Another new movie was added during the National Day holiday! Produced by Bayi Film Studio and released by China Film Co., Ltd., a large-scale documentary film "2019 Military Parade Ceremony" focusing on the National Day military parade for the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China is scheduled to be released in theaters nationwide on October 1.
The film is directed by Yang Hu, Zhao Xiaoding serves as the technical director of photography, and Yang Dongliang serves as the chief photography. The theater release adopts a public welfare screening, that is, the film company and the publisher do not participate in the sharing of the accounts, allowing more viewers to relive the grand occasion of the 2019 military parade ceremony on the big screen.
Zhao Xiaoding, the photography technical director of the film, told reporters, "There are as many as 61 photographers in this documentary , of which 26 belong to the China Film and Television Photographers Society, 8 surrounding airports were photographed in the air, 13 times were shot in the air, and 11 types of aircraft were shot in the air." Zhao Xiaoding has been working with director Zhang Yimou for many years. He is the royal photographer directed by Zhang Yimou. He has filmed nearly ten Zhang Yimou movies including "Heroes" and "The Great Wall".
What is the difference for viewers who have watched the military parade TV broadcast, watching this documentary on the big screen in the cinema? Zhao Xiaoding said that this "2019 Military Parade" uses advanced equipment for filming movies, and the resolution of the image can reach 6K, or even 8K, which is incomparable to TV pictures. The pictures taken with this high-performance device are conducive to post-color adjustment and processing. For example, the weather on the day of the military parade last year was half sunny and half cloudy, which can be clearly seen in the TV screen, but after the documentary was post-processed, the picture has been greatly improved. It seems that the sky is clear and the visual experience has been greatly improved.
In addition, the shooting angle and beauty of the picture are also different. The film shows the soldiers' mighty posture on the parade from various angles. Especially when the plane formation flies by, there is a picture taken from top to bottom, which is not only very stable, but also has a very visual impact. These shots are not available in the TV broadcast. Zhao Xiaoding also stood by the national flagpole in front of Tiananmen Gate and took a photo with his hands. The view at this position is large in view and good angle, and the shot is very impactful.
This film was completed by Bayi Film Studio. Not only did it use all the strength in the factory, but it also invited foreign cinematographers such as Zhao Xiaoding to cooperate. It can be said that this time, there is a big cooperation in the photographer industry. Unlike live TV photographers, the photographers of this film can also exert their subjective initiative while ensuring that they complete the prescribed shooting and capture the pictures they think are the most beautiful and impactful. "It can be said that the cameraman of every machine uses the thinking of a film director, which ensures the richness and diversity of the picture," said Zhao Xiaoding.
