The importance of the director of photography to a crew shooting is undoubted, Murphy couldn't get through to Philip Raschel's phone number, so he simply contacted his agent, but the agent couldn't contact Filip Raschel, and in desperation, Murphy had to send someone to drive to Filip Raschel's home to have a look.

Although his director of photography likes to pick up girls and take drugs, since the two have worked together, Murphy has rarely seen him late, and it is even more unique that the whole crew is waiting for him alone.

Henry Cavill and Margot Robbie, who were already ready on the set, frequently looked at Murphy, and Murphy simply asked them to go back and rest and wait.

After another twenty minutes of waiting, just as Murphy was getting more and more anxious, Gal Gadot hurriedly walked over from the office area of the set.

"Something happened to Fili." She walked up to Murphy and said in a low voice, "On the way here this morning, Filly's car was hit. ”

"What?" Murphy immediately asked, "How is he?" ”

Gal Gadot shook his head, "Fili himself is fine, but he ...... in his car"

With that, she moved closer to Murphy and lowered her voice, "There's a big one in his car. Hemp and another illegal drug, which had been discovered by the police who dealt with the accident, had been taken to the police station, and Filip's agent had rushed over after informing me. ”

Murphy took off his baseball cap and threw it on top of his director's monitor, "Holy! ”

After complaining, he added, "You go and call Robert and ask him to come over and see if he can help and get Fili out as soon as possible." ”

Gal Gadot nodded, "I'll go." ”

Sitting in the director's chair, Murphy cursed a swear word, and a feeling of fire swelled up.

No one could have predicted such an unforeseen situation.

Without Filip Raschel, it would be okay to let his deputy be in charge of the camera crew for the time being, but before filming "The Wolf of Wall Street", Filip Raschel's deputy was poached by other crews, and the rest are camera assistants who have some ability and experience that are impossible to take charge of the camera crew.

Now the scenes, lighting, actors, etc. are ready, and the whole crew is waiting for him, the director, to give the order to shoot.

Murphy hooked his hand behind him, and an assistant director walked over.

"Let the crew rest for half an hour for the time being." He commanded.

After saying that, he stood up and came to the camera crew, gathered all the camera assistants, and prepared to take control of the camera crew by himself first.

Most directors have a certain in-depth study of photography, which is a necessary skill, and many lens directors will shoot in person, and Murphy is no exception.

Although it is unrealistic for a director of photography to shoot the entire film as a director of photography, it is not a problem for Murphy to command the camera crew for a short time.

Murphy tried to say as lightly as possible, "Filip has had a little accident at the moment, and I will be the director of photography for the time being." ”

The camera assistants nodded their heads, unable to say anything but to cooperate.

However, in recent years, Murphy has been less and less involved in actual filming, and filming has been more in charge of Filly Raschel, and now he must make adjustments as soon as possible to adapt to the changes in work and role.

Fortunately, Philip Raschel had already done the necessary debugging and testing of all the digital cameras, and Murphy only needed to see the results of the shooting and make appropriate adjustments according to his own requirements.

In Murphy's crew, a film project is about to be filmed, and the camera test can no longer be carried out without the director of photography applying for special needs, and he has already asked Filip Raschel to prepare directly in the preliminary preparations, reserving time and funds for this link.

But even if the DP knows everything about the equipment and the results used, the crew still has to test the cameras, and every project needs to be tested from scratch and the machines are tested.

That's because the crew's camera testing isn't just about testing a machine, it's about testing three important elements of the project: the presentation tools for the work, the subjects for the work, and the tonal color choices for the work.

The final picture of the film is the result of the interaction of these three elements, and the quality of the camera is only a small link, regardless of the connection with other elements.

In the past, when film was used, some films would be tested with different lenses, different filters, and a variety of different shooting processes to see how they would eventually perform in the image of actors, hairstyles, and outfits, and sometimes even how they would look when they were presented in a scene.

The DP would then work with the colorist to study the sequences, evaluate the different lenses and filters, and the processing to find out which combination was closer to the effect the project needed, which was a process in the film era, but the test didn't matter just because the transition from film to digital was not important.

