documentary image features such as handheld photography, (extremely fast) zoom push-pull, and virtual and real focus ensure that "The Hurt Locker" adopts fast editing, jumping The possibility of unconventional means such as cutting is closely related and inseparable, and the video style and editing methods are subject to the director's overall conception of the film's aesthetic concept. Compared with other movies, the main lens is a must-set camera position when shooting a scene, and its function is to explain the spatial position relationship of the characters in the whole scene through the panorama. In "The Hurt Locker", the main lens is rarely used, and even if it happens occasionally, the practice of using a fixed lens to shoot the main lens is abandoned, and the method of shooting with a zoom push-pull supplemented by handheld photography is used, which strengthens the main lens. The subjective feeling of the camera, and another comment is the subjective point of view of the Iraqi people watching the bomb disposal scene. In short, we examine the entire film. Except for a few fixed shots, the entire film is hand-held, forming a documentary-style image style—shaking, (extremely fast) zoom push-pull, virtual and real focus adjustment, irregular composition, and imagery. Coarse grain effects and more. Films often use fast zoom push-pull to replace the function of lens switching. This method not only strengthens the documentary-style image style, but also has more visual tension and emotional appeal than simply cutting the lens, especially the extremely fast zoom push-pull and fast lens. The toggles combine to bring this tension to the extreme.
Finally, I would like to add a sentence, no matter how fast and tense the film of "The Hurt Locker" is, its editing method is still fast editing, not the absolutely new Hollywood style fragment editing method similar to "The Bourne 3" ! If anyone is interested in the theory of fast editing and fragment editing, you can email me, I have some literature about them here, which can be shared with friends who are interested in editing!
