Chapter 11 Shooting
"Stop! Ning Lin, I need your expression to be a little more frightened! And ......" Chen Feng held the DV camera, looked at Ning Lin, and said, "You are now feeling that kind of fear and helplessness in your heart, a witch that you have been looking for seems to be staring at you by your side." Think about it. ”
Although it is dark now, there are no requirements for the facial expressions of the actors, but Chen Feng, who strives for perfection, still requires that everything that should be performed must be performed like during the day, even if the audience can't see it.
Yes, they are currently working on the film "Blair the Witch", which is already the fourth day of filming, and the filming process of the film is almost halfway through.
When a movie is filmed, it is not shot from beginning to end in the order of the script, but is shot in the order of the scenes, and the scenes of the same scene are shot first, and then the next scene is replaced. This saves time, money and effort, if you shoot in the order of the script, one moment in S province and one moment in x province, wouldn't it be flying around? After shooting the same scene, the sequence of shots is left to post-editing.
Of course, with the help of the script, the actors also know what they are playing and know the causes and consequences of the plot.
Chen Feng and the others are now filming scenes of sleeping in the barren forest, and when these are finished, they will have to go to other places to find scenes, after all, some scenes are not in the barren forest. For example, the scene in Lyle Town and the scene in the abandoned house, these places Chen Feng has not found for the time being.
In order to save costs, it is surprising that the costumes of the three protagonists are not provided, whether it is Ning Lin, Lin Yuhong and Ah Feng, they are all wearing their ordinary clothes, like now, even if their travel bags are brought by themselves. For this reason, Ning Lin called him 'stingy' every day. However, Chen Feng didn't mind, anyway, Ning Lin had already been addicted to calling him 'stingy ghost', and if he said a few words of 'stingy ghost', he could save a lot of money, and Chen Feng couldn't wait for it.
The story of the scene they are shooting now in the movie is that after nightfall, they hear more strange sounds, including the voice of a child and the sound of an unknown object rubbing on both sides of the tent. They fled from their tents and hid in panic in the dark woods until dawn. In this process, it was Heather who was filming with the DV all the time.
"What I need is an eerie, scary atmosphere, ok? You're all too focused on superficial performances, and the way it shouldn't be! ”
Chen Feng clapped his hands, looked at Ning Lin and the three of them, and commanded the latest guidance: "What we need is a weird and terrifying feeling!" So making people feel weird is the most important thing, isn't it? From now on, no panic, no madness, they're not the point, we're going to be weird! Think about it, what kind of performance is weird? ”
Lin Yuhong nodded as if he didn't understand, and said seriously: "Well, I want to think about it." ”
This is the obstacle in the filming, although Lin Yuhong has participated in performances, and Ning Lin and A Feng have also performed on stage since childhood, but they are still very immature and inexperienced, and young performances often lead to half the effort; And more problems are in Chen Feng himself.
After all, it was his first time to shoot a movie, the same immature and young, the same inexperienced; Fortunately, this is just a pseudo-documentary type DV movie, the requirements for photography are very low, the lens position, conversion, etc. can be amateurish, and even swaying to make you dizzy, because the heroine's photography level is originally limited to an ordinary person, so in terms of photography, Chen Feng did not encounter any problems.
The problem is that the storyboard script he designed before is actually filmed now, and there are many things that he didn't think of at the beginning, and many things that he took for granted, which requires coming up with a solution; There is another problem, that is, inspiration comes suddenly, sometimes because of the inspiration of Rachel's performance, Chen Feng will tirelessly revise the storyboard script, and after filming, he will return to reshoot, which also slows down the process.
Just like the current situation, Chen Feng thought it was the horror of a horror movie at first, but it took half a day and he was not satisfied with how he filmed it; Now it's suddenly shooting in a weird direction again.
"I think I'm starting to get a little bit of it." Lin Yuhong thought for a while and said to Chen Feng, "Let's try it once." ”
"Okay, everyone!" Chen Feng took the DV, stepped back to the side to adjust the lens, and then read: "3, 2, 1, start." As soon as the voice fell, he pressed the DV shooting button.
"Oh my God, oh my God." As soon as Chen Feng said this, Lin Yuhong, who was standing behind him, whispered in horror. The recording of the film is all recorded by the live DV itself, which is also to cooperate with the authenticity of the pseudo-documentary and save costs.
The filming started very smoothly, and Chen Feng's feeling was finally captured. The next shooting is relatively simpler than the town's shooting, because the camera is hung on the three actors, the camera shakes a lot, the acting requirements are not so high, and more attention is paid to the dialogue, and those words and tones must match the identity and emotions of the lost students.
