I started looking for answers for the shooting methods and topics.

I doubt the word film from my mid-term research, and I also firmly believe that solving this problem will significantly help my work.

This is a general distinction between online videos and movies, but...

Media Artefact

To separate and integrate from it, I think it is necessary to define what film is. As a medium, it is one of the mediums of painting, music, drama, and novel. It is a form of storytelling. Interestingly, among the artefact described above. Music appears on the Internet, and it is not described as Internet music. Although fiction is described as Internet fiction, it does not define its quality; The problem of being "on the Internet" is called digital or online painting, so why does video also serve as a medium, but why does it make a distinction?

The movie has evolved from the word "moving image". In today's Juduo's works, works shot by video materials that movies can use as shooting tools can be defined as moving images, whether video or animation production.

If there is a need to distinguish between online videos and movies, and in my opinion, it is not necessary. On the contrary, today's multi-network culture creates diversity and nationality for the film, and small investment films can also get a massive response. Ten years is a good example.

Diversity

I just talked about the diversity of the network and the inclusion of various voices above, and I would like to define it as "decentralisation".

Between the television industry, whether film or TV production. They are exercising the distribution and dissemination rights of film and television. It isn't straightforward because the people and things involved are checked in the traditional industry and deport people.(Feigenbaum, 2007) Online platforms emerge creators themselves to bypass many difficulties, shoot and express the items and things they want to speak about, and remove the things the gatekeepers decided to receive in traditional industries.

However, the emergence of online platforms has allowed many experiments. There are a lot of film clips and ideas that first enter the public's eye through the Internet before into the film, which combines literature, philosophy, technology, and music. In the evolution of images and human beings, online videos and movies have been helping each other in recent years. Even though there are specific differences between everyone, the boundaries in the middle are already very blurred.

Storytelling

A film is a way of expressing a story, and human beings have needed to listen to stories since ancient times(Polletta et al., 2011). People always need a lot of stories to support something. Like using films to express a spirit, a concept or a small entertainment, It is often possible to find traces of human growth in this art of light and shadow. Maybe the film's description is too sacred here, but back to the basics, the film is one of the artefacts, and the most beautiful thing, in the end, must be the story.

There have been many attempts in the film in the past ten years. 3D movies, multiple-choice questions, abstract films, and even hero-themed films have been attempted in recent years. Who would have thought that the story of Marvel would take ten years to tell everyone?

There are many storytelling techniques, but in my opinion, if the story is true, it can touch people's hearts. Suppose you can grasp the reality or situation of some human beings. For instance, in "Saving Private Ryan", the scene of landing in Normandy has become more of a classic(Binns & Ryder, 2014). In addition to the appropriate shooting techniques, its historical background and the level of authenticity presented by the picture, I believe that the audience who came to appreciate it felt the horror at that time. Let me give one more example, "Inception". However, Inception is a set of stunt movies. It shows many aspects of human nature, such as the description of dreams. The plot uses drives to explain the secrets of people's hearts. People's pursuit of truth, etc., and thus become an unforgettable story.

Of course, this is not to say that the film will be successful if it simply tells the story in life's direction. The information in the film work is also essential. We often talk about using the word to speak, and to a certain extent, it also means using the position to communicate with the audience. All of the above is what the used story hopes to bring out.

Summary

This part will be a small summary summarizing the conclusions of my thinking from the above to the present, which will lead to the creation of later works. In the past, everyone wanted to create popular films, and that the filming must be successful in foreign countries, and only in Hollywood in foreign countries to be successful. I explained that the film is an attempt and representative work of different eras above this paragraph. Times have changed. The movie should not simply discuss how far they can go but should consider the content or connotation of the works. I firmly believe that as long as the results are excellent, even if the language in the clips is different, you can still go far. It's like the Squid game and 3%.

Director Heiward Mak(【哲學係咁傾】ep.2 網絡時代裏的電影｜嘉賓：游學修 麥曦茵, 2022) described in the film mentioned above, "In recent years, all the new directors' films shortlisted for international film festivals are also very local in their materials. The director only shoots their growth and looks at his surroundings from the perspective of his country or region. More local, the more able to rush out of the world because we all want to know what happened in that place."

Her remarks seemed to boost my thinking, making me more sure that I decided to make a film about my place.
