Instead of publishing new reviews, talk about my studies or suggest new found curiosities around the network, this week I would like to dwell for a moment to analyze the system I chose to give a vote to film, or what the pros and cons. Beppe fact I pointed out his concerns about the validity of this method, which might give me the votes are too high or too low, since each pro and against each weighs the same on the final vote. Since I'm rather convinced of the goodness of this method, it seems appropriate to say a few words in defense of this system and take this opportunity to explain what my metrics.
The people rejoiced at the news in the cinema!
I think a lot of reviews that are located around Beijing of "objectivity." Who writes afraid to really express what he thinks and then takes advantage of structures that mean nothing but allow it to be smooth and a little questionable (ironic, huh?). It gives the plot, you talk about how the actors recite, he told some anecdotes about the film's production and little else. Rarely, however, is someone who really is to stop to analyze what this actor has done wrong or how they could be improved in certain scenes, and there are even fewer journalists who go on difficult issues such as positioning or the selection of shots. Most of the reviews said same things, and that he who writes does not know who is speaking and repeating what has already heard about, or do not even consider the possibility of down from the pedestal of objectivity and say clearly what is wrong WHY and say 'He appreciated certain choices or WHAT WAS CHANGED AND HOW.
objectivity But I do not care and I write what I like. I do not work for a magazine to sell that business as EMPIRE hosanna every fart in Hollywood. I'm not even writing an academic paper where I have to quote what some other expert has published the first to say anything. I am an aspiring filmmaker and I am keen to understand what works and what is not in the movies I watch, what makes them beautiful and interesting junk or emeritus, and how can I do to improve as a prospective employee in the industry. I want to use what I taught in universities to do the most thorough analysis possible, and do not in any way intend to deny being influenced by my personal taste, or try to ignore it. My goal is to write something that is truly worthy to be considered, and it looks new and interesting for people who have read reviews on the same stretch film here. And I intend to succeed in this task by using a scientific approach, as a professional, without hiding what are merely my personal opinions, which will surely can not be found anywhere else.
Empire: perfect for those looking for stories and previews, a waste for her reviews.
For me, the film represents the pinnacle of human art, since it contains within it everything else: image, music, literature, drama, science. The only property that is unique to cinema and art is nowhere to be found in any other assembly, but the rest is up to all that men have done for millennia. The enormous amount of work behind all this film depends on so many specialists that it is difficult at the end say who is really responsible for the final work. For convenience it is customary to give the director the same importance it gives to the writer of a book, but in reality he cooperate with many other artists - writers, composers, designers, cameramen, special effects people, actors ...
To properly evaluate a movie, then you should consider many aspects, and judge how each of them has been used and exploited in order to convey certain feelings in the viewer. When I watch a movie, then, these are the things that catch my attention and that item will be discussed in my reviews:
Screenplay
all start from here the literature. Some people like a book and decided to adapt for the screen, or have an original idea by thinking and writing his story directly to the cinema. Without a good writer is not going anywhere: If the jokes are disgusting and the story is banal there is an actor or special effect to hold. Unless the actors are not fashion models and was made a massive marketing campaign (but this is the area of \u200b\u200bBeppe, not mine).
Quentin Tarantino is famous for being affectionate to his screenplays.
So much so that if an actor just change a word, turning the scene over again.
Design
Everything about the look of a film, the colors of the clothes of the actors on the number of the boards of the set, is part of the design. This work, which is one of the earliest stages of pre-production on a film, is coordinated by a Production Designer laying down with the director who shall be the look of the film and gives guidelines for other designers involved. Often the merits of the designers are erroneously attributed to the photographer, who actually takes care of many other things.
An example of design, color palette of The Matrix:
virtual reality is dominated by green, blue from the real world.
Photography
Although the photographer to work closely with both designers with the director, addresses neither of which items should appear in the image or how they should be classified, but the person responsible for managing lights, lenses and film type. It seems a trivial task, but lights and shadows are the sorrow of every director and the photographer is there to help him not become prematurely bald.
photography of The Godfather was run by Gordon Willis, famous for its ability to manage the penumbra - exploited in this film to keep your eyes always hidden by Marlon Brando.
