Chapter Eighty-Four: Filming "Working Girl"
After most of the shots of the MV of "Part-time Worker" were filmed, Liu Fei and others began to shoot the MV of "Part-time Girl", this song has a strong sense of sadness, and the shooting scene is also a little different from "Part-time Worker". One of the pen, fun, and www.biquge.info is an inspirational song, and the other is a practical life song embodied in the migrant girl. The later "Working Girl" did not shoot the MV, so this has to be said to be a big pity.
This song sings the bitterness of working girls who have been working outside for many years, and sings the helplessness of working girls. For life, for home, running around, hard work............. It's a pity that such a song that can be sung, which is at the bottom of the society, and really comes from the hearts of the people, why is it not widely sung?
This song is really meaningful compared to the so-called pop songs of later generations. Liu Fei really wants to show the final charm of this song in the form of a MV, so that people across the country know the hardships and real lives of girls working outside.
On February 19, 2005, the weather was cold in Guangzhou, and the cold wind in the early morning blew off the yellow leaves, making people feel cold.
In a remote village in Guangzhou City, a truck, a Jinbei car, a BMW X5, and a mighty pickup truck are parked in the valley field at the entrance of the village.
In order to shoot better this time, Liu Fei also invited two professional extras in Guangzhou. The first is to reshoot the out-of-home scene of "Part-time Worker", and the second, to shoot the out-of-home shot of "Part-time Girl".
The song "Working Girl" really reflects a lot of helplessness, and Liu Fei wants to express it completely and truthfully through some shots.
In an ordinary tiled house, Han Qiuying had already arranged the lights in place, and Miao Feng and Hu Chengnan were both holding reflectors. He Chao is responsible for the camera position on the track, Wang Chengbiao is responsible for pushing the rail car, and Yang Xiaoxiao is responsible for the camera position set up on the tripod to shoot close-up shots.
Inside the hall was a dilapidated square table with two plates of vegetables and a plate of cured meat. Tang Yanran sat at the side of the table, holding a bowl of rice in her hand, wearing a gray cotton coat, and her hair was slightly messy. There was also a middle-aged man with gray hair and a middle-aged woman with a wrinkled face sitting next to the table.
Liu Fei's MV for filming "Working Girl" is completely based on the film shooting mode, and there is a fairly standard process for film shooting, and only by following the process can the efficiency of film shooting be ensured. The filming of the film can be divided into five steps, the actor moves, fixes the lighting, moves the lighting, the reflector follows the movement, the actor rehearses, the scene fine-tuning, and finally the shooting.
The first step is positioning, the so-called positioning is that the actor simply plays the content of the scene roughly, so as to determine the position of the actor during the performance, as well as the actions of the characters.
The actor determines the route of the position, so that the gaffer can fill in the light, and the cameraman can find the best angle for his shot.
Only by determining the actor's position, the cameraman can determine the camera position, scene and movement technique according to the actor's performance area, and then determine the camera's starting and falling frame, the focal length and high and low position of the lens, etc. At the same time, the gaffer can determine the light level and arrange the lighting in the performance area.
Liu Fei took the script and came to Tang Yanran and the three of them, and then said: "I'll repeat this set of shots we shot again, wait for Tang Yanran to tell her parents that she is going out to work, and I hope my parents will take care of their health." The two of you starred in the parents with a very reluctant look on their faces, and your father took out hundreds of yuan of change wrapped in layers from his coat pocket and handed it to Tang Yanran.
The mother ran into the house, and then put a few eggs in Tang Yanran's backpack with a few eggs in her hand. The three of you must remember your position, expressions, and movements, do you understand? ”
"Understood!"
"Good! We'll start filming right away. Hey! Liu Fei saw that two spotlights were not in the right position.
Han Qiuying shone the two spotlights on the roof on the right and dimmed the light.
Liu Fei found that something was wrong with the lighting, so he asked Han Qiuying to adjust it immediately.
