Music? Special effects?
Music is the most expressive element in the film, and the soundtrack in the film is very wonderful. These music are in harmony with the movie pictures, and have a natural feeling, and the emotional expression is smooth and natural.
There are three kinds of music in the movie.
The first is the piano accompaniment that runs through the whole film. Sometimes it is light and comfortable, sometimes it is light and jumping, sometimes it is long and sad, and sometimes it is magnificent. It's all about the relationship between Li Baoting and Xiao Q, just like another narrator supplementing their inner words for the audience.
When Li Baoting refused to accept Xiao Q and vented his emotions in the form of violence, it was a sense of nervous and angry music;
When Xiao Q was driven out of the house by Li Baoting and hid under the car for shelter from the rain, the piano notes banged on the floor, accompanied by the pouring rain outside the house, which made him feel distressed.
When Li Baoting and Xiao Q played together, they were no longer solo piano accompaniment, but joined the strings, which enriched the original single piano sound and made the momentum gradually grand.
Just like Li Baoting's lonely life suddenly had Xiao Q to join, suddenly opened a new door and suddenly ushered in new possibilities.
The second is "You are my eye" inserted by Li Baoting at the moment when he really accepted Xiao Q from the heart. There are two views on the choice of this song: one is that it is too tacky and artificial, and the other is that it is appropriate to put it in. I belong to the latter.
Because the original author and singer of this song are blind, it is a song that tells the voice of the blind. For the blind Li Baoting, Xiao Q is his eyes. Originally, I thought the light was far away from him. It was Xiao Q who made it within reach. He was no longer afraid that God would cover his eyes and that fate would blur his vision.
The third is the ending. When Li Baoting accompanied Xiao Q to the end of his life, the song "Thank you for walking in front of me" was specially written for this film and sung by Liang Yongqi. ? With you leading the way, I am no longer lonely. Step by step, take a walk in the years. There is no need for a thousand words between us. I can see the most beautiful scenery with my eyes closed?
The lyrics are unpretentious and the tune is long and affectionate, which fully expresses Li Baoting's infinite gratitude to Xiao Q. Xiao Q has been silently accompanying him and silently dedicating himself until the end of his life.
The title of "Thank you for walking in front of me" is also a pun.
First, I thank Xiao Q for walking in front of the blind Li Baoting like a guide, helping him avoid many obstacles and crises, so that a blind man can travel all over the world and experience the beauty of the four seasons;
The second is to thank Xiao Q for persisting in his illness and waiting for Li Baoting to return. Before the end of his life, Li Baoting, who was grateful and guilty, had the opportunity to accompany Xiao Q silently and take care of him in return for his previous efforts to his master.
The use of music in movies can fully render the emotions of characters and accurately and profoundly reveal their mental journey. It can be said that the director of the film Little Q firmly grasped this point and used the powerful auxiliary function of music to add tears to the film? Special effects? .
L lens? Special effects?
Is the film written in calligraphy with pictures? French director Gukeduo
In the movie "Little Q", you dig out the story and music to study the director's polishing of the lens language, which is actually very artistic.
The change of shooting angle One of the biggest differences between this film and the Japanese guide dog Little Q is the choice of shooting angle. The Japanese version uses the lens language of the third party to tell and watch the documentary, showing Xiao Q's life.
China's version of Xiao Q uses the first-person narration. In many cases, the lens is lowered, the color is removed, and the picture becomes gray (dogs are born color blind, and their world is only black and white). With the trajectory of Xiao Q, they shot from Xiao Q's perspective.
For example, what kind of person Li Baoting is, it is through the perspective of Xiao Q that we are told.
Xiao Q just arrived at Li Baoting's house, and no one took care of him. He just wandered around, as if taking the initiative to get to know his master. Looking at the photos, trophies and medals of Li Baoting's family from its perspective, we can know that Li Baoting is a famous dessert chef with strict requirements, special attention to details and stubborn temper.
Supplementing character information in this way is also a unique way.
The use of different scenes The use of different scene compositions in movies can give people an immersive feeling and make people deeply infected.
Because the relationship between Xiao Q and Li Baoting in the film has gone through such a process of never accepting, accepting and then relying on each other, the director also uses different scenes to help express their intimate relationship and show the emotional world of the characters to the audience.
At first, Li Baoting and Xiao Q were opposites, even if Xiao Q wanted to approach actively, it would not help. They can only stand on both sides of the picture, with a great distance between them.
Every heart-to-heart talk after accepting Xiao Q is the alternate use of middle shot and close shot to express a peaceful relationship.
Chaplin said: comedy uses vision, tragedy uses close-ups? .
Every time Li Baoting and Xiao Q go out to play, they have a panoramic view, showing a happy and peaceful atmosphere.
Finally, the treatment stage of Xiao Q's serious illness is even more close-up, on the one hand, Li Baoting's guilt and reluctance, on the other hand, Xiao Q's pain and struggle.
It can be seen that the film captures the essence of Chaplin's sentence and conveys his feelings to the audience through a lens.
I was deeply moved by the use of long shots and playback shots in two plots in the film. One is that Li Baoting set off for the United States, and Xiao Q chased the car desperately behind; The other is the ending, after Li Baoting let Xiao Q return to his companion, Xiao Q's memory from birth.
In the car chase, a long lens was used. In the camera, Xiao Q keeps running after him, running across a street, turning until he is stopped, and then switching to the picture of Li Baoer and Li Baoting in the car. Here you can see how reluctant Xiao Q is.
The use of long lens vividly records this process, which is convincing and infectious, and can make the audience hum psychologically.
From the moment Xiao Q was chosen as a guide dog, he stood in the position of a working dog. Work has become the norm in their lives. They should always maintain strict self-discipline, pay high attention and always take the master as the center. They don't seem to know what it's like to play with their companions.
At the end of the movie, Li Baoting let the weak little Q go back to his partner and enjoy the last, perhaps the only chance to play. In the process of Xiao Q's play, I reviewed Xiao Q's life: from being born with milk to being strong when he was young, meticulous when he worked, firm when he waited, and nostalgic when he was seriously ill.
It can be said that the replay scene deeply touched the audience and once again pushed the film's tear-jerking effect to a climax.
Although the film Little Q also has many shortcomings, many people have doubts about its adaptation, but the film adds tears to the film with audio-visual art? Special effects? It is still worthy of recognition that exaggerating emotions causes * * * singing failure, at least the tears shed by the audience are the best proof.
