There is no doubt that the director of photography is important to a crew shooting. Murphy couldn't get through to Philip Raschel, so he simply contacted his agent, but the agent couldn't get in touch with Philip Raschel. Murphy had no choice but to send someone to drive to Philip Lascher's home to have a look.

Although his director of photography likes to pick up girls and take drugs, since the two of them worked together, Murphy has rarely seen him be late, and it is even more rare that the whole crew is waiting for him alone.

Henry Cavill and Margot Robbie, who were already getting ready on the set, looked at Murphy frequently, and Murphy simply asked them to go back to rest and wait.

After waiting another 20 minutes, when Murphy was getting more and more anxious, Gal Gadot hurried over from the studio office area.

"Fili has an accident." She walked up to Murphy and said in a low voice, "On the way here this morning, Fili's car was hit by someone."

"What?" Murphy asked immediately, "How is he?"

Gal Gadot shook his head, "Felix himself is fine, but in his car..."

Having said that, she moved closer to Murphy, lowering her voice, "There was marijuana and another prohibited drug in his car, which was discovered by the police who dealt with the accident, and has been taken to the police station. Li's agent has already rushed over after notifying me."

Murphy took off the baseball cap he was wearing and threw it on his director's monitor, "Damn it!"

After complaining, he said again, "Go and call Robert and ask him to go over and see if he can help, and get Fili out as soon as possible."

Gal Gadot nodded, "I'll go right away."

Sitting in the director's chair, Murphy swears a bad word, feeling a sense of anger that cannot be vented.

No one could have predicted this unexpected situation.

Without Philip Raschel, it is okay to temporarily let his deputy be in charge of the camera crew, but before filming "The Wolf of Wall Street", Philip Raschel's deputy was poached by other crews, and the rest are some It is impossible for the ability and experience to be in charge of the camera assistants of the camera crew. The investment of this film is so high, and Murphy's requirements are also quite strict, it is impossible for these people to be in charge.

Now the scene, lighting, actors, etc. are all ready, and the entire crew is waiting for the director's order to shoot.

Murphy hooked his hands back, and an assistant director came over.

"Let the crew take a break for half an hour," he ordered.

After speaking, he stood up and came to the photography team, gathered all the photography assistants, and planned to let himself control the photography team first.

Most directors have a certain in-depth study of photography, which is a necessary skill. Many camera directors will also shoot in person, and Murphy is no exception.

Although it is unrealistic for such a large production to have the director also serve as the director of photography to shoot the entire film, there is no problem with Murphy's brief command of the photography team.

Murphy said as lightly as possible, "Fili has a little unexpected situation, and today I will be the director of photography for the time being."

The photography assistants nodded one after another, and couldn't say anything other than cooperating with them.

However, in the past few years, Murphy has been less and less involved in the actual shooting work, and more of the shooting is handed over to Philip Lascher. Now he must make adjustments as soon as possible to adapt to the work and role. Variety.

Fortunately, Philip Raschel had already conducted necessary adjustments and tests on all digital cameras, and Murphy only needed to check the results of the test shots, and then make appropriate adjustments according to his own requirements.

In Murphy's crew, a film project is about to start shooting, and the camera test is no longer required to be applied for by the director of photography as a special requirement. He has already asked Philip Raschel to prepare it by himself during the pre-production. Reserve time and money for this session.

But even if the director of photography knows the equipment used and the image rendering effect like the back of his hand,

The crew still has to test the camera, and each project needs to start from scratch and conduct a machine test.

That's because the crew's camera tests don't just provide a test for one machine, but three important elements in the project: the imaging tool for the camerawork, the subject for the camerawork, and the tone and color for the camerawork choose.

The final picture of the movie is the result of the interaction of these three elements. Regardless of the connection with other elements, the quality of the camera is only a small part.

When film was used in the past, some films were tested with different lenses, different filters, and many different shooting processes to see how they would eventually perform when rendering the actors, hairstyles and costumes, and sometimes even To test their effect when displaying the scene.

The DP then works with the colorist to study the clips, evaluating different lenses and filters and processes to find out which combination is closer to what the project needs. Converted to digital is not important.

