The Best Director

Large-format cameras like the m-msm-2 are designed for documentary or landscape photography, which is their job; rather than sci-fi action movies like "Firefly". Astonishingly appealing as they come out, they require more effort to compose and shoot, and greater talent from the director. Different from the familiar 35mm format, directors and cinematographers need to follow and create a new set of guidelines in order to design the composition for the 15-station hole-per-frame micro-millimeter format film.

There is a rolling emerald green valley under the clear blue sky. The photographic equipment transported from the other side of the mountain has been prepared and the scene is properly arranged, but this is not a signal to start shooting. Wang Yang, who was wearing the military uniform of the independent sergeant, stood behind the huge camera, bent over and closed one eye, aimed at the electronic viewfinder of the camera display system, and made a design in the direction of the performance area at the far end, and then made a design for the camera. Walley Pfister and others next to him said: "There is a problem with this focal length, and a shallow depth of field cannot be used."

Shallow depth of field is a commonly used shooting technique. Depth of field refers to the distance range of objects measured along the axis of the imager that can obtain clear images in front of the camera lens or other imagers. The longer the focal length, the shallower the depth of field; the shorter the focal length, the shorter the depth of field. deeper. Shallow depth of field simply means that the focused subject is clear and the background is blurred, which can better highlight the subject and make the picture softer and more beautiful.

This is a shot of Mal, Zoe, Tonado and others walking out of the cave barracks and looking into the sky to watch the images and information of the surrendered and defeated images of various planets, characters standing side by side, and a barren and dilapidated background. If you are using Wumm film, you must use a shallow depth of field. Marr and others, who are sluggish in focus, use slow motion from the panoramic view to the medium view and then to the close view, and then cooperate with the mournful soundtrack to create a kind of sadness. atmosphere of.

But now it is 65 mm, and it seems that it cannot be done in the same way. Hearing the director's words, cinematographer Walley Srant, visual effects supervisor Sean Walsh of the image engine special effects team, producer and first brother director Joss Whedon and others all frowned. , Four... There are too many troubles with the film! But everyone was not the slightest bit impatient, looking at the entire crew around, or the behind-the-scenes staff talking or working, or the actors rehearsing and walking or reading the script...

There are a lot of problems on the set every day, some belong to this department, some belong to that department, and all belong to the director. The director is not impatient, when is it their turn? Charismatic young directors have exactly this benefit, bringing energy and momentum to everyone on the crew. Just like Steven Spielberg who was knife-year-old in "Jaws", just like now.

It's often amused by Drew Pietrota, whose father, Belle Pietrota, helped make Jaws a success;

Valerfister was the one who proposed to use m film for some scenes of "Firefly", and he was also the main photographer. Naturally, he had to share the burden for the director. Seeing that Wang Yang stepped aside, he bent over and looked through the electronic viewfinder, feeling a little speechless. Every time I look at this viewfinder in the past two days, I have this feeling, it’s too dark! It is almost impossible to see the picture of the performance area clearly.

He had to ask again: "Increase the brightness of the light hole first, I can't see it."

"If you use a shallow depth of field, the details of the picture will definitely be a mess." Wang Yang talked about his own judgment and discovery just now, and scanned Joss-Whedon, Sean...Talsh and others, making hand movements to explain why: "I want to show that most of the focus of the screen may be out of focus. This is not okay. The audience will find it very confusing and uncomfortable. In that case, it would be better to use netbsp; assistant Harry George on the camera department After a few clicks, the brightness of the light hole was increased from the t16 old level to the t32 blade level. Only then did Walley... Pfister barely see the picture clearly, but it was still too dark. He could see clearly! He couldn't help but whispered: "Oh, it's so dark, is it because I don't wear glasses? "Wang Yang was a little surprised: "I can see it, it won't suddenly break down, right? "The hearts of all the people suddenly lifted up: "No way? ", "Have you never collided? "

"No, no, no, it's not bad, it's because Yang's eyes are so good." Walley Pfister quickly explained with a smile, anyway, he doesn't have this talent. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they were really afraid of this little princess! If it breaks suddenly, if you don't send it back to Si, m company, who will repair it here? There are only three in the world. Wang Yang, who was also a false alarm, said angrily: "Maybe you are too old, Harry will give him a plan..." Everyone couldn't help chuckling, and Waley laughed and said: "It's okay now, it's okay now."

After calming down and staring carefully for a while, Waller Pfister also discovered the problem of out-of-focus.

