Students who choose film or film related industries should be familiar with the professional term Film Analysis, which is a film watching activity not based on the entertainment of films. In the process of film pulling, we often need to watch film clips repeatedly, pause, slow down, frame by frame, or even nearly neurotic, to analyze the director's camera language and shooting skills. What is film pulling? Why do you pull the tab? Now let's introduce it in detail.

"A lot of film pulling is a required course to become a film director". Every successful film is like the best teaching material for students on their way to film achievement. However, if we are not careful when pulling the film, we will fall into some misunderstandings. These misunderstandings will lead students to detour and spend a lot of time and energy, but it seems that it is still pointless. So today, taking into account the hard work of students in film pulling analysis, the natural light specially sent you this "treasure trove" of film pulling to help you on the way to film learning and strive for twice the result with half the effort!

　　 What is film pulling?

　　 Studying abroad in film major Don't be surprised. Although the natural light has summarized "what is pulling piece" in a sentence, students should know more about the definition of pulling piece than this sentence.

First of all, we should be clear about what is "pulling"? Is it the same as film review analysis, depending on the theme and character settings of the plot? Look at the integrity and logic of the narrative? How gorgeous are the clothes? See the acting skills and appearance of actors? The answer is obvious, all are negative.

In the final analysis, film review is to evaluate the viewing value and entertainment of a film from the perspective of public aesthetics. Although these elements are also considered by the students, they are not necessary for pulling pieces.

When we cut out a segment, or even a shot, and analyze it frame by frame like "neuroticism" to vomit, what we should really analyze is from the perspective of the director. Why does this film "I" shoot like this? Why use such lens speed, shooting angle and scene? Why choose such a clipping method? How does the push, pull, shake and swing of the lens combine with the lifting, rotating and shaking, etc.

This is the secret of film directors' audio-visual language that we should really see and learn from the complicated and boring pull films. Students should forget the plot, actors, performances and even all aesthetic things when pulling films, and focus on these beautiful decorations and the skeleton structure of the real film.

　　 Why Pull tab ？

After knowing what the pull tab is, the next thing students need to think is, why pull tab? Can we not learn the director's audio-visual language skeleton mentioned above under the normal rate of viewing?

Of course, it is not impossible, but it is very difficult, especially for students who are still learning and lack experience. Because as mentioned above, audio-visual language is like the skeleton of a film, hidden under blood vessels and flesh. What's more, for a mature film, the director will try his best to hide the audio-visual language in the dark, and the less attractive the better.

In other words, if people feel that they can notice the editing, angle and other actions of the film lens when watching the film normally, it means that the audio-visual language of the film has a high probability of problems, affecting the audience to watch or making people feel "jumping".

Therefore, under the ordinary and general viewing process, it is difficult to analyze the audio-visual language characteristics of a film due to the interference of many factors, such as plot, roles, and the speed of the film's normal playing rhythm.

These may not be important to the audience for entertainment and recreation, but they are vital to us who need to learn from films as textbooks. What is film pulling? Why do you pull the tab? We made an introduction today. Although film pulling is boring, it is indeed indispensable in the study of film majors.
