🎬Obstruction1:
- Obstruction
– No more than 12 frames per edit
– Each question must be answered
– Shot in Cuba
– No sets
- How Jorgen coped
– Small movements
– Switching between far and near views of the same action
– Different view switches for the same action (e.g. left and right)
– Repetition of the same action/scene, appearing multiple times
- Effects on the film
– Jorgen originally thought it would be the same as Spasm (to be honest I felt a little dizzy while watching it)
– The result is that the movie has Leth Film overtones, a godsend
– Show an all-round perfect man
🎬Obstruction2:
- Obstruction
– Shooting in a most miserable place
– A place he wouldn’t normally shoot
– Dramatic scenes derived from real life (not explicitly showing the place)
– Jorgen playing a man
– Keep the food, no women
- How Jorgen coped
– Shoot in the red light district of Bombay
– Wall of people isolated behind a translucent screen
– Perfect people eating gracefully, hungry children behind them isolated behind a barrier
– Jorgen didn’t eat Valium even though he was nervous
– No imitation of the original actor because it was the actor’s own improvisation at the time
- Effects on the film
– Great sense of contrast and contrasts, the elegance of perfect people and the hunger of people in the red light district
– Still very good
– We can still see these people (in the background) and we can know where the place is, not loyal enough to the main idea of the obstacle
– Has a Faustian color
🎬Obstruction3
- Obstruction
– Reshoot a completely unrestricted film in the way Jorgen thinks is best (losing the grip, the hardest part is getting beyond his finished product)
or
– Back to Bombay
- How Jorgen coped
– Chose to reshoot in the best way
– Chose actors with a lot of experience (stories in their eyes)
– Laid out a lot of to-do lists to arrange the scenes he wanted to shoot
– Adopted the diptych format
– Added color
– The background is constantly changing
- Effects on the film
– Increased the plot of the movie
– The idea is more profound, more completely showing the perfect person. In my understanding, it seems to show the perfect person‘s not perfect side
🎬Obstruction4(My Favourite Version)
- Obstruction
– Making a Cartoon
- How Jorgen coped
– Use old material and make something new, combining many things from the previously filmed version
– Added a lot of new dialogues and contexts
– Consulted with a reputable illustrator to discuss animation style, colors, etc.
- Effects on the film
– The newly added contexts are very realistic and show their current emotional state
– The picture completely breaks through the time limit, using splicing and other methods to integrate the previous versions (the human movement and geographical location are no longer constrained. Some unnecessary things are omitted, and what is emphasized is magnified. The background is clean and tense, serving the subject well)
– Changes of colors have very strong impact, bringing a very comfortable feeling
– The switch is very smooth
🎬Obstruction5
- Obstruction
– Composed of clips edited by Lars
– Titled by Jorgen
– Jorgen reads the script given to him by Lars as a voice-over
- How Jorgen coped
– Do what Lars told him to do
- Effects on the film
– Reveals the essential purpose of these obstacles – to help Jorgen heal his depression and look away
– Shows very realistically that even perfect people fall down
– Captures the most realistic, perfect people, ordinary, torn, constantly on the up and up, striving for perfection
🎬Other thoughts:
1Similar mental state(critique/constant self entanglement/pain)
I think this person’s mental state is too similar to that of the Communications Lab students! Faced with the task of meditation, can not find the grip. Come up with an idea: happy!Find it too hard to put into practice: frustrated. Long hours of silence and frowning thinking. Faced with critique: again falling into the contemplation. After finishing the work: think how to improve, constantly self-corrected, push ourselves.
2 The courage to challenge weaknesses and the value of “shit”
We all tend to do what we are good at when we do our homework and stay in our comfort zone. Because we want what we make to be as good as it can be, not a piece of shit. And in this documentary, Lars wanted to catch Jorgen’s weakness, wanted him to make shit, and wanted to give him the courage to make shit. In fact, shit is a manifestation of an artist’s boldness to try. The birth of shit tells us that everyone is not perfect, we are all just ordinary and common people who strive to be good. We can try to improve ourselves, but we don’t need to be the perfect man.
3Discontent with the requirements, but will continue to participate in it and challenge ourselves.
Despite the fact that we sometimes find the requirements are crazy, unreasonable and we may complain about it a lot, we will still go all length to make it. This is because everyone has a winning spirit. We want to defeat the impossible, complete tasks successfully, to prove to ourselves and others that we can do it.
4″People always want to make a better movie”
“You always want to do it too perfectly”
Is the pursuit of perfection a good thing or not? It’s hard to say. The pursuit of perfection allows one to constantly improve his work and make it better. But the truth is that nothing is perfect. The perfectionist who doesn’t give himself the opportunity to make mistakes can get himself tangled up and depressed and become miserable. Jorgen has created too much too good work, and he carries too much baggage on his back. He feels he had to make better films, but that isn’t necessarily the truth. There are times when it’s important to unburden ourselves to succeed.
5The desire to continue
When our work is unsatisfactory and questioned, we begin to wonder if we have any need to continue. A person’s love of art starts out as a hobby, yet when he begins to achieve something, he begins to get wrapped up in the success or failure of his work. The pure love of art is replaced by the success or failure of one’s work. We no longer enjoy creating and have no desire to go on because we care too much about the outcome.
6Why hate cartoons
Cartoons are interesting! Why do they hate it!!!??? Cartoons are not stupid at all!!!
7The perfect man fall down too. How should we define “perfect”.
Perfection is never the absence of flaws, but the acceptance of the ordinary and the striving for the extraordinary. The perfect man also has the right to fall down. Tolerating his shortcomings is also a sure way to become a perfect person.
