2018センター試験第3B問 問題文和訳（英和交互）＆解答解説

Let’s get started. We are supposed to create a film for a group project in our film-making class.

As the group leader, I think the sooner we start, the better our movie will be.

Does anyone have any ideas for our movie?

I do. I think many people watch movies to feel happier, so why don’t we make something that can make people feel good?

Last year, one group of students in this class made a documentary about our university basketball team.

They filmed interviews with players and their training many times over a period of three months.

For the audience, watching the documentary was a way of experiencing the hard work of the players, the friendships among the teammates from different backgrounds, the trust between the players and their coach, and finally the joy of their victory in the national tournament.

Their amazing story of triumph appealed to a wide audience and everyone involved in the film received lots of praise.

I would like to create a similar movie documenting people working hard and achieving their goals.

So, are you saying that （30）?

① audiences enjoy watching stories of people achieving success

② audiences want to watch interviews of hardworking athletes

③ documentary films can make audiences happy very easily

④ it is important for us to spend a long time making our movie

Yes, that’s right.

Filming star players or people who are successful sounds interesting, but it may be difficult for ordinary people to identify themselves with the people in these extraordinary stories.

I think people feel more satisfied when they watch movies that they can connect with.

That’s the reason people like love stories.

People like to imagine: “How would I get her attention?"; “How would I ask him out on a date?"; or “Where would we go on our first date?"

I agree. People want to watch something on the screen that they can imagine themselves doing because it’s familiar to them.

And we can add a little suspense or excitement by asking the audience a “what if" question in an everyday setting.

For example, what if we found a treasure map somewhere on campus?

This could be the beginning of a nice, fun story, and it could make an exciting movie.

Kim and Mary, both of you think we should make a movie that （31）.

① asks the audience many extraordinary questions

② focuses on successful people doing amazing things

③ has situations that the average person can relate to

④ uses the campus setting to create fun and suspense

Exactly.

But as a creative work, it should reflect the creator’s unique vision, namely, an original way of looking at the world.

A great movie usually reflects its director’s creative vision in the story or in the way it is told.

Remember, the audience wants to watch something novel, too.

So, I think we need to think about what our original perspective could be.

Right. If we show something ordinary in an ordinary way, people might not be interested.

For example, we are just college students.

Some of us are dependent on our parents for support, whereas others are living by themselves for the first time.

Some of us come from small towns, and others from big cities.

Some of us may feel uneasy about our careers.

All of these things sound very ordinary and not really special.

So, is it possible to show our world in a unique way that will appeal to the audience?

I think so. These things are not special separately, but the combination of all those things together can make our work unique.

I think that’s what people would like to see: a movie that they can associate with but that is told from a unique perspective.

Well, we have some different ideas about our film, but it sounds like everyone is saying that （32） is important when making our film.

① documenting people’s real lives

② making the content highly original

③ showing our different backgrounds

④ thinking of audiences preferences

OK. Let’s discuss this in more depth.
