290 Lighting Puzzle
After Hayden drove the taxi to the trailer and made sure that there was no problem with the camera fixed in the car, he walked out and made an "OK" gesture to Lance, who waved to Tom, "Go, it's our turn!" ”
Tom took a closer look and found that cameras were placed in the corners of the four doors of the taxi, plus two cameras placed in the car, which made him stunned, "The next scene is going to be a real gun?" ”
Generally speaking, the scene of the vehicle driving on the road will be divided into two parts, the first part is to actually go on the road, including some stunts; The second part is the part of the dialogue in the car, in which the vehicle is placed on the trailer, and the trailer is used to control the direction of the vehicle, so that the actors can perform and avoid traffic accidents caused by distraction.
During the filming of "Murder with a Knife", Lance's use of the lens was very special, in addition to the traditional two-part shooting, he also used the first time to shoot. To put it simply, it is to put the camera on the car, let the vehicle really hit the road, and then use the vehicle as the first perspective to record the scene of the road speeding and stunt chase.
The camera placed outside the door is suitable for the third type of shooting.
Lance glanced at the camera hanging outside the car door and waved his hand, "I've just finished shooting." ”
After the filming of the scene between Mark and Michael just now, taking advantage of Tom's time to make the final adjustments in the RV, Lance took the camera crew to the highway and ran around the route of the next scene three times, recording the shots that needed to be used outside the car, and then a camera will be placed in front of the trailer to make up some shots, which is enough. The camera is still hanging out of the door, mainly because after the in-car drama is over, there will be a scene on the highway - the traffic police will stop the taxi, so in order to avoid the trouble of relocating the camera, it has not been removed.
With that, Lance opened the driver's door. Got behind the wheel and started preparing for the filming of this scene. Tom stood still, let out a long breath, and clenched his fists secretly. It seemed to cheer himself up, and then he opened the door and sat in the back.
Hayden walked directly in front of the car, backed back with the camera, and said, "Close your eyes." Let's adjust the lighting. Tom and Lance both closed their eyes, and then they felt a hot light pass over their shoulders, and the warm halo of light dodged little by little, and after about a minute, Hayden's voice came, "It's okay." ”
When I opened my eyes, a hazy halo of light ran parallel to the position of my eyes, passing through the center, and the light was not dazzling, but had a hazy warm tone. It was as if there were bright spots of light jumping around, and the pale golden halo made all the surrounding scenery faint.
The beam seemed faint, only the thickness of a wrist, and the gold dust around it was like fireflies on a summer night, leaping and dancing around the light source, and then gradually dissipating into the darkness. When you reach the window of the taxi, there is only a trace of light left by the beam, as if the taxi has been separated into an island, floating on the surface of the dark sea.
Tom adjusted his position slightly, making sure that most of the left side of his face was exposed to the light. The right half of the face is gradually hidden in the shadows. It's not correct to say that it's a shadow, but it's still bright, but it's just a visual illusion caused by the strength of the light, as if the whole person is hidden.
Haven't waited for Tom to finish adjusting. Hayden raised his voice again, "Wait, let's adjust the lights again." Then there was a faint light on the roof of the car, and Tom couldn't help but look up, and then he saw that the roof of the car was equipped with an equivalent like a Christmas tree. There were thirty or forty light bulbs of different sizes hanging on it, which startled Tom.
"Doesn't that interfere with the picture?" Tom looked stunned and stammered as he looked at Lance.
Although during the previous five days of shooting, Tom had already learned that this work had very strict lighting requirements, and Lance and the camera crew and the lighting team had been trying to find the most suitable light, and the camera crew and the lighting team were tortured to death by Lance's harsh requirements; But the sight in front of him still stunned Tom directly.
"No, it won't." Lance's answer was very simple, they had tried it many times, the bulbs were very small, and the lens only had to be lowered a little bit to catch it, and it would not make any difference.
These bulbs are connected to a dimmer that can be operated wirelessly in the car, so that the light group only needs to control the switch to adjust the intensity of the light, and operate the light stand on the ceiling as if playing a musical instrument, creating a light that suits each scene. In fact, in addition to the light stands, they have placed small light tubes on the windshield, dashboard area and other places, just to meet Reims's strict requirements for lighting.
Tom then watched in amazement as the light above him changed like neon, and the soft pale yellow mixed with some cyan halos created a beautiful visual effect that completely stunned Tom.
