What is the Montage Technique in the Movie _Part V

Application of Montage Techniques in Other Fields

Photo processing

Montage photo processing technology is a new type of photo processing method, which is different from the traditional adjustment of exposure rate and pigment distribution. Montage is an organic combination of block mosaic.

This technique requires hundreds of scales, that is, picture elements. The selected scales should be distributed with a variety of pigments so that no empty blocks appear when the software is combined. The finished photos contain thousands of small photos, and there are small worlds in the big world, which can be described as “strange and weird”.

Classics

In modern scholars’ articles analyzing Chinese classical poetry, comments on “montage thinking” can also often be seen. This makes us think about the similarities and differences between montage thinking in Chinese classical literature and modern film montage thinking.

First of all, as a technical factor, I think there is a fundamental difference between the montage expression in Chinese classical poetry and the montage in modern movies. In Chinese classical poetry, the so-called many images that make up the montage have sunk into the bottom of the culture, its own meaning Before it is used, it has been established by people. For example, the “blue bird” that represents the role of messenger in mythology, the “swan goose” that represents letters and family thoughts, and the “beauty vanilla” that represents people’s virtue and character, and so on.

But in the use of montages in modern movies, it can be said that any image can participate in the montage combination, and can produce new meanings, which is different from general conventions. Of course, the classical convention imagery in modern movies is not exclusive, such as the white dove representing peace, etc. The white dove in Wu Yusen’s movies often makes people feel the atmosphere of peace and are nervous about the bloody coming.

Secondly, as the existence of thinking, the author tends to think that the classics and the modern are in common, which seems to have been proved by the research results of human psychology. Experiments have shown that the human eye has the physiological instinct to continuously search for new images, which is the same in ancient and modern times. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to use montage-style terminology when evaluating Chinese classical poetry.

The montage images and thinking appearing in Chinese classical poetry are relatively small in narrative, and the expression is the overwhelming majority, while rational montage is rare and almost pitiful. This cannot but be attributed to the cultural tradition of China. In Chinese classical poetry, the expression of this emotion tends to be extreme and comprehensive.ledsfilm-2-in-1-studio-lights

The subjective emotion that the subject of creation penetrates into the heart and will be poured out determines the selection and arrangement of the image, like a red thread, connecting many images in series, so that the scattered and scattered images themselves are not difficult to compliment. . Therefore, Chinese classical poetry is more homogeneous aggregation, but less heterogeneous combination. Therefore, in Chinese classical poetry, many images repeatedly appear in different verses, such as the bell in the morning and the drum in the evening, the small bridge and the flowing water, the cold pillow of the lonely lantern, the sinking fish and the geese, the lanes of ancient houses, the red plum trees and so on. There is a poem saying: “Weeds and flowers by the Zhuque bridge, and the setting sun is slanting at the entrance of Wuyi Lane. In the old days, Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people.” There is a song saying: “Withered vines and old trees, faint crows, small bridges and flowing water, people, ancient west wind thin horse…” And so on.

Studio lights and their types

Studio lights are a type of lamps used in stage performances and film and television shooting to illuminate and achieve a certain light effect. In fact, it consists of a high-power flash and modeling light. The flash tube is generally ring-shaped, and the center of the ring has an interface for the modeling lamp. The modeling lamp is generally a quartz lamp, an incandescent lamp, etc.led-hard-&-soft-2-in-1-lights

Film and television lights can be divided into three categories: spotlights, astigmatism lights and effect lights according to the characteristics of their outgoing beams. According to the type, it can be roughly divided into: three-primary color lamp, halogen lamp/quartz lamp, HMI, HQI, FRENSEL, LED video lamp and so on.

Film and television lights are used in photo studios, studios or on-site scenes. “Audience” is a camera or video camera that can be moved and used for technical processing. There are many close-ups. In addition to artistic effects, the lighting also has the role of correct exposure of the camera tube or film. , Especially for the good color reproduction, the color temperature of the light is about 5000K, the color rendering index is above 90 under the light (inside shooting), and the 5000K and above 80 under the sunlight (outside shooting).

At present, the most widely used video light on the market is led video light, which will also be the most ideal popular video light source in the future. It has the characteristics of small size, low cost, high strength, low energy consumption, etc., and the LED has a low failure rate and extremely long life. Each LED particle has a life span of about tens of thousands of hours. However, LED lighting is not very mature, mainly because the color temperature control of LED particles is difficult and the cost is relatively high.
