Hollywood legendary director

"Go back, go back a little bit." Ryan directed the crew to drive a generator car to the front entrance of the campus.

After the wiring was connected, the lighting team began to repeatedly adjust the brightness, chromatic aberration and reflection, and the position of the condenser.

The scene in this scene is the so-called "virus" dean riding a bicycle into the campus.

Because the natural light is not well received, they adopted side light supplementary recording, which requires the help of generator cars.

After all, if you want to illuminate such a high wattage headlight, the power is not low.

Ambient light, lighting, eye contact light, etc. add up to almost 12 kilowatts.

In addition to the lighting problems, the camera team also checked the cameras and film.

The setting team was busy spreading some fallen leaves on the clean road around it.

Someone also helped move the monitor to a suitable location, put the battery in, turn on the power, and debug it.

This is a qualified crew. As the director, Lehman doesn't have to work like the first filming, just focus on completing his own vision.

Working until half past nine in the morning, George, who was signaled, raised a loudspeaker and started shouting: "Clear the venue, all irrelevant personnel retreat to one side, move faster."

But George was not in a hurry. This time, I told the principal that I had to stop work before 12 o'clock so that it would not disturb the normal travel of the school teachers and students.

At this time, there were still some students who hadn't gone to class. They watched with the intention of watching the excitement, but they were of good quality, and they were very compatible. When they heard the call, they also retreated to the side with the staff present.

Soon, the venue was processed.

George continued to shout: "The scene is quiet, all units pay attention now, and the actors are ready to enter. Makeup and props are on standby at any time."

Then there is the reconfirmation of various departments, and the whole process seems cumbersome and organized.

"Unit 1 is OK."

"No. 2 machine is no problem."

"The lighting is OK."

"The radio is OK."

"The actor is ready—"

As each person in charge spoke out, a crew member holding a clapperboard, stood in front of the main camera that had been lit up with a red light and entered the working state, and waited for director Lehman's instructions.

Seeing him nodding affirmatively, the field record immediately hit the board.

"The first scene of the first scene of "Three Fools Raising Bollywood", the first scene of the 23rd scene, action——" With a click, the filming officially started.

Lehman stood behind the monitor, carefully watching the picture formed by the two cameras.

This time I took a panoramic view.

In the peaceful atmosphere, a few staff members who changed into student outfits began to enter the arena as a background for passers-by. They hurriedly walked and marched forward.

The actor Boman Ilani, who plays the role of the dean, has his hair deliberately turned white and old makeup on his face. With the ringing of the bicycle ringing, he rides a bicycle and enters the scene with a leisurely look. .

Holding the bird cage in one hand and controlling the direction of travel with the other, it seemed extremely easy.

With his appearance, the second camera was quickly locked onto the dean, clearly capturing the micro expressions of the actor's face, while the first camera remained stationary, overlooking the overall scene.

He frowned from time to time, and kept his eyes on the front.There are concerns, but not so important.

People and bicycles merge with the surrounding student groups and move towards the school gate, which is exactly what Lehman wanted.

When the figure of the bicycle completely exceeded the camera position to constitute the viewpoint, Lehman immediately shouted "Ka!".

He watched the camera again in front of the monitor, and made sure that there was nothing wrong, and said to Djean Kumar who was on the side: "Notify the actors, this scene is over."

For the first shot of the crew, the scene he chose was also the simplest one, and the shooting went smoothly.

The team this time is really much better than the grass team he was looking for last time.

Everyone knows what they want to do and can take charge of their own work, which makes Lehman not too easy.

In this battle-like shooting process, the preliminary review and planning are really important.

Lehman has prepared the scripts and composition ideas for the shots, and distributed them to the camera and lighting teams, and they will understand what visual effects you want to present.

The equipment and props were also watched by George, and even Ryan, who was on the side, handled various shooting affairs carefully. The operation of the crew was really good.

After hearing this, the staff members were in a good mood, but they immediately took action.

Moving the machine, preparing for the next scene.

The next shot is naturally the section of the Dean’s speech. He talked about the everlasting theory of competition. He wanted these students who had just joined the university campus to realize the cruelty of society, so as to encourage them to study more hard, not After entering the university, I think I can sit back and relax.

