Well, I think storytelling is a lot more difficult than it seems, whether it is in words or in

the pain of the former, when I failed to write a short story again, I experienced it vividly again, and the latter It was a profound experience when I tried to shoot a small commercial when I was in college

, and then I realized it again when I was tutoring a junior.

She said to me that my first shot was a person who was very anxious to open the door.
I said, wait. ,Stop for a moment,,,How can you open the door very anxiously?

She said, Then open the door and show an anxious expression.

I said, then you show me a look.,,It's not that I look down on you people
Acting skills (who knows if your expression is anxious or if you want to poop),,,,If you really want to express anxiety,.. Would it be clearer to add a scene where the person looks down at the watch?

The junior said, ah, you You're right, I'll say it in a good way

, but your video is only 15 seconds in total,,, you're making a sanitary napkin ad, do you really need this shot?,,, won't people misunderstand that it's a watch ad,,,

She said,,,Then why don't you worry?

I said,,,How do I know,,,


uh,,,The point of the above nonsense is,,,In fact, the story is told through the camera, except for the shameless method of using voiceover (He came to the door very anxiously that day),,, David Mami, who was quite difficult

, said in his director's homework that a good shot language should be like

Mengmeng composed of a series of incoherent clips, and the clip itself does not have any Contact, but it can call itself a system in your mind. For example, one shot is 2 people drilling holes in the wall, the second shot immediately cuts to 2 people standing in front of a wall with a hole, patting the dust on their bodies,,, Such lens language is very beautiful,, well, at least it's my personal preference , of

course not all directors make films like this,,, even,, literary film directors seem to be more arrogant and prefer long shots,,,


so whenever I meet I will be very happy when I have a similar pursuit of the film, I will like it very much,,, I will silently give it extra points in my heart,,,


This night watchman is like this,,,


but there is a problem with the language of dreams,,, although my dream can only be dreamed by myself, but even if others can dream it, I can't understand it, because the logic and Emotions are very personal,,, Anyway, I often explain the plot to the people around me when I watch it,,,

PS,,, The opening 5 minutes of WANTED is so handsome,,, Strongly recommended

    The director is a genius. Bear paws can be made into pickled chicken feet, and shark fins can be made into vermicelli soup. Spirit is commendable.

    The creator and the audience probably don't know what they are doing. It's fun to watch the Japanese audio track.

Night Watch quotes

  • [Geser lies on the floor with a book, telling the tale of the Virgin of Byzantium, the origin of the Others, the Great War, and the prophecy of the Great Other]

    Geser: ...And so it will be, until a man emerges who is meant to become the Great One. And, if he chooses the side of Light, then Light will win. But, those, to whom the truth has been revealed, say that he will choose Darkness. For it is easier to kill the Light within oneself, than to scatter the Darkness around... The prophecies are coming true.

  • [Two agents of the Day Watch, in a shiny, black sports car, have found Vampiress Larisa wandering in the middle of traffic in a busy tunnel. Slowing the car to a walk, agent Alisa Donnikova pulls up alongside, and holds a jar pig's blood just out of Larisa's hungry reach]

    Vampiress Larisa, initiate: [grasping for the jar of pig's blood] Give it to me!

    Alisa Donnikova: What, you've sunk to pig's blood?

    Vampiress Larisa, initiate: Give it to me!

    Alisa Donnikova: Andrey taught you how to call.

    Vampiress Larisa, initiate: He taught me, he taught me. Give it to me!

    Alisa Donnikova: The boy succumbed to your call. Lure him out, and when he's in your hands, demand that they bring the one who killed your Andrey.

    Vampiress Larisa, initiate: My Andrey... Give it to me, please. Well, give it here.

    Alisa Donnikova: Do you want revenge?

    Vampiress Larisa, initiate: Give it, give it here.

    Day Watch agent: Listen, don't torture her.

    Vampiress Larisa, initiate: Give it here, please...

    [Alisa stops the car, then flips the jar of pig's blood onto the pavement in front of Larisa, where it shatters]

    Alisa Donnikova: [to her colleague] Now she'll find him, for sure.

    Day Watch agent: Just how is she going to find him?

    [Alisa tosses the boy's swimming goggles onto the pool of pig's blood]

    Vampiress Larisa, initiate: She'll find him... like a dog.