There is a very unique piece of frosted glass on the electronic viewfinder, which marks the clear focus area of ​​the image, which is the lens position where Marr and others should stand. It is about one third of the way up from the bottom of the screen, mainly concentrated in Central location. This is the focus area designed the way most four-m projection system theaters are designed, because in four-m theaters, most of the audience sits a quarter of the way up from the bottom of the screen, in that area of ​​seating, The most comfortable position for the eyes is slightly lower in the middle, which is the position of the clear focus area.

Because the details and range of the picture captured by the micro-millimeter film are more and larger, if you use a shallow depth of field, especially in the middle shot of the panorama, it will look like a large area of ​​blur, only a small area of ​​clear focus, and the out-of-adjustment part is more prominent than the clear part. Not only does it lose the essential meaning of the shallow depth of field technique, it will be very weird and uncomfortable. Walley-Pfister understood that this was the focal length problem that Wang Yang was talking about.

So use full depth? The front of the whole picture is shot clearly? Here comes a new question, where should the audience look? How to draw their attention to the original focus area to complete the whole atmosphere? How the depth of field will directly affect the effect of the entire scene.

In fact, Wang Yang has fully considered this point in the shot scripts given to the photography team by Walley Pfister and others. The shot design in the script is very careful, so as to allow the audience's eyes to follow the movements of the characters naturally. Wherever the clear focus area is, they will look there, unconsciously receiving the director's indoctrination, techniques and intentions. This requires avoiding a lot of action focus on the edge of the frame, and too high a position, and the action passing through the frame should not move too fast to keep the audience's attention.

In addition, considering the scope of photography and the number of details in the picture, it is very important to carefully design the focus area and the composition of the action. Feel the martial arts, the holy king made the holy king, kill the gods and seal the throne at night, seek the magic, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young Zhou royal family, kill the gods and seal the throne at night, seek the magic, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young Zhou, the royal family of the martial arts universe The Throne of the Divine Seal of the Night Killing God Seeking the Devil, the World's Strongest Nine Heavens, the Strongest Abandoned Young Master of the Great Zhou Royal Clan, The God-Creator of the Great Zhou Royal Family So shallow depth of field cannot be used, nor can full depth of focus with focus everywhere. Unfortunately, in addition to the problem of being too dark, the electronic viewfinder and the markings that guide the composition rules also caused a lot of trouble for directors and photographers who are not used to this format.

Wang Yang didn't seem to be affected at all, and he got used to it quickly; but the old guy, Walley Pfister, had a headache because of this, and adjusted the brightness of the light hole of the lighting system to the narrow level, and finally saw the problem clearly, he agreed. : "Yes, shallow depth of field will become terrible, well, we can only adjust the focal length and aperture one by one to see the effect..." To find the most suitable degree of depth of field blur, it not only highlights the focus area but is not ugly.

"Try the panorama first, the focal length, I think it will be good." Wang Yang took a few glances with the director's viewfinder alone, combined with the electronic viewfinder just now, and expressed his judgment. Walley Pfister adjusted the focus on msn-2, watched for a few seconds and said, "It does look much better. It's very close to the normal view. I'm not sure, it's too dark." He stepped aside, Sean-Walsh, Joss... Whedon all looked at it, but it was too dark to draw any conclusions.

It is also impossible to increase the brightness to another level, because the camera lighting is only used when shooting, and the effect is not the same if it is higher. Fortunately, the decision maker has a good eye, and the director still needs to be involved.

"Not bad." Wang Yang leaned over and aimed at the viewfinder. The t32-level brightness made him see more clearly. Although he hadn't seen it on the m screen, it was almost certainly the most ideal focal length. The depth of field can be relatively shallow when close-up. , he said again: "Try" and reduce the aperture by one more stop. "

The scene in front of him changed suddenly. The distant trees on the left edge of the frame were so obtrusive. This focus would distract attention. Erase the computer?"

It is not feasible to directly ask the production crew to run up and cut them down. Apart from the law, they don't want to destroy the environment at will; and the shooting location of Tranquility Valley has been selected for a long time, and the nearby terrain is not suitable, so they can only count on four. With technology, erasing a few villages is naturally a piece of cake. Sean... Talsh replied without thinking: "Yes." Wang Yang clapped his hands away from the camera and said, "Warei, the focal length is paid and..." He took the horn handed over by his assistant to talk to Jane, and shouted Said: "Get ready!! The whole world is ready!!"

"Guys." Valley... Pfister responded and adjusted the camera. Robert Downey Jr., who heard the director's voice, and several other leading actors came over; Jessica also put down the drawing book full of compositions, Smiling, he got up and ran to prepare to watch the excitement.

