"Kerry!"

In the temporary studio in the living room, Murphy called Carey Mulligan over. The test shot just now worked well, but he felt that Carey Mulligan could do better, "You haven't turned around yet, To show the innocent side more naturally."

After rejecting James Franco's invitation that night, Carey Mulligan gradually formed a plan in his mind to temporarily suppress his perception of James Franco, whether it was rehearsals or field shooting, although the performance was far from perfect , but also allows people to see the side of her rapid progress.

On the other side, James Franco got out of his role and looked at Carey Mulligan, who was listening to Murphy's words. In the recent week, he showed his so-called sincerity. The girl's attitude towards him has improved significantly, it seems. What the rookie director said makes sense.

Although Carey Mulligan won't play with him, he occasionally jokes and jokes a few times, which comforts James Franco's extremely itchy heart, and everything is changing for the better...

He raised the corners of his mouth, as if seeing the desire in his heart come true.

"You're doing a great job, Carey," Murphy continued to Carey Mulligan, "but I know you can do better, didn't you tell me you're an acting genius? Take all your potential. Take it out and let me take a look."

Carey Mulligan wrinkled her nose. "I will."

"Go get ready." Murphy waved to her.

Next to the makeup artist Jack Watson immediately followed Carey Mulligan, for her and James Franco touch up makeup.

Next is the trial shooting. Murphy, the director and photographer, not only has to adjust the state and movement of the actors, but also find the most suitable shooting position and shooting method.

Although many shooting methods have ideas when planning, but for a novice like him, the difference between ideation and field shooting is sometimes really big.

"Lights ready!" Murphy picked up the camera. "Actors ready! Go!"

Because there was a test shot before, whether it was the mediocre lighting engineer John Douglas, or the hero and heroine James Franco and Carey Mulligan quickly entered the state, especially the latter two, according to the set. bit, appearing in Murphy's camera footage.

James Franco's cup was handed to Carey Mulligan. Carey Mulligan withdrew his gaze from the living room, and looked at James Franco with bright eyes, but did not take the cup.

"What's wrong?" James Franco asked.

Carey Mulligan said innocently, "The adults told us that we can't just drink drinks from other men."

After several rehearsals and test shootings, the two of them have improved their control of this scene, but Murphy did not use the shooting method of the test shooting just now, but changed the position and shooting method.

During the shooting, not only the actors and other behind-the-scenes staff need to be adjusted, but the director and cameraman also need to adjust to find the most suitable way to get the best effect.

Murphy has been trying to control all the elements that appear in the picture while filming, which is very helpful for the narrative, and he also uses two shooting methods, open and closed.

In addition, he also paid great attention to the spatial coherence of the framing when shooting with the Steadicam.

Spatial coherence is very important. Murphy has long determined the shooting center point of the living room, a temporary studio, and then through the method of creating overlaps, the independent pictures have the same elements, so as to clarify the spatial relationship between the characters. .

The shots that are being filmed, whether it's a close-up of James Franco or a panorama of Carey Mulligan, have that cup, which both expresses the peculiar relationship between the two and sends a message to the audience. , the cup will play an important role in the following episodes.

Murphy is also very careful to avoid too many close-ups. The same high-level close-ups are not the only way to clarify the spatial relationship of the characters. Otherwise, the continuous appearance of close-ups in the film will only make the picture appear rigid and rigid, without any spirituality.

Therefore, Murphy takes Carey Mulligan as the axis center and shoots around the clockwise direction. This 360-degree axis wrapping shooting is also a shooting method often used in movies, especially the famous Michael Bay. When it comes to character relationships and emotions, they are basically surrounded by a 360-degree axis.

Axis shooting was originally created for smooth editing. Many people thought it was too rigid and should be broken, but Murphy didn’t see it that way. This method is still widely used, which shows its value, especially for For a novice director, a thing must be applied proficiently before breaking it, otherwise, what is the difference between shooting and shooting randomly?

Of course, there are also many directors who break the axis, for example, they can destroy psychological expectations, create a sense of confusion, change the position of characters, etc., but they are all created after skilled craftsmanship.

After the trial shot, Murphy didn't start filming immediately, but instead announced a temporary break and called the editor over.

The editor was in place a few days ago, from Fox Los Angeles TV Channel 6, the Griffith that Murphy had studied with, and he only needed a friendship price of $10,000.

Compared to a rookie like Murphy, Griffith, although not well-known, is a seasoned veteran in editing.

Experience can be used to share and learn. Griffith taught Murphy a lot of details on how to schedule the work of editors as a director, such as how the director arranges the editors on the shooting site, how to communicate with them, and how to deal with the rhythm. Arrange the footage, how to use music, sound effects, etc. in the editing.

Murphy took several pieces of footage shot today, and Griffith and Griffith entered a temporary studio on the right side of the living room to make preliminary on-site editing of these video materials.

As an editor, he also needs to participate in the whole filming of the film, but many directors do not do on-site editing. Murphy is different. He needs on-site editing as an assistant, which can make up for the shortcomings of inexperience, such as whether the scenes he designed are reasonable. Done, or whether this form can present his ideas, so he needs the help of someone as experienced as Griffith.

For another part, Murphy needed to look at what was available to see if there were any other possibilities for shooting.

Also, such live editing can also help rookie directors find a sense of rhythm.

The sense of rhythm is relatively imaginary. The film has many elements, so it has many aspects. Murphy considers the emotional rhythm the most.

For example, Hailey's attitude towards Jeff has changed successively.

After being busy in the studio for a long time, Murphy came out to announce the official start of the shooting. So many adjustments and test shots directly caused the shooting speed to be extremely slow. In one day, only three passes were passed.

"Let's be here today."

The sky outside the window gradually dimmed, and Murphy announced that the work was over. Tomorrow was the weekend. Although the shooting progress was not ideal, in order to maintain the morale of the crew, he still said loudly, "Saturday is a day off."

He himself also needs a little time to sum up.

Jessica Chastain came over at this moment and whispered, "I need to go back to the city."

Murphy waved his hand directly. Jessica Chastain had just left, and Carey Mulligan, who had taken off her makeup, came in front of him, "Murphy, are you going back for the weekend?"

"No..." Murphy shook his head, exhaustion on his face, and his head seemed to be aching again, "I have work to do."

"Exactly, I took Bill away." Carey Mulligan looked very excited, "I just made an appointment with James to rehearse Haley's subduing Jeff tomorrow."
