Focusing on tiny details, there is a reason for every trivial matter to be there. Light reflecting and color changing can imply the mood of the protagonist, while the repeated occurrence of the trivial symbols can be regarded as a hint or clue related to the plot. There is also such a clue in the Subaru commercial we saw tonight. Each scene of the narrator’s life contains a different car, emphasizing this commercial movie may have a strong relationship with cars. I have to say that this commercial movie is not what I used to think. Hiding advertisement carefully in each scene of the movie, it may not be easy for audiences to spot their intention unless the movie comes to the end. Trying to capture everything that is in the camera may deepen the understanding for not only the plots but the techniques using in movies, which may need to be practiced sedulously.
Actually when I entered the seminar for this event, I was just thinking about some specific skills or tricks to improve my writing. Talking about blogs mainly on how to analysis a movie is really more intriguing. During the seminar, we learned different perspectives for movies analyzing like trying to focus on the sound, cinematography, editing or Mise-en-scene, which means everything we can see in front of the camera. Usually when I watch a movie, I will mainly follow the camera and the screen without trying to figure out how the sound changes and what the role of the light will play. After analyzing in specific aspect, I may need to watch some of the classic movies again and apologize for what I missed. It is also quite interesting to snap on the cut which can help us pay more attention to the quick but coherent changes in the movie.