Just like every day on the set in the past, performances, script lines, sets, photography - the magical director of "Ultimate Glue" solved another troublesome problem, killing the bad four and projection effects in the cradle; but new problems are coming soon , and it seems to be even more troublesome than the temper of the little princess msn-2 Weiwei.

"net." Followed by the first brother, director Joss... Whedon shouted, and the u state that was set up on the stable ground beyond the emerald green mountain... the suction camera was suddenly turned on by Walley Pfister, and the lens was facing forward and raised a little higher On the hillside of the wave, the film reel, which is only available for 3 minutes, starts to rotate, and the camera team operates the entire camera system; at the same time, there is a digital movie camera next to it-shooting the wummi images aimed at the actors.

It is impossible to watch the playback of the images shot with m film immediately on the set; with the digital camera, you can watch the playback almost as you like, and the film crew no longer has to worry about there will be goofs in the background. Video tapes are of poor quality, and it is difficult to express the details in the picture, but digital images can be viewed on large color high-definition monitors, even if they should not be seen, they will be seen clearly. When Wang Yang threatened Jessica, he said, "Why is there an extra person behind you?"

This one - no matter what the lighting quality is, it is mainly for the director to observe and check the actors' performances and positions, and directly make revision guidance.

"No, ng one" A film was reimbursed, and everyone stood in front of the 26-inch monitor. The power supply cable on the ground extended to the power supply car in the distance. On the screen, on the hillside, there were people in military uniforms with gray hair. Robert Downey Jr. on the soil surface, Wang Yang on the left and right on the right, Gina Torres, and several extra performers behind slowly took a few steps forward, staring at the distant sky dumbfounded. Wang Yang, who was holding the remote control in front of the screen, pressed playback again, frowning dissatisfiedly: "No, no! The idiot on the left is too bad at acting."

The idiot on the left walked too hurriedly at first, but then abruptly slowed down in order to keep up with everyone's rhythm; his expression was completely expressionless, and he didn't even feel surprised... What's wrong with the casting director! Where did you find such an unprofessional idiot?

"I think it's good!" Jessica said quickly, she was so handsome, and she was stunned by the news of defeat and surrender, which made people feel heartbroken. I really want to help him, isn't it enough? She looked left and right at Ellen... Peggy, Michael-Pitt and others for support. It seems that not many people recognize her, Ellen-Peg raised her eyebrows: "bsp; Touching his chin, he expressed his opinion: "Yang, could it be that you are not into the show enough? His eyes are a little off. "Joss...Whedon, Wu Yanzu and the others were embarrassed to attack their big director again, Robert Downey Jr. was a little gloating: "Director, you just haven't found the key to release your acting talent. "

"Robert, maybe I don't know how to act, but I will hit you." Wang Yang's warning seemed full of helplessness. It turns out that his acting skills are still so stinky. Isn't it enough to complete a cameo? why? He didn't feel too much just because of being in the mountains. He knew that it was Heath... Ledger said "not in the play". After thinking about this, Wang Yang said to Downey: "Robert, your expression just now was not enough."

"I knew you wouldn't let me go." Robert Downey Jr. shrugged, and Wang Yang said seriously: "This is serious." Downey and everyone immediately became serious: "OK." Pressed again After replaying the picture again and again, when the picture was stopped at the middle ground of the three of them, Wang Yang pointed and said: "Look, you are completely sluggish now, with a little bit of surprise, which is good. But next, the level I asked for before What about changes?" Pressed the remote control, and the picture on the screen stopped in the foreground, and there was no obvious change.

Wang Yang looked at the thoughtful Robert Downey Jr., and said, "You know this is slow motion. Don't be afraid that the camera won't be able to capture your micro-expression. I need that moment. Mal knows that defeat and surrender are real." For a moment, you looked like you were about to cry, and you suppressed it!" Patting Downey on the shoulder, Wang Yang continued: "Don't forget that Mal is a hard-spoken and soft-hearted person, and his personality is emotional. understand?"

Downey didn't have any different opinions this time, so he nodded, "Understood, but I need to brew some emotions." Wang Yang smiled and said, "Yes, me too." He is an unskilled actor. Greta Garbo couldn't stand the sight of a lot of people in front of her! Ignoring this group of people, he picked up the microphone and shouted: "Clear the stage, clear the stage! All the other people stay away from the performance area! Don't surround yourself with them, go away, it's putting too much pressure on me! Jessica, can you Leave……"

"Hehe!" Alan-Peggy and others who joined the fun walked away with a smile, and went back to the production car: Jessica was talking to Wang Yangmi with encouragement. Heath...Ledger shook his head with a smile. Miracle Yang stood on the stage facing thousands of people and hundreds of millions of people in front of the TV without any fear; ", can't get into the show, isn't it interesting? In fact, the director is the one who understands the whole story the most and is the most involved in the play. He understands the heart of each character, but acting it out is indeed another matter.