A crisp snap of his fingers came, causing Tom to shift his attention from the lights to Lance, "In the next scene, my rhythm will be a little more chaotic, don't be disrupted by me, stick to that calm and calm rhythm, and when Rwanda is mentioned, your feelings can fluctuate." In fact, these details are more of an actor's self-understanding, and everyone will find a suitable way to interpret the performance, but after the first five days of shooting, Lance understands that Tom needs a guide, at least a guide in the direction, so that he can not deviate from the track, "You have noticed that the lighting will make the expression more delicate, and you can use the light and shade changes of the light to control the rhythm of your performance." ”
This scene is very special, because Max witnessed the murder scene, the whole person loses control, like a wild horse that has escaped, on the one hand, he is afraid of Vincent, but on the other hand, he can't complete self-control, so his whole person seems chaotic, which also makes Max start to unconsciously confront Vincent - out of survival instinct and moral instinct.
For Vincent, he didn't want to make a fuss and try to use a taxi driver all the time to avoid amplifying the impact, so he needed to control Max. But this is obviously not an easy task, under Max's reckless fighting. Vincent's love affair showed its first fluctuations.
In other words, this is Tom's first performance platform in "Killing with a Knife", and it is a mule or a horse to watch this scene.
After explaining, Lance looked at Tom's expression. Smile and say, "Don't worry, you can." Tom nodded nonchalantly, closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, in a state of self-preparation. Lance hit a soft nail. Didn't mind, turned his head and gestured "OK" in Percy's direction.
Immediately afterwards, Albert began to mobilize, and the entire crew was ready to go.
"What are you doing?" Vincent looked up and watched Max's restless movements, the car behind him had already begun to honk, and when he looked up, the red light had turned green, but they were still stuck at the intersection and did not start.
Max looked at the mess of "dinner" in the passenger seat in a panic because of the death just now. His sandwiches had been completely scattered, leaving the carriage dirty. His hands trembled and he tried to clean it up, but he looked around at a loss, as if even the ability to clean it had been lost, "It's a mess here, I have to clean it up." ”
"So? Ms. Macbeth! It's green light, we're still here! Vincent raised his right hand and pointed to the traffic light in front of him, frowning slightly and glaring at Max. Leave the passenger seat alone. ”
Max felt as if his chest was blocked, and he tried to breathe, but there was no way to breathe. He stared blankly out the window, relying only on Ben/Neh to release the handbrake and get the car moving again. The driver who had finished overtaking outside the window yelled at him, and Max looked up. Looking around in a panic, as if he didn't even notice the source of the sound, his slightly frowning brow began to tremble slightly, and the gaze hidden behind the lenses fluctuated with an inexplicable ripple, as if the whole world was being turned upside down.
Vincent sat in the back driver's seat and turned his head to look over. He opened his mouth and moved his jaw, and those eyes radiated a chilling light, making people believe that if he was not sitting in the taxi at this time, the driver of the car was already a dead man.
Max, however, did not react at all, and just turned his head, staring straight ahead with unfocused eyes, restlessly trying to find his target, but he had no idea what he was looking for. "Your business isn't the cleanest anymore." Vincent's voice came from behind, and he glanced up at Max and pouted disdainfully, "Accept the reality and concentrate on driving." ”
Business, the word seems to be meaningful.
Max only gulped his saliva, but his throat was still so dry that he couldn't speak, and the six gods looked at the road ahead without a mastery; His hands were holding the steering wheel tightly, as if trying to draw energy from a hard object, and then he was anxious to confirm the radio or the handbrake or the dashboard, but then he realized that there was nothing to confirm, so he put his hands on the steering wheel again, but his eyes kept checking around, as if everything was wrong. Until Vincent's voice came again, "Fountain Street Seven-Five-Six-Five, Do you know where it is?" ”
"West Hollywood." Max replied reflexively, but his eyes were not aware at all, and when the words were spoken, he realized where he was, and Vincent again gave an address, which meant ......
"You said it would be in a few minutes?"
Vincent's words made Max blurt out as if he had been stung, "I don't know! But the surging fear forced him to find a word to perfunctory the other party, "Seventeen minutes? After saying this, Max retched in frustration, because he actually told the truth, which ...... Raising his gaze, Max glanced at Vincent, but as if touching a flame, he quickly shrank back, "Why?" Vincent was stunned...... This means, are they driving to kill the second person? (To be continued.) )