On the contrary, testing has become more important, because in the digital age, different elements are easier to obtain, so it is more necessary to pass tests to select the best combination.

Because Philip Lascher had conducted a systematic test on the digital camera before, Murphy only conducted an on-site test according to the process of test on-site shooting before starting to shoot.

Through the test results, Murphy made appropriate adjustments to several cameras used for shooting, and then asked the crew to notify the crew to start shooting.

After the extras were in place, and after Margot Robbie and Henry Cavill got familiar with their positions for the last time, the director put the marker card in his hand in front of the lens of the main camera controlled by Murphy, and said loudly, ""After Chaos City", scene one, scene one, start now!"

The lighting on the set seemed a bit dim, and an incandescent lamp shone on Margot Robbie's face. The heroine she played looked beautiful and resolute, as if she had a sacred and unshakable faith in her heart.

Several strong-looking men in black lay on the ground without any movement.

In the shadows created by the set, a man in black with a face invisible sat leaning against a corner.

"It's a good thing to uphold justice," the man in black said hoarsely, "but in this chaotic and sinful city, if you want to uphold justice, you must first protect yourself."

Margot Robbie turned to look at Henry Cavill in the shadows, with the determination in his voice, "I know what to do! Crimes should be punished by legal means, not like you Use violence to control violence!"

Henry Cavill, dressed in black, suddenly stood up, "Only by making these people feel fear, can this city be saved and the law enforced! Now this..."

"Cut!" Murphy yelled to stop the shooting, came out from behind the camera, and said, "Pause for five minutes!"

Then, he said to Henry Cavill and Margot Robbie, "It's not about you, it's about me."

After finishing speaking, Murphy beckoned for a photography assistant, pointed to the main camera he was using just now, and said, "Turn camera one to the left by 20 degrees. When I need to shoot Henry, there will be more shadows."

Next, he returned to the director's position, carefully looked at the footage captured by the No. 2 camera and No. 3 camera, and made appropriate adjustments at the same time.

It is not an easy job for the director and the director of photography to shoulder one shoulder, especially for Murphy who is directly serving as the director of photography.

Being a cinematographer is not as easy a job as it seems.

An excellent cinematographer is also a technician. A brick wall that usually looks ordinary, after the photographer's skillful hands, adding shadows, mist, lighting and other visual expression methods, and then becomes the one in the film that makes people laugh. The audience feels a mysterious land filled with an atmosphere of fear.

Achieving these requires the photographer to have a lot of professional knowledge, lenses, filters and laboratories.

Because every possibility of imagination has to go through countless explorations and researches in the experimental process. Whenever an excellent photographer is in the middle of these tools, an excellent photographer will have the interest of shooting and creating from the bottom of his heart. Create a lot of background atmosphere and emotional power.

For example, to make the heroine of the movie look more noble and charming, and to bring out the subtle psychological changes of the characters through the change of color, as Murphy just requested. When shooting some complicated scenes, the choice of shooting angle is very important. At this time It requires the precise cooperation of the director and the photographer, and how to make their own lens in the best shooting position is also the most frequently considered issue for photographers.

After adjusting the camera, the next shot was paused again because of problems with Henry Cavill and Margot Robbie. The footage captured by a camera was declared approved.

The subsequent filming is basically Henry Cavill and Margot Robbie. There is a strange layer between the two of them playing the leading role Chris Dan and the leading actress Jay Rachel. For a personal relationship, Murphy needed two people who could empathize while performing.

The shooting didn't go smoothly. After a day's work, only one-third of the planned shots were completed, but an extremely important position was missing, and Murphy didn't have a good way. After the day's shooting ended, he first Time called Philip Lascher and Robert respectively to find out the relevant situation, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Philip Lascher's car is not drugs like methamphetamine and cocaine, just marijuana and other less serious prescription drugs, which will not cause him too much trouble, but it is enough to cooperate with the police to stay in the police station Forty-eight hours is necessary, and this is the lightest treatment.

This also means that Murphy will temporarily serve as the director of photography for a while. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
