Damien Chazere – Burst Drummer whiplash (2014)
The use of light in "The Drummer" is very clever.
You can see a variety of light levels, and there is a strong contrast created by the light.
When playing music scenes, use Shunguang more. Used to shape the overall feel of the band. And the band is mostly brass instruments. Therefore, when photographing musical instruments and people, musical instruments can easily become the focus of vision. So the audience tends to be more immersed in the atmosphere of the band.
Visual use of brass instruments
When the plot begins to contradict the characters, it is more likely to use side light and side backlight, and follow the backlight. This makes the characters more three-dimensional, the portrayal of the characters' expressions is more prominent, and most of the characters' expressions are angry during the conflict, and a strong chiaroscuro contrast will more express the closed psychology of the characters.
The composition of the above picture and the depth of field deliberately caused by light and the depth of the scene are used to express the fate of the characters in the multi-layered space. At the same time, it seems to be used to satisfy the audience's desire to snoop.
The use of light in the scene is also very distinctive, and warm colors are often used in the middle room, but the scene black and the character costumes are also mostly used in black and other dark colors. Therefore, in this closed and narrow environment, this warm color will become a foil, often because of the character's expressiveness and exaggerated action performance becomes depressed. So if there are many panoramas to show the scene of musical performance, it will seem depressing and unnatural, but close-up characters and instruments with the lens will make the proportion of bright in the picture higher, and will temporarily get rid of this depression. And with a lot of different shots, quick editing. Constant jumping also makes forgetting certain anxieties.
In terms of playing on the stage, the characters often use backlights to show Fletcher's sense of oppression. At the beginning of the movie, the city is shaped with cool colors. Because the scenes are mostly night, the city also has a jazzy flavor.
The shots are good at reusing a fixed close-up at the end of the climax, close-up of the sweat of the bone at the most intensive time of the classics, and the footage below Andrew's side is used many times when Andrew and Fletcher begin to make intensive eye contact. There will also be wrestling and panning as the music changes.
When portraying the fear and anxiety of the characters, they often use push shots. At the beginning of the film, the long shots and push shots also focus on Andrew, giving the audience Fletcher's perspective.
