Since the Lumière brothers screened "Factory Gate" in Paris, "24 frames" seems to be an integral part of film art.
60 years later, Fred Kinneman tried to use 30 frames to shoot the musical "Oklahoma" , but it failed to cause other directors to follow suit. The higher the frame rate of
, the smoother and more realistic moving images can be brought. Whether it is a mobile phone or a computer, a high frame rate is a product experience that people want.
is the only movie, with 24 unchanging frames. The
film is gradually replaced by digital technology, the model makeup is helped by computer special effects, and the 2D screen becomes 3D, which means that the frame rate cannot accept more advanced technology. What is the reason for
?
director Peter Jackson once publicly stated that the film company has always adopted 24 frames, and is not because it is the best, but because it is the cheapest.
It is true that studios will control costs, but it is not uncommon for filmmakers who dare to throw money. The success of "Avatar" and is the success that Fox Pictures believes in James Cameron and has spent more than 200 million US dollars.
The audience is satisfied, more directors are willing to shoot, and the theaters are also willing to invest in more advanced screening equipment.
As long as a big director dares to play, the trend can be brought up.
In 2012, Peter Jackson tried to put 48-frame technology on the fantasy blockbuster "The Hobbit" . The frame rate is doubled, and the audience's viewing experience is very different.
However, things are not as he imagined. There was no hard-to-find ticket in the 48-frame session. The market performance was relatively bleak, and the audience's response was more controversial than admired.
has no sense of cinema.
The high-definition smooth picture is the loss of movie texture.
Lee Ann also encountered the same problem when he took out the 120 frame format. Even if he added 4K and 3D technology.
"Billy Lynn's Midfield War" , the audience can see the actor's rich facial details, the ashes of every spot in the firework show, and the bullets flying around in the war scene. The veritable "immersive experience" has been mocked as "HD TV".
"Gemini Killer" , Ang Lee learned his lesson and wanted to use more night scenes and action scenes to show the power of 120 frames. The train at the beginning of
, the flies are just a small test. When the young Will Smith appeared and started the chase scene with 51-year-old Will Smith, the refreshing feeling of 120 frames came out. The previous action movies of
, even if they are in IMAX format, most of the crash scenes when chasing cars are flashed by, and freehand is more than realistic. 120 frames of "Gemini Killer" 's car chase scene is more realistic than freehand. When Will Smith rides a motorcycle and knocks down a car, everything is just like happening in front of his eyes. The screen’s "separation" at a certain moment It seemed to be broken.
In the fighting scene at night, almost every action can be seen clearly. It is conceivable that if "Batman v Superman" was shot in 120 frames, the effect would definitely be better. Because 120 frames compensated the problem of the brightness of the original 3D movie being too dark.
just once returned to Wenxi, the movie sense of "Gemini Killer" disappeared instantly.
Even if Ang Lee still uses his usual technique and the actors are movie-level actors such as Will Smith, it is hard to avoid the illusion of "I am watching high-definition TV in the cinema". It is impossible for
movies to have no literary drama. If 120 frames want to become the mainstream, it must be distinguished from the texture of TV drama in literary drama. Or, wait for the day when viewers are fully adapted to the perception of high frame rates. The big difference between
movies and TV shows is that the contrast of light and dark is obvious. 's different lighting, angle, depth of field, color, composition, props, sound and other audiovisual languages can convey the information the director wants to convey. The high brightness and high definition of 120 frames of
sometimes affect the director’s expression and weaken the artistry of the work. The failures of
Peter Jackson and Ang Lee proved that the main reason why high frame rate movies are difficult to promote is not the cost. The film company refuses to spend money, but 24 frames can better express the artistry of the movie., Most filmmakers and audiences are used to this kind of artistry. People should not forget that film is an art.
loyal to traditional film masters not only prefer the "fuzziness" brought by 24 frames, but also insist on using film to shoot.
Quentin Tarantino said that if the film cannot be presented in 35 cm film, people are just watching TV in the cinema.
The difference between "movie" and "video" is not only the photographer's thoughts, but also the photography specifications. The mottled feeling of
film cannot be replaced by digital technology. Nolan understands this well, so he always chooses film to make movies if he has the ability to obtain resources.
film and 24 frames are "imperfect", but because of this, the film is more attractive.
When Wang Jiawei was shooting "Chongqing Forest" , it was difficult to shoot normally because of the shooting location of Chungking Mansions. The footage was so shaken that it was impossible to see. What about
?
Wong Kar-wai had an idea and simply took the method of drawing frames, just wants you to see clearly.
did not expect to do this, he played out his own unique artistic style.
As the saying goes, seeing is believing. This is not the case with
movies.
Many times, movies are mysteriously attractive because many things are invisible and unclear. It's like a dream, fuzzy, and then I go back to think about it, aftertaste. The
high frame rate movie exposes everything in front of the camera, but it loses its "dream machine" characteristics.
Of course, the high frame rate is by no means useless, if you want to show action fighting or futuristic, 120 frames is definitely a better choice.
24 frames cannot be replaced, but it does not mean that 24 frames are the only format for movies. All technical means of
are to better present the script, performance, theme and other content, and the frame rate is no exception. In other words, the 24 frame can be divided and assembled as parts.
movies are diversified, not only high frame rate movies are impacting traditional film art, streaming media, pipelined popcorn production, digital technology, etc., all affect and change the original appearance of movies.
blindly exclude each other, it is better to explore how to merge with each other. It is a tragedy if
loses film, 24 frames, and cinema in the future; if
is still the way it is in a hundred years, it will probably be replaced by new entertainment methods, such as in "Number One Player" "Oasis". Only by combining with new things and keeping up with the pace of the times can
sail forever in the long river of human history.
Every time I am broken in love, I will go running, because running can evaporate the excess water in my body, so it is not easy to cry. —— "Chongqing Forest"
