Cinematic Value
-Use a lot of long shot.
-Because want to presenting pure and clean.
-Low-angle shot of Paris street, or a physical
education teacher to lead the students jogging, all the students went away
later that overhead vision lens, with relax and funny soundtrack.
-Anonie walk on the street at mid night.
-This movie is full of dark, lonely atmosphere, even
in the back Andonie running into the street where the flow will stop rolling
kind of lonely endeavor.
-Not much close up shot.
-The first long shot about one minute twenty seconds,
Andonie left out from the painting, jumping axis, emphasizing changes in mood.
-Last more than one minute long shot of the film, the
performance is still running, panoramic, Andonie off from the shore, went to
the beach, to continue to run to the right of the screen, the camera slowly
began to move to the right rear, shaking.
-Andonie ran to the sea, in the sea sideways a few
steps to the right, but looking back to the camera came into the picture frame
and a pair of his confusion, melancholy eyes, close-up, music, and sound of the
waves continued, drama end.
Mistake
