今天内容,在思路上和之前一样,只不过将步骤简化,帮助我们在阅读一个文本时,可以更加快速地提取主题,导出观点。
1. 细节重要,但不是所有细节都同等重要;如何抓住一个文本故事的核心内容?
2. 同样思路的简化版,以一段MV为例。
而他们之所以能够这样,是因为长年的经验累积,使得他们逐渐形成一种近似本能的自然反应。
即:
当一个事情来,他们知道不是所有点都要看,他们不会把自己的注意力均衡地给到每一处;而是懂得,有一些大块的点值得他们格外留意,要在这些点上做更多的停驻,观察,分析。
Characters and Character Traits — 人物以及人物性格
Motivations — 人物的动机(希望得到什么?或者,希望不得到什么?行为背后的原因)
Problems, Challenges, Obstacles — 人物遇到的困难与挑战
Responses + Changes — 在经历这些困难挑战时,人物做出了怎样回应?发生了怎样变化?(比如通过这段经历学会了什么?懂得了什么?)
从最开始,到第1分08秒。
薄裙,抱住自己:冷,抖,想要温暖 — Cold, Freezing, Shivering, Perhaps wanting warmth and comfort.
Writer's Choice...或许作者有在告诉我们一些隐藏信息:Hurt, Pain, Danger, Ouch; Broken, Destroyed, Lifeless, and Dead...和之前已经分析过的画面相对应,类似意境在重复。
危险,不安全,有灾难 — Danger, Insecurity, Disaster.
Problems and Responses. 遇到怎样问题?人物如何回应?
要记得,要记得:Writers have choices. They could have..., but instead, ...
他们本来可以那样那样选,但是他们却这样这样做。
......
想想唱摇篮曲时的那个画面:有人在身边,有陪伴,有温暖,有安慰,有温馨,满溢着爱地,踏实地,心安地在睡着 — Accompany, Warmth, Comfort, Coziness, Love, and Security.
规律,主题,是不是一点点地,越来越明显?
听到了Come morning light,听到了You and I'll be safe and sound.
在有着这样的对比时,告诉说:Close your eyes. You'll be alright. 一切都会好起来。
此时又在唱:Come morning light. You and I'll be safe and sound.
即使在这样的情况下:
但即使在这样的情况下,即使这样,也一直在唱:You and I'll be safe and sound...
安然无恙,安然无恙,你和我都会安然无恙。
最后画面的定格:
There is never just one theme, one right answer to what a story is really about.
The best stories are like life — complicated and rich with meaning.
