In the distance, the mountains are undulating, the blue-gray hue makes the surroundings seem rather deserted, and there is a layer of red clouds on the horizon, as if the sun is rising.

Then, the camera begins to move to the left, at a constant speed, not fast or slow, so that when the highway appears in the shot, the people lying on the road are also revealed. It was a young man, dressed in gray trousers and a short-sleeved shirt, barefoot, with a bicycle upside down in the grass near the cliff.

The camera slowly advances, and as the camera progresses, the young man lying in the middle of the road also begins to move, first turning over, then propping himself up, and then slowly sitting up. The camera had advanced to him at this time, squinting his eyes and seemed to be confused, and then looked left and right, looking at the orange sky, a strange smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then quickly disappeared.

"That's it!" With Kelly's voice, everyone present, including Sean, breathed a sigh of relief.

If you can't finish this shot, it will be dark, and although the photographer and gaffer can shoot the morning scenery with the evening and the feeling of night during the day, I am afraid that it is still a bit difficult to shoot the day in the dark. Besides, it's past the time to get off work, and it's a big deal to shoot overtime.

"Are you sure?" Sean asked uneasily.

"Of course sure," Kelly first looked dissatisfied after being suspicious, but immediately laughed when he saw Sean, "Thank you, Sean, your weird smile just now is very good, and everything that should be shown by this push camera is in it." ”

Sean shook his head, giving up on the idea of bothering with him, but this guy is also using too much of the camera.

Pushing, pulling, shaking, and moving are often used in various TV and film shootings, the so-called pushing the lens is to put the camera on the moving car, and push the subject forward to shoot and pay attention, the general step-by-step close-up is used in this technique, the lens is the audience's perspective, when the subject gradually becomes larger in the frame, the audience's attention is also guided to the focus that the director wants to show.

For example, at the end of many movies, the hero and heroine walk side by side, and then the picture slowly zooms in, and Zuihou fills the whole picture with scenery and environment, which is the standard pull shot.

Panning is the camera does not displace, but only moves up and down or rotates left and right, which is generally used to introduce the scene, or transfer from one subject to another, or to realize the person's supervisor's line of sight, etc., for example, a man points to the left of the camera and says "the volcano has erupted", and then the camera turns to the left to show the erupting volcano.

As for camera shifting, that is, the camera is mounted on a moving rail or equipped with a pulley, and the camera can also be mounted on a lift for sliding shooting, creating a sense of fluidity of the visual effect, generally speaking, if an object in the lens is moving, but the lens does not seem to be moving, then it is a typical lens shift.

In addition to these four shots, there are also heel, rise, and descend shots, but pushing, pulling, panning, and moving are the most basic shooting techniques, although they are relatively simple, they can be combined with montage but can show a variety of different effects, and all excellent directors can use these basic techniques freely.

However, some directors prefer a certain statement, such as Kelly, who likes to push the camera, and the progressive technique can express the sci-fi thriller feeling, or the dark youth of young people very well. He's happy, Sean is very uncomfortable, acting is a job that requires emotion, and now he's in a situation where he can't adjust, so he often brews emotions and disappears before Kelly pushes him over.

This is Weishenme's few shots on the highway are obviously very simple, but it still took an afternoon, and it is best that the sun is about to set to be completed. The only thing that made him slightly fortunate was that Kelly's requirements for the quality of the shots were not too high, so the progress was not bad, and in about a week, nearly a quarter of the shots of the entire movie were completed.

It was a small production, and there weren't many big scenes, so from the beginning, Kelly announced that he would try to complete it within a month. Now it seems that this efficiency is not bad, and it may be a little faster in the future, with Drew's recommendation and contact, the crew has selected Loyola High School west of Los Angeles, located on Venice Boulevard, as the school location, and the future plots will also be produced in this vicinity, and there is no need to run to places like Crest Highway north of Los Angeles.

Speaking of which, Sean has always thought it is strange, to say that there are roads on the ridge around Los Angeles, and Weishenme should choose the Crest Highway so far from Loyola High School? If you want to say that there is less traffic and it is convenient to shoot, there is no obvious advantage over there.

If you can't figure it out, then you don't want to think about it, anyway, the shot has been completed, and there will be no similar ones after that, so why bother? Let's hope Kelly can really finish shooting in a month.

