"Jesus-damn-God, what happened to this?"

Damien stood next to him, venting his dissatisfaction and depression, only to find that Simmons and Lan Li completely ignored his existence and communicated and communicated with each other, which made Damien extremely depressed: He is the director, isn't he? Why didn't anyone listen to his long talk?

But gradually, Damien changed his taste.

The aura between Simmons and Lanly is quietly changing. It is an invisible airflow, invisible or intangible, and even impossible to describe accurately, but every pore on the skin surface can really feel the subtle change. Dynamic.

Just now, Simmons was in a state of impetuous restlessness, and the entire aura seemed chaotic and fragile, as if it might collapse at any time; while Lan Li appeared calm and quiet, the kind of powerful aura that seemed to be overwhelming. Enough to control everything in the palm of your hand.

Now, Lan Li has become flustered and fragile. The helplessness flows out slowly, as if hanging on a high-altitude rope, teetering; while Simmons has become certain and sharp, gradually unfolding. Both shoulders and eyebrows are controlling the audience bit by bit.

One up and down, one down together, one back and forth, the confrontation between the two actors quietly completed the offensive and defensive transition, as if all the dominoes that disrupted the order were re-arranged, orderly, layered, row upon row , That kind of seamless fluency is really pleasing to the eye.

"Huh, what's the matter?" Damien's curiosity spontaneously spontaneously emerged. Such a chemical reaction is really wonderful, but how exactly did the conversion complete? The picture I just shot came to mind again, and after analogy with the scene in front of me, a strange look and feel was born, which was difficult to express in words.

just like……

It’s as if the two-dimensional barrier has been broken, reality and illusion are completely intertwined, true and false, false and true, everything is completely confused, and even once again awakens Damien’s memories in high school, recalling those The days and nights spent in the rehearsal room recalled the cruelty of the demon teacher.

"Damien?" There was a call in the ear, interrupting Damien's thoughts, turning his head and seeing his own drama, "They are ready, they can go to filming again."

The play paused for a while, "Damien, are you... okay?" At this time, Damien's entire forehead was covered with sweat. It looked like he had just been fished out of the lake, and even his face looked extremely pale. .

Damien froze for a while and waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm fine." As if to convince himself, he repeated it again, "Yes, I'm fine." Gradually, Damien came back to his senses. He straightened his waist, turned his head and looked around, "All personnel in all departments are prepared, let's do it again."

His gaze fell on Lanly and Simmons again, and Damien hesitated: Should he be frustrated? Talk face to face? Re-examine the key scenes? Repeatedly emphasize the key points of the performance? Put more pressure and motivation on the two actors?

The mixed thoughts were surging back and forth in his mind. After thinking about it, Damien finally obeyed his instinct, turned around, returned to the back of the camera, and shouted to the crew, "Everyone is ready After looking around for a week and making sure that everyone is ready, he directly issued the instruction, "Start shooting!"

The shooting started again, from the beginning.

Because of the difficulty of this scene, the whole mood is coherent, and the two characters of Fletcher and Andrew are completely outlined in the ups and downs. It is conceivable that the difficulty of shooting is also extraordinary. Damien conceived a variety of different ideas. Shooting methods, but most of the shooting methods are too difficult——

For the actors' performance rhythm and emotional state, for the cameraman's shooting position and shot scheduling, as well as for the continuity and consistency of other amateur actors, all put forward extremely strict requirements.

Shooting once, there is no problem; shooting twice, there is no problem; but switching to different angles and shooting five times and six times, even if the number of errors in each link is not counted, each angle and shot are passed once, which is for the entire crew It is also a test beyond imagination.

The simplest and most intuitive, Simmons and Lanly's slap scenes were so difficult once, let alone five consecutive slaps six times after changing the angle? Moreover, according to Lan Li’s request, everything is real. In order to create an effect, Simmons can’t be merciful. So if Lan Li’s cheeks are swollen, how should they switch the angle to shoot?

Damien once considered a mirror to the end, using a super long lens to capture the life of the whole scene into the lens, and then through the scheduling of the motion lens, from the full coverage to the focus, all the focus of attention falls on Renly and Simmons; but after conceiving a variety of long-shot schemes, Damien gave up the idea.