I stayed here for another two days, and I basically finished most of the shooting. Everyone was in a very optimistic mood, and the only thing that was a little tired was the guys who were assigned to work as artists when they were okay - the mysterious humanoid decorations that needed to be hung on the branches, the stones piled up around the tent, etc., and finally even two bodyguards joined in to help with the set, which made the two of them quite depressed. Afterwards. Chen Feng decided to change places. The surrounding scenery has already been filmed, of course. For safety reasons, they stayed on the coast all the time. Didn't go deeper into the woods, don't worry about getting lost or something, the only thing that is a little unaccustomed is that now I really have to set up a tent in the wild to sleep, which is very unaccustomed to Ning Lin, she is used to being a princess, but now she has become a decorator It is really difficult for her.
"Do you think there really are witches in this world?" After the shooting, several people sat together and chatted.
"Maybe." Chen Feng whispered, if it was before, Chen Feng was definitely an atheist, but since he was reborn in this plane, Chen Feng began to have a trace of awe of the gods.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded: "To be honest, I think last night, there seemed to be some sound around. ”
The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at the person who spoke, Ah Feng, Bella was startled by their neat eyes, couldn't help but shrink her neck, and said with a smile after a while: "Okay, maybe I heard it wrong!" ”
"Damn, Ah Feng, how can you open this completely." Ning Lin pretended to be angry and slapped him a few times, so that Ah Feng had to hide and beg for mercy: "I was wrong, I apologize, I shouldn't be joking." ”
The next day, they set out to look for any abandoned houses on this desert island, and at the end of the story Mike and Heather they hear Josh's cries for help and follow the direction of the cries to find an abandoned house in the woods. There appears to be a fight after Mike runs into the basement, followed by silence and the sound of cameras crashing to the ground. Heather then enters the basement as well, and sees Mike curled up in a corner facing the wall. In the end, Heather dropped the camera, and there was endless silence after her screaming.
However, the result was not ideal, Chen Feng searched for a day and did not find an abandoned house on this desert island, and now he began to think about whether he had to change the scene now. Next, Lin Yuhong and Ah Feng also came back one after another, and they also did not find any abandoned houses. However, when the sun was about to set, Ning Lin still did not come back.
"Damn, won't you get lost." Chen Feng looked at the darkening sky and said worriedly and anxiously.
"Let's go, go and find it, for an hour, whether I find it or not, I will come to this gathering." Chen Feng finally decided to go out and look for it.
On the other side, Ning Lin was walking around in the woods, looking for a way out, yes, she was lost.
"Damn, the scenery is pretty much the same, it's time to go over there, it's too bad, it's getting dark." Ning Lin looked around anxiously.
"Hey, what's that?" Ning Lin saw a wooden house in front of her, and immediately ran over in surprise.
Ning Lin didn't notice that there was a dark shadow behind her who kept staring at Ning Lin.
"Ahh A female scream rang out in the woods.
Chen Feng had been looking in the woods for more than half an hour, but he still hadn't found Ning Lin. At this moment, Chen Feng found a line of footprints. "It seems to be Ning Lin's footprints, she must have been here." Then, Chen Feng searched around again, and finally judged the direction in which Ning Lin was going and chased after him.
"Big brother, what should I do with this chick?" A man who looked like a gorilla licked his lips with a lewd smile.
"Don't mess around, I didn't expect there to be a few people on this desert island." A man of about thirty years old with a grim face said.
"Big brother, I don't understand, why don't you do those people, so that you don't have to worry about someone finding out about us." The gorilla asked unwillingly.
"You idiot, kill them, you're not afraid of being targeted by the police! Don't forget the purpose of our visit to Province X. The cold man ignored the gorilla's face and immediately scolded him.
"Yes." The gorilla man seemed to be very afraid of the cold man, and when he saw the cold man getting angry, he quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
Ning Lin was scared now, she didn't know what would happen if she fell into the hands of this group of people, she felt like a helpless lamb, surrounded by wild beasts ready to bite her at any time, and she was the prey in the eyes of others. The first thing she thought about now was if Chen Feng knew that he had been arrested by the bad guys, would she be in a hurry.
Chen Feng followed the footprints to search, and finally came to the place where Ning Lin was captured, and the footprints disappeared here, but Chen Feng had already seen the wooden house. Could it be that there are other people on this desert island? Chen Feng cautiously approached the wooden house. Along the cracks in the wooden house, Chen Feng saw two men, a strong man like a gorilla, a man about thirty years old with a cold face, and Ning Lin was tied to the ground.
Damn, Chen Feng didn't immediately step forward to save Ning Lin, because he knew that he was definitely not the opponent of those two people. "Number One, is there a way to make me stronger in an instant?" Chen Feng can only pin his hopes on the entertainment superstar system now.
"Yes, spending 100 points can give you the same kung fu as Bruce Lee, but only for half an hour." Number One replied.