"From here to here, and then go around in circles, zuihou stays here." In the room being set up, Kelly said to the photographer with his hands in a frame, and his field assistants were busy.

At another table in the corner, several actors are talking to each other, in addition to Sean who plays Downey, and Helms, who plays his father? Osborne, Mary who plays the mother? MacDonald, who plays Devy as the little sister? Chase and ...... Katie who plays her sister? Helms.

"Ellie will go to Harvard next semester."

"Mom, I haven't taken the exam yet,"

"Do you really think Dukakis can govern the country?"

"Yes, I confirm."

"When will I be able to have a baby?"

"After 8th grade."

"Donnie, you're going too far."

The five of them read the lines very attentively, although there were long and short, but they didn't have the slightest intention of coping.

"How's it going, are you ready?" Kelly asked, after finishing his work over there.

"No problem, it should be okay, right?" Although Sean spoke first, the latter sentence used an inquiring tone.

"No problem, it's all ready." The eldest, Osborne, immediately spoke.

"Great, let's come and sit down." Kelly said in greeting.

Under the director's direction, the improvised family sat down at the table where the haode scene had been set up, but Kelly seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Helms, you're here." He swiped almost casually.

Before the words came out, Sean knew it was going to be bad, but he didn't have time to stop it, and the two voices rang out together.

"Where?"

"Where?"

A male voice and a female voice, and the male voice is naturally Helms? Osborne, and the one who made the female voice was Katie? Helms.

For a while, everyone's expressions became strange, only Katie still had a blank expression, and shrunk her neck after realizing something: "What...... What's wrong? ”

"Hmm...... I guess Richard should be calling Helms? Mr. Osborne, not you, Katie? Miss Helms. Sean pinched the bridge of his nose and said as slowly as he could, in a kind tone.

"Hmm...... Well? Is it? But...... My name is Helms......" Katie blinked innocently at first, and then unconsciously became a little smug when she said the back, and her voice became quieter and quieter.

The people around first looked weird, and then they didn't dare to laugh, including the director and Osborne, but no one spoke, so Sean had to speak again: "Although you all have the word Helms in your name, Mr. Helmsborn is the first name, and you, Miss Helms, are the last name, understand?" ”

"Hmm...... Yes, I know, but ......" Katie nodded, still looking confused.

Sean couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "So, everyone will only call Mr. Osborne Helms or Mr. Osborne, and call you Katie or Miss Helms, so you should understand." ”

Katie opened her mouth, her face flashed a flush, and she hung her head down very embarrassed: "Ming...... I see. ”

Poof, finally some of the people around couldn't hold back, let out a low laugh, and then the low laughter continued to sound, although the voice was very low, but at this time it was still heard very clearly, the young girl couldn't help but bury her head lower, and her face became even redder.

"Don't mind, Katie, they don't mean it." Sean had no choice but to stretch his neck and cross the 10-year-old Devi who was only 10 years old in the middle. Chase said to Katie with her head bowed, laughing.

"Xiexie you, Sean." Katie smiled gratefully.

This cute girl from Lake Erie, Ohio, is only two years older than Sean, and if you count her birthday in December, she's only a year older now. She has long dark brown hair, hazel eyes, a slightly baby fat face, and a charming smile.

She originally wanted to play basketball, but unfortunately she hurt her eye in a game in high school, so she had to give up this dream and step into the entertainment industry. Since '97, she has played cameo roles in some movies, and in '98 she starred in "Love Time", a TV series aimed at teenagers, although it was broadcast on Warner's WB television network, but also had many fans, and then, she went to the "Death Illusion" crew to play Donnie's sister Elizabeth.

Gentle and polite, a very likable girl, but a little bit very depressing, usually very confused, or in the words of Sean's previous life, a little ...... Naturally stayed.

That's right, now the joke made because of the same word is the most haode example, and before that, Sean had seen it with his own eyes when he was talking to her, and it was clear that the lines were inserted in the backpack in front of him, but he kept looking for them everywhere, and almost turned the resting place upside down, Zuihou or Sean pointed out the location for her.

However, Katie is really cute, and although she has just met, she has a natural feeling of smiling while chatting or blushing with embarrassment due to her confusion. Especially the action of sticking out the tongue, Sean likes it very much, and she has no age problem.
