I don’t like "Presidential Team" very much. This is my truth. Of course, the film has enough eye-catching style, performance worth watching, and the right rhythm brought by the solid script, but there are other things I love. On the other hand, apart from the great sociological significance of the film, there is nothing to tell. More criticism and reflection, and even the philosophy or humanistic exploration of the film itself, is almost zero. "Achieved the ultimate, EMMM. This article is written mainly for what I mentioned in the previous editorial-style diaries, a guess of the direction of the best film production in China in the next few years, how to make only stylized movies to lead the new trend. Therefore, this article becomes more popular and hopes to get more people's support.
This film is a news movie and a textbook for American news movies. The main reason lies in the newsness and recordability that he added to the narrative. The opening typewriter and excerpts from the news film, coupled with the noisy background sound (I have to say, the sound effect is very good, it is very boring to listen carefully...), which implies the style of the film, and the modified news story. The photography of "Yideng Master" also laid a good canvas for the narrative style, with a large number of eye-catching night scenes and proper lens movements, as well as god-like lighting (the hotel was already quite amazing at the beginning, and the interior scene was also very impressive. No), so that the picture fits the plot perfectly.
Following the photography, we continue to watch. With the help of the photographer, the recording elements of the picture are also perfectly projected into our eyes. The change of viewpoint and focus in the office makes it easy to highlight the status of journalists and the media elements they use (similar to DePalma’s Sao operation). The phone, the crowd, and the white wall are all wonderfully designed, and while the composition is calm, it is also very convenient to show the difference in state. Drawing on several wonderful color settings of Italian political treatment, while serving the plot, it also expresses the reporter's exploratory relationship. It is indeed wonderful.
Some people may ask, the expression of so many things that are not news itself, but characters, will destroy the realistic style. Yes, but the director has rounded out this strange feeling through the design of the plot. If you divide the film into three parts simply, you will find that the first and second parts can be used as a mix of news films and documentaries about the two reporters, especially when the court interviews a scene at the beginning and the night is neutralized by the two. The conversation of the newspaper boss, through editing, is quite intriguing. In the second paragraph, in order to reflect the narrative of the genre, and to complement the rhythm and the rigid transition brought by the first two styles, the appeal element was added to many photography, and even had a surreal feeling ( The night scene meeting, SIIII...) Although it was inevitable that there were some shortcomings, it also set an example and provided experience for later movies.
Not much to say, look at the picture.
Okay, this is my personal interpretation "mainly it is difficult to dig out things that can work for my own expectations", I still hope that one day this article can inspire others, especially those who design movies! If you are lucky enough to read this article and are destined, I still want to say to you, thank you.
