A person with a video camera stands on the camera. Relying on the camera, a new era will come. Like a grand concert, it is gaining momentum. Musicians are tuning their instruments, and people with cameras are tuning their machines. The opening narrative is clear, as if it's just a guy with a video camera filming a concert. With the continuous progress of the symphony, the main body of the entire documentary will slowly unfold. Divide into three parts. Sleeping people in a quiet city: young young women sleeping; people lying on chairs by the road; homeless people curled up on the stone monument in the park; various dolls placed in the shop windows; various public facilities on the road; walls The poster on... People woke up and the city regained its due vitality: the young woman opened the shutters and opened her eyes, the opening and closing of the shutters, the closing of the eyes and the opening and closing of the camera lens constitute a metaphor: the eyes are like watching The shutters of the world, while the camera functions as an eye; the hectic urban life is reflected in the many production lines and the dense constantly turning gears. When expressing the daily life of people in the former Soviet Union, Vertov used a lot of brilliant expressions: such as a strong contrast between the connotations of the picture: tears and laughter, the dead and the new life, marriage and divorce... These are all recorded by the camera, but Will be forgotten in the end, these bland elements of life have an indescribable shock under the contrast of the camera and Vertov's editing; the panorama shot through the reflection of the glass; the constant switching between the negative and the recorded image; The different time and space of the same scene; the frame-by-frame stitching of the pictures; the recording of the subject and the photographer; the symmetrical rotation of the scene... and so on, all make people feel refreshing, as if Liszt's virtuoso piano music made what could be achieved at that time. The production of special effects and the expression of connotation are displayed at a glance. As a work with strong documentary and ambiguity, in the historical background of the former Soviet Union at that time, it exudes a fragrant fragrance that only belongs to that era. Although the whole film has no subtitles, no narration, no specific event characters, only black and white pictures, it seems that the shooting is random and scattered, but it can record the real life of that era from the perspective of God, and express the spirit of the times. Essence. There are cameras at the beginning and at the end, and even at the end the cameras are humanized: seeing the world through the eyes of the cameras. This echoes the title: The person with the camera. This leads people to think: what is the person with the camera like? What is his significance to this society?
The above is a post-reading homework that I saved five years ago.
Now think about it, if the current artificial intelligence image algorithm results are presented in a film (or other forms), it should also be a very interesting work.
