When cultural relics restoration meets film art, what kind of sparks will be knocked out? On February 22, Ou Wanxuan, a student majoring in cultural relics restoration and protection of the Department of Culture and Art of Nanjing Mochou Secondary Professional School, walked into the classroom on time and began the elective study of "Art Popularization Education into Campus • Spring Light Film Education Class". For three hours, Teacher An Wenjing, the main speaker of the Chunguang Film Teaching Team, gave a vivid lecture, allowing students from all majors of the Department of Culture and Art to immerse themselves in the film world and experience the artistic charm of the interaction between light, video and sound at close range.
Learn mobile phone editing and make everyday life an expression material
If you want to show the cruelty of war, what editing techniques will you use? In the classroom, Ms. An Wenjing led the students to watch the film clips and understand the importance of editing in the movie. In the video brought by Mr. An, the director of the film flexibly combines the large panorama and the close-up through a set of black and white shots, coupled with the sad atmosphere of musical rendering, and the students feel the harm caused by the war immersively.
In order to let the students master the editing technology in their daily lives, in this lesson, Mr. An focused on the operation steps of the mobile phone editing software, and guided the students to use the interaction between picture and sound to completely present the story. "Mobile editing technology is an auxiliary tool that mainly provides students with an internal driving force, so that they have a way to express their desire to explore." Teacher An introduced that unlike the teaching methods of Chunguang Film Education in kindergartens, primary schools and junior high schools, students in the senior grades of Mo Shuo Secondary School can freely use mobile phones in their spare time, so the teaching team adjusted the teaching content in time to guide students to record and edit materials correctly with mobile phones. "The subsequent course design also includes script production, shooting, post-editing and other content, which will lead students to improve from technology to art."
It is reported that the Chunguang Film Education Class is affiliated to the "Art Popularization Education into the Campus" public welfare project, which is guided by the Propaganda Department of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Department of Education, sponsored by the Jiangsu Provincial Cultural Development Foundation, the Nanjing Municipal Education Bureau, and the Yangtze Evening News of Xinhua Newspaper Media Group, since its launch in September 2021, 8 schools have been selected in Nanjing to carry out the pilot teaching of five art courses such as calligraphy, music, dance, film and television, and art masters have entered the school and have close contact with students. Opening new doors for children in art education has been well received by students and teachers alike. With the beginning of the new semester, Nanjing Mochou Secondary Professional School, as one of the pilot schools, has also opened the exploration of the "Spring Light Film Education Class". Led by Zhu Chunguang, a veteran documentary filmmaker and judge of discovery's Emerging Directors Program, the course's teaching team will conduct elective courses at Mochou Secondary School every Tuesday.
Editing and restoration collide with a wonderful spark
"I'm very interested in movies myself, and this course is very suitable for the appeal of short video communication to our young people." Cultural relics restoration and protection professional ceramic restoration direction student 18 Gaogu 1 class Ou Wanxuan told reporters about the original intention of choosing courses. She told reporters that she usually shoots some short videos of daily life, and through the expert editing guidance of the teacher in the classroom, she tries to make a mediocre video vivid and interesting, and this sense of achievement makes her shout very directly: "It turns out that I can also make micro-films!" Ou said that after that, she wanted to shoot some videos of her own restoration of ceramics, so that more people could understand her professional content and the restoration of ancient cultural relics.
It is understood that this semester's "Spring Light Film Education Class" will be carried out in the form of elective courses among the fourth-year students of the five-year consistent college of the Department of Culture and Art of Mochou Secondary School, and students in the three directions of cultural relics restoration and protection, art design and animation design will choose to study together through the school group curriculum platform. The reporter noted that the children in the animation class in the selected courses were very enthusiastic, and they themselves had professional foundations such as composition and split-shot stage books, and the study of film courses was more targeted. The ancient cultivation major and the film course seem to have little connection, why are there many children who study ancient book restoration and ceramic restoration choose to take film elective courses? Liu Qian, director of the Department of Culture and Art of Mo Shuo Secondary School, explained, "In fact, in addition to traditional handmade manufacturing, students majoring in ancient cultivation also need to have the ability to innovate. Compared with physical displays, it is now more and more common to display cultural relics for three-dimensional digital modeling, which requires students to understand both history and basic knowledge of light and shadow effects. Director Liu expressed the hope that through the "Art Popularization Education into The Campus" public welfare project, the children of Mo Shuo Secondary School will broaden their horizons, integrate knowledge and apply it to professional fields, and promote professional learning and future development.
