My genius girlfriend is widely praised by book and drama fans because of its highly restored plot of the original novel "The Naples Tetralogy". The high score of the film review website also fully affirmed the artistic level of the play. Take the first episode as an example to analyze how the director used to complete the adaptation of a literary work.
1 Staged character standing
As shown in the picture, the position is very formal and staged, and the picture takes place in the climax of the first episode. The loan shark's villain, Archie, retaliated by beating up the carpenter who had abused him while he was at church. The carpenter's family supported the beaten carpenter. He was the mainstay of the family and could not fall.
The family portrait of the carpenter at the beginning of the episode shows the relationship between the characters of the carpenter family. In the handling of this family portrait, the characters' faces are very bright, which also shows that the carpenter's family is ill-fated and a tragic figure.
This is the only Solara family couple in the community who are not afraid of the underworld force Achille and dare to sweep away the underworld. From the stand, we also feel that he is powerful and powerful.
2 The color scene is unified with the costume
The overall tone treatment is warmer in gray, as if we saw the color version of "The Bicycle Thief". High-end overflowing cement gray texture, showing the "early fashion" of Naples.
In the art processing, all the real scenes are set up, as shown in the picture above to restore the real scene of the church, which is also more conducive for the actors to enter the specified situation and experience the role. It's an HBO series after all.
3 A lot of subjective shots and the heroine's voice-over
In the scene, the heroine saw the dead for the first time, which gave her a deep memory.
The picture below shows the subjective lens of the heroine. The narration of the movie is not afraid of slow rhythm. The group scenes and texture of the picture are very important. If there is texture and something to watch, it is not afraid of slow rhythm.
4 Visual processing techniques for hazy memory
About 20 minutes into the first episode, Mr. Archie grabbed the carpenter and walked outside the church, and people stopped worshiping to see what was going on. With the flow of people, the heroine came out curiously and saw a scene of violence.
A large number of foreground characters are dispatched:
A large number of background character scheduling:
The chaotic background movement strengthens the inner complexity of the heroine, and at the same time renders the atmosphere of the plot. It is estimated that when the announcement was made, all the actors on the scene had to cooperate with this shot.
Handling of violent scenes:
As shown in the picture above, under the occlusion of the foreground of a large area of people, the panorama, the actor hanging Weiya was smashed to the wall, and the villain completed the violence before showing up.
5 Use of old lenses
Through the special coating of inferior lens sense, a perspective of inner OS is established, which also implies that the relationship between the characters of the two is a step closer.
Spielberg used a similar technique in "Saving Private Ryan", even removing the shutter blades and adjusting the shutter angle to add to the old camera's WWII retro feel.
