Hornas Caron did not disappoint the students of Southern California. He walked onto the stage with cheers and waved gently to the students of Southern California off the stage; while the students of Southern California off the stage responded with even warmer applause and cheers, which was like a superstar coming.
During the battle in the same city, as long as he can defeat the other school, he will be the hero of the entire school and will win countless applause and cheers.
The lights went out and Karon's short video began to play.
When the first shot of Karon's short film appeared, the audience was shocked. Everyone knew that it was a premonition that it would be an extraordinary short film. Because the screen of the movie was divided into two and divided into two identical pictures. However, the audience could still see through the curtains with different colors in the room that these were two different rooms.
Sure enough, there is a hand raised on both sides, the left and right, the left is the man's hand, and the right is the woman's hand. The two hands open their respective curtains, outside the window are two completely different mature buildings, the left is Los Angeles full of modern atmosphere; the right is Paris full of old-fashioned buildings.
This man and woman live in different cities, but their actions are completely synchronized, taking a bath, making breakfast, making coffee, and reading newspapers. Of course, there are also differences. Men read financial news, while women read entertainment news. Next, the two walked out of the house at the same time, crossed the street, and took the subway.
Next, the two of them got on the bus at the same time, arrived at the airport, and boarded the plane. After a night of flight, they came to London, took the bus, came to London Bridge, and looked at each other on the bridge.
Caron's story is very simple, it is a Los Angeles man and a Parisian woman. The two met in London. However, his shooting technique was so awesome. All the shots were subjective shots, and then combined together through parallel montages.
Many people have played CSS, but the picture of CSS is actually a subjective shot. Take CSS as an example. A policeman and a bandit all rushed forward after the game started, and fired each other after meeting each other. If you shoot like this, it would be very ordinary, and Hornas Caron's way of shooting is to take half of the picture of the police. Then take half of the picture of the bandit and put together, the left half is the picture of the police and the right half is the picture of the bandit. The audience can see the rushing forward in both directions at the same time, which gives the audience a completely different feeling.
After the film was released, although they were unwilling to give up, UCL students had to applaud with the students of the University of Southern California. This short film is really great, applying parallel montages and subjective shots to the extreme, and can only be described as perfect.
Among the judges, Spielberg looked at Coppola and smiled and said, "There is no doubt. This year's winner should be this short film! The full subjective shot and parallel montage have been achieved to the extreme, and there is no better work!"
Coppola was a little unhappy. He graduated from UCLa and definitely hoped that the students from his alma mater would win. However, this short film by Hornas Caron is too powerful, and it is almost impossible to win. However, he refused to give in to his old friends: "It's too early to say this. Although this work is very creative, it has many flaws. I believe that better works will appear later!"
Spielberg smiled softly: "You can't use your level to ask students. The key is to have ideas. This short film uses subjective shots and parallel montages to the extreme, and there is no suspense to the outcome!"
At this moment, the students in the audience were also discussing heatedly.
"All lenses are subjective lenses, and they are combined with parallel montages. This idea is simply perfect. It seems that we won again!"
"This short film is so wonderful, and the conception is so clever! The two people in love are in New York and Paris respectively. They do the same things in different places, drinking coffee, reading newspapers, and taking buses. They traveled thousands of miles this day just to meet each other."
"This short film is so amazing. It may be a bit difficult to win the USC this time!"
Soon, all five judges gave their own scores, and Hornas Caron's short film "A Love Story" won a horror score of 9.9!
Almost all the students of the University of Southern California danced, sang and danced, and cheered loudly. There was no suspense anymore, and the winner this time must be from the University of Southern California.
Listening to the applause and cheers of the students from the University of Southern California around him, Jason smiled and looked up at UCL. There were too many people present, and he didn't know where Zhang Ran was. But he said in his heart, how about it? It's amazing! Take out your work now, don't let me down!
Just as the students of the University of Southern California were cheering, the students of ulca began to shout Zhang Ran’s name together. The short film of Hornas Caron is too strong, and now they can only place their hopes on their heroes.
"Robin! Robin!"
