Chapter 160 of the main text volume for everyone

Next chapter

In March, it is a time when it is warm and cold.

Lin Xiaoling wore a thick sweater knitted by herself, a red scarf, and a microphone as she walked on the streets of the capital.

Behind her was a man carrying a camera, slightly chubby, and next to a slightly thin man, a sound engineer.

Today is Sunday, the weather in the capital is not very good, the wind is a little strong, and the bangs on Xiaoling's forehead are a little messy.

When she saw someone coming, she ran over and handed the microphone over.

"Do you think it's windy in the capital?" Lin Xiaoling asked directly.

The other party saw a little girl and the camera behind him, and he was a little stunned, and he didn't know what he was doing.

"It's quite big, what are you doing here?" the man interviewed curious.

"It's okay, let's just ask casually, where are you going?" Lin Xiaoling responded comfortably.

Like a similar conversation, Xiaoling repeated it many times, once born, second familiar, from the embarrassment at the beginning to the current skillful response, she overcame the psychological barrier.

Ms. Lin started filming last week, but with a video camera.

Lin Zixuan looked at the tape after shooting, and always felt that something was missing, the picture did not have the feeling of a documentary, more like an ordinary street interview, lacking a sense of the times.

He consulted with a videographer, who built a shot on film, and preferably with expired film.

Expired film will be polarized, and the light leakage will be strict, and it cannot be used to shoot normal movies, but the effect will have a rough feeling, just like watching an old movie, and there will be the mark of the times when you look at it.

This is the same as the antiques world that makes fake things old.

Lin Zixuan felt that it was very reasonable, so he went to the Beijing Film Studio to find an acquaintance to get a batch of films that had expired for several years.

He also found a recording engineer to record live, and this kind of sudden interview pays attention to authenticity, and there is no way to dub it later.

In order for his sister to cope with the professional course exam of the director department, Lin Zixuan also worked hard.

The cameraman and the sound engineer are both employees of the art center, and Lin Zixuan asked them to help on Sundays, and they knew each other very well, and they didn't talk about the pay, just going to the restaurant for a meal.

If you are shooting a normal film and television drama, the camera should be fixed on a tripod so that the picture can be shot smoothly.

However, this is a street interview, there are not so many requirements for the picture, and it can only appear real when it is shaken, and it can be carried by the cameraman on the shoulder, and the requirements for recording are not high, even if the surrounding noise is recorded, it doesn't matter.

This documentary is all about life and authenticity.

Lin Xiaoling did a lot of homework in advance and designed different questions for different people, Lin Zixuan felt that it would be better to play at will when the time came, and life can often surprise people, rather than being arranged in advance.

The three-person shooting team walked around the capital, and Lin Zixuan drove alongside.

He would drive Lin Xiaoling and the three of them to a crowded place.

For example, hospitals, schools, residential buildings, ** squares, bus stops, restaurants, etc., these places are crowded and miscellaneous, and you can see all kinds of people.

After all, time is limited, this is not a formal documentary, it is impossible to take too long, it is best to shoot it in one day.

Lin Zixuan sometimes watched from the side, and felt that everyone's reaction was very interesting.

For example, when he encounters someone who looks like a cadre, he will not answer the question, but will ask with a little vigilance, "Which unit are you from?"

In ** Square, when asked "what are you thinking when standing here", the answer is often "I feel proud".

In the restaurant, when Lin Xiaoling asked the question "Can I eat with you", facing the camera, most people would send an invitation, and of course some people strongly refused.

At the bus stop, most of the people waiting for the bus are impatient, unwilling to answer questions, and will curse.

In the hospital, you can see a lot of sad faces, facing the camera, revealing too many life and death partings.

The camera captured not only the reactions of each person, but also the appearance of the capital in this era.

Lin Zixuan didn't want to comment on anything, as long as he recorded the state of the capital on this day, it was enough.

At the end of the day, Lin Xiaoling felt that she was still unsatisfied, and in the face of this sudden interview, she could see people's reactions more truly through the lens, and the hypocrisy or sincerity was all revealed in the lens.

She feels that she has gained more from practicing by herself than from reading books, and she can figure out a lot of problems.

The camera is the director's eyes, and the director uses the lens to express her intentions, and she uses the lens to unmask people's faces today and show the real side, which is very enjoyable.

"Brother, is this enough?" Lin Xiaoling said worriedly.

"If you shoot for a day, as long as you cut out 60 minutes from it, even if you don't edit it, you can just hand it in, if it's really good, the examiner should wonder if you shot it. Lin Zixuan replied.

"Let's cut it, the plot is tight, there are a lot of scenes running around in the middle, and there are places where people are scolded, I look so stupid. Lin Xiaoling said dissatisfied.

"Then you can find Brother Feng and ask him to cut it for you. Lin Zixuan arranged.

In China, the art examination is generally held at the end of May, and the college entrance examination is at the beginning of July.

After filming this documentary, Lin Xiaoling's internship life in the crew is coming to an end, and she will enter a cram school in the next four months and prepare for the college entrance examination with all her might.

Don't pass the professional class exam, but you haven't taken the college entrance examination, then you will be depressed.

Feng Xiaogang is now Lin Zixuan's assistant, or the artistic director of the center, who is usually responsible for the supervision of various crews, and will shoot a play in the second half of the year, and is currently saving scripts.

After the filming of "Beijingers in New York", he didn't have much interest in the TV series and felt that there was no challenge.

As he said in New York, he has passed this hurdle and has become much more confident.

Feng Xiaogang helped Lin Xiaoling cut the film, which was a bit overkill.

Actually, you can find any editor, but Lin Zixuan trusts Feng Xiaogang, he wants to watch Feng's style documentary, and at the same time let Lin Xiaoling learn a little more.

Each director has his own style, and the same shooting material can be expressed differently by the director through guò editing.

Feng Xiaogang's edited "The Wind in the Capital is Very Strong" is very ironic, he aimed the camera at the characters, highlighting the expressions of these people at the moment of answering questions, and there is a sense of black humor.

If Lin Zixuan were to edit, he would pay more attention to life and life in the capital at this moment, and he would be more warm.

Lin Xiaoling likes to be true and follow the story behind everyone.

This also represents their respective personalities. (To be continued.) )
