【Lens Notes】Every frame is a work of art

The intentional asymmetry of the front, middle and back scenes suggests character relationships and the use of emotional windows
The prod design of blue and deeper blue aisles can be so thoughtful
A close-range footstep + wheelchair comparison pushed all the way to the distant view of the sparkling lake. The lens design of Liu Yin Hua Ming You Village is beautiful.

blue and red
Sunglasses can tell a lot of stories, Quentin also used
Crane is absolutely impossible. First of all, Niu thought of using Crane instead of a head-up perspective to show the relationship between the car and the person. The yellow cab and the dismal other two cars, prod design, are immediately contrasted. All the way down to medium and then I remember turning a circle
The use and rack focus of this mirror?
Takeyuki Kitano 3 shades of blue echo mirror
The classic limited space is partial to the golden section. The picture of Takeshi Kitano is not completely symmetrical, but it is just right for mild obsessive-compulsive disorder/picture cleanliness
In the middle of the relationship between the characters, there is a painting that stands out immediately. A closer look at their costume also echoes the painting.
The limited space stacked Arhat shot also uses this depression angle. The corner on the left is very beautiful.
layer by layer space
Another layer of glass is added to see people in the camera. There are many lenses in this frame.
Uncle Wheelchair always looks for inspiration in beautiful places
Every time I do the processing and editing of the painting, I am very impressed. Dolly starts from the details of the painting and gradually reveals that it is a painting. Then I take the relationship between the painting and people to explore the dialogue and echo between the two subjects.
The costume design and prod design are really amazing. The three red echoes and the male and female lead blue + red suits are involuntarily comfortable.
The thought of master shooting everything from this angle is already very stunningly brave
Why does the cat listen to him?
costume again - the tie should also echo the grass color of the dog's tail behind
The finishing touch behind the character relationship
Classic Smile Shot
The details of the painting and the bgm of Hisaishi are very pioneering, I don't know how to do it technically
The pillar that insists on the golden section in the clutter, but the heroine straddles the golden section line and shows the bond between the characters. The seemingly cluttered table is actually well planned out, realistic and coordinated
It is the frame that insists on the golden section again, this time the costume blue and green
Because the projected background of the mirror is mostly green, it is different from the blue in the front, so there is an illusion of double space.

When we say everything is intentional, we are talking about such a movie. It looks very casual, but in fact everything is planned out so carefully. . Including the non-linear narrative at the beginning, the sudden insertion of the paintings with the taste of experimental pioneer films, the small design of the characters with twitching faces, the editing is objective and calm for a long time, but can immediately pull up the rhythm and intensity when violent, many times off screen The violent moments expressed with the ultimate sound, deliberately muted, Hisaishi let the soundtrack be just right without being pretentious and unobtrusive, paying attention to the color matching of people and the environment. Very realism, in fact, all carefully planned to the minutiae of another extreme. The only thing I don't like is the fireworks with poor special effects. I feel that the title of the film is called this. How can it be so ugly (perhaps on purpose? I don't know), I feel that a better way to deal with it may be to shoot the heroine, sound + + Fireworks are reflected in her eyes, which may be more hazy and beautiful than direct display of fireworks. Another thing I don't like is the handling of the ending. Many people love it, but I think that when the camera panned to the left, I had already guessed that there was going to be a gunshot, and the mood didn't go up. All the audience had already expected them to do it. When you push the camera away to make it off screen, you don't have that kind of visual first reaction of witnessing. The scene of the camera is already so big that it doesn't look too sad and contrived to directly shoot two people falling to the ground, so maybe I'll be looking forward to one or two. People embrace - the camera pans away - slowly pans back - two people lie on the rocks, weakening the use of gunfire.

The story of the movie is simple, but the most important thing is how to tell it. The audio-visual overshine story of Hana also makes the story, all in a good way. , when I started to make choice, I became more sensitive and aware of the master's nuance, and only then did I realize that there are so many ingenious thinking, creativity, planning, and execution behind these seemingly easy-to-obtain mise en scenes. Anticipate that if you do it yourself, what kind of old-fashioned shot and sound design will be used, then you will feel that his choice or not to choose is so magical.

    The sea and the sky in [the summer of that year, the tranquil sea], the green fields in [Kijiro's summer], the delicate and bright kimonos in [Dolls] and the scenery of the four seasons of snow and moon flowers rotate... And in this, the perfect combination of violence and sadness It is his peak work [Fireworks]. As the title of his recent film [Two-sided Takeshi Kitano] says: half sea, half fire; half devil, half angel.

    It is not difficult to see the continuation and development of "Fireworks" to "That Summer, Tranquil Sea", breaking out of love and dreams and moving towards gentleness in violence. The protagonist still lives in silence, and in the end, it is the sea that witnesses and bears death - from "Goodbye, hello" to "Thank you, I'm sorry", there is unshakable silence and kindness inside. The cool thing about Kitano Takeku is that he hardly uses facial expressions to convey the emotions of the characters. Instead, he relies on the unconventional editing of the first act, the stunning paintings in close-up, the soundtrack that makes the sadness and resentment by Hisaishi, and the short-lived fists and bullets. Perishable fireworks are juxtaposed with eternal patterns, and movement and stillness are designed to achieve a high balance. Although I know that he is only using his skills to make up for the defect of facial paralysis, his twitching face is really full of helpless resistance to the world.