It didn't take long for the lighting to be adjusted by Han Qiuying.
After Wang Xiaoshan followed Liu Fei to shoot a MV, he has now basically completely mastered Liu Fei's shooting concepts and techniques. After seeing that everything was ready, he made a gesture to Tang Xueqin.
Tang Xueqin took the slate board, came to He Chao's seat, and then clicked down the slate board.
"Let's go!"
Tang Yanran held the rice bowl with trembling hands, her eyes were even a little moist, she lowered her head and said to her parents: "Abba, grandma, I will leave with them after dinner, I hope the second elder will take care of his health............."
After hearing this, the second elder looked reluctant, his father stood up tremblingly, and then took out 20 yuan, 10 yuan, and five Huaxia coins wrapped in layers of black cloth from his coat pocket, and then handed them all to Xia Yanran.
The mother also ran into the room, then took a few eggs and put them in the backpack not far from the table.
"Over!" Wang Xiaoshan was very satisfied when he saw it. Professional actors are different, Tang Yanran often performs on stage, and she is not afraid of the camera at all, not to mention the two professional extras invited, they both acted very well and were in place.
"The next set of shots is Tang Yanran tearfully putting down the rice bowl in her hand, and then walking out of the hall with her backpack, and she covered her face with her hands and ran out of the hall pretending to cry."
"Are you ready?"
"Let's go! .................”
"Over!"
Both sets of shots went smoothly, and Liu Fei was very satisfied.
The next set of shots is to shoot Tang Yanran walking to the entrance of the village, and then walking out of the village with two girls from the same village.
Everyone began to pack up the lights, two hours later, the lights at the entrance of the village have been arranged, Miao Feng and Hu Chengnan, who are in charge of the reflector, are also ready, He Chao is sitting on the manned lifting rocker, and Wang Chengbiao is responsible for overriding the rocker.
Directly in front of the road, there is also a high-power blower, which is used to assist the cameraman in filming the shot of Tang Yanran's hair being blown up by the wind when she walked.
This poor and backward village has never seen a movie, and for a while, the villagers were curious and ran out to watch it.
There were too many people, which had an impact on the shooting, so Liu Fei took out 200 yuan and handed it to the two middle-aged men, asking them to be in charge of the order of the scene, and persuaded those villagers not to run into the filming area.
Under a big tree at the entrance of the village, stood five girls about seventeen or eighteen years old, all carrying a denim backpack.
"My Ah Yan is going to be on TV!" An old woman with white hair said happily.
"My Ah Xin is also going to be on TV." A woman in her 40s looked at the villagers around her and said loudly with a proud look on her face. As if worried that the villagers didn't know.
Wang Xiaoshan sat in front of the monitor, holding a horn in one hand, and after scanning his eyes, he asked loudly, "Are you ready?" ”
"That's it!"
"Does the actor remember his position?"
"Remember!"
"The fourth shot of "Working Girl" began to ......." Tang Xueqin played the clapper and exited the camera.
The specific information such as camera position and scene sequence number recorded on the slate board is to facilitate the search and correspondence during post-editing, so as to avoid confusion in the order of the scene. Before each set of shots starts, the slate uses the slate to complete the action of "shooting", and the camera shoots the slate lens and percussion sound at the same time, whether it is post-dubbing or editing, the sound or picture can be used to determine the accurate sound and image positioning, which is convenient for editing or dubbing.
Especially for multi-camera shooting, there is a fixed track of the sound effect of the board before the official shooting, and the post-editing will be much more convenient.
Wang Xiaoshan took the horn, and when he put the horn to his mouth, he shouted loudly: "Start!" ”
He Chao and Wang Chengbiao started shooting, Wang Chengbiao controlled the rocker arm and let the rocker arm slowly descend.
Wang Xiaoshan took the bullhorn and shouted again: "Go!" ”
Tang Yanran walked in the front, everyone was carrying big backpacks and began to appear in the camera.
There is no dialogue in this set of shots, just positioning.
