14:00-15:00 designing the sound for the gospel of us

I very interesting in this lecture because I have read brief in the introduction hand book.

National theatre wale’s the passion was one of the most ambitious productions ever staged in the UK. Supported by over 1000 community volunteers and taking place over 3days in star Michael sheen’s home town of Port Talbot creating s film version of this huge live event was never going to be an easy task. The resulting film the gospel of us was directed by Dave McKean who worked with hundreds of hours of visual and audio footage. The arduous task of pulling together the dozens of sound files was given to experience sound mixers Dai shell and Eleanor Russell who will talk about the trials and tribulations of mixing the film.

I have done several videos, so I think the sound in the film is very important. The film sound is one of the basic elements of the film medium. It makes the film from pure visual media to a combination of audio-visual media, so that the relative spatial and temporal structure in silent films in the past is manifested by visual factors, the relative spatial and temporal structure becomes manifested through visual and auditory factors. The mainly characteristics of sound is convey different feeling.

Dai shell and Eleanor Russell Stated the experience. The sound can make more complex plot twists and turns, the characters richer and more complete thoughts and feelings and emotions more delicate. 

15:00-16:30 international fiction

This lecture mainly watches film. Relay to the lecture title, I think these film should be feature in international fiction.

The first film is F5. Kate and Galya are two students of Chelyabinsk Institute of Culture. They are sent to an international festival with the choreographic performance. Girls believe that their modernistic dance will impress the audience and the jury. That means they will win a tour, and the world of high art, But they also had doubted his ability.

This is short film, but in a short period of time, the film successfully shows the two main characters the delicate changes of the heart. The drama very rhythmic, from hard work, to the hesitation at the last moment, all film drives the mood of the audience pity and doubts. Moment in the final applause, rhythm reaches the highest point. This film combines with dance art, making A beautiful side of human nature contrast to the highest point.

at the end, I thinking about how to do a compact plot of the film.this is my
favorite film


the second film is La Madre(the mother). Javier and Elisa have committed murder. Mary, Javier"s mother, must decide whether or not to assist her son.I think the film through a mother's choice, to liquidate the conscience of humanity.Tell this is a contradiction choice, love is two sides, love can make people hurt, also can let a person very warm.

The third film is Intet kan rote mig( nothing can touch me). The outsider Katrine survives a school shooting and is the only one to see who the shooter is. The hunt for the boy begins, and slowly Katrine realizes that she has more in common with him than any of her other classmates.

After I watch this film, I fine out that this film and the other two movies, succeeded in shaping a person's personality traits.
