"Kerry!"

On the makeshift set in the living room, Murphy called Carey Mulligan over, and the test shoot just now turned out well, but he felt that Kerry Mulligan could do better, "You haven't reached the time to change yet, you have to show your naïve side more naturally." ”

After rejecting James Franco's invitation that night, Carey Mulligan gradually formed a plan in his mind to temporarily suppress his opinion of James Franco, whether it was rehearsals or on-location shooting, although the table was far from perfect, but it also allowed people to see her rapid progress.

James Franco, on the other side, got out of the role and looked at Carey Mulligan, who listened to Murphy, and in the last week, he showed the so-called sincerity, and the girl's attitude towards him has obviously improved, and it seems that the rookie director's statement is very reasonable.

Although Carey Mulligan doesn't mess around with him, he occasionally makes a few jokes, which makes James Francoch's itchy heart somewhat comforted, and everything is changing for the better......

The corners of his mouth curled up, as if he saw that his heart's desire had been fulfilled.

"You're doing a great job, Carrey." Murphy went on to say to Carey Mulligan, "But I know you can do better, didn't you tell me you're an acting genius? Take all your potential and show me it. ”

Kerry Mulligan wrinkled his nose, "I will." ”

"Let's get ready." Murphy waved at her.

Make-up artist Jake Watson next to him immediately followed Carey Mulligan to touch up her and James Franco's makeup.

The next step was a test shoot, where Murphy, the director and cinematographer, had to adjust not only the actors' state and position, but also the most suitable shooting position and shooting technique.

Although many of the shooting methods are planned with ideas, for a novice like him, there is sometimes a big difference between ideation and on-location shooting.

"Lights ready!" Murphy shouldered the camera, "Actor ready!" Begin! ”

Due to a previous test shoot, both the mediocre gaffer John Douglas and the heroes and heroines James Franco and Carey Mulligan quickly got into the groove, especially the latter two, which appeared in Murphy's camera lens according to the set position.

James Franco's cup was handed to Carey Mulligan, who withdrew his gaze from the living room and looked at James Franco with bright eyes, but did not take the cup.

"What's wrong?" James Franco asked.

Kerry Mulligan innocently said, "Adults tell us that we can't just drink drinks from other men." ”

After several rehearsals and test shoots, the two of them improved their control of this scene, but Murphy did not use the shooting method of the test shoot just now, but changed the position and shooting method.

During the shoot, not only the actors and other behind-the-scenes staff need to adjust, but also the director and cinematographer to find the most suitable way to get the best result.

During the film's shooting, Murphy tried to control all the elements that appear in the frame, which was very helpful for the narrative, and he also used both open and closed framing.

In addition, when shooting with Steadicam, he also paid great attention to the spatial coherence of the framing.

Spatial coherence is very important, and Murphy has long identified the living room, the center point of the temporary set, and then used guò to create overlapping methods, so that the independent images have the same elements, so as to clarify the spatial relationship between the characters.

In the footage being filmed, whether it's a close-up of James Franco or a panorama of Carey Mulligan, there is that mug, which both expresses the peculiar relationship between the two and sends a message to the viewer that the mug will play an important role in the rest of the episode.

Murphy is also careful to avoid too many close-ups, because the same tall and full close-ups are not the only way to clarify the spatial relationship between the characters, otherwise the continuous close-ups in the film will only make the picture appear stiff and dull, without any spirituality.

Therefore, Murphy takes Carey Mulligan as the center of the axis and shoots clockwise, this kind of 360-degree axis surround shooting, which is also a shooting technique often used in movies, especially the famous Michael Bay, when showing the relationship and love of the characters, he will basically give a 360-degree axis around.

Axis shooting was originally created entirely for smooth editing, many people think that it is too rigid and should break it, but Murphy does not see it that way, this technique is still widely used today, which shows its value, especially for novice directors, a thing must be skillfully applied before talking about breaking, otherwise what is the difference between it and random shooting?

Of course, there are also many directors who break the axis, such as those who can destroy psychological expectations, create a sense of chaos, change the position of the characters, etc., but those are all created after mastery.

After the test shoot, Murphy did not start filming immediately, but announced a temporary break, and then called the editor.

The editor was in place the other day, from Fox Los Angeles Channel 6, the same Griffith that Murphy used to learn from, and he only needed a $10,000 friendship price.

Compared to a novice like Murphy, Griffith, although not well-known, is a seasoned veteran when it comes to editing.

Griffith taught Murphy a lot of the details of how to schedule the editor's work as a director, such as how the director arranges the editors on set, how to communicate with them, how to handle the pacing and arrangement of the material, how to use music and sound effects in editing, and so on.

Murphy took a few footage from today's shoot and went into a makeshift studio on the right side of the living room with Griffith to make a preliminary live edit of the footage.

Unlike editors, who also need to be involved in the filming of the film, but many directors don't do live editing, Murphy needs live editing as an aid, which can make up for the lack of experience, such as whether the scene he designed can be completed reasonably, or whether the form can present his ideas, so he needs the help of an experienced person like Griffith.

On the other hand, Murphy needed to see if there were any other possibilities in the existing stuff.

Also, such on-site editing can also help rookie directors find a sense of rhythm.

The sense of rhythm is relatively empty, and the movie is composed of many elements, so it has many aspects, and Murphy considers the rhythm of emotions the most.

For example, Hayley's attitude towards Jeff has changed sequentially.

After being busy in the studio for a long time, Murphy came out to announce the official start of filming, so many adjustments and test shooting, the direct director zhì shooting speed was extremely slow, and after a day, there were only three passes.

"That's all for today."

As the sky outside the window darkened, Murphy announced that the work was over and that tomorrow would be the weekend, and despite the unsatisfactory filming schedule, in order to maintain the morale of the crew, he still said loudly, "Saturday is a day off." ”

He himself also needs a little time to sum up.

Jessica Chastain walked over and whispered, "I need to go back to the city." ”

Murphy waved his hand directly, Jessica Chastain had just left, and Carey Mulligan, who had finished removing his makeup, came in front of him, "Murphy, are you going back for the weekend?" ”

"No......" Murphy shook his head, his face tired, and his head seemed to ache again, "I have work to do." ”

"So, I took Bill away." Carey Mulligan looked excited, "I just made an appointment with James to rehearse Hayley's subduing Jeff tomorrow. ”
