反应镜头在好莱坞类型片中的重要性以《高材生》为例

1, the first thing we needed to conquer with is how to divide the original lines of three characters into two actors since we were in short of one actor. The lines in any coming-of-age comedy are specifically stylised and designed so the distribution was crucial and tricky. Also, learning the writing of this script could be gaining experience.

2, lighting

Since it is compulsory to be shoot inside a bathroom where the dominant light is impossible to be shut down. We attempt to cope with the lighting and try to not let the actor’s face look pale but still in the end, because of the not matching between the camera and the actors ‘faces, we got some raccoon face. So next time, we need to use the gel to avoid the exposure.

3, the importance of reaction shot

1920, the Soviet Union filmmaker and theorist lev Kuleshov performed a famous experiment demonstrating that all the meanings of shots in sequence can be created entirely through editing the reaction shots of the leading role and the other subjects which is called temporal connection. In this scenario, by capturing the protagonist Molly Davison’s reaction shot in the stroll, we connect it with the other two actors ‘action, we establish this classical montage which implies the main conflict in the next plot.

4, the structural narrative impulse.

Structure controls the order in which the story information is given to the viewer. The famous novelist E. M. Foster often quoted definition of plot is a good place to begin understanding the kind of structural logic that motivates editing choices. In the story of Book Smart, the cause-and-effect relationship is constructed by molly Davison’s consumption which was not the given information in before. Because she heard the other two characters insulting her so she can fight back and attack those two guys. Because she assumed that those two were not able to be recruited by any college, so she made up all the satire and iconic utterance about them compared to herself logically. Because the other two guys being accepted by Stanford university and Google company is totally out of her cognition, she is stuck in this place which lowered the narrative.

This kind of writing development skill is freshly acquainted and crucially significant.
