Northern Ireland - Photography work I

This is a small village in the Scotland. The marriage law is different in the England and Scotland long time ago. Scotland permit young people marry when they are 16 year old, but they need to wait for 20 in England. So many young people leave hometown because of love,they come to Scotland to marry. This village is the first village of Scotland,  so a large number of young people married here.

 These two hands means we should believe love.

 There are many statues in the village. Some of them are young man, the others are animals and farm tools. People live together because of love, but love is not the only one in the life, they also need to face other trouble in the future.

 A beautiful girl. She looks at her lover and smile so charming.


 Colorful cloudy. I shoot it many times.

Detail Analysis - some details in the film

To create details in the film is a method to present character's emotion in the film.

Why we need details?

People usually experienced this: we have watched a lot of movies. Maybe we can not remember the leading character's name today. We forget film's name, even the story. However, we still can remember some details of this film!

A scaring scene, a kissing picture, or a man cried alone...People always have memory of details.

So director should utilize details to influence audiences, create characters and character's emotion.

Detail in the film can classify to the following types:

   1. scene detail
   2. sound detail
   3. image detail
   4. color detail
   5. plot detail

An scene detail example with "The shining":