Zhang Ran shook his head gently when he heard everyone shouting his name. An important person like me should be the finale. It would be too shameful to appear early! However, everyone is so enthusiastic that he can't let everyone go, take off his disguise, and walk towards the stage.
Just as Zhang Ran walked onto the stage, the students from UCL below burst into shocking cheers; while the students from the University of Southern California booed together, which was like a slight and fire.
Robert Rosen, among the judges, is the former dean of ulca and a film critic. He glanced at Spielberg: "Hornas Caron's short film was very good, but now the person who can defeat him is here!"
Coppola said curiously: "Why, this student is very high?"
Robert Rosen nodded slightly: "This student is called Zhang Ran. He has made three movies so far, including "Explosive Drummer" and "Time and Space Warrior". I hope he will become the second Ang Lee!"
Coppola suddenly smiled, looked at Spielberg, and said with a smile: "How is it, I'm too early!"
Spielberg smiled slightly: "I have watched "The Breaking Drummer". This student has high lights, compositions, and scheduling standards. But he is more conservative in his use of the camera. If he compares the lights and compositions, he will definitely win. But this time he compares the abnormal shooting, which is not his strength!"
Coppola smiled and shook his head: "I went to Scorsese's "Aviator" set a few days ago to visit the set. I asked him, you usually have to take a break after filming a movie, but why did you start filming so anxiously this time? Scorsese said that I met a young man in Berlin, and he also wanted to shoot a story about flying. After talking to him, I had the urge to give up the story. The young man's idea was so special! If I didn't shoot now, I would probably not have the courage to shoot this story when the young man finished filming. I was very surprised and asked, what was the young man's name? He told me that his name was Zhang Ran!"
Spielberg was stunned: "Are you kidding?"
Coppola shook his head: "Do you think I'll joke about Scorsese's reputation? Do you know how Zhang is going to shoot that movie about flying? He is going to use horizontal movements for all the shots!"
Spielberg was stunned and then nodded slowly: "What a crazy young man!"
The lights in the auditorium went out and Zhang Ran's short video began to play.
The doorbell rings in a tall building.
Zhang Jingchu opened the door, and Feng Yuan appeared in the camera. Zhang Jingchu looked at Feng Yuan in confusion. She didn't know this person.
Feng Yuan was stunned and said nervously: "Hello!"
Zhang Jingchu smiled and said, "Hello!" After saying that, she looked at Feng Yuan, wanting to know what was wrong with the other party, but Feng Yuan was stunned and didn't say anything, just looked at herself. She was a little confused and said, "Hello!"
Feng Yuan was stunned and still didn't say anything, just looking at her. Zhang Jingchu frowned and then closed the door.
Just as the door closed, the camera switched. Feng Yuan walked to the door, looked left and right, took out the notes and righted them. After confirming that it was this family, he pressed the doorbell.
The camera switched again, Feng Yuan stood downstairs, looked up at the upper floor, and then walked towards the building.
After seeing this, everyone understands that this story is told backwards.
At this moment, the picture suddenly became very blurry, a bit like a flashback lens. There was a mirror in the picture, and Hu Jun in his pajamas appeared in the camera. Then the camera moved horizontally to the left, and Zhang Jingchu stood on the balcony and smiled at the camera.
The screen switches. In the living room, Hu Jun was sitting on the sofa and making a phone call, talking about business matters. Zhang Jingchu walked into the living room with a travel suitcase. Looking at Hu Jun, he looked very unhappy. He was about to go out, why was he still making a phone call?
Hu Jun said apologetically: "Wait a minute, just a minute!" After calling, Hu Jun picked up his clothes and walked towards Zhang Jingchu.
The story of the movie is too broken, and the audience is confused and has no idea what they are talking about.
Bar, crazy music. Feng Yuan asked for a glass of wine, then took out a sketch of a woman, which was exactly what Zhang Jingchu looked like. Feng Yuan asked in a daze: "Have you seen this woman?"
The bartender shook his head: "I haven't seen it before!"
