Stylized audio-visual analysis

The audio-visual design of "The Good and the Bad" is very characteristic of the director. Whether it is the choice of composition and scenery, music, sound effects and editing methods are very talented.

The style of the subtitles at the beginning of "The Good and the Bad" establishes the personal style of the film. The red background picture animation with unique music and the design of subtitles appearing with the sound of gunfire directly gives a strong sense of rhythm.

It was a trick to deceive from the beginning.

At the beginning, a vision of a false shot appeared
Figures become close-ups

The desert environment shot to explain the background of the story appeared, and the audience thought it was a classic Hollywood long-range environment to explain the environment. Unexpectedly, the zooming character suddenly became a close-up. So in fact the film opens with a close-up, which has a distinctly personal anti-traditional style.

The way the Ugly Man appears is ingenious. The director didn't shoot him directly. Instead, three people who were chasing him entered the room where he was using the imaginary space outside the conversation. The ugly man broke out of the window. This kind of rock-and-roll character's appearance is refreshing. The last shot was pushed to the scene where the three fell down to explain the situation in the house: the three cowboys were all shot and killed by the ugly man in the house. This delay method has a strong sense of design and clearly shows the cleverness of the ugly man. shrewd.

The Ugly Man made his first appearance from Breaking the Glass
The audience who pushed the camera at the end knew what was going on in the house

The house where the villain appears is very architecturally designed.

The use of circular lines and radians is very compositional design