"net." After the scene was cleared, the studio quickly started shooting again. Following Joss...Whedon's order, everyone started to move, and the little princess and msn-2 also started working. Jessica behind the camera looked at the performance area quite nervously. If the cameo on ordinary film could be a joke, the m film put pressure on her, so she couldn't help stroking the two wedding rings on the ring finger of her left hand: "Jian, come on! !"

This was a performance without lines. Wang Yang hurried out of the "cave" with Downey and others. When he saw the sky, the whole world slowed down. He told himself to ignore the filming in the distance ahead. The group of people looked at the blue sky, imagining the scene after the special effects, as if they saw spaceships and fighter planes flying by, and then the sky became faint, and different images like TV screens appeared everywhere, covering the whole world. It's empty all day.

Each image is a different planet and a different place, conveying a message that the independence faction has surrendered! The dejected cowboy soldiers, the proud Covenant officers, and the cheering people in the prosperous streets of the Covenant Center, the war is over!

"From now on, we officially take over this planet, and those who surrender will not die! You can switch to the Star Alliance, and the Star Alliance will arrange jobs for you!", "The Star Alliance is not your enemy, and the Star Alliance will bring a better life! ", "I accept...", "I accept..." All of a sudden, clear or indistinct voices sounded in the sky, one after another, the surrender of independent officers from all over the country came one after another, what independence, Fighting to the end, pursuing dreams, all turned into birds, all discarded like shoe shoes. Wang Yang felt that he had touched Tonado all of a sudden, the sad and confused mood, the anger and puzzlement of being broken and betrayed and abandoned after working hard with passion... He could hardly stop shaking, and he couldn't stop I don't know what kind of expression I have.

This is the independent faction! So ridiculous, so idiotic! There is no need to act, and for a moment, Robert Downey Jr. only felt something hit his eyes. So many people sacrificed their lives for this, and so many families lost their loved ones in exchange for surrender! The corners of his mouth moved naturally as if he was about to cry, and he squeezed it tightly, his eyes looking at the sky without blinking, his expression became more and more dull.

"Wow!" Paying attention to Joss who is performing in real-time... Whedon secretly admired, Downey's emotional investment seemed to explode, and what was even more explosive was the super glue on the left, trembling very naturally, it seems that he found That key?

Summer has entered a new week, June 18-24, "Furious Speed" and other films continue to compete in cinemas, and three new films will embark on the journey this week. Disney's 110 million-cost action-adventure comedy "Global Blades", starring Jackie Chan, Steve Coogan and others; Gil Fox's new work of the 10,000-cost Bad Boys, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and others Starring in "Crazy Dodgeball"; also regarded as the successor of the champion, after 2 years of "How to Get Away with Law", the super director Steven Spielberg's new work "Happy Terminal".

Impact on Oscar's will, but everyone thinks that this will be another light comedy box office bomb, and many fans even shouted: "Let Spielberg teach young people how to shoot." Light comedy."

And the young man's "Firefly" has new dynamic news. According to the official website report, the crew has completed the filming work in Alberta, Canada, and will leave the country of maple leaves for Texas to shoot some desert locations. The official website did not forget to announce the latest batch of stills, which excited the fans who have been following "Firefly" all the way. The most attractive stills this time are no different from the appearance of Zhou Yixiwei and Wang Yang's guest performance .

Fantastic Yang really played it! In a released still photo, Wang Yang on the left, Robert Downey Jr. in the middle and others are all staring at the sky, as if they saw something terrible. While collecting pictures, movie fans also know that this mysterious person who will make Mi Yang "a major turning point in his acting career..." turns out to be Captain Marr's subordinate during the war! Unless the entire movie is about the war between the Covenant and the Independents, what twist could they have imagined?

"Ahahaha, wow hahaha..." Browsing the website and seeing this news, seeing his dumbfounded appearance, Natalie laughed wildly uncontrollably, the more she laughed, the more funny she became: "Hahaha, ahaha One by one, how many times did he ng this time? I laughed so hard..." The true performance of "mt-21-tem..." is not enough. ng nearly ten times.

Natalie picked it up and said, "Hey Yang, it's me. I saw your stills. How many times have you np?" Wang Yang's laughter came from the phone: "Once, yeah!"

Natalie suddenly shouted in surprise: "What!! Just once? You just woke up? Or do you think I'm Jessica? Please, I don't believe it."
