For Ivan, neither good nor evil, he is an extreme product created by history. Nothing can bridge the gap between collective joy and this individual, trivial suffering.

Fragments in the screen:

1. Close-up + panorama in one mirror.

The camera moves up and down + the actors move to complete the one-shot transformation of the panorama and close-up. At the beginning, Ivan emerges from the woods, the camera moves up, and Ivan appears from a distance into the painting, opening a new perspective with the panorama.

This technique has been used a lot in road rollers and violins. For example, Sha Xie, who went to the violin exam, came out after the exam. The little girl at the door looked at the back of Sha Xie's departure. The camera moved down, and the characters changed from close-up to The distant view, while the focus finally falls on the apple core eaten on the chair, forming a new lens relationship.

It is also like Ivan woke up from the first dream, left the windmill hut, went out, went out of the painting, the panorama close-up, and the consistent scheduling style.

2, the presentation of the dream picture.

In the opening chapter of Ivan's dream, the close-up view of Ivan is topless, the shooting angle is from slightly tilted to tilted, while rotating the shooting, the background is switched from the grass to the sky, and the subjective lens is switched, and the lens is shaking in the air that does not fall, overlooking the beach. , it seems that the characters really fly like the butterflies in the previous shot.

The moment the leaves cover the picture, the picture is transferred to the soil slope, the camera continues to pan, and Ivan enters the painting from a close-up on the other side.

3. The disclosure of new information.

The sky flare falls, the camera pans down, and Ivan, who is crawling in the water, enters the painting. Ivan looks at the direction of the camera, and the camera moves backward. The barbed wire is in the foreground and the three layers of information are revealed in one shot.

Another example: the scene where Ivan, Colin and Gart rowed out at night. First, they saw the three boats moving forward on the calm water. The camera slowly moved down, and the two sensational figures hanging on the branches appeared in the foreground. The corpse, the atmosphere of the picture immediately changed from quiet to horror.

4. Surreal application.

Colin and Gart went out on patrol, Ivan stayed in the camp to rest, and an hallucination appeared. Ivan seemed to have come to the concentration camp. Words, then Ivan himself appeared in the picture, he went to ring the bell, the camera shot from the height of the bell, the position of the bell in the picture occupies most of the space, and Ivan's body only occupies a small space, however, after Ivan stopped ringing the bell , the bell still did not stop.

Ivan's third dream, sitting with the little girl in the garage of the apple car, the picture constantly reversed the negative film in the sound of lightning. In the close-up shooting of the little girl, the camera is almost fixed, and the background scenery is constantly passing by. The little girl is drawn with three close-up group street shots. The expression ranges from smiling to serious, and her hair and skin are constantly changing from wet to dry in the scene. , indicating that the characters gradually move away from Ivan.
