Every picture and sound is stitched together into a complete video.

The sound at the back of the whole video was recorded by myself, using my phone to record some sound effects that matched the images in the video.

The original way of drawing.

It’s a story about a world in which every creature is taught a worldview that survival must be worthwhile.The main character of the story begins at the countdown of the clock, the day when human beings are going to become more valuable.The snake itself has no value, but the snakeskin bag has value.Antlers are not valuable in themselves, but they are valuable as a coat hanger….The protagonist arrives at work, and everyone is reading books and newspapers about value. She is called to the office and signs the terms of voluntary transformation into objects.

I want to to the “value” as a theme, through a different Angle to call on the importance of animal protection and don’t define the animals.

The Shining is a cinematic experience

The Shining was directed by Stanley Kubrick and released in 1980. It is considered one of the greatest horror films of all time.Adapted from Stephen King’s novel of the same name, the film mainly tells the story of Jack’s family in the distant look at the hotel during a series of horrific encounters.

The third is the horror film, but the creation of the sense of terror rarely makes use of the unexpected sudden scare, more is a psychological fear brought about by the use of camera language, which is equivalent to the feeling of aftertaste and back row.The techniques used by the director in the film can be called textbook roots.Many films have had an impact since.At the heart of the film’s horror is the concept of danger in a confined space.So in the movie, whether it’s the hotel peak of the snowstorm or the room by room in the hotel, the closed road of the hedge maze, or even the grid on the carpet.But the context in which the characters are talking.

These marketing elements all emphasize the concept of enclosed space over and over again in the minds of the audience.Therefore, the potential danger for the leading role is foreshadowed.And then the second is the color system that underlines the danger by making it difficult to light up the background of the room with reddish objects in many scenes of the film.And the blue and green colds represent the safe environment or mood.The colors of the Imperial City are intermediate.Rooms that look out at hotels can be dangerous, safe or somewhere in between.

It is worth noting that Kubrick does not use isolated and light color symbols because of this implication.It is a kind of preparation, even from the first interior scene in the film.For example, during an interview, the map next to the office is like a grid of many closed Spaces, with red, green, yellow and blue cities.And this one doesn’t look like the one overlooking the hotel.It was arranged by the director because the map was very visible in the shot.If you don’t want to highlight him, it makes sense for the art to be more photostealing, and the map to be more mundane, like a wall clock on the right.

But Kubrik was more than we thought. Because in the last beat of this long shot, just a very bright word, he encounters in our minds this idea of red, green, yellow, blue, and enclosed space.
Notice that he looks at the map of the next room in the same place, and this painting is indeed the most vivid and attractive in the picture at this time.
For example, although the classic room 237 has a female aging lady challenge, it makes people think it’s very scary.
Take a black room in a scene. At first, the upper part of the black subjective shot is a yellow emotion, close to the neutral black naked woman. When the next shot is pulled out, the corresponding position in the room will be found. There is a red naked girl. And that means that nude-neutral women have become dangerous.
So in fact in the next shot, the change from a woman to an old woman was already hinted at in the sequence of the previous scene.
It is important to note that the effect of this information on attention is not on the conscious area but on the unconscious area.
The audience does not logically sense the existence of these arrangements, but the information is implanted in the audience’s mind and sets the mood and story for the future. These are the thoughts of the director. If we revisit the whole text, we will find that this premeditated arrangement is habitual.
That is to say, the director is so precise and patient in his treatment of this work that he can’t find any recklessness in the plot treatment. And compared to coming up at the drop of a hat on a scare technique, I have eaten admirable.
There are many interpretations of the details of the film. One of the most famous documentaries, Room 237, discussed many of the details of the film.

The feeling after watching the film.CCS

In my opinion, today’s mass culture can basically be equated with the Internet culture. If the various phenomena in the Internet, I think it is not difficult to find a few points:
Fast, short cycle: a word, a song, a person, may be exposed quickly because of a short video, a drama, or a variety show, but the life cycle is not very long. The Internet makes it easy to forget, there’s so much going on… Stinking fish and rotten shrimp can also occupy a part of the network resources. If you think about the traffic mentioned, and compare it with previous stars, you will find that influence is not a class at all.
Low age and easy manipulation: mass culture belongs to young people to a certain extent. With the rapid development of the Internet, most of the leaders of mass culture are teenagers or even younger, which also leads to a lot of low age phenomenon. For example, the rice circle culture is prevalent, and I will not comment on whether it is good or bad. Everyone has his own passion, which is understandable. However, if he has not shaped his own three views, he is easy to be assimilated in the mass wave, and also easy to be manipulated.
The phenomenon of following the trend is serious: I will not repeat this, such as subtitles.
Surprise supreme: operators like to use the title to create gimmicks, producers will also make eye-catching people behavior, the supremacy of curiosity, click rate pagewise.

On the other hand, it is about the elderly people’s attitude towards the current popular culture and being in an incomprehension. I don’t think it’s just some habit of mind that started a long time ago.
For example, today they are more willing to go to the popular culture of the time. If something doesn’t have essential meaning, or some kind of cultural meaning to it, they don’t think it’s in the mainstream right now.
And then instead of approaching and learning from them, they keep their original ideas and concepts to deal with the current situation. For example, there are still a lot of elderly people do not use the Internet to search for information, they are more inclined to trust books and newspapers and so on.

Every era has its own characteristics and context, and I hope that mass culture can be more inclusive. I also hope that each of us has the ability to distinguish right from wrong, to discover and pursue what we love.
