時空交錯中的浪漫美學: KPop "那個女人" 的 MV 製作

前言:

我沒有太多製作歌曲 MV 的經驗。可是,這首 OST 歌曲, My Woman (My Man), 實在是曲詞唱都絕佳。可說是我的摯愛。所以,我嘗試運用 Contemporary Music 的作曲理論,加上 Proust 對時空,即 Time 和 stream of consciousness 的理論,Karol Berger 所提出關於貝多芬音樂中反影 Aesthetic States 的變化作用的概念,歌曲分析學中的 Text Painting,和德國文學家和音樂家在十九世紀文學運動中所提出的浪漫主義特質 — Distancing (遙遠) ,來製作以下MV 短片。在一方面,讓我可以熟悉製片軟件的各種特效和操作,另一方面,我也可以提升歌曲原本想表達的意義,增加其藝術價值。

值得一提,多數在 Youtube 上的 MV 業餘製作,都是以影片為主幹,往往忽略了音樂自身意義的特質,與樂音與影片中流露的 reference meaning 之間的相互關係。我這個 MV 嘗試,希望是可以拋磚引玉,打開多一種欣賞 MV 的角度。

因技術和經驗所限,有些地方還未完善,務請見諒。

正文: 
首先,請聽眾先欣賞歌曲 “那個女人/那個男人 ……..

     含有對白的MV (較多合唱 Layers)



由於有影像提供了text,所以,聽眾欣賞時也會看影像和歌詞字幕去了解個 MV 的意義。
歌詞是我跟據韓文 CD內的中文譯文翻上翻的。

以下是製作音樂和影片的設計和 underlying idea and concepts。

但為了妨止阻礙聽眾發揮聯想空間,並作自由解讀,所以我只簡略說出整個 MV 的基本設計和要點。

1.  Music:
 
The Male and Female voices belong to different sound tracks. They do not sing in duet, instead, they sing in solo with different keys, but similar tempo.

Each individual song is rearranged in the form of collage, superimposing as a pseudo-duet bitonally. The two Chorus Sections become a duet-like passages, creating a climax to the moment.

This implies a meaning that: Two lovers are distanced, and cannot go on hand by hand.

Music often articulates the meaning of each stanza, and even provides text-painting to some particular words, or word phrases. For example, the lyric in the Chorus section ” 就在內心中….” is highlighted by the eyesight of the male protagonist over the just found key (symbol of the love). Another lyric phrase ” 那個男人依然在妳身旁” is paralleled with an imagined scene of “The Man” who shows his deep concern with his beloved under the falling rain.

The nature of the music is story-telling, notified by the opening and closing scenes in which the young boy singer performs live in the garden. He is the character that sings the story of this unattainable love (19th Century German Romantic sentiment) between “The Man” and “The Woman”, who are also the audience in that particular moment.

2. Video:

Timeline narration is designed in the linear way. Readers/listeners should be aware of each event moving in different temporal-spatial states, albeit without a logical trajectory.

Temporal-Spatial spaces crisscross the states of the present (reality), the past, and the future (mental imagination or dream).

The Present State: Indicated by without using any additional effect in the scene.
The Past State: Uses of black-and-white screen or faded yellow screen background.
The Future State (imagined dream): Uses of soften effect, overblown light or cloudy effects to make the images vague and soft. The overall effect creates a distance between images and viewers, romanticizing the imges and the scene to a certain extent.

Additional FX effects are added to emphasize the particular moment when there is a sudden shift of the temporal-spatial spaces over the stream of consciousness of the protagonists’s minds.

Montage (small window) is frequently employed in the climatic moments, adding extra-reference meanings to the scenes, for example, a “Kissing” polyphony (counterpoint) is used in the final climatic scene. The small frame of the scene shows the kissing of the lovers a second prior to the large frame of the scene in an imagined dream.

Montage is also a technique to create a stream of consciousness of “The Man ” and “The Woman”, showing their mental journeys vascillating between the past memory and the future imagined dream.

3. Story-line:
 
A new story is created throughout the MV. Each event has certain linking to the next following event.

Readers/Listeners can create their own understanding of the story through referencing to the time line events.

我想我的討論就到此為止。不然的話,太多的解釋反而窒息了聽者的感受空間,解讀故事的多異性也減 弱了。

比說聲 "我愛你" 更有價值的是: "對不起"-final edited Video

前言:

前言: 在華人的愛情文化裡,很多時候,能夠真摯衷誠地向對方說一聲 “對不起”,是勝過說一萬句 “我愛你”。

以下的影片,就能道明一切。

值得欣賞的是,歌聲中的歌詞所表達的歉意心聲,與告示牌所寫的悔意表白互相觸動,互相牽引著對方的心靈。

原文: 
以下的是根據韓文的翻譯意思,再重新翻上翻的歌詞,希望更詩意一些。
例如,既然原文的英文歌名是 Tear Stains,就不是星座,雖然歌曲中有提及星座 (Constellation)。這不夠詩意。
再者,Stains 是那些抹不去的痕跡,所以我就索性翻為: 眼淚星痕
…………… 
因 upload 檔案的問題,技術所限,所以影像不理想,希望日後能夠改善。而且,影片也重新翦輯,部份歌詞也重新翻譯。重要的對白也加上了,使主題意義也更清晰。
我的 youtube link of this video:http://youtu.be/i3u_IrynDtY
 (請試試,影像應該比較清楚)
………….. 
在我們的文化裡,能夠坦率地表達情感已是不常有。更可悲的是,假如事情牽涉到面子,更不會輕易妥協。這就是我們的所謂傳統。 熱戀中的朋友也沒有例外, 帶來的結果只會令雙方造成更多傷害。
尹瑟送給崔祐英的三個告示表白也很浪漫,可堪回味: 
1.  剛才 Sun 告訴我,這是寫給我的歌 (眼淚星座),我有這個資格嗎?
2.  我因為自己受了傷,也曾令你受了很多傷害。真的………. 對不起……..
3.  其實,愛吃栗子的是我,沒有錯。但芝士蛋糕的是另外的女人。可是….. 我還是愛你,崔祐英!…….
其實,歌者所唱的不單是為台下的愛人代唱出她的心聲,也是他自我表白的悔過心意。因為他也做曾做過很多傷害對方的事。戲中雙方通過眼神的交流,牽起了自己無盡的感情思念。
這使我想起林夕那首得獎歌 “曾經” 裡其中的歌詞: 
着意灑脫地胡混,誰料跌了卻又要翻身。
望滿身傷痕,才明白到即使嬉笑一身,也常被困。”
歌者就曾是這樣的故作浪漫地渡過了七年。也自己和令她受傷了七年
我看還是好好欣賞這首歌吧。
翻出來的歌詞也很美。既有情境,也有意境。淚珠兒裝在星星裡的詩意,我也曾寫過。很美吧!
對於過去未成熟去處理感情問題的悔意,其張力就在於倘若能再有一次機會,就會好好珍惜對方。
可是,逝去的時光可以追回來嗎? 機會還會再來嗎?
樹欲靜而風不息就是這個道理。年輕時為何總體會不到?

一定得_梁XX.mov

梁 Sir 多年前應邀演出一個閒角。坦白說,劇本就唔掂。但 D 評論就話,果個 Headmaster 可以拿最佳男配角,你話係唔係呢?

註: 開頭廿幾秒還沒有翦輯,請耐心等候。而且,雖然承諾了導演朋友,還未有時間配上原創音樂,時間飛逝,怕也有十年了。
