Felicity felt trapped.

In the beginning, I was just nervous, and maybe a little bit anxious. I took the lead in the big production for the first time. The subtle changes in my mentality created invisible pressure, and I played in front of Lan Li for a long time — and let Lan Li act for himself, then This subtle and special feeling is really hard to describe in words.

Gradually, after failing to pass three times in a row, I began to try the permutation and combination of different performance methods, but lacked a firm belief in the performance process-the performance method I firmly believed did not succeed, and I naturally began to doubt my own role. Whether his comprehension and understanding are correct, he began to explore different performance methods, so that the entire performance style will appear uncertain and unstable.

The increase in variables means that the performance state is unstable.

Then, things seem to be so rigid in a guillotine, lack of confidence leads to instability, instability leads to lack of confidence, forming a vicious circle, and the core of the performance begins to get lost. I always feel that I am repeating myself, but it is getting worse. That kind of confusion and confusion is making people breathless, trying to fight back, but they don't know what happened, and they don't know how to deal with it.

Slowly, slowly, the feeling of drowning and suffocation gradually surrounded me, and finally it was as if all my hands and feet were firmly **** and sinking into the bottom of the lake. I watched myself being swallowed by the dark blue, but couldn't do it. Any reaction, even calling for help, can't work, so I can only get angry at myself.

"card!"

When Garis finished filming again, Felicity had no idea how many times it was. She didn't dare to look up and look at the director's expression at this time. She lowered her head in embarrassment and clasped her hands tightly. Make a fist, do everything possible to suppress the surging of your mood.

Those trivial voices were humming slightly on the set, but the shooting area became more and more quiet. The director did not speak, and other people did not dare to speak.

Garys didn’t want to speak, nor did he dare, but he didn’t know what to say: he also knew that the performance state was wrong, but he didn’t know how to adjust—actually speaking, the general direction was correct, but he didn’t know what to say. In the picture conceived in Reese's mind, he always feels that it is not in place. This kind of subtle deviation cannot be said by himself, so how can he pass it on to the actors? Therefore, he can only choose the most clumsy way, let the actor try again and again, find inspiration in the experiment, and look forward to finally finding the feeling in the ideal state.

At this moment, Garis is also savoring the performance just now. Some parts are right, but some parts are wrong, so how should we coordinate? Still, he can use the editing of the lens to cut the entire performance into pieces, and finally the finished product presented on the big screen will be no problem.

Lan Li is also thinking about it—because he is also part of this scene. Although his lines are only a few lines, Garis has repeatedly filmed eight times, and he has also performed it eight times. There is no way to save effort. This also made him have to start thinking about the balance of the scene.

It is a very interesting thing to look at group performances from the overall perspective. "Burst Drummer" was the first producer, and the subsequent "Jurassic World" and "Lobster" also allowed Lan Li to stand at a higher position as a producer to observe the art of "movie", although He seldom interferes with the work of the director, but he still gave him a new perspective and has a better understanding of acting work.

Performance is not a person's business.

Lan Li knew this in the past. Since the beginning of the college, the teacher has repeatedly emphasized this point. However, Lan Li’s understanding has always been relatively narrow: opponent plays. He just assumed that actors need to interact with their opponents. There is a spark between you and me so that you can find the balance of the performance. Now Lanly has opened his eyes. The performance should interact with the lens, light, sound, etc., just as a stage play must make full use of the stage space and The lights are average, and actors must also learn to use these weapons in movies.

Therefore, people say that acting is never a person's business, even if it is a one-man show, it is not. This is a unique feature of film art.

Now this scene is the best interpretation.

Garys is a director who is very good at using light changes to mobilize space.

We all know the simplest example. The larger the window on the sunny side, the stronger the sense of interior space; on the contrary, the sense of interior space will become narrow and oppressive.

In movies, this is called "lens language", from light to motion trajectory to picture composition, including the use of color, position, and background details, and purchase a large screen, which allows the director to present through the picture With psychological changes, such as the "Desperate Driving" starring Ryan Gosling, director Nicholas Winding Refn has used giant lights to create a vertical, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall building similar to a Nordic city in Los Angeles through the use of giant lights. The alienated light creates the loneliness and emptiness of the entire city. This is the language of the lens.

