● Putin’s look on the purple carpet
A purple carpet is specified by entrance of a quickly put in construction at Kim Il-sung Sq. in Pyongyang. Within the sq. and above and beneath the buildings, tens of 1000’s of Pyongyang folks and troopers, together with kindergarten college students, are ready for the occasion to start. The individuals are watching Chairman Kim Jong-un and his senior workers enter the purple curtain. It seems to be just like the present is about to start out.
After some time, the troopers open the purple curtain and Chairman Kim and his group come out once more. The cellular phone of Hyon Tune-wol, deputy director of the Propaganda and Agitation Division of the Employees’ Occasion of Korea, who oversees Kim Jong-un’s political occasions, rings. It was most likely a name saying Putin was arriving on the occasion. When the digicam focuses on the massive clock hanging on the constructing in entrance of the sq., the sound of 12 o’clock is heard. The sound made by the drone because it rises into the air may also be heard by the microphone of the printed digicam. It sounds just like the sound of ‘prepared motion’ on a film set.
Two folks carrying cameras rush in from the left aspect of the display. North Korea’s ‘No. 1 reporters’ who have been taking photos of Chairman Kim Jong-un assist the 2 folks carrying the digicam to sit down. Photographers who {photograph} North Korea’s supreme chief are helping photographers who accompany Putin in Russia.
Since photojournalists should arrive on the scene earlier than the supreme chief, they typically run round in a rush. Their look implies that the supreme chief can even enter the scene.
The cavalry is lined up, and in entrance of it, the army honor guard is lined up, and Putin’s automobile enters the passageway and stops. Putin and Kim Jong-un shake arms, and photographers from each nations begin taking photos of the scene.
●Taking pictures website the night time earlier than
The assembly between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean Nationwide Protection Chairman Kim Jong-un, who visited Pyongyang for the primary time in 24 years, was an occasion that attracted world consideration. Though it was a warmth wave in Seoul with daytime temperatures approaching 36 levels, a large-scale crowd occasion was held in Pyongyang. I watched the official welcoming ceremony for Russian President Putin a number of occasions on YouTube.
The size was too giant to be thought of a political occasion, so it felt like a blockbuster film. For the male protagonist, Putin, an enormous set was in-built Pyongyang, a state of affairs was drawn up, and other people have been mobilized.
Nonetheless, the night time earlier than, the male lead arrived late on the filming website. From the director’s standpoint, he feels upset and sorry for the workers and extras who have been ready, however that does not imply he cannot begrudge the costly protagonist. The remainder of the folks haven’t any alternative however to maneuver round and end filming in keeping with Namjoo’s schedule.
Putin, who arrived in Pyongyang solely after 2 a.m. on the nineteenth, a lot later than anticipated to reach on the night of the 18th, made a one-day go to quite than a two-day go to. Did North Korea anticipate that Putin, a latecomer on the worldwide diplomatic stage, can be late once more this time? North Korea made all preparations to seize as a lot footage as potential throughout Putin’s brief keep. It appears pure for a director to forged a top-class actor.
First, within the early morning of the nineteenth, all different workers and advisors have been despatched house, however the filming workforce waited for Putin with Chairman Kim on the airport. Wanting on the photographs obtained by international media, along with Chairman Kim and Vice Minister Hyon Tune-wol ready for Putin, a number of photographers may be seen ready on the ladder for filming.
Second, we ready a drone and a filming robotic. Drones are broadly used filming tools lately, however utilizing a filming robotic at a political occasion was uncommon. A dwell broadcast confirmed troopers transferring backwards and forwards whereas filming, and it’s potential that this robotic was ready to movie Putin’s evaluation. It seems to be an try to create a spectacular display quite than an atypical angle.
Third, I ready a GoPro. GoPro is a small, waterproof and shock-resistant digicam that’s typically utilized in leisure broadcasts lately. The GoPro was put in on the passenger seat of the Russian-made limousine Aus and recorded the second when Putin and Kim Jong-un appeared pleasant whereas driving one after one other.
GoPro was additionally put in on the digicam of North Korea’s ‘No. 1 photojournalist’. Usually, photographers solely take nonetheless photographs. It’s a methodology of dividing 1 second into 1/250 of a second and taking photos. Steady screens are ready individually by digicam reporters for ENG broadcasting. Nonetheless, at this welcoming ceremony, North Korea’s first photographers fastened a GoPro on their lenses and took nonetheless photographs and movies on the similar time. It additionally seems to have been the overall director’s thought to extract the utmost quantity of content material from a brief filming time.
Fourth, the workers’s smartphones have been additionally used. The second Putin, the tardy chief, landed on the airport and arrived at his lodging, Geumsusan Guesthouse, Hyeon Tune-wol took out her smartphone and began filming. You possibly can see that Putin’s each transfer was an essential scene.
●Hidden contributors on the filming website
I wonder if the occasions and propaganda workers in Pyongyang, who should have been anxious resulting from their schedules yesterday, have been capable of movie sufficient footage.
There isn’t any different nation on this planet the place this type of display configuration is feasible. Adults carrying hanbok and holding flower stamens in a warmth wave, faculty college students in informal garments, and youngsters in shorts and brief sleeves are the supporting characters who shine on the display. Their strains are restricted to ‘North Korea-Russia friendship, Putin welcome.’
The schedule proven when the leaders of North Korea and Russia meet is an especially regular and acquainted sight. It’s no exaggeration to say that the massive nationwide flags put in behind the rostrum at particular person summits, expanded summits, joint press conferences, and press conferences are actually absolutely consistent with worldwide requirements.
Nonetheless, it’s nonetheless unfamiliar to dwell in a society the place a spectacular image may be produced by mobilizing so many individuals for one predominant character and by a director who has absolute energy. I’m wondering how lengthy a society through which patriotism can change look charges will proceed.
