Magicians fly around on a broom,

Swordsmen walk in snow without leaving a trace of footprint…

How do these scenes on the screen are shot?

Kaiwen students pay a visit to the shooting venue,

To uncover the secrets of special effect,

Have fun in acting and experience how it feels in shooting “block-busters”.

In the secondary Chinese Language Arts course at Kaiwen Academy, students study on film culture, including both the history of film and television arts and the relationship between films and literature: “Literature and films are two forms of arts after all, with different means of expression, aesthetic characteristics and artistic charm. They will continue to reflect, rather than replace each other.”

On such basis, the Secondary CLA team organized a field trip themed in films. On November 8, 2019, all the 10^th and 11^th grade students showed up at China Movie Park to apply knowledge acquired on textbooks into practice, learn about film technology, experience film making and understand occupational features and qualities in films. In doing so, they developed innovative thinking, refined artistic quality and properly set their career goals towards fulfillment of their life vision.

On their trip to China Movie Park, Kaiwen students combined the field visit and the film culture introduced in textbook and deepened their perception and understanding on film technologies and all the steps of film making.
