Question to Director Chen

Hi Director Chen,

I am Yan Chi Hong. A Landscape student. Thank you very much for bringing the movie today <Dreamland>.

I am a Hong Kong person, and this is my first time watching a movie in another language instead of Cantonese, Mandarin, or English. It is a fantastic experience.

I really like your film production technique, which uses simple narrative techniques to let us use the third person to glimpse the lives of the male and female protagonists.

And in the composition of the movie shooting, I also greatly appreciate your extraction angles. Most of the time in the movie, there is a kind of immersion in the movie, and you also use many symmetrical compositions. In terms of filming, you also used a lot of fixed lenses, which gives you a feeling of looking at the panoramic view.

Furthermore, in terms of the film’s visuals, many beautiful landscapes add an extra layer of color to the film.

Director Chen, I have some questions for you:

  1. Why would you choose not to add background music to the movie? Is there any deeper meaning behind it?

2. What inspired you to transform from an architect to a director of a movie?

    I have some background music in there but I don’t need a lot to provide emotion.

    Movies can help me think more about things like love and emotions. Architecture still has a function to serve, but films can work directly on feelings.
