Chapter 22 Excellence
March 6th, Sunday, the 23rd day of the first lunar month.
It is advisable to open business and start engagement, and avoid decorating and getting married and entering the house.
On the campus of the Central Academy of Drama, the crew of "Youth" organized a start-up ceremony in the empty classroom of the teaching building.
This is the tradition of every crew.
Of course, it is not good to do this kind of feudal superstition in schools.
Li Jinyan and others just used red cloth to cover the camera, and did not place any Guan Gong statue or pig heads or other things, nor did they have an incense burner.
All forms are simple.
The meaning of red cloth is very simple, that is, to suppress evil.
On their side, it became a crew mobilization meeting.
After simply bowing to the camera and praying, Li Jinyan stepped forward and uncovered the red cloth, and then took out a stack of red envelopes with great pain and sent them to everyone on the scene.
"It's a good time to start the computer."
"It's a good time to start the computer."
Everyone has a share, and everyone regards this as a mobilization meeting.
Anyway, it doesn’t charge extra money to say good-looking words.
Zhou Ming and others knew how many red envelopes were in. Last night, they helped to pack thirty-six.
As the saying goes, "The Sixth and Sixth Great Success" is that Li Jinyan hopes that his movie can be filmed smoothly and completed, and it would be better if he can go to the cinema.
The staff signed an employment agreement with Director Jinyan Studio yesterday.
No one would say he was stingy.
Because he paid for the entire movie out of his own pocket, he also used the subsequent income of the movie to share with everyone.
Li Jinyan did not draw cakes, but used the income sharing to fully mobilize everyone's enthusiasm.
As long as you complete your job, you can add luster to the film.
Wan Lin hasn't received a red envelope for booting a computer for a long time.
This time it was actually sent to her by the student, and she cherished it and put it in her pocket.
"Okay, since everyone has received the red envelopes, then prepare to shoot. You know today's shooting task, right?" Li Jinyan didn't want to waste time.
Every extra day of filming, the crew spends more than tens of thousands of yuan.
"knew!"
The staff answered in unison.
At this moment, everyone is very motivated, and props, photographers and lighting engineers adjust equipment and arrange the venue respectively.
The scene was in full swing.
In order to make a good start for filming, Li Jinyan specially put Wan Lin on the first shot.
She is the most experienced person of all actors.
If the shooting goes well, you can have a very good start.
At this time, the university classroom had been arranged in the shape of a high school classroom.
There are many empty classrooms in the Central Academy of Drama, and this is a special shooting location specially applied for, and there are only two weeks to use.
Members, including Li Jinyan, spontaneously transformed into a prop group and copied it one-to-one with the supporting actors.
Directly above the blackboard in front is the red plastic font "Learn to be careful to think" and "Distinguished and Practice".
On the corner of the blackboard, there is a countdown to the college entrance examination, the name of the diary student and the course schedule.
The blackboard newspaper behind the classroom was also completed by themselves.
Even the desks and books on the desks were bought by Mu Yushi, who mobilized everyone to go to the scrap recycling station to buy them, and borrowed them from local students in Yanjing.
Standing in this room, you feel like you are going back and forth.
Due to limited conditions, the crew did not organize any makeup photos, so only when you stand in front of the camera will you know what it will look like.
Extremely original.
It's also very real.
Didn't deliberately make a styling.
After Wan Lin put on her makeup, she came to the front of the camera. At this time, Li Jinyan was adjusting the light with the cameraman and the lighting engineer.
"Teacher Wan, you will be very stylish when you stand here."
Many people don’t appear on camera in real life, but after putting on makeup and lighting, they become radiant.
Not to mention a natural beauty like Wan Lin.
Although her makeup, hairstyle and clothing are the most common working-class styles, she still can't stop her beauty.
There is a saying in the film and television industry that people protect dramas and dramas protect people.
If the script is well written, it can bring a certain degree of looseness to the actors' performance. Even if there are only 70 points in the performance, it can still bring the overall score to more than 80 points under the influence of the plot.
If the script is average, but the actors contribute super god-level performances, they can also turn an ordinary movie into an excellent work that the audience can never forget.
Li Jinyan hopes that Wan Lin can become the kind of actor who can protect the show.
Using her acting skills to drive the rest of the crew with insufficient funds.
It was obvious that he was just shooting a student work, but Wan Lin was so nervous that her heart beat faster.
She hasn't been standing in front of the camera for ten years and usually teaches others, but now it's her turn to act.
"Director Li, can I practice my positioning first?"
"Of course, you can rehearse and rehearse. Let's try shooting and see which angle you are most suitable for shooting."
The standard format of movie screening is twenty-four frames per second, that is, twenty-four pictures. These pictures are combined to make a complete shot.
The teacher Sa played by Wan Lin is about to play the role of the first time meeting the children of Class 32 of Grade 2, and it is also the first day when the male protagonist actually repeats his studies.
The classroom usage time is limited, and the extras cannot come to help all day long, so this scene will be shot in a concentrated manner.
After hearing the noisy sound in the classroom, Teacher Sa, played by Wan Lin, frowned and came in from the corridor.
At this time, the classroom of the senior high school liberal arts should have read aloud, but at this time it was all kinds of noisy.
She walked in with a cold face, her high heels were particularly clear, and she was muttering: "What are you doing?"
The students who were originally noisy immediately scattered.
In fact, this shot is very simple, just one line.
The key point is actually to introduce the role of Teacher Sa to achieve the effect of leading the way.
But after watching Wan Lin's performance, Li Jinyan couldn't help but frown. This performance seemed a bit arrogant and not natural enough.
At the same time, I also felt that the angle was wrong when shooting.
The behavior of "the class teacher suddenly appears" should be a nightmare for most students. Everyone is most afraid of the sudden quiet air in the classroom. When they turned their heads, they found that the class teacher was standing at the door.
This is the real horror blockbuster!
Li Jinyan wanted to bring this kind of horror atmosphere flashing by the head teacher to the audience in front of the computer or TV, which would enhance the sense of inclusion.
So he found the cameraman Zhou Ming and discussed, "Stop, I just had an idea in my head. I didn't take pictures of how Teacher Sa came in, but took pictures of a certain classmate's perspective. Turning his head and she suddenly stood at the door."
The class teachers have all practiced light skills and always appear quietly on the front and back doors or windows.
"How do you want to shoot?" As a videographer, Zhou Ming wanted to realize all kinds of fantastic ideas proposed by the director and cooperate with the other party.
Li Jinyan came to the camera and explained briefly: "You take a picture from this angle and use the three-point method to form the picture. The left side is empty, Xiaofan is in the middle, and Teacher Sa at the door on the right side is equivalent to looking through Xiaofan's shoulder from the perspective of the real person."
The third-part method is to divide the picture into the shape of the word "well" through two vertical lines.
The important elements in the picture are near these lines.
"Here, Xiaofan's face is blurred and the focus is on Teacher Sa."
Zhou Ming quickly understood what Li Jinyan meant, and after comparing the OK gesture, he began to adjust the camera position.
Chapter completed!
