It is not easy for an idea to enter the production stage from being selected, after planning, to preparation, but this is only the beginning of the "battle", there are still many problems in the production stage, the production process of the film is the process of organizing production, not only to be loyal to inspiration, but also to pay attention to management. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info [full text reading]

Throughout the shoot, Duke repeatedly emphasized safety on set.

A crew, as small as a dozen people, as large as hundreds of people, such as "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", and even often use thousands of people to participate in filming, when they need to appear in the same place at the same time because of the filming, if they do not prepare and prevent in advance, once the scene order is chaotic, it may lead to accidents.

In addition to directing, Duke is also a producer, and as an investor and producer of the film, he knows very well that once a safety accident occurs, it will mean the loss of his own large profits.

Therefore, in addition to the need to do a good job of safety management in advance, a safety responsibility agreement was also signed with the main person in charge to implement the details to the specific responsible person, and the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" crew also established a corresponding safety team to ensure the safety of the set.

The safety issues on the set include not only personal safety, fire prevention, electricity, transportation, finance, equipment safety, etc., but also other unexpected situations, such as sudden weather changes.

The most typical is the accident caused by props, Duke still remembers a crew tragedy in the mid-nineties, Bruce? Lee's son Brandon? Li, in 1993, during the filming of the movie "Crow", died in an accident, and the tragedy caused by the tragedy turned out to be that the prop gun was loaded with real bullets, and no one had checked the gun before it was loaded.

A series of negligence culminated in this tragedy, and when he died, Brandon ? Lee was only 28 years old.

Such a security problem is undoubtedly fatal for a crew.

The crew also purchased insurance in a timely manner according to the needs of the project, such as the more common insurance in Hollywood, accident liability insurance; Group Accident Life Insurance; Building Damage Insurance; vehicle insurance; equipment insurance; Props, sets, costumes, etc...... These are well prepared.

As a crew with a lot of explosions, action, fights, and flying scenes, some money can be saved, and some money can't.

The filming of the crew in Iceland went well, and after ten days all the footage here was over, and part of the crew was led by Anna? Prinz led the way back to Los Angeles. Back in the Hughes Aircraft Factory studio, Duke led most of the flight to Ireland to continue filming on location.

Film and copies taken throughout the journey. It is kept by a special person appointed by Duke to prevent loss or leakage.

There is no room for carelessness in this regard, because it is likely that the results of the crew will be in vain due to some small omissions.

Although the rapid development of digital technology has greatly reduced the cost of filming, it is also followed by the problem of how to store and keep a large number of shooting materials, and some crews in Hollywood do not pay attention to it. On the road, I dropped the hard disk containing the material in the example of the loss.

For example, after MGM digitized "The Wizard of Oz", they threw away the original copy, but when they wanted to remake it into 3D, they found that the digital file was lost by 20%, but fortunately, UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) saved the original negative, so they were able to re-scan and make 3D, which is considered a thrill.

Think about it, if a project was shot on film, and the negative was not retained or kept, what would happen to the consequences?

Except for film. Duke's crew also had digital footage filmed, and the digital footage had to be converted between various formats, and in order to prevent accidents during the conversion process, the footage also needed to be backed up.

In addition, it is also necessary to check regularly, some crews store digital materials in SSDs and ignore them, and it is likely that when they open it again, they will find that the files are missing.

It's easy to keep records, back up in a timely manner, keep them safe, and check them, but you also have to remember to follow the process during your work, and you must not be afraid of trouble.

Arrival in Ireland. Duke only had one afternoon of rest for the crew, and the filming would begin early the next morning, and even if the film was his investment, the project could not be too delayed.

This is also a question that any director must pay attention to.

Of course. Unless you are the king of sunglasses, someone throws money at you and is willing to wait for you to reach the end of the day, or you have relatives who are real tyrants who are willing to invest in you and make movies regardless of returns, otherwise the project progress is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

It's not that the director is fooling things up, but that the work must be completed within a controllable range - because once the progress gets out of control, it will cause a chain reaction: maybe the money is not enough. Maybe the seasons have changed, maybe you've missed a good schedule...... It's not just time that's delayed, it's real money.

The best way to manage the process is to plan the shooting in the early stage, and with Duke's past experience, the shooting schedule is about 2 to 4 pages of script per day, so that you can have a basic idea of the approximate time.

