After the presentation week, Robin provided me with many valuable suggestions. My research focuses on the use of color in the scene, which may arise from what I have learned this semester. Moreover, Robin sends me annotating to help me analyze my subject further. In addition, I have made some adjustments to the content of my research. My topic is Why Wong Kar-wai’s film The Grandmaster is the most distinctive in martial arts films? I will analyze this movie to study why this is a successful martial arts movie. I will start with Camera coverage in The Grandmaster (camera shots, shot angle, camera movement) and slow motion. And Actor’s superb acting skills. These aspects of studying my topic.

Furthermore, this week we discussed plan sequence. The word comes from French. We call it ‘long take’ in English. The long take, also known as the plan sequence, is an uninterrupted sequence(Ra Konigsberg’s “The Complete Film Dictionary”). In the course of the first few weeks, I learned that long take is a shooting technique. The “long take” here does not refer to the length or focal length of the physical lens, nor the distance between the photographic lens and the subject, which is the time distance between the start and stop points of the shooting, that is the length of the movie clip. In addition, in class, we focused on the importance of long take, and the main aspects of the use of “long take”. By reading more information about it long take, there are two characteristics of long take. First of all, the time and space recorded by the long take are continuous. The long take does not interrupt the natural process of time and maintains the uninterrupted nature of the time process, which is consistent with the actual time and process. The space represented by the long take is the actual space that exists. The natural transformation of the space is realized in the movement of the lens. The second feature is the documentary nature of the long take. Bazin’s “long take” theory believes that long haul could maintain the unity and integrity of film time and film space, express the continuity and integrity of character actions and event development, and reflect reality more truly.
