Recently, it was announced that our domestic animated film "Nezha" would participate in the Oscar competition. Then I realized that the Oscar was about to be unveiled again. Although we still don't know who will win the mysterious Oscar Award, it is not nowhere to be found. After all, the three major European film festivals have ended. This year, many excellent films have also rubbed their fists to build momentum in order to raise flags and shout for Austria. Now the natural light will bring the students of film and television production training to see the gratitude and hatred behind the Academy Awards.

Although the best Oscar film is unveiled every year, it always makes people boo. But there is no denying that Oscar is the vane leading the film industry. Therefore, students studying abroad in film and television production and training can use the style of Oscar winning films for reference to surmise the aesthetic tendency of admissions officers.

Joker should be the most noteworthy of this year's Olympic films. It is the first film to be shortlisted in three major European film festivals and finally won the Golden Lion Award in Venice Film Festival. With his unique aesthetic style and special theme in the gray zone, the clown man broke a billion box office! The regret of not being released in the mainland has made clowns an itch in the hearts of movie fans. However, the clown is not a "superhero" film in the traditional sense, and it is far from the mainstream Western personal heroism values. Before the release, there was almost no heat, let alone being favored as a Chong Ao movie. But after it was released, it poked the pain in the hearts of countless audiences.

The reason why superhero movies are so popular is that the superheroes' super abilities can give the audience a breathing space to escape from reality. However, negative and emotional movies like clowns can make every modern person see their own shadow. The clown's one shot shooting has epoch-making significance not only for the DC universe, but also for the film industry as a whole. It makes people gradually understand that although Utopian fantasy is important, they will be tired of seeing too much. However, the films that have real practical significance and can stimulate people's resonance and thinking began to move from "minority" to "public".

"Tragedy destroys the valuable things in life for people to see, while comedy tears the worthless things for people to see." Mr. Lu Xun's sentence really analyzes the significance and universal value of literary and artistic works from the essence. In fact, all the amazing works we have seen, regardless of the visual effects at the technical level, are nothing more than the perfection of "destruction" and "tearing".

Fragments of the film Modern Times

At the beginning of the creation of the film and television production training collection, the teacher will generally guide us to set a tone for our own works, such as Studying abroad in film major What kind of story is told in the collection and what style is used to tell it. But it seems that few students have really thought about what their works are going to destroy and what they are going to tear. But it is these things that directly determine the real secular value of our works and whether they can touch people's hearts. It may be too false and empty to say that we should change the society, but even if we talk about it from a small perspective, we should make works with our own style and characteristics that are recognized by the admissions officers and professors, which must not be superficial. Although there are still popular movies that attract attention by sensationalism, and they can all get a lot of box office. However, what can be left after the tempering of time must not be those shallow and frivolous fast-food works.

Even Oscar often prefers movies with epoch-making significance such as clowns. For example, Flying Over the Bedlam, which directly refers to American social culture; Annie Hall, a romantic comedy with surreal scenes; There is also the cross racial love story "Water Form Tales".

The natural light recently found that the students' film and television production training collection seems to prefer the low saturation "frigid" style. Indeed, this is a popular trend in recent years, which will also make the works look advanced and textured. However, works that serve some specific situations and are highly saturated or even gorgeous to vulgar tend to have more visual impact.

It is not that popular trends and public aesthetics are bad, but that following a unified style too rigidly will limit our creativity. What do most creators fear most? His works are not recognizable. But if you want to be discerning, you must break some old things and make new attempts and challenges.

Fragments of the movie "Pulp Fiction"

Recently, a senior student's work "In the World" of the China Institute of Communication has been quietly launched in private screening rooms across the country. This is a documentary film based on live shooting, recording a mother's hard way to defend her rights after her daughter was killed by her classmate. This is not an interesting subject, and the live shooting mode also limits the space to play. But this is a "good movie" that can make the audience spontaneously stand up and applaud after the end.

To tell such a true story, no matter how mature the acting skill is, it is better to let the bereaved mother play the leading role directly, sobbing in front of the camera, so that the audience can see her lively and beautiful from the beginning of the recording to the end. No matter how elaborate the composition, the mirror and the modeling language are, it is better to shoot the chaotic scenes of the rights protection scene again and again. The jumbled scenes are shocking. Doesn't the creative team know that this is not beautiful, does not meet the requirements of textbooks, and does not meet the audience's aesthetic standards? Of course they know, but this is the best style for this film.

The role of popular culture should be to serve our works, rather than let us give up our creativity and style in order to "please" it. As big as Oscar, as small as the admissions officers and professors we have to face. These officials and authorities in the industry are also more willing to see something different and hear some rebellious and even opposing voices. If you want to know more, please pay attention to the natural light film and television production training institutions, and come to find natural light free advice.