On the one hand, the technical difficulty is too high. From the aspect of the sentient beings to the individual focus, the control of the scene scheduling needs to be extremely precise, and the tight atmosphere is presented through the switching from surface to point. This is only Damien's second work. , His ability has not reached such a high level; on the other hand, even if it is really completed, the dazzling composition is higher than the shooting needs, but it is easy to take the lead and steal the elegance of two actors.

After careful consideration, Damien adopted the multi-camera shooting technique of American TV series.

In the United States, before the strong rise of the Netflix model, TV series were filmed and broadcast, and scripts were also filmed and written to ensure that they could keep pace with the current social events every week. This also made the post-editing work very tense and difficult. Possibly shortening the time, the crew came up with a brand-new shooting method, but only suitable for the studio.

The crew set up multiple cameras in different corners of the studio, including parallel camera positions, overlooking camera positions, front and back camera positions, etc. Different angles; when shooting, the actors must be familiar with the location of the camera in advance to ensure their performance Will not deviate from the focus, and then start shooting at the same time, record at the same time, and perform at the same time.

In this way, a scene with multiple actors and multiple cameras only needs to be filmed once, and all roles and positions from all angles are captured in one go. Post-production can be edited in different permutations and combinations according to the director’s needs, which not only saves money It also saves the time of post-editing and production by repeatedly switching the shooting time of the lens.

Of course, this is a kind of assembly line industry, very lazy and very rigid.

In the process of real film art creation, the camera is an extremely important link. The position and angle of the photographer, the photographer’s capture of light and shadow and the composition of the picture are themselves a work full of inspiration. Those top photographers The industry is a pivotal existence.

If all fixed-camera shooting is used, the charm of photography will be lost.

However, it does not hurt for TV dramas, because TV dramas are the art of screenwriters, and what really attracts the audience is the screenwriter's foreshadowing and control of the plot. The roles of photography and director have been weakened and reduced as much as possible.

Now, Damien is ready to use this shooting technique among the "Burst Drummers." Although this was a last resort choice, Damien still tried to restore the spirituality of artistic creation-instead of fixing the camera position, he used two photographers to move around the camera shoulder to complete the shooting.

To put it simply, the whole scene was filmed smoothly, without switching between different camera positions or angles, but by two photographers in person. There was no shooting track or tripod, and it was completely handheld. One photographer aimed at Simmons. , A photographer aimed at Lan Li, and through their cross transposition, all the tension and sparks of the whole scene were captured while avoiding the camera from capturing each other.

This is undoubtedly the most difficult part.

First, the difficulty of the actor's performance needless to say.

Second, the photographer's position must be accurate and in place, not only the lens cannot capture each other's figure, but also to prevent the shadows on the ground from exposing their position~www.novelhall.com~ and it can't block the actors. Performance sight.

Third, the work of the lighting engineer is very important, and the uniformity and stability of the lighting must be ensured.

In fact, the difficulty of shooting in this way is definitely not less than that of a long shot in the end, but Damien is able to give the shots more "drums" rhythm through the power of post-editing, like the heart, and become the whole movie. Vitality.

Therefore, for this scene, the photographer, lighting engineer and two leading actors have rehearsed for three full nights, just like a rehearsal stage play. Under the guidance of Lan Li, they constantly rehearsed and walked. To avoid potential flaws caused by intricate positioning, they must reduce each other's positioning as much as possible, and complete the most effective shooting and performance with the most precise pace.

It's like Lingbo's microsteps.

It is precisely because of this that the filming just now went so smoothly and smoothly, but because Simmons retreated and fell short of success, Damien was so upset and depressed, and exhausted all his strength to express his frustration.

Now that they have reinvested in filming again, they have to start from the beginning again, as if-like Domino, if one link went wrong, then all must be overthrown and restarted.

Under Damien's instructions, the whole scene starts from the beginning.

Fortunately, this time, both Lan Li and Simmons were not affected at all. The entire shooting was still advancing according to the established track without the slightest error; moreover, the mood was fuller and more in place, as revealed in Lan Li’s eyes Emotions are quietly driving the rhythm of the whole scene.

Then, the highlight finally arrived again.

"Start counting."

"Five six seven..."

"Count to four hell! Look at me!"

Fletcher is like a terrifying devil, pressing every step of the way!
