Chapter 63: NO is NG, YES is OK!
(Internet café ing...... The feeling of being so aggrieved is completely incomparable to Hu Yifei's code of 40,000 words in an Internet café in one night. )
Any photography that asks the lighting team to light before fixing the composition is a hooligan: "Hit you, hit you, what if you play a goof, are you responsible?" Do you want to move it again, who are you? "Bulky lights, recording equipment, bits and pieces can fit a big car. This thing is not physically strong, and it really can't be played. If you don't have the right fit, it will become more and more chaotic.
In Hong Kong, the gaffer is known as the "lamp master", there is a jargon called "offend no one, don't offend the lamp master", in case he gives you a little dim when the light is lit, then it will be dark, and there will be no place for you to cry. Its importance is self-evident. But Hu Yifei thinks that this is also related to the fact that the vast majority of Hong Kong films do not have standardized pre-composition, and in that era of efficiency, even the script is written in the spot, how can the gaffer work hard.
And at this time, the actor can rest, and it should be replaced by light.
This is not only something that needs to be paid attention to when filming stars, no matter how small the crew is, at this time the actors should not be allowed to stand in the picture as a reference for lighting, because the actors' emotions are easily affected by the lighting masters who are shouting and busy around them, and standing for a long time, the actors will be numb, which is not conducive to performance. If you are baked by the light for a long time, you will be a little sluggish, and you will constantly have to touch up your makeup.
Light substitution, that is, the height is about the same as the actor, the figure is similar, and the clothes of the same color are worn (different are fine, but not too different), whoever......
After figuring out the meaning of the composition, it is time for lighting and scenery.
Before lighting, the gaffer should have been standing in front of the monitor and starting to shape the light according to the picture set by the photographer.
But this is not a job that everyone can do, it should be noted that the lighting engineer must take into account all the actors that may be covered in this shot, walking, and performing, so as to prevent not taking on the scene; In the shooting of feature films, it is necessary to follow the same method of shooting from panorama to close-up; When shooting the same scene, such as shooting front and back with a single camera, be sure to shoot all the cameras under one light position first. Otherwise, no matter how accurate the memory is, it will be difficult to make the lighting completely consistent when reshooting shots in the same position; The direction of the main light and the light ratio must be fixed, and the data should be measured and recorded to prevent goofing......
Secondly, the placement of detailed props also requires Hu Yifei or the photographer to personally command. Certain small props, such as the spinning top in Inception, are often the most important part of the language of the shot. The director wants to put it in for the narrative service, while the photographer wants to put it for the sake of the good looks.
A qualified prop master will quickly take photos with the camera after putting it away, including this thing, the angle of visit, and the relationship with the surrounding props, the purpose is still to take the scene and not to wear gangs.
This was also done correctly, and it was the actor's turn to adjust the makeup and costumes.
The adjustment here is not just about changing a set of clothes, but whether there are reflective points on the actor's face? Do you need to make up the powder? Whether there is any extra dirt on the actor's clothes, whether the thread is needed or not, etc.
"Director, where is camera number two?"
Hu Yifei didn't want to think: "Behind the stairs, pay attention to capture the changes in the actors' footsteps as they walk down the stairs." When you go down the stairs for a while, you can kick off a slipper and try to show casualness at home. ”
"Director, where did you put this ragdoll bear?" The prop spoke again.
"Within the range of the camera, it can be placed on the sofa, or on the ground, you can do it. In short, this is a otaku character who doesn't like to clean up.,The image should be lazy.,Understand? ”
"Oh, got it."
"Director......
"Here, if you have something to say, don't shout so loudly."
“……”
Hu Yi flew around and swept around, almost, and asked one more question at the end, "Who else is not clear?" "No one answered," ...... Binbin? ”
Fan Binbin didn't speak, just made an OK gesture.
The actor is also OK, okay, it's Hu Yifei's turn to work, he raised the microphone and shouted: "The recording microphone is in place!" ”
This profession that requires strong arm strength is on the scene quickly, and professional microphone players should also follow the scene when they are in the play, and try to record a sample first. Let the recording engineer know the weight of each sentence, every detail, where to avoid, and where to record clearly.
At this time, it is officially on the top~~ If it is a sports lens, you have to communicate with the photographer, it is best for everyone to walk together to see if there is any goofs during the exercise.
The loudspeaker continued to shout: "Final inspection of the various departments! ”
The lighting team will see if this actor is beautiful enough.
The props team checked to see if there was anything missing.
The camera crew finally checked for goofs.
"Everyone on the scene is immobilized."
Everyone on the scene, unrelated people can leave the scene, it is better to leave and go to the monitor to see the results. If you can't leave, stand still quickly, and it's best to crouch down, so as not to block the light, or the shadow movement will cause goofs.
Hu Yifei quickly ordered: "Rollcamera!" ”
The photographer operating the machine shrank his head behind the camera barrel and shouted back, "Rolling!" ”
"Rollsound!"
The young man began to hold the board in front of the camera, reporting the scene number, the mirror number, the number of times, and the board: "The second scene, one shot, the first ......" This is the turn of the exciting "Action!" ”
"Bang~!"
-- Filming officially began.
Different positions shout different words: recording start-up recording engineer shouts: Rollsound/Soundspeed/Rolling, camera boot camera director shouts: Camerarolling (Camerarolling) director shouts: start (Action). After the first shot is taken, it needs to be played back.
All the above processes need to go through three coordinations, lifting, falling, and movement processes.
Hu Yifei insisted on going through the procedure, and there was a reason for him.
He has always believed that a large part of the reason why Chinese crews have friction at work is because they don't follow this process. In fact, missing any step will cause panic in other departments. There is no efficiency in shooting a shot, there are always mistakes, which is the reason for the slow shooting, and the time wasted by doing the details is not a waste at all.
After a round of shooting, Fan Binbin acted well, Hu Yifei watched it with a harsh eye, and ordered it to be reshot again before it was done.
"Good, ready for the next one."
Fan Binbin passed twice, and his acting skills have improved significantly compared to Huanzhu. But the most eye-catching performance was Hu Yifei. With such complicated preparations, Hu Yifei arranged them in an orderly manner, and did the work meticulously step by step. No matter who asks a question, he can give a satisfactory answer. No matter where the crew is located, lighting, props, recording, or cinematography...... is very skillful, so people can't tell that he is a newcomer who is in contact with the director's work for the first time. The angry shout also made people subconsciously ignore his age.
No wonder it's surprising!
In fact, as long as you keep this mode and get used to it, the benefits to future shooting work are absolutely amazing.
Han Mi was very relieved to lean over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I didn't see it, Ah Fei, you really didn't blow it, and it was not much more than Director Liu's steadiness." On the side, Liu Qingqing also nodded with his hands and arms, obviously agreeing with the student's professional knowledge.
Liu Jiang waved his hand on the side and said modestly: "Obviously, there is a kind of person who cannot be reasoned with ordinary people. Compare Ah Fei with me, that is to lift me up. When I was his age, I was still struggling in the classroom. ”
Taking advantage of the break, Fan Binbin also came over, very curious, "Ah Fei, how did you do it?" Isn't it easy to be a director? ”
Hu Yifei didn't think that this was such a glorious thing, he needed so many people to praise him, and coughed dryly: "It's not difficult, first of all, you have to be serious." ”
"Uh-huh, and then what?"
"Shout Action to start filming, and then you all know that the actor is in a position to perform, and the director is responsible for watching the camera, NO is NG, YES is OK."
"It's that simple?!"
Hu Yifei shrugged.
