Abstract

This study conducts a comprehensive comparative analysis of the cinematic techniques of two iconic Chinese commercial films: "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" directed by Ang Lee, and "Let the Bullets Fly," directed by Jiang Wen. This study aims to fill key knowledge gaps by exploring the artistic and commercial elements of these films, emphasizing the application and impact of cinematic techniques. This study adopts a qualitative research design using comparative research and textual analysis. Using the Mise-en-scène concept as a theoretical framework, the literature review provides insights into existing research on cinematic techniques, making up for the lack of research on specific applications of technology in Chinese commercial films. The thesis helps to understand how their cinematic techniques shape the narrative structure and visual aesthetics of their respective films. The study identifies these two films' similarities and differences in cinematic techniques and the influence of these film techniques on modern Chinese films. providing valuable insights to filmmakers, academics, and industry practitioners.