This lens is naturally a mid-to-close shot. The shooting position of the camera is placed on the side of the shooting venue, and the other camera is placed on the side of the student group.

This requires all the photographic equipment, recording equipment, and the generator car used just now to be driven into the academy, and the lighting and the actor's position must be re-adjusted. It will take a while.

In fact, this morning, Lehmann planned to shoot that shot, but the shooting went smoothly. The scene was done before 11 o'clock. Taking advantage of the good condition, he hurried to get the next shot.

"Come on, Ryan, I'll help." Seeing Ryan struggling to carry a large cardboard box, which was filled with student costumes needed for shooting, Lehman walked quickly over and held the other side. .

This time, the selection of the background board for passers-by cannot be replaced by the crew. Because of the face photos, the dozens of students in front of the student group can't let a group of middle-aged people in their 30s and 40s play.

Even if you can put on makeup, it is a very troublesome thing.

Not the main actor, who would like to spend so much thought.

So after fixing the camera position, Lehmann directly approached Djean Kumar and told him whether he could invite some school students to stand in the first three columns for shooting. He thought about it and it was not difficult. I went to a group of students who were on the sidelines to communicate.

Maybe it’s the reason why they can get 1,000 rupees for a short time, or the students are very happy to participate in the shooting of a film. In short, the communication goes well, and even the number of people is very positive. .

Upon seeing this, Lehman simply selected all those who wanted to participate, a total of more than 80 people, arranged in a mighty five rows, standing in the center of the venue surrounded by a semicircle.The protagonists also stand well distributed.

On the other side, Boman-Irani, who finished the makeup, also quickly went on the field, and began to adjust his stance and position to ensure that he could frame the lens imaging at a position that was 30 degrees off the close-up camera.

Lehman called the actor who played the salesman and asked him to stand behind the pillars in the corridor, only half of his body exposed, and he happened to be swept by the second camera.

After directing the actor, Lyman called George again and asked, "Are all the props, lights, etc. okay?"

"no problem."

Hearing an accurate answer, Lehmann stopped looking at the monitor. He walked to Thomas's side. Next, he was in charge of the second seat, which needed to switch characters back and forth, which was a test of technology. He hoped more. There can be no mistakes here.

"Thomas, leave it to you."

Thomas smiled, carrying the camera and said, "Don't worry."

Hand-held shooting really tests a cameraman's shooting skills.

Different from the fixed camera position, this kind of switching back and forth, if the hand is not stable enough, or the speed control is not coordinated enough, the lens picture is very easy to collapse.

Just like when shooting Hollywood blockbusters, I like to use slide rails and other auxiliary devices to help the camera shoot, it is to highlight a stable.

But Lehmann didn't like that way. The shots that were shot in that way lacked a sense of movement, were stable, especially rigid and lifeless.

George, who was signaled, made a gesture after seeing that everything was ready. The staff stepped forward, and after shouting the shooting serial number of the camera, knocked on the clapperboard, "action--" Lehman shouted.

With an order, everyone present entered the performance.

The background board of those passers-by students naturally does not need to move much, as long as they focus on the dean and pretend to listen to the lecture.For the "real" group of students who have attended classes all the year round, these are really true colors.They stood up in unison, looking forward.

The dean played by Boman-Irani lifted the birdcage and opened the cover to reveal a cuckoo inside.

"this is?"

Lehman frowned immediately and shouted directly: "Stop!"

He strode to the center of the field and took the bird cage. The cuckoo bird in the cage was lying weakly, looking listless, with only weak breathing and closed eyes that told Lyman. It's still alive.

"Props!" Lehman's voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally powerful, "What is this? I want a cuckoo that bumps alive, not like this."

Upon hearing the news, the head of the props group ran all the way, looking at Lehman anxiously.

He really did not expect that the first accident in the filming would be on the props team, instead of Thomas, who was more worried about him, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

He pointed to the dying cuckoo and asked.

"Director, I..."

Lehman didn't wait for him to explain, but interrupted directly: "Get a lively cuckoo again, is there a problem?"

The head of the props group is a French man in his thirties, and he has often worked with Europa Pictures.

He understood that his team had made a mistake, and quickly remedied: "Give me ten minutes, and I'll change it right away."

"Go." The filming was suspended because of this little oversight, which was really unacceptable to Lyman, and his tone became cold.
