Chapter 317: In front of the camera
I have to say that the documentary film team of BB@C is very professional, and in any industry, professionalism is the best benchmark, which is the most objective measure to test the level.
Documentary filmmaking is the kind of video classification that lies somewhere between a newsreel and a film, which is both faithful to the subject through the lens and the elements behind the subject through choreography and secondary processing.
These two points are also important calipers to test the professionalism of the film team.
The film crew that can achieve these two points is obviously the team with the highest degree of professionalism.
This can be seen from the use of lens language.
One morning, Schott was almost not interrupted and assigned by the film crew, he followed his own habits, what should he do, except for running on the treadmill, due to the imperfect zoom performance of the lens, Schott ran again, and it was precisely because of this extra run that his sweat droplets were bigger than before, the film crew captured this bean-sized sweat bead, a big close-up, only to see the sweat beads sliding down Shot's face and hanging on his cheeks, he stretched out his hand and shook it, and the camera was able to fly a flick of the mirror, just like a sniper in a shooting game, non-masters can do nothingγ
The lens knows what to capture, and what purpose the captured lens will be used for in post-production, such as transitions, CG modeling, layered special effects, etc., a camera that has no pressure in mind is not a good camera, in China, this is called a camera to have a sense of choreographer.
In fact, this is not accurate, and it should be accurate to say that it should be integrated.
This is not such an unfathomable word, that is, the photographer is required to judge his heart with a focus on the subject and naturally give birth to the logical expression of the subject's lens language storyboard, which should be pure lens language, so a good photographer is half a choreographer.
The tall Malaysian blonde photographer in front of me is at this level, and of course, the B group is not bad.
Therefore, this is a documentary, which minimizes the traces of artificial "director" and integrates into the subject of performance.
In China, the common so-called documentary shooting mode is how many lights you have to bring and how many bends and straights the track has...... This is still semi-professional, more common is the kind of film crew with a lamp but does not know how to swing, blindly swinging, blindly directing, such a film crew director generally needs a monitor, a director's chair, for each shot is like a "cinematic" general diligent, and then arbitrarily at the mercy of the shooting subject, the reputation is that this is artistic rigor.
The so-called documentaries produced by such film crews are the same, the shots are neat but dead, and the commentary is more like official writing.
In an industry, there are many such phenomena, and it seems that it has slowly become an industry standard, which is a disaster for the industry itself.
Slowly, some semi-professionals with unique perspectives began to play with documentaries in a familiar field with their interest, which may be the spark after the ashes, and the fire will not be extinguished, which is the hope of the future of documentaries.
The so-called nirvana is nothing more than that.
Rather do the very few than the majority, this is art.
And documentaries are the only art form in the field of television journalism.
Having said that, when he returned to the filming site of Short's house, it was not until breakfast was over and when Short was about to go out that he remembered the film crew, and he called Winnie to his side, "Seal a red envelope for each of them, it is really good enough, I feel that this film will definitely be successful!"
Winnie nodded......
Short changed his shoes and was about to go out, picking up his car keys, when the director of the film crew came over and said very politely: "Mr. Short, please stay, can you follow you on your way to work?"
"Uh......" Schott was stunned, "may I ask how to follow the shot?"
"It's very simple, yes, you just need a camera to get on your car, and then put a camera in front of your car, can you see it?"
"Okay, let's go. β
"Also, it's a good idea to wait for us when you get to your destination, we want to capture the first time you step inside, not just pose stiffly. β
"Yes, understand, then we will meet in the parking lot of the destination, Ma Lu, you talk to them. β
After that, Schott went out the door, and the B-camera photographer followed behind Schott, following him all the way.
Short drove his Rolls-Royce Phantom, very relaxed, completely like on a normal day, basically looking at the camera.
"Mr. Short, do you often drive your own car? Do you think your car is driving very well......" the photographer said abruptly to the random monitor.
"Uh...... Yes, I like to drive by myself, and the process of driving can be more convenient for thinking, but it's not really a serious thinking, it's just the state where the subconscious mind is still active, more selfish, do you understand when I say that?" Schott naturally glanced at the photographer after speaking, uh...... Well, people turned out not to be gossiping, they were still working meticulously, in filming......
Schott opened the conversation and said: "In other words, the process of driving is actually a kind of relaxation of thinking, a different kind of rest, you can touch yourself more and feel your integration with the city." β
The photographer couldn't help but make an OK gesture at Schott with one free hand at the moment, obviously, Schott's words were very satisfying to him, and he caught it!
Short also felt a sense of relief in his heart, at any time, in any way, people have the right taste for each other.
That's right, in a channel, you know my movements, I understand your language, each performing its own duties and intertwining and cooperating, but not half a step beyond the thunder pool, this is probably an advanced form of society, right?
Shortt is more comfortable steering the wheel and driving to his new office space, he already knows how to face the camera and how to use it to express himself.
In other words, this is also a science, facing the camera, people have a natural fear of emotion, some people are like this, their stomachs are full of hard goods, they stop cooking in front of the camera, and they can't do themselves.
And like Schott, the first time he was followed, he got the hang of it for the first time.
What's the trick?
SCHOTT parked the car and looked at the time, it was still early. The follow-up convoy did not arrive, and waited and waited.
The trick is how to present yourself in front of the camera?
Schott's lesson is not to make unnecessary movements, even if you are in a daze, you should look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and try to look in one direction when you are in a daze......
After doing this, it is all drama in the camera!
