IV. My Reaction
A. Reaction Point - special effect(特殊効果)
- Any computer generated or special effects in the film. e.g. fades, wipes and superimposition
- For example, when a date is changed in this film, the special effect that becomes black gradually is used in this film.
- I was easy to understand the changes of time by special effects.
B. Reaction Point - soundtrack(音声、効果音)
- Voice, music and sound effects which are used in a film
- For example, when the boy who is hero encounters the girl who is deaf, the song with a bright atmosphere is used in this film.
- I think that soundtracks are very important things. If the song with a sad atmosphere was used in happy scenes, they will be confused.
C. Reaction Point - cinematography(カメラワーク)
- the camerawork in a film
- For example, when the boy speak, he took by camera from the viewpoints of the girl
- I was easy to understand who is speaking.
