You can get a glimpse of all kinds of bad things about making movies. Many books about writing and shooting movies use this film to talk about it. It is indeed a very intuitive model of teaching materials on the set. Day for Night is actually a daylight night scene. At noon, a small aperture is used to shoot night scenes. You can see a lot of cinephile ingredients, showing Truffaut's personal preferences. A lot of fun and weird paragraphs, the rhythm is good and the people are beautiful.

Truffaut uses a light comedy way to describe the difficulty of making a movie. It is ironic inside and outside the scene. From the director's personal appearance, it can be seen that his own shadow should be projected into the story, which can be very interesting to the audience. It is also very novel to understand the behind-the-scenes up close, and the snow spots made by soap bubbles in the end show the dream-making essence of the movie.
