What Is Stop Motion Animation: Stop-motion Animation works by shooting subjects one by one and then running them through a sequence to create a living character or any other bizarre character you can imagine. Stop-motion animation is usually performed by clay puppets, puppets, or mixed material characters.
Type of Production: Rectilinear motion, sequential design, circular motion, frames (frame rate), rotational motion, periodic motion
—Shoot at least 24 pictures to create a stop-motion animation, in 30 seconds
—The Idea of Making: Because it was in the classroom, I selected the sticky note available around to make this stop-motion animation. I chose L and T at the beginning of my name as the theme. In this stop-motion animation, I show the appearance and disappearance of the two letters, and I added a little snippet to decorate the video before actually starting to write.
< Beating letters >
—The Improvements I Want To Make: The light needs to be fixed at one value and the overall picture needs to be brighter. The background needs to be the same color that echoes the main object(It’s best to pair with objects) At the same time, you need to fix the Angle of the shot.
—The Category of The Zine: Political zines, craft zines, poetry and short story zines, queer zines

MUSIC — The Times They Are A-Changin by Bob Dylan FILM DIRECTOR — Zack Snyder COUNTRY — USA LANGUAGE — English
Created by Alan Moore, painted by Dave Gibbons and colored by John Higgins, the comics have been acclaimed in both the comic world and the mainstream media as classic works in comics. Watchmen is one of the “100 Best English Novels from 1923 to the present” selected by Time magazine in 2005, and it has also won the Hugo Award, the highest honor in the science fiction and art world, for its comic works.
“Watchmen” was released in 2009. The R-rated film received mixed reviews from the public and polarized media. But no one can deny its artistic opening, which uses a lot of slow motion and brief pauses to create the visual illusion of a time machine going back to history. Its grand historical background, American thinking during the Cold War, and the reshaping of American history, both shown and fabricated, make it one of the most memorable classic film clips of this era.
There’s a lot of shooting going on in this opening sequence. And the techniques used are often matched with long shots, close shots and panoramic shots.
—Shooting Methods
There are five main shooting methods used in the opening sequence.
Push the lens Push the lens is video shot one of the commonly used gimmick of du, cameras and gradually close to the picture, designed the picture frame by is gradually narrowing, scenery gradually enlarge picture, the line of sight of the audience see a from the overall layout, this push lens can guide the audience more appreciative role inner activities, strengthen the emotional climate of the foil.
Pull the lens To pull a camera is to put a camera on a moving car and pull it away from a person or object. As the camera moves away from the subject, the image expands from one part to another, allowing the viewer to move back and see the connection between the part and the whole.
Pan Shaking the lens is a kind of shooting technique in shooting video, which refers to the shooting method of changing the axis of the optical lens of the camera with the help of the movable chassis on the tripod or the cameraman himself as the fulcrum when the camera position is still.
A close-up A close-up is a shot of a person’s face, a part of the human body, or a detail of an object in a movie. It was first created and used by the early American film director Griffith et al. Its appearance and application enrich and enhance the unique expression of film art, which has always been film aesthetics.
Move the shaft The effect of the photo taken by shifting the axis is like a miniature model, which is very special. The function of the axle-shifting lens was originally used to correct the perspective problems caused by the ordinary wide-angle lens, but later it was widely used to create photography works with varying depth of field focal points.
—Cinematography
Cinematography is full of technique, which can not only give people a high sense of style visually, but also bring people into the story through the tone and tension of the photos themselves. In this opening scene, I combined several common and commonly used shooting methods to explain.
– The composition In this opening, the photography mainly uses the method of symmetrical composition. And in the film, the shooting uses a lot of slow motion and deliberate pauses to strengthen the overall storyline and give people time to discover what needs to be discovered in the whole picture. Central composition is one of the most common forms of composition because it is the most conservative and error-prone one. For symmetric composition, whether it is architecture or people, there are many USES of symmetric composition. The advantage of symmetrical composition is that the picture is balanced and stable, while the disadvantage is that the overall picture is a little dull. However, since most of this shooting technique is used in the film to deal with architecture, this shortcoming is also perfectly concealed. – Color Compared with composition, color can more directly express emotions and render emotions. Whether a movie is brilliant, color also accounts for a large proportion, the same is true of photos. In this film, the head is tilted in the old-fashioned way. The whole picture is dark and tends to cool colors. This post-processing makes the story more relevant to the feeling of the time. – Storytelling The film is usually the carrier of the story, and the picture full of “film sense” must be very pictorial and story-like. In short, to make a photograph feel “cinematic” you have to make it tell a story like a movie. And this opening shot makes it very clear that this is about American history.
—The following is a detailed description of the entire opening
BEGIN
“The Times They Are A-Changin” by Bob Dylan in The 1960s. In 1964, Bob Dylan released The album The Times They Are A-Changin. The words anti-war, equal rights, the pursuit of freedom and equality were added to Dylan, and he became the voice of America in the 1960s, the idol of young people rebelling against the establishment. The director chose this song well, because he couldn’t have chosen a better match for the opening sequence.