On the contrary, testing has become more important, because in the digital age, different elements are more readily available, so it is more necessary to pass the test to select the best combination.

Since Philip Raschel had previously tested the digital camera systematically, Murphy only followed the process of shooting on the test site before starting the shooting, and conducted the field test.

By testing the results, Murphy made appropriate adjustments to several of the cameras used for filming, and then had the crew notified that they were ready to start shooting.

After the extras were in place and Margot Robbie and Henry Cavill finally familiarized themselves with the moves, the reporter put the sign in his hand in front of the lens of the main camera controlled by Murphy and said loudly, "City of Mayhem, Act One, Act One, start now!" ”

The lighting on the set is a little dim, an incandescent lamp shines on Margot Robbie's face, and she plays the heroine who looks beautiful and resolute, as if she has a sacred and unshakable faith in her heart.

Several men in black, who looked very strong, lay on the ground, and did not move.

In the shadows created by the set, a man in black leans against a corner where his face is invisible.

"It's a good thing to insist on justice," the man in black said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "but in this chaotic and sinful city, if you want to uphold justice, you must first protect yourself. ”

Margot Robbie turned to look at Henry Cavill in the shadows, her voice as determined as her expression, "I know what to do!" Crimes should be punished by legal means, not by violence like you! ”

Henry Cavill, dressed in black, suddenly stood up, "Only by making these people feel fear can the city be saved and the law enforced!" Now this ......"

“cut！” Murphy shouted to stop shooting, got out of behind the camera, and said, "Five minutes pause!" ”

Then, he said to Henry Cavill and Margot Robbie, "It's not about you, it's my problem." ”

After saying that, Murphy beckoned a camera assistant, pointed to the main camera he had just used, and said, "Adjust the first camera to the left twenty degrees, I need to shoot Henry, there are more shadows." ”

Next, he returned to the director's position, carefully looked at the footage captured by cameras 2 and 3, and made appropriate adjustments.

It is not an easy job for a director and a director of photography to shoulder on their shoulders, especially since it is the first time for Murphy to be a direct director of photography.

The job of a cinematographer is not as easy to do as it seems.

A brilliant cinematographer, but also a technician, a brick wall that usually looks ordinary, through the skillful hands of the cameraman, plus shadows, mist, lighting and other visual expressions, and then turns into the mysterious area in the film that makes the audience feel full of fear.

Achieving this requires a lot of expertise from photographers, lenses, filters, and labs.

Because every imaginary possibility has to be explored and studied countless times in the process of experimentation, whenever they are in the middle of these tools, a good photographer will sprout from the bottom of their hearts to shoot and create, and they will create a lot of background atmosphere and emotional power for the film.

For example, to make the heroine of the movie look more noble and charming, and to bring out the subtle changes in the psychology of the characters through the change of color, such as what Murphy just requested, when shooting some complex scenes, the selection of shooting angles is very important, and then the precise cooperation of the director and the photographer is required, and how to make their lenses in the best shooting position is also the most common problem for photographers.

Adjust the camera, and the next shot was paused again due to problems with Henry Cavill and Margot Robbie, and the shot was not approved until the fifth shot, when Murphy returned to the director's monitor to look at the footage from the other two cameras.

The filming that follows is basically a scene between Henry Cavill and Margot Robbie, and the two of them play the male lead Chris Dane and the female lead Jay Rachel, who have a strange personal relationship, and Murphy needs the two to be able to resonate with each other when performing.

The shoot didn't go well, at the end of the day, only a third of the shot was completed, but an extremely important position was missing, and Murphy didn't have a good solution, after the day's shooting, he immediately called Philip Raschel and Robert respectively to find out about the situation, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Filly Raschel's car was not filled with drugs like methamphetamine and cocaine, just marijuana and other less serious prescription drugs, which would not cause him too much trouble, but it was necessary to cooperate with the police to spend 48 hours in the police station, which was the least treatment.

This meant that Murphy would have to be the DP for a while longer. (To be continued.) )
