What is a film in your opinion
A film is—or should be—more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings.
—Stanley Kubrick
电影是——或者说应该是——更像音乐而非小说。它应该是一个情绪和情感的逐步发展过程。
——斯坦利·库布里克

Reading
Many different elements go into making a film. The lecture below was given by a film critic at the school Film Festival. Before you read the lecture transcript, think about the following questions:制作一部电影需要许多不同的元素。下面的讲座是由一位影评人在学校电影节上做的。在阅读课堂讲稿之前，请思考以下问题：
What elements of a film can you think of
你能想到一部电影的哪些元素？
Which element do you think is the most important in making a successful film
你认为制作一部成功的电影最重要的因素是什么？
Behind the scenes
Hello, everyone! Let me start by asking you a question:
大家好！让我先问你一个问题：
what's the first thing you notice about a film The acting The music Maybe the amazing sets
你对一部电影的第一个注意是什么？表演？音乐？也许是令人惊叹的布景？
What ever your answer is, there's always a lot more to it than first meets the eye.
不管你的答案是什么，它总是比第一次看到的要多得多。
Actually the film you see on the screen is the product of a huge amount of hard work, most of which takes place behind the scenes.
事实上，你在屏幕上看到的电影是大量艰苦工作的产物，其中大部分都发生在幕后。
Today, I’ll give you a brief introduction to some aspects of film-making you might not be familiar with.
今天，我将为您简要介绍一下您可能不熟悉的电影制作的一些方面。
To begin with, I'd like to draw your attention to an important factor of a film sound effects.
首先，我想提请大家注意电影音效的一个重要因素。
These are often added after a scene has been shot and might not be made in the way you would expect.
这些通常是在场景拍摄后添加的，可能不会按照您期望的方式制作。
For example, in Jurassic Park, the sounds of different animals, including a baby elephant and a tiger, were mixed by a computer to make a dinosaur roar.
例如，在《侏罗纪公园》中，不同动物的声音，包括小象和老虎的声音，被电脑混合在一起，发出恐龙的叫声。
The sound of the doors opening in the Star Trek films was made simply by pulling a sheet of paper out of an envelope.
在《星际迷航》电影中，门打开的声音只是从信封里拿出一张纸发出的。
Another aspect I attach great importance to is visual special effects. CGI has been frequently used in film-making as a special effects technology.
我非常重视的另一个方面是视觉特效。CGI作为一种特效技术经常被用于电影制作。
Generally, scenes requiring CGI are filmed in front of a green screen in the studio.
通常，需要CGI的场景都是在工作室的绿色屏幕前拍摄的。
As green doesn't match any natural hair or skin colour, actors can be easily separated from the background. This enables CGI effects to be added later.
由于绿色与任何自然的头发或皮肤颜色都不匹配，演员很容易与背景分离。这使得以后可以添加CGI效果。
The Quidditch scenes in the Harry Potter films were made in this way with the actors jumping up and down in front of a green screen. However, the aid of computers isn't always preferred. 《哈利波特》系列电影中的魁地奇场景就是这样制作的，演员们在绿色屏幕前上下跳跃。然而，计算机的帮助并不总是首选的。
Peter Jackson, director of The Lord of the Rings films, took a creative approach--he used clever camera angles to make characters seem bigger or smaller than they really were. 《指环王》电影的导演彼得·杰克逊采取了一种创造性的方法——他使用巧妙的镜头角度使角色看起来比实际情况更大或更小。
Props also contribute to a film's success. To make a film look real, great effort must sometimes be made to research, find and build objects.
道具也有助于电影的成功。为了让一部电影看起来真实，有时必须付出巨大的努力来研究、寻找和构建物体。
Director James Cameron spent six months looking at and revising plans of the Titanic in order to build a full-sized model for his 1997 film.
导演詹姆斯·卡梅隆花了六个月的时间研究和修改泰坦尼克号的计划，为他1997年的电影制作了一个全尺寸的模型。
He talked to historians to ensure that the details were correct and even went down to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to see what was left of the ship for himself.
他与历史学家交谈，以确保细节是正确的，甚至下到大西洋海底，看看船上剩下什么。
It took 500 workers 100 days to build the fine model, not to mention the thousands of props inside.
500名工人花了100天的时间制作出了这个精美的模型，更不用说里面成千上万的道具了。
My lecture today may not be able to do justice to all the work people have done behind the scenes.
我今天的演讲可能无法公正地评价人们在幕后所做的所有工作。
Just as the poor passengers on the real Titanic saw the tip of the iceberg, what we see on the cinema screen is just the tip of the huge iceberg of film-making.
正如真正的泰坦尼克号上的可怜乘客看到了冰山一角，我们在电影院屏幕上看到的只是电影制作的巨大冰山一角。
Hopefully, next time you go to the cinema, you'll spare a thought for all those talented people behind the scenes.
希望下次你去电影院的时候，能好好想想那些幕后的天才。
They have worked for months and even years so that you can have two hours of enjoyment!
他们已经工作了几个月甚至几年，所以你可以有两个小时的享受！

电影片花
Based on a true story, the film is set in London in the 1930s. Prince Albert, second son of King George V, suffers from a terrible speech problem.
这部电影根据真实故事改编，故事发生在20世纪30年代的伦敦。国王乔治五世的次子阿尔伯特亲王患有严重的口吃。
The Prince has given up hope of a cure but his wife, Elizabeth, takes him to see Lionel Logue, an Australian speech doctor living in London.
王子已经放弃了治愈的希望，但他的妻子伊丽莎白带他去看住在伦敦的澳大利亚言语医生莱昂内尔·罗格。

The film looks like a fairly typical historical film without fancy special effects, and it is made enjoyable by the performances of the main actors.

Firth is successful in showing us the King's struggles as well as his courage. He has great chemistry with Rush and Bonham Carter, whose characters are both very believable.费斯成功地向我们展示了国王的斗争和勇气。他与拉什和邦汉·卡特有着很好的化学反应，他们的角色都非常可信。
In the meantime, Hooper skilfully creates uncertainty and tension with narrow indoor sets and dark lighting.
