policemen enter the painting one after another, dragging boxes towards the dilapidated building. The sense of calm is highlighted, and all emotions are buried in the ground quietly, prompting the audience to feel more urgent in a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. Explore and excavate the deep emotions beneath the coat, and as the plot progresses, complete a different journey to a foreign country. In an unfamiliar land, the musicians in a foreign land are erratic like kites with broken strings in the sky, full of romantic atmosphere. When the captain and Tina are on the park bench, the camera position and the light change many times, which is very stylized. When the two began to talk initially, a small panoramic symmetrical composition was formed. A beam of top light was softly sprinkled, which was like a barrier to isolate the two from the world. The two figures performed in the dark, but the audience on the stage was empty. One person, the atmosphere of loneliness arises spontaneously. They seem to exist alone where the light is shrouded. With the high-frequency changes of the lens focus and the camera position, the straight shot is quickly transformed into an overhead shot, and then changed into a back shot from a prying perspective, and even an experimental oblique perspective was finally adopted. The street lights in the park are separated from the camera and the captain With Tina, the slightly depressing composition invisibly predicts the direction of the relationship between the two, attracting each other but worrying about each other. And when they looked at the camera in a little panic, they seemed to meet the eyes of the audience outside the venue, welcoming the gazes from all directions, without too strong eroticism, nor too strong melancholy, it is this kind of insipidity that is the reason for this The highly romantic conversation adds a bit of illusory blur to the elusive, and pushes the hazy, just-ending ambiguity to its peak. Under this plain and peaceful shell, everyone's emotional expression is like a trickle in a rock, suppressing and slowly overflowing. When Khalid, Papi, and cousin sat side by side, a subtle magnetic field hit the mind directly through the screen. The neon-like use of light and shadow fills the entire scene with an illusory sense of unreality, golden yellow The colored lights are surging behind the three of them layer by layer. The soundtrack has a unique emphasis on exotic flavors, and it is wild and wild in the ethereal. It is worth mentioning that the three of them did not have a line in the whole process, and they seemed to say lines. , perhaps words, a superfluous appendage. In the last scene of the scene, Khalid's silver-white ribbon hangs down, forming a contrast between him and the two kissing each other in a split composition. There is fusion and unity in the split. Drunk, naturally, presents Khalid as a stranger, a halfway entrant, a cynical playboy, the loneliness and inaudible melancholy that arises in this situation. The musicians who are intruders, when they visit this peaceful place by accident, have all kinds of encounters that are full of irony, but also warmth, sadness and loneliness. When they were about to leave, Tina's bright smile seemed to be a different scene in the minds of the captain and Harid. The position of the three-person picture level here is also very intriguing. The leader is located in the center of the picture, and then advances forward, back and forth between Harid and Tina, and the rest of the band members in the background gradually blurred until only There were vague shadows left, as if only the three of them were left in the entire fantasy journey. The sandstorm rises with the melodious soundtrack, and the graininess and the indescribable complex emotions between the three are expressed to the extreme in a forbearance and restraint way. The emotion of restraint and forbearance is incomparably reflected in this seemingly healing film. As an intruder from a foreign land, whether it is language and culture, or the subtle and complex emotions between people, like a stream running through a ravine. , which makes the whole film unconventional and memorable. The position of the layers is also very intriguing. The captain is in the center of the picture, and then advances forward, playing back and forth between Khalid and Tina, and the rest of the band members in the background are gradually blurred, until only the blurry remains. Shadow, as if there were only three of them left in the entire fantasy journey. The sandstorm rises with the melodious soundtrack, and the graininess and the indescribable complex emotions between the three are expressed to the extreme in a forbearance and restraint way.
