Chapter 206: Filming Begins
After Fan Zhe read the report email sent by Ye Jiayi, he was happy for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he still had to work.
He is not in Shenghai now, but in a village in Sioux Province.
With him is the entire crew of "Hell Apartment".
When the results of "Amber Sword" are huge and the list is slaughtered on the Internet, this first step film, which is also adapted and invested and produced by 'Dimension Entertainment', is also time to start filming.
After the crew was set up, they quickly found a filming location.
And the first scene is also about the beginning of "Hell Apartment", which is a story that takes place in a very remote village.
According to the entire schedule, there are still a lot of scenes involved in "Hell Apartment".
The original work of this work is a bit biased towards a scene drama. In one scene, some story happens, and after it ends, it moves on to the next scene.
In this way, the difficulty of shooting will be reduced.
But from a movie point of view, the single scene story of "Hell Apartment" is too thin to support the duration of a movie.
Therefore, when Fan Zhe communicated with the screenwriters, the way he adopted was to put several different stories from the original book into one movie.
After watching the first part of the original book, Fan Zhe and the others decided to use the first six volumes.
There are about six stories here, and there is also a so-called 'Demon King-level blood word'.
Generally speaking, such a combination of multiple stories is not very suitable for a movie, but "Hell Apartment" still has its peculiarities.
The main reason is that although the story of "Hell Apartment" is different every time, there is such a thing as "Apartment" as a connection. And in the apartment itself, there are also things that happen, so that all the stories are continuous and can be connected.
Still, it's a bit out of place if the story seems too scattered.
As a result, Fan Zhe made certain deletions and changes to the first six volumes of the original work when writing the script.
For example, increase or decrease the weight of one of these stories, or even delete the 'don't swear' story entirely.
The shooting of related storyboards has already been designed, and Fan Zhe will start the filming of the movie according to his own ideas.
……
The first day of filming was relatively smooth.
The story of the first act tells the story of the protagonist and others who accept the bloody quest of 'Hell Apartment' and come to Youshui Village, and the mission content is very simple - live here for a month.
So, the protagonist Li Yin, along with several other people who accepted the mission, came to Youshui Village and was tested here.
On the first day of filming, the plot advanced quickly.
The filming of this movie is not very difficult, at least in this part of Youshui Village, there will not be many places that require actors' emotional outbursts, mainly to highlight the weirdness and horror of this mountain village.
In terms of the construction of the shooting scene, the difficulty is also very low, and it is basically just to shoot in the appearance of the mountain village itself.
As for the supernatural scenes that will appear, they are basically achieved by post-compositing with special effects technology.
The same is true of the terrifying white-clothed female ghost who will kill many people in this village.
This also puts forward certain requirements for the actors, and many performances without physical objects must be good enough.
As a novice director who was born as an artist, Fan Zhe has nothing to say about the design and conception of the picture; However, the director's job is not only to design the picture, their most important job is to really realize the designed picture.
How to achieve this is the biggest problem.
There's so much work to be done.
For the training of the actors in performance, the control of the shooting scene, and the grasp of the camera...... These things were all things that Fan Zhe had only learned before, and lacked experience.
However, he also has his own strengths.
He doesn't need to think about whether he can achieve the effect he wants after shooting a picture - he has dimensions, only what he can't imagine, and nothing he can't do.
At the same time, there were many, many pictures that he had already counted in his mind. And not only in my mind, but also in the sub-shots, I drew it in earnest.
Naturally, there is no need to say much about his painting skills, and what is even more rare is that there is a whole art team behind him to help.
After getting the storyboard script, several photographers in the crew laughed and joked: "You don't have to think about how to design the lens, just shoot according to the pictures given by the boss!" ”
In terms of the work that other traditional directors need to do, Fan Zhe still has some shortcomings, he is not rich in experience, and he has no practical operation, which is a problem.
However, he had two pretty good assistants on his side to help.
Zhao Lin and Wang Zhicheng are both conscientious, experienced, mature and sophisticated people, and they have no ambitions. In the actual shooting, Fan Zhe relied on and trusted these two a lot. They were really helpful and helpful.
For example, Wang Zhicheng is good at the overall planning of the entire crew, and under his arrangement, the photography team, lighting team, and audio team perform their duties and are well organized; The other Zhao Lin is better at adjusting the state of the actors, and he will often communicate with the actors to express the director's shooting intentions, so that the actors' performance can better meet the needs of Fan Zhe, the director.
Fan Zhe is extremely glad that he was not blindly arrogant before and brought these two 'old treasures'. Otherwise, he would have to solve the things that often appeared in the crew and were unexpected, which would be very troublesome.
The first day of filming went relatively smoothly. In the plan, the shooting content arranged for this day was basically completed according to the plan.
This is a good thing, Fan Zhe was prepared, and there will be some situations that will cause the filming to be delayed.
At the beginning, the production team gave a plan that the whole team would stay in the mountain village for about three weeks to complete all the filming tasks for this scene. Now it seems that if every day after that can be so smooth, it is estimated that it will take less than three weeks, and it will be done in more than two weeks.
At that time, the crew will transfer scenes and return to Shenghai to complete the filming of two scenes in an apartment building, a mansion and a shopping mall rented by Shenghai.
The content of this part should not be very long, and it will be over in about ten days.
After that, there's a town, a suburb, and an island, and three more scenes are completed. The islands and small towns may be a little longer, and the story of the suburban hide-and-seek should not be over in a long time.
The whole time, the planned time of filming was about two months.
Many post-production special effects are already being drawn, and it will not take more than a month to load them into the 'dimensional' system and compose the shots.
Added up, "Hell Apartment" is estimated to take a total of three months to complete the production.
If you don't do it, it will be released within the end of this year.
It is Fan Zhe's wish to finish his first film smoothly.
It seems that it is not far from realizing this wish.
