影片作品《B棟8樓》創作論述
A Critique Essay on the Film Work B8
摘要
摘要 2003年SARS侵台，台北市和平醫院拉下鐵門封院，院內醫護人員、病患及家屬向外呼喊，一張張新聞照片透過媒體直擊人心。對於身為新聞工作者及影像創作者一份子的筆者而言，親睹一個錯誤政策，導致一家醫院拉下鐵門，一群醫療人員及病患、家屬無預警遭隔離，沒有說不的權利，震撼內心。十年過去，台灣民眾及媒體或已淡忘當年疫情造成的全民恐慌，筆者不禁從製片人角度產生疑問，台灣為何無人拍攝此類議題之劇情片？影片《B棟8樓》之創作於焉而生。 《B棟8樓》企圖探討及表達「人性」主題，身處不安及未知恐懼之中，人類顯示出尋求自保的心理本能，在利益與良心之間，何以遮蓋人性說出違心之論，做出犧牲少數、保全大局的切割考量下，必然面對內心的糾葛掙扎。本片歷經長時間田野調查，透過大量蒐集該事件媒體報導、學術文獻考據及當事人深度訪談，編寫成九十分鐘長度影片劇本。以電視電影規格、劇情片形式攝製、輔以電腦動畫呈現病毒散布模式，試圖以觀眾易於接受的方法，從不同角度探討人性深沉面，並向當年身處第一線的醫護人員致敬。 筆者身為本片製片人，要求創作攝製以「真實」為劇情推展基礎，透過故事舖陳凸顯當年因錯誤決策及人為疏失，造成事件擴及病患、第一線醫護喪失寶貴生命等情事。於本片實際執行攝製之外，輔以本創作論述，從影像工作者的社會責任、作品創作面及市場面進行探討，並分析相關題材作品操作方式。本創作論述亦翔實記載自前製期至作品完成的執行過程，說明各環節所遇狀況及身為製片人面臨決策時之思維、事後檢視，作為日後相關題材影像作品攝製時之參考依據。

ABSTRACT This film looks back to the year 2003 when SARS invaded Taiwan. As a result, Taipei Ho Ping Hospital sealed off its entire building by locking in both medical personnel, outpatients and their families who were screaming for help. The media photos and videos impacted tremendously on Taiwan’s society. As an experienced media professional, I have witnessed the negative impact which was made as a result of a wrong decision to isolate the aforementioned crowds in the hospital, thus violating their human rights. Ten years have now gone by. The people and media have gradually forgotten about the fear generated by this disease. I produced this film B8 about the SARS incident in Ho Ping Hospital, which had not been filmed before. My intention is to portray the incident from the angles which have heretofore never been discussed but which should’ve been questioned. B8 tries to portray aspects of human nature. This narrative film shows how humans look for self-protection when caught under unsetting and fearful circumstances, how humans speak against their conscience when facing conflicts of interests, and how humans struggle with self-reproach to sacrifice the innocent minority to save the majority of people in a society. The script of B8 was based on field-trip investigations, as well as on mass of records acquired by the media, and in-depth interviews with the victims. B8 is 90-minute TV Movie. It uses advanced visual effects technology to show the spread of the virus. This film attempts to use a light approach to explore different aspects of human nature. This work also would like to pay tribute to those medical workers who fought in the front line during the SARS incident. This film was based on true stories. The wrong decision resulted in the spread of the virus as well as the deaths of our front line medical workers. While producing the film, the producer reflected on the social responsibility of the mass media to make available a frank discussion of these problems to society. The film also included, from a producer’s perspective, a summary of the difficulties encountered in the making of this film, both from the pre-production discussions to its completion.