In Hollywood, script breakdown is the basic tool for determining the shooting cycle, which can analyze the various elements in the script and then transform them into shooting plans and budgets, which can not only effectively allow the director to discover the ambitious, expensive and potentially difficult elements of the script relatively early in the whole process, and be alert, but also easy to sort out and find the parts that can be concentrated and improve efficiency.

When conducting a site survey before filming, directors and producers should also remember to invite the heads of various departments such as photography, lighting, and art direction to the scene and listen to their opinions and suggestions, after all, this is an expert in various fields, and a director has to rely on these experts and their teams to realize the picture that a director has come up with.

Also, the plan can't keep up with the changes, so the plan should be as precise as possible and leave room for it, which is not only a technical work, but also an artistic work: technology comes from professionalism, and art comes from experience.

Although not every project is exactly the same, the last time you encountered a problem, the next time you have a valuable experience.

Starting from the filming in Ireland, Harrison, the biggest star in the entire crew? Ford joined the filming, and he was also the highest-paid actor in the crew, paying a full $20 million to invite him.

Although Duke decided to let Han? Solo dies to avoid Harrison? Ford appeared in the sequel again, but during the filming, the atmosphere between the two was quite harmonious, and now he is no longer the young director he used to be, even if it is Harrison? Ford, a character who has been famous for a long time, also has to show enough respect on the set.

As for Harrison? What would Ford do in private, Duke didn't care at all, the two were just a simple business cooperation, and Harrison? Ford also has enough leverage to get paid $20 million.

He appeared in the crew, not only for filming, but also for the promotion of the film.

In Harrison? Soon after Ford arrived in Dublin, the crew of "Star Wars: Far from Awakening" broke a big news, which instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the media and fans.

Warner's TMZ website was the first to disclose a story about Harrison? Ford's scoop.

"On June 22, local time in Ireland, 71-year-old veteran actor Harrison? Ford injured his ankle while filming Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and his condition is not optimistic and there is a possibility of rupture, and he has been taken to the hospital for treatment. During his recuperation, filming will continue. ”

"It is reported that Harrison? While filming at the Black Forest Film Studio in Dublin, Ford was hit by an accidentally falling Y-pressure door, and his ankle was seriously injured and even in danger of breaking. Interestingly, this door belongs to the 'Millennium Falcon' in the film, which seems to indicate that Harrison? Ford's role as Han in Star Wars: The Force Awakens? Solo will pilot the ship again. ”

"Duke? Rosenberg's spokesperson Tina? Has Faye confirmed Harrison? The fact that Ford suffered an ankle injury, but the exact details of the extent of the injury and how soon it will be back on set are unknown. But he said that in Harrison? During Ford's treatment, the movie will also go ahead as planned......"

Naturally, the main publicity work of the crew shifted to the actors.

Harrison? Ford's injury sparked the attention of fans, but this deliberately manufactured news could not last long, and just eight days later, Harrison? Ford reappeared on the set of the crew for filming.

As a result, Warner's media is another round of hype.

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens continues filming this week on the Black Forest set in Dublin, Ireland. Previously, the crew was criticized for starring Harrison? Ford's injury and a brief hiatus, Harrison? Ford accidentally sprained his ankle while filming on June 22, the injury was not minor, and because of his advanced age, the doctor recommended that he stay in bed for a week......

"After healing, Harrison? Ford was also non-stop, and immediately threw himself into the intense shooting of the film. ”

At the same time, Duke also recorded a video on the spot, which was released by Lucasfilm and Warner Bros., in which he said that the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" crew will provide Star Wars fans with the opportunity to visit the set of Dublin and Los Angeles, where the lucky ones will not only meet the film's strong cast, but also play a role in the movie.

The fan-to-fan contest is linked to a charity called Power for Change, a benefit that requires a donation to the UNICEF Innovation Lab, an organization dedicated to helping children around the world.

In addition, those who did not win the opportunity to leave the country can also receive a Star Wars 7-themed T-shirt and poster.

As time went on, the propaganda of Star Wars became more and more violent, except for Duke and Harrison? In addition to the biggest names in Ford's two crews, others also make frequent media appearances. (To be continued.) )
