Long shots are generally used to deeply portray the psychological details of the characters or deepen the psychological feelings of the audience, which is the unique advantage of the film. As for short shots, frequent and fast scene switching can express rapid movements and nervous psychology. Of course, the most common one is used in dialogue. I say one sentence, the camera cuts on my face, you say another word, the camera cuts in On your face, back and forth, normally speaking a sentence takes two or three seconds, and more than 10 seconds is like a speech.
The film uses a lot of short shots. Moreover, it is not used in dialogue, but in fighting scenes.
Speaking of which, this is a very common movie shooting technique in fight movies. Extensive use of ultra-short shots and frequent and rapid switching can indeed give people a feeling of intense tension. For example, the simple action of jumping up and shooting can be cut into three sections: take-off, volley shooting, and landing. In this way, the biggest advantage is that it is easy to manipulate the visual experience of the audience. For example, the action of jumping up and firing a gun can be cut into three sections to shorten the take-off and landing time, and extend the time in the air, so that it seems that the character jumps higher than it actually does, takes longer to control the air, and can stay in the air. Longer time is used to complete a large number of complex, time-consuming and fancy actions. The take-off and landing are more clean and neat. Of course, in this process, it is easy to deceive. In the eyes of the audience, it looks like a coherent action. In fact, it was repeatedly shot dozens of times, and then the best take-off, the best aerial shot, and the best shot were taken. On the ground, stick the movements that were actually completed three times separately to achieve the perfect effect of agility. Then, in this case, there is another advantage, that is, the stunts of the actors are greatly reduced, but difficult movements can be performed.
But you can't take advantage of everything. The downsides of dealing with fight scenes with short takes are also obvious. The first is that, no matter how smooth and precise the lens connection is, it will inevitably lead to a less realistic feeling. For example, the common action of jumping from this building to that building in action movies, there are two ways to deal with it. One, such as Jackie Chan movies, "Violence Blocks" and other movies, using real-life special effects, one shot is completed, which can give people very cool Second, as in this film, take off (shot from behind) - stop, change lens, change angle - volley (shoot from upward angle) - stop, change lens, change angle - rush to the opposite side The moment of the floor (shot from the back angle) - stop, change the lens, and change the angle - land on the opposite floor and roll (shot from an indoor angle), the editing is very good, but I still feel that it is not enjoyable or thrilling. The second disadvantage is that it looks a bit messy. Even if it is not done in several times, it is better to cut it apart and put it together smoothly, not to mention that changing the angle and artificially lengthening and shortening the time makes it more difficult to grasp the visual experience of the audience. For example, in the firearms firearms scene dealt with in this film, the protagonist uses a rope to control the tied firearms to shoot at the enemy. It also uses a lot of short shots. Although the audience can understand what it means, in fact, how does the gun fire? How to shoot the enemy is not clear at all, that is, in the imagination to connect this paragraph, thinking "Oh, that should be the case." It's like reading a martial arts novel. The author wrote, "The two sides are wonderful when you come and I fight." As for how wonderful it is, it's up to the reader to imagine.
Long takes focus on expressing "acting", while short takes focus on expressing "shooting".