Living in the environment, our every move affects the environment, and the environment also affects our health.
As human beings, we should regulate our social behaviors by improving our environmental awareness and recognizing the relationship between environment and health.
For example, we need to prevent environmental pollution, in order to maintain ecological balance, to promote the development of environmental ecology to a virtuous cycle. And the establishment of laws and standards to protect the environment can avoid environmental degradation and imbalance, which is an important criterion to correctly handle the relationship between human beings and the environment.
The reason these measures need to be implemented is because our bodies are in good health when the environment is in a healthy range. If one is in an atmosphere of elegant environment, fresh air and harmony, it is believed that one’s physical health, mental health and social health will be good.
On the other hand, when environmental stress is more than our body can handle, poor health will appear. This phenomenon is very common, with the aggravation of environmental pollution, the increase of work and study pressure, the intensification of competition, physical health and mental health crisis everywhere.
In a word, our health is closely related to the environment. What we do to the environment, the environment will reflect on us all the time. Therefore, for the sake of our own health and sustainable development, we should protect the environment.
2019 happens to be the year Blade Runner’s futuristic metropolis is set to exist.
At that time, “2019” was a futuristic feeling wrapped in high-tech, which was quite bizarre. On the other hand, we are familiar with the market life, often sparse. The two realities, side by side in the same dimension, are full of contradictions and confusion.
Now the “future” has finally arrived. In Chongqing (重庆), you can see the most homegrown version of the near future.
Chongqing Jiangbei Airport 重庆江北国际机场
At one time, when we were talking about cyberpunk, we were talking about a pessimistic future. But Chongqing’s cyberpunk is, for the moment, a fresh game.
“Wild gas” building, modern and mysterious. Chongqing is damp and foggy all year round. It is like a secret city in the rain forest, known from a certain era as the “city of fog”.
Near the Yangtze river 长江附近，黄花园
Chongqing’s road is so intricate that it has become a no-go zone for have no sense of direction and the fear of heights.
The buildings are uneven in height and strange in shape, with various Bridges across the floors… The streets rise above the floors, and there will be tall buildings on the high roads. Chongqing has greatly reduced the scale of “tall”. Take the elevator to the 22nd floor, and you’ll even find a car speeding out the window.
Moreover, don’t trust the road ahead, no matter how difficult it may be to rely on navigation. Next thing you will know the thins is , the path could go into the ground, it could go straight into the air, it could take a big, sharp turn, it’s a pretty wild road but the simple usual one to the native of Chongqing.
Ordinary buildings in Chongqing 重庆楼房，江北
Leave the road and return to the pedestrian walkway for a turn back that has never been to the past. There are so many steps that one or two hundred are common. Climbing up the ladder is like carrying on a traditional and pious pilgrimage.
And you will see the light rail habitually is actually run in the sky, through tall buildings, and housing friction. Just like the light rail line 2, in Plum dam station straight bucket to the house.
In order to cross the river and the mountains, Chongqing people can also take the cableway, which is the exclusive right of the Cyberpunk people.
The light rail line 2, in Plum dam 轻轨二号线，李子坝站
When night falls and Chongqing lights up, it’s the start of cyberpunk. Light and colour temporarily cancel people’s inability to daydream about existentialism, and timely pleasure is the right way.
This sunshine is not much of the city, but developed a preference for cold light lamps. Coupled with the glass, which is mostly blue, Chongqing at night reflects the cold and depressed nature of science and technology, just like a dream science fiction city. But with just a little warmth, brilliance and dreams can be set alight.
Hongyadong stilted house complex of glinting red light, resemble an extremely happy place, hearsay it inspired “Spirited away” the setting design of big bath place, play inside and outside a reference, fantasy colour is more intense.
Hongyadong stilted house complex 洪崖洞，解放碑
In the development of Chongqing, some original old buildings have been preserved. The “wild” of Chongqing architecture makes modern and “poor” coexist.
Streets of Jiangbei 重庆街道，江北
The traffic teahouse is one of them. The teahouse, still as it was in the 1970s and 1980s, is filled with unrelated but closely connected people.
Here, it is Chongqing civilian life breath most strong place, also be the important component of cyberpunk temperament. This also hits right at the heart of cyberpunk’s aesthetic, “High tech, low Life.”
The traffic teahouse 交通茶馆，黄桷平
Of the four major Cyberpunk capitals in Asia, Chongqing is the most acceptable place for us. Shanghai is too urbanized, Hong Kong’s Kowloon Walled city is almost gone, and Tokyo is too far away. Chongqing is just right enough, tear and healing to form a steady state.
Maybe one day, the stuff of science fiction will be the reality that surrounds us all.That day will come closer and closer, just as it is now well past “2019.”
