Ivan's childhood study notes

Pearlie 2022-03-22 09:02:21

Tarkovsky's first film was also the first film of the first tower guide I watched.

I watched the film twice on the plane, and I thought it was very good for Ivan's character and it also formed my interest. Because Laota has always been a director who appears frequently among schoolmates. In my impression, he is a master of art films, and it feels like a type of boring film, but at the beginning, my impression of Laota changed.

Closer to home, in fact, I may not know much about the history of the film and some feelings about the story at that time, and some points of the plot are not very easy to get, but I really have to admire the audio-visual techniques, it is really awesome , this is like the gap between the first-class director and the second-class director that the teacher said. The first-class and second-class performances of the same plot are completely different, and the skills of many scenes are really worth learning.

Next, let me first take a look at the audio-visual of the play in the analysis session.

First of all, the film is based on the intersection of Ivan's dreams (four dreams) and reality. I am also wondering why Ivan's childhood is called Ivan. He only has childhood and his childhood has two, one is beautiful, there is a mother and a crush The little girl has no war. One is Ivan, who is under the hail of bullets in the war to avenge his parents. Telling the childhood of Ivan as a child through the contrast of two cross clips of reality and dream.

first dream
Ivan outside the well and his mother look at the lonely Ivan in the well Ivan in the well mirrors the feeling of being alone and trapped in reality
The second dream The second dream
the third dream
Playing with girl eating apple in car
the fourth dream
At the beginning, the mother wiped the sweat and recalled that when the mother wiped the sweat, it was a gunshot. At that time, there was a war. This time, the mother wiped the sweat and walked away. Then it was a peaceful scene. The war ended.
Ivan and this dead tree always feel that the dead tree has meaning, but I don't know what it means
go far together
It's the dead tree at the end

For the overall film, I feel that he said a lot but didn't seem to say anything. It felt very loose and unfocused, and many of them were emotional scenes. I don't know much about the content of the film, and it bothers me a lot. I think I will add it after watching the film behind the old tower.

for audiovisual

The shape of the hand at the beginning reflects this single hand through light and shadow. Personally, I think of the hand that was bombed in the war. Through the light and the lens, the images and characters behind it are shown little by little. I think this is worth learning. By shaping the characters at the beginning and not giving a comprehensive look, you can first shape the characters through the local characteristics of the body so as to establish the first impression on the audience.

This scene is very classic. Before I saw Ivan, the teacher pulled this audio-visual dilapidated house in the class like a sword. The image of Ivan combined with the plot. Ivan sneaked out all kinds of guns and swords, like Ivan. The world outside is very dangerous
This old man, I feel like a civilian in the war whose own house is destroyed and bombed but I don't want to leave this place I think it's worth learning to discover and expose the cruelty of war through Ivan's perspective
The use of this door is also a must. The use of art and photography plus the scheduling of characters is perfect to achieve a high level of audiovisualization The audience thinks that this is a panorama shot in the house. When you open it, there is only one door and everything else is gone.

Combining this scene with the plot, Ivan sneaked out of the colonel's shelter and didn't want to go to the military school. He came to the village under the war and met this old man. The old man first sang a song. It felt like a song about home. Ivan looked for nails. Then I said that the chimney and the stove are the most sturdy and indestructible, and then I hung the picture on the wall. I feel that the old man and the ruins are to reflect the cruelty of the war and the destruction of the happy life of ordinary people.

I think it looks better haha

This show is wonderful to use paintings to reflect and tell the history forward, which looks like prints

This love that I feel is a love that crosses a gap, a love that has no result in the first place, is expressed through audio-visual
Start with the bell
Finally, pull back to reality through the sound of cannonballs

This scene is the second worst scene in the film in my opinion.

As an only child, I can understand this very well. When I was a child (about the third or fourth grade of elementary school), my parents were away from home and played various heroes alone, or the Eighth Route Army took an air gun or a toy gun and hit the air with Use pillows and quilts to build trenches or fight the enemy while talking intensively. The old tower was filmed with audiovisual and there is an electric light flashlight in the confined space? Going to find details and simulate the battlefield through sound effects can actually be real. Ivan was really before. The experience or Ivan fantasizing about saving them through the words on the wall I think is something to learn from. It's too awesome to describe the cruelty of war through the innocence of children.

This kind of play completes the double scheduling and sight dislocation through the huge mirror camera without moving it is worth learning

old tower long shot

The charm of long lenses

It is not a simple big scene to explain the environment, but to follow the characters little by little through telephoto to slowly let important information into the lens, let the audience slowly follow the director and slowly discover these details. This is the charm of the old tower's long lens.

Screens are sometimes like windows. What you see is very limited, but what the director gives to the audience is actually like a window, giving the audience a process of exploration and discovery, and making the audience feel involved

Add a lot of movement to the picture with flares
Reflection I think mirror reflections are fake and better reflect the contrast with reality. They are audiovisuals that can be used.

Finally, this one is also received through the ringtone to receive the victory of the war. I am also very fascinated by the ringtone. Welcome to the great god to add.

It's the funniest scene in my opinion.

The fusion of two time and space in one scene makes the audience think that the degree of association is so high and so awesome. When the audience looks at one picture, there is another picture in their minds!

From the captain's point of view

The picture is a dilapidated prison after the war. The sound is indeed the voice of Captain Ivan when he was in prison. The perspective of the captain is like the perspective of the audience. It has a unique sense of substitution and is especially worth learning! This is what makes me feel that the audio-visual of the old tower is very good!

This is how I felt the first time I watched it.

It's also a personal study note, if you don't like it, don't spray it. After reading it, I will continue to add 2021 8.9

    War is a nightmare, and childhood is a beautiful dream. In addition to reality and reality, at least one choice must be left for you.

    Based on Bogomolov's novel. The novel adopts Khaltsev's first-person pronoun, which is flat and straightforward. Tarkovsky decided to add Ivan's dream to the film. He wants Ivan to live on the screen in two sets of shots: one is the real world, where he is a scout, performing combat missions; and the other is the world of his dreams and memories. 00:02:41, the mother in the dream. 00:13:28, details of the composition of leaves and fruits. 00:17:03, the connection between reality and dream, the use of water. 00:18:31, the old tower's presentation of dreams is sharp and complete. 00:26:13, the wind blows the wooden door. 00:32:01, the empty mirror cuts off. 00:45:22, mirrors, lamp positions, installations. 00:57:01, flashlight, fisheye lens, sound effects. 01:00:36, the whole dispatch revolves around the mirror. 01:03:21, along the diagonal line of the table, pull out the three-person Xiaoquan from the single mid-range shot. 01:07:32, negative film, apples all over the floor. 01:31:45, empty mirror with onomatopoeia.

Ivan's Childhood quotes

  • Ivan's Mother: If a well is really deep, you can see a star down there even in the middle of a sunny day.

  • Ivan: Is he a Fritz too?

    Galtsev: He's either a German doctor or writer.

    Ivan: They have no writers. I saw them burning books in a square. They poured gasoline on them and set them on fire. There was soot in the air for a week.

    Galtsev: That writer lived 400 years ago.

    Ivan: Well, then maybe.
