1. The lack of a sense of space is
often seen in Hollywood films. At the beginning of a scene, there is a close-to-long shot: the character is seen from outside the building. Enter the building, go all the way through the corridor upstairs, etc., and finally come to the scene: a certain room. This kind of shot, in addition to showing the details of the environment, also allows the audience to establish a sense of space for the scene - allowing the audience to feel the pattern of the real building and the location of the scene.
This kind of shooting method scene scheduling is relatively cumbersome and requires live shooting. But the benefits are obvious, creating a sense of realism about what happened.
An example is a long shot at the zodiac opening press; the long shot at the aviator's aerial combat film.
To make the sense of space lack, follow this bbc method: the last shot gives a castle shape, and the next shot immediately cuts to a few people talking indoors. This kind of shooting method appears repeatedly in this film, which makes people suspect that all the indoor shots are shot in the studio.
Shooting in a studio actually has its advantages. For example, the scenes of interrogation of suspects in police stations are common in movies. Some films will give overhead shots of police officers and suspects in the interrogation room. This requires cantilevered shots. , due to the height relationship, the real room cannot be photographed. This method of shooting is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Although the picture is beautiful, it does not have much impact on the plot, so it is usually only done in Hollywood commercial films. And in this bbc you don't want to see any of that.
In the abolition of the queen from Spain, the first scene is a computer-generated aerial view of the big panorama, the castle and the hustle and bustle, and then the next scene is cut to the interior of the queen's speech. If this is a Hollywood shot, in order to show the spatial relationship, the camera will be swooped down from the sky (computer made), until the window of the castle, and then enter the room through the window. That's why everyone scolds the Hollywood epic/historical drama for being bad, because you haven't watched the bbc's historical drama.
2. Lack of details
This film may be because the main scenes are in the castle, the lighting is very dark, and the details of the background are often missing (cutting corners); in addition, because several main natalie portman, scarlett johannson, eric bana
are all popular actors now, The camera greets them hard on their faces, with too many close-ups, resulting in a shallow depth of field in the background and a further loss of detail.
In addition to the actors' costumes, the layout of other scenes cut corners too much.
For historical dramas, this lack of detail greatly reduces the sense of historical reality.
3. The lack of a sense of time The
historical span of this film is not short. From the favor of Mary Boleyn to the beheading of Anne, at least 5 or 6 years have passed. The passage of time is usually shown, requiring various scenes to be arranged in different seasons. In a typical commercial film, if the story mainly takes place in the spring and autumn, even if only one year has passed, two short snow scenes or midsummer scenes should be arranged. And arranging snow scenes requires artificial snow, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
All the events in this film over the past few years happened in the spring and autumn, and at most there was a little heavy rain. Although the children are born one after another in the film, after watching the film, you almost think that these things happened in one spring.
The director of this film is an eighth-rate TV drama director, and he has completely achieved the above three points, turning the Hao Duan Yi film into an indoor drama. It is completely possible to make a blockbuster with a small amount of money. Ang Lee said that he can shoot a film below 20 million to the effect of 80 million. And this director has the feeling that 20 million films have been shot out of 5 million films.
After watching the tidbits, the director analyzed the characters again, and the scene of the film did not mention a word. It is estimated that this buddy is of the same type as domestic directors and European directors: making a film and going straight to the theme, he has neither the ability nor the interest to create this kind of at least realism. As a result, the film is at the level of indoor drama.
I just saw the conversation between two young filmmakers in China, and I didn't die of laughter:
A: "...Maybe it's because of high expectations for Uncle Sen. I always hope to see historical masterpieces made by Chinese people, and I always hope to be able to There is a period drama master who can surpass Akira Kurosawa and David Lean..."
B: "The Chinese surpass Akira Kurosawa and David Lean... I really can't even think about it. Let's rush to the fortress of Spielberg first." The
film youth B, who analyzes the film is also very knowledgeable, it is said that it is a documentary film Yes, they are also practitioners, and the result is, "Let's rush to the fortress of Spielberg first." If mainland film workers have this kind of bullish mentality, Chinese films will only be as bad as ever.
P.S.
I also think the actors' performances are okay, the three leading actors and that Kristin scott thomas are all good. Clothing is well made. Some commented that this film has become a historical romance drama. In fact, there is no emotion in this film at all, and it is basically a naked betrayal. Unfortunately, the set is too lazy. The three children at the beginning and end of the film are running on the same grass. Not only are the seasons the same, but they also use the same light/light filter. It's a yellow piece. You may not have money for snow scenes in different seasons. At least change the lens. , you can also change the main color.
