吳星螢 / 女神 DVD

各位博客來的朋友們好：

我是女神的導演吳星螢，

「女神」是台灣第一部能在商業通路全面販售的學生電影，對於獨立電影的發行來說是新的里程碑。在此先小小分享發行這部小小電影發行的中英文理念，希望更多朋友們能多多支持。而博客來通路有著寄送海外的服務系統，非常方便，因此喜歡「女神」的海外朋友們，即日起歡迎加利用博客來購買女神喔。

這張DVD所蒐錄的作品「女神」、「風和日麗」是大學時代的創作練習，「女神」使用了十六厘米(16mm)的底片(Film)並全程於台灣花蓮拍攝，對一個學生製作規模的影片來說，不論技術執行亦或資金籌募，難度都相當高，雖然這是一部半生不熟的電影，但您可從中感受每一個畫面裡學生在蹲馬步練功\夫的過程，從演員到技術呈現，不單是電影系的學生亦結合了跨校跨科系的人才，「女神」提供了一個平台，讓各校的電影生力軍都能為明日的準國片預做練習和準備。

This DVD includes two of my college projects, namely Aphrodite and A Good Day. Aphrodite is produced with 16mm film solely on location of Hualien, eastern Taiwan. For a student-scale film, the strugglinng concerns are not only about technical problems but also limited budgets. Although this film is imperfect, you can still have a taste of each frame that reveals student’s hard work. From the actors/actress to final presentation, this production has an interesting combination of film majors and talents from various departments. As a result, Aphrodite provides a platform for all new force from different schools to practice and get ready for future Taiwanese films beforehand.

而「女神」另一個特別之處是在影片之外的部落格(Blog)行銷，也是台灣學生影片靠部落格行銷的首例，長達八個月的部落格書寫(http://blog.roodo.com/kilasme)，以「電影教育」和「電影製作分享」主題成功\經營群眾，並將我們對電影創作裡「過程重於結果、虛心的學習與合作」的體會傳達給眾多朋友，因此當您觀賞本片後，亦能參考部落格上的文章以及DVD另一部成本幾千元，執行時間僅一個月的課堂DV習作「風和日麗」，這樣能感受學生們在不同媒材、不同製作規模與時空下的學習成果。

The other specialty of Aphrodite is blog marketing, the first online promotion case in the fields of Taiwanese student films. We have successfully posted up our blog, for nearly 8 months, to entertain our audiences with topics of “movie education” and “filmmaking sharing”. Meanwhile, we want to deliver the realization in our production to many a friend that “Process is more important than outcome” and “Be humble to learn and cooperate.” Hence, after watching Aphrodite, you can also refer to the articles in the blog and the other film in this DVD, A Good Day. It is an in-class DV project which costs couples of NT grand dollars within only one month time to implement. That way, you can have a better understanding of the performances with different medium, scales of production, and space and time.

近年來，華語電影市場大起，台灣對於「學生電影」的資源挹注卻極少，龐大的學習經費、拍攝雜費依舊由學生與其父母們支付大半，學生創作者為明日台灣電影根基，沒有豐饒的電影人才教育資源，就沒有堅實的國片創作基礎，傳承的危機將會不斷出現，台灣不缺新銳導演，但缺電影各部門技術新銳(從製片、編劇、美術、攝影、燈光、剪接、造型、特效、音樂到行銷)，唯有從「學生電影」就開始重視各部門人才的美學養成和專業訓練，各界投入更多的關注和實質的資源，台灣將來才有源源不絕的「電影人」為自己的土地、題材和精神說話。

Recently, the Chinese movie market has risen dramatically. However, student films in Taiwan are hampered by lack of grants and resources. Half of a huge amount of money for studies and shooting is still paid off by students and their parents. As a matter of fact, students are foundations to future Taiwanese film industry. Where there is no abundant educational resources, there is no a solid base for Taiwanese filmmaking. The crisis of passing on the legacy will frequently occur. Taiwan is not short of innovative directors but all kinds of intelligent technical crews (from producers, screenwriters, artists, photographers, lightings, editors, costume designers, stunt performers, and musicians to marketing). Only to place importance on aesthetics developing and professional training in all aspects from the beginning of student films, with closely attention and substantial wealth paid by all walks of life, will more unfailing Taiwanese filmmakers speak for our motherland, subject matter, and spirits

僅以此生澀的作品「拋磚引玉」，呈現我們成長的台灣場景和美好的電影世界，邀請大家一起切磋和討論，亦藉此深深感謝每位協助電影完成的朋友和工作人員、家人的支持，沒有你們，就沒有台灣電影。讓我們「教學相長」，繼續在耕耘台灣文化的道路上團結。

I hereby acknowledge that this immature production is served as starter to disclose environment in Taiwan which we grew up with and a promising film industry; furthermore, to invite everyone to exchange their ideas and encourage discussions altogether. In addition, I deeply thank each of the friends whoever helped to finish this film as well as mental backups from the crew and family. Without you guys, there is no possibly way out for Taiwanese films. Teaching and learning promote and enhance each other, let us unite to keep on cultivating in the path to Taiwanese cultures.
