Montage Cross Narrative
The film is mainly divided into two parts: the performance of the concert and the part outside the concert. In this way, each member of the band is introduced one by one, and the band life and daily life of each member are described in detail. Although it seems to be loose, such a sense of interlaced time and space emphasizes the fluidity of music and more completely reflects the spiritual concept of Cuban music integrating into life. The intersection of montages is equivalent to illustrating the same event or concept from multiple perspectives. Under the premise of clear structure, rational use of montage can help the audience better understand the narrative. In addition, this narrative method is more appropriate to the rhythm of the music, full of imagination, allowing the audience to enter the plot more easily.
Follow and capture
Follow-up is the movement of the camera with the subject, reflecting the protagonist's demeanor and emotions in the movement. The method of follow-up allows the protagonist to face the camera more naturally and easily enter his own life. The film also used documentary techniques, such as interviewing Cuban musicians on the streets of New York at night, using follow-up shots. It can be seen that the demeanor of the subject was perfectly captured by the camera, emphasizing the dynamics of the characters, and effectively showing the night scene of New York Street.
Snapshots are also used a lot in this film. Especially in the scene of the performance at the concert, the camera captured the details and expressions of the performers. When the music appeared, the smiles of the performers and the concentration of the performers were all recorded. Edited according to the rhythm of the music, these performances appear as smooth and natural as water.
Rotating Sports Lens
In this film, the motion shots expressed by rotating around the subject are very evident. This way of expression can clearly show the overall characteristics of the subject. At the same time, the relationship between multiple subjects, the subject and the surrounding environment can be emphasized. Under the background of music, this kind of rotating shooting not only does not appear impetuous, but also can be integrated into the rhythm of the music, bringing a viewing experience like flowing water.
feel
This is a touching music documentary, in which a group of happy old musicians show the world the great roots of Cuban music, and set off a Cuban music boom in the world. This group of Cuban artists, long forgotten and neglected, has been brought up again with the hot sale of the movie and the release of the album CD. The world seems to wake up from sleep, see and hear Cuba again, and understand the moving charm of Cuban music.
Listening to their songs, you can feel the sunshine, and there is a touch of innate sadness in the warmth, making people feel as if they are in Havana, and the sea breeze is blowing with heat waves.
The rhythm of this documentary seems to be sloppy, but the structure is quite clear. All the members of the orchestra appear one after another, and the form of self-report and performance is interspersed to build this precious reunion. No band has ever faced the same problems as them: the members of the band are 90 years old when they were first established, and despite the hardships in their lives, music is still their most important way of expressing, and they can hear the flavors of life in their songs.
