| Popis: | 97 Birthday, being one of the trilogy The Three Flights of Time Airline which had been consigned by PTS (Public Television Service) as one of Life Story Series, is a short film depicting family love and relationship. It has been granted a production subsidy by the Government Information Office (GIO)—the director’s second time, the first time was to his other short film Summer of Magic. The author began shooting before we got the subsidy from GIO in 2007. The author insisted on using an HD camera to shoot the film for the possibility of its being transferred to 35mm mag film with Dolby SR encoding. The draft of the script was done two years before the shooting. Two public auditions have been launched to find the major cast. The rehearsing for the actors began six months prior to shooting, in order for the main actors to establish a mutual-trust for them to be realistic as family members. In the meantime, the author went through script revision until 4 months before major shoot. It took eight days to shoot, and approximately half a year for post production. The film will premiere on PTS in June 2009, and will try to enter major short film festivals. The synopsis of the film: A girl learns about her parents’ sudden and tragic death on her little sister’s birthday. She conceals the news and celebrates the birthday as has planned. This essay focuses on the psychological process of how grown-ups and children cope with the sorrow and pain over the loss of family members. The film centered on the heroine’s reactions upon hearing the news and her choice of actions in the face of the tragedy. Small details were emphasized to depict the ordinariness of everyday life. This essay also analyzes the aesthetics of the film, and documents the process of film-making. |