The same is true for Garis. "Godzilla" can feel his use of light and color, which can also be seen for the first time in today's first scene.

Garys turned off all the main lighting in the conference room, leaving only the light that comes with the computer or the instrument; in addition, the blue-green neon fluorescence was set in the background of the conference room to ensure the firefly-like lighting effect; the most ingenious one is undoubtedly An off-white energy-saving lamp is placed in the central groove of the circular conference table, and a matte lampshade is placed to reduce the light and achieve a hazy halo effect.

As a result, the main color of the entire conference room is still dark, creating a mysterious and even depressing underground effect, suggesting the status quo of the resistance army, and at the same time, it can exert invisible pressure to lay the foundation for the solemn atmosphere of the film's opening, and then cast it. The tragic tone of the whole movie.

So, what should the actors do? Can't let the audience open their eyes and blindly search for the actor's face and expression in a dim halo, right?

In each actor's fixed position, the lighting engineer set up a separate light according to the angle, and gave a small light to gather it in a side way, so that the actor's expression can be presented according to the effect that Garis expects-more often It may be a partial expression, but it is enough.

In other words, every actor is standing under the "spotlight", but overall, the light in the entire scene is dim.

In addition, compared to close-up and close-up shots, Garis prefers to capture the slightly tight atmosphere of the scene. The middle shots and panoramic shots undoubtedly occupy more space in the shot. As a result, this creates a sense of contradiction: on the one hand, the light is focused on the face of the actor, although it is dim; on the other hand, the lens is capturing the middle and panoramic scenes, relatively far away.

The above is the premise.

Only by truly grasping the layout of the shot and the changes in the scene, can you adjust your performance according to the actual situation, especially if you should have more communication with the director. For example, Lan Li knows the overall idea of ​​Garis, he still hopes to present a magnificent atmosphere, because the background of the "Rogue One" story is space; and because the whole story is about a group of people with lofty ideals for a common goal Rather than focusing on a heroic individual, he still hopes to show the whole picture and show the heroic posture of the entire group.

What does all these all mean?

The performance needs to be concise and neat, and the emotions should be as low as possible, but the exact location ends: panic. anger. tension. And so on. Of course, every emotion cannot be pure and straightforward. For example, panic, which may often bring fear and tension. Those derived emotions are inevitable. This also means that actors must be clear about their performance core, and then use delicate And the complicated way presents the characteristics of the whole emotion simply and neatly.

Any extra modification and extension, including exploration and in-depth, is a muddle-headed performance, which may not only destroy the integrity of the picture, but also be lost in Garis’s shots—the middle shots or distant shots can’t capture these at all. In detail, the actor on the screen will only look like a fool.

If Lan Li's performance in "Burst Drummer" or "Gravity" were put in "Rogue One", it would be a total disaster.

Now, the crew is facing such a problem.

Garis can’t know exactly where the problem lies, because he knows very little about acting; but even if he knows, he can’t be sure how to adjust, because this is an actor’s professional problem, and even the actor himself is often at a loss-experience is at this moment. It has become very precious. Actors like Max, Forest and Renly who have experience in blockbuster performances will feel a lot more comfortable, but they still need time to adjust.

The problem does appear with Felicity ~www.novelhall.com~ but it is not just Felicity's problem alone.

First of all, Felicity’s performance was too delicate. She continued the way she performed in independent films. The emotional processing was very good, but all was "ignored" by the camera. On the contrary, her performance was derailed, and the whole shooting process It seemed out of place, as if every tooth of the gear was out of alignment.

Of course, it's not just Felicity's problem, the other actors' performance rhythms are also wrong.

In addition to Felicity, Renly, Angus Wright and May Bell all have lines, and the four of them form the core of the theme of the scene.

But Angus’s performance is too much a stage play, basically maintaining the manner and tone on the stage, just from the way of appearing on the stage with his head upright, it looks wrong, and the whole picture is a different style-although it says "Star Wars Series" "It is hailed as a "space opera", but it is not a real opera.

May Bell's performance was too tight, and the most basic emotions were not able to be conveyed in place, which made the whole picture apparently out of balance.

You don't even need to wait for Renly to come on stage, the basic tonality is already wrong.
