"West Lake" is a grand vision and exquisite viewpoint, which combines graceful and unconstrained, documentary and freehand brushwork. We should not only pay attention to details, but also open up space, and strive to make this new work of the West Lake penetrate the history of China, explore the profound heritage of Jiangnan culture, absorb the unique light and shadow of the four seasons, and make it an encyclopedia of the West Lake with visual arts. In the specific implementation process, in addition to in-depth and meticulous shooting of people, scenery, cultural relics and scenery related to the West Lake, some typical historical events will also be reproduced to restore the evolution of the West Lake in three dimensions.

By reading the historical documents of the West Lake, analyzing the existing works and interviewing the West Lake, based on the classification of events, people, details, scenic spots and reappearance, the West Lake has produced ten sets of titles, which are the clouds and water of the West Lake, the memory of Lin 'an, the old shadow of the West Lake, the clear rain on the lake and the fragrant city in turn. These titles are not only closely related to the theme that dominates the whole film, but also have their own unique mission, and will also show the artistic characteristics of "harmony without difference". Taking Old Shadow of the West Lake as an example, this paper not only tries to collect a lot of early film materials, but also plans to complete the comparison between Old Shadow of the West Lake and the current style on the premise of the same plane, the same scenery and different scenery, so as to make this work have a sense of literature.
