opening point of view

Tess 2022-03-27 09:01:06

The chaotic prelude is very charming. It seems to be hunting, but the focus is on Xiuhuyi. At the beginning, the hunters stood in the mountains, silent, and the camera switched between the long shot and the medium shot. No show tiger. Then the wild boar appeared, and the director switched his viewpoint once, the only one in the opening. Through the eyes of the wild boar, Xiuhu appears, with the intention of revealing the silent observer behind the camera before, and then the viewpoint cuts back to Xiuhu again. Wild boars run away, horses chase, the viewpoint here is consistent, and Xiuhu himself is also included in the field of vision. He slows his pace and withdraws from the crowd, which is a psychological description. His focus gradually narrowed, from himself and the horse, to himself, to only the head. That is to say, in this prelude, apart from the brief counterattack, Xiuhu's point of view is consistent, he is not looking at the wild boar, but is looking at himself from the surrounding layers. In the end, Xiuhu stared at his old face with certainty, but the title subtitle was opposite:

"chaos".