The blurry scene appeared again, Zhang Jingchu sat in front of the bar and drank a glass of wine, then shook her head wildly to the music.
The screen switches, Zhang Jingchu and Hu Jun get off the upstairs, sit in the car, and then drive the car to prepare for a trip.
Feng Yuan was stunned in the studio to draw. Suddenly, his head hurt, and a blurry picture flashed in front of his eyes. It was a woman's face. He didn't know what was going on, but endured a severe headache and drew out the woman's appearance.
The camera switched to the car again, Hu Jun drove absent-mindedly, and Zhang Jingchubai was bored out the window. Suddenly, a car rushed out of the side and hit Hu Jun and the others' cars.
The whole world was spinning, and then an ambulance alarm sounded.
At the entrance of the hospital, Feng Yuan, whose eyes were black, walked out of the hospital and looked into the sky with half-closed eyes. He was a little uncomfortable with the strong light. But his expression was very excited, just like a long drought and a long time ago.
At the door of the emergency room, Zhang Jingchu looked at the red light in fear of the emergency room, folded her hands together, and restless. At this moment, the light in the emergency room went out and the door was pushed open. Zhang Jingchu walked over and looked at the doctor with a pleading look. However, the doctor just shook his head gently. Zhang Jingchu's body softened and sat directly on the ground.
The screen switched to the front desk of the hospital. Zhang Jingchu took a document from the nurse and signed her name. The title of the document reads "corneal transplant".
The camera switched to the ward, and Feng Yuan sat on the bed, his eyes tightly wrapped around him by bandages. A doctor came over and removed the bandages, revealing the two eye sockets that were slightly black because they had not seen the sun for too long.
The short film ends here.
The audience suddenly realized and understood what was going on in the whole story. The heroine and her husband went out for a trip and encountered a car accident. The heroine died in the car accident. The heroine transplanted her husband's cornea to the hospital. Unexpectedly, the cornea had memories, and the scenes of memory would continue to appear. The hero found the heroine based on the scene he saw. The story was actually very simple, but it was divided into two lines. The heroine was told in normal chronological order, while the hero was told in the backwards.
The short film was very exciting, but this time it was compared with abnormality, not storytelling ability. Karon's short film was a fully subjective shot, plus a parallel montage, which was obviously a win. So when the short film was finished, the students of the USC burst into strong cheers, and they sang and danced to celebrate the victory.
"Win, haha!"
"This short film can't be compared with Hornas's!"
"We in Southern California are the best, and we won again this time!"
UCLa students were a little frustrated. Zhang Ran was their strongest player, but now Zhang Ran is about to lose, and it seems that there is no hope this year.
Josh Trunk saw the students around him playing with eggplant like frost, and smiled and said, "Why are you being depressed? We may not lose today's game!"
Hearing Josh Truck say this, UCL's students were shocked: "What? Do we have more powerful students?"
"No, I mean Zhang's short film may not necessarily lose to Hornascalon. Didn't you notice it? Zhang's short film's lenses are not pushed or pulled, nor panned, they are all shifted shots, and they are all horizontal cameras! He is such a crazy guy!" Josh Trank sighed softly, "I'm far behind these real geniuses!"
After hearing Trank say this, the students around him thought about it and it was true. Zhang Ran's short films were all horizontally moving shots. But they still didn't understand: "It's nothing great to use horizontally moving shots all, there are many horizontally moving shots in the movie!"
Josh Trank shook his head gently: "It is not uncommon to have horizontally moved shots in the movie, but the use of horizontally moved shots in the whole movie is anti-film grammar, and it can even be said to be anti-film!"
[The 515 is coming soon. I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list. By May 15th, the red envelope rain can give back to readers and promote works. It is also love, so it will definitely be better!] (~^~)
ps: I don’t have the ability to write a short film for Karon, so I can only copy one. His short film is called "Split Screen: A Love Story", while Zhang Ran’s short film is "Time Game "Influence". In addition, I would like to thank "Zhang Erque, Fengxue Youxiang, Jiujiu Opera" for the reward! Thanks to the friends who voted for the monthly vote!
Chapter completed!