Directed
The work of the director is comparable to that of a conductor: it must tell others what to do. Less than a puppet in the hands of producers, it is he who says what is good in the script, design, photography, drama actors. Its task is to see the film in his head before it is finished, and to create the image accordingly. It is said that for him to manage the camera directly, but is still in him to choose the shots and their order. A good director also works closely with the ' editor in the editing room.
Acting
the actors probably touches the most thankless task of all: it weighs on their shoulders the sweat of writers, designers, photographers and hundreds of other people, and are forced to do and do the same thing endlessly until meet the needs of this little man sitting on a camping chair and with the megaphone in hand that will not ever be a good ... and once finished their work, thousands of people are ready to criticize their effort and blame about things that do not affect them either. But if they do their work, it may be that the actors take instead the merits of others. A good actor can be seen from how it manages the His body, his expressions and the way he talks to lend credibility to the character. The more the actor is good and the less you notice them to be watching a movie.
ruoletti After a series of so-so, this Australian boy of twenty-eight years had taken off with great performances in Brokeback Mountain , I'm Not There and The Dark Knight . His death is a great loss for the world of cinema.
Soundtrack
A key for every film. Even if the music does not get used as much as the iconic film to which they belong (Like the Main Theme and Imperial March Star Wars of ), are what make the difference between a home movie of the holidays and movie theaters. Music is a powerful tool to emphasize the dramatic or the irony of a scene, combined with certain recurring themes and characters, places or situations serve to recall their presence even when not actually see them.
Special Effects
In the field of special effects so many people who work there if I decide to say a word for each of them, this post lungherrimo already become at least three times longer. Artificer, responsible for animatronics, stuntmen, computer experts Graphics ... so on and so forth. In this area we also put the makeup, though they are officially regarded as a thing in itself (as in my reviews will not hold a schematic structure, this post I just need to list what are the things that I am aware). The special effects are so inflated now that now people do not make us even more the case, but their credibility is the difference between a boiata horror series B and the new Lord of the Rings . They are also what we, together with the installation, allow the film to be an art form really different from the theater.
you try to do it again in the same theater.
Assembly
I think of all the things to consider when judging a film, the editing is the most difficult to assess - and in fact is one that usually pays less attention. A good fitting is when the scenes follow one another with a groove and when a shot from the other and there is no difference as objects that magically change position, but not all. The role of the editor is so important that sometimes one wonders if the real author is the director instead of him, as it is during installation you choose how to put together the various scenes, and hence what meaning to build.
The Cutting Edge: The Magic of Movie Editing is a 2006 documentary that illustrates very well what constitutes the "invisible art" installation.
Production: various anecdotes &
Often you read reviews in magazines are mostly anecdotes about how the production took place: the director has found an extraordinary rookie writer, the main role was to be played by a star who has refused the part and has left the field open to another, to make the film was enslaved an entire tribe of monkeys with three heads, and so saying. All things irrelevant to the quality of the film, but they do a lot of broth. I'll talk about these things, but with a specific purpose: if the epic directed by Bruno Liege Bastonliegi life Ing Cane has cost one thousand trillion, but then the film is crap, this thing will be remembered - and weigh in against.
* * * So here we are to the point: how do you give a score from 1 to 10 to work as complex and involving so many people? Does it make sense? It 's interesting? Often when you give the votes in this way you are embarrassed because they make comparisons with the votes that are given to other movies. Give 10 means that is an incomparable masterpiece? If I give this movie a 7, and degrades the 7 that I have given over it?
I think a scale that has a minimum and maximum limit is reductive and binding, and also insignificant. I think that is much more exciting than counting the strengths and weaknesses of the work and judge accordingly. And I'm not going to assign a value to each of them: if he weighs an actor recite badly in one scene, for me takes away a point as much as the beautiful scenery found throughout the course of the film daughters make it another win . This is the perspective from which I have done here and here, and this is what INTED continue to take.
