Chapter 353: The Miracle of the Green Mile
Keanu Reeves didn't know that he was being designed by his good brother at this time.
He just felt that his performance this time was like a divine help.
For some reason, he had the feeling that he was really exorcizing.
Even, when facing the little girl who played the role of a demon-possessed person, he almost had the illusion that something was really squirming under the other party's skin.
This made Keanu Reeves a little frightened, but also excited.
He didn't stop performing because of the surprise in his heart, but came to a better state.
This dangerous and exciting feeling even reminded him of the feeling he had when riding a heavy motorcycle.
He followed the plan in the script, smashing the window and asking someone to bring a mirror.
At the same time, he also told his little apprentice and driver Chas, who was waiting downstairs, through the window, to move the car out of the way.
However, because of the different scenes, Chas, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, did not appear in this scene.
- Chas's footage, which needs to wait until the corresponding scenes are filmed, and then composited through editing.
Now, after Keanu Reeves said hello at the window according to the script, he began to use the big mirror to exorcise -
On the one hand, he suppressed the little girl who was possessed by the demon, and on the other hand, he had the mirror hung parallel to the bed where the little girl was......
"CUT!
When preparations for the exorcism were almost underway, Charlotte called a timeout.
There is actually no way to pause filming in this place, because later, you need to shoot the shot of the demon being ingested into the mirror by Konstantin's spell.
This not only involves special effects, but also faces a trouble-
I need to shoot the image in the mirror, so how can I hide the camera that is only facing the mirror?
When filming a movie, there are too many cases where the camera is accidentally exposed because of facing the mirror.
So, Charlotte simply changed her mind.
In the beginning, a large mirror was used, but when the close-up of the demon in the mirror was taken, the mirror was replaced with a larger screen.
In the screen, there will be a special reflex shot in advance, that is, the scene of the demon appearing.
In this way, there will naturally be no reflection of the camera in the mirror.
As for the demon who was ingested into the mirror, it was naturally made a cameo by Rui Fan.
- For Charlotte, there was no need to make a special effect for ghosts.
However, because of this, there must be a pause here for several scenes of the exorcism.
The footage of the demon being ingested into the mirror will be handled separately, and the next scene to be filmed is indeed a more interesting scene prepared by Charlotte-
In the original Hell Detective, when the demon was ingested in the mirror, it was immediately trapped in the mirror.
Next, Konstantin and the others only need to throw the mirror out of the window and smash it.
However, in Charlotte's opinion, such a scene is less expressive.
To put it simply, it's not enough!
Therefore, Charrath specially designed a shot of the image reversal in the mirror here.
It's like the scene in "Inception" when the dream builder Adrina first created the dream, turning the street in the mirror image into a real street.
Or in "Doctor Strange", the mirror world that is repeatedly reversed.
Here, of course, Charlotte doesn't intend to use overly complicated lenses.
After all, now this demon is essentially just a small miscellaneous soldier, and it is a little strange to use too magical spells against it, but it can't be used later.
Charlotte just designed a shot where the scene and reality blend and reverse-
After the demon was ingested into the mirror, Konstantin also turned around.
The next moment, his reflection in the mirror became his real body.
He punched the demon in the face, sending it backwards and literally into the mirror.
And Konstantin took advantage of the reaction force of this punch to retreat from the mirror world and return to the real world again.
Then he taunted the trapped demon,
"Say hello to your boss!"
- That's Charlotte Design Lens.
At the moment, this kind of lens is still quite novel and impactful.
However, while it may only be a ten-second shot at the time of the screening, there is no shortage of trouble to achieve when shooting.
Just to express the effect of this mirror inversion, Charlotte and Addison Young repeated more than a dozen times before determining the final effect.
And to achieve Konstantin's fight against demons, special effects photography is required.
Of course, in reality, Charlotte was using his spell effects -
He directly turned Ruifan into a demon and possessed the little man stuntman who was prepared in advance.
In this way, in the camera footage that he specially processed, a real demon appeared.
However, the rest of the crew's unsuspecting crew, as well as the protagonist Keanu Reeves, didn't know this.
In Reeves' view, what he was doing at this time was actually a green screen shoot.
The stuntman who plays the demon is dressed like a Smurfs and is about to receive his "sanctioned punch".
"But didn't you say green screen shooting? Why is he wearing blue now?"
Before the shooting, Keanu was still a little curious.
"Green and blue are actually okay. ”
Charlotte explains,
"Green and blue are used as background colors, which are more convenient for technicians to erase the captured content and then put it into the computer special effects. ”
"But in that case, why are they all called green screens and not blue screens?"
"Because there is a small drawback to the blue screen. ”
Charlotte shrugged,
"In Hollywood, many actors have blue-green eyes, which are generally more blue, and if you use a blue screen, when replacing special effects in post-production, you may accidentally erase the actor's eyes at the same time. ”
“...... All right. ”
- This reason is indeed reasonable enough, Keanu is completely speechless.
He hadn't experienced green screen photography before, but he never knew that there was such a reason for it.
"But wouldn't there be such a problem with a green screen?"
Hearing this, Charlize, who was watching on the side, was also a little curious.
"Green screens really don't have that kind of problem. ”
Charlotte said with a smile,
"For the color that the human body exhibits, red comes from ferrous ions, while green comes from copper. But that kind of copper is toxic to the human body. ”
"So there won't be anyone with pure green hair or pure green eyes?"
"Yes. ”
Charlotte nodded,
"What we often call green eyes, or blonde eyes, is more of a blue-green color, more blue-leaning. This color is actually distinguished from pure green. As for the hair—"
"It's true that people with real green hair don't. ”
Charlize understood what Charlotte meant,
"The green hair you see now is dyed. ”
"Yes. ”
Charlotte didn't say anything more, but muttered something in her heart-
"What kind of mentality do those who like to dye their hair the same color as the green grassland?"
Of course, Charlotte also knows that there is no additional meaning to eco-friendly colors in the American concept.
- So in their TV series, there are a lot of stories about the permutations and combinations of environmentally friendly colors......
Keanu Reeves on the side didn't know what Charlotte was muttering in his heart, he just followed Charlotte's words and thought of a question-
"If we have this kind of problem, why did we use a blue screen for this shoot?"
"Well...... this"
Charlotte shook her head with a wry smile......
