England 1986

Chapter 51 Shooting
"Fine."

I was careless.
Mature actresses are well-informed and know everything, and they are indeed Oscar-level best actresses.

"In addition, you have to add some hand movements to show your nervousness from the side."

"Director Ge, don't worry, I understand."

Meryl narrowed her eyes slightly, and glanced at Allen slightly like a wink.

"Okay, let's get ready."

Alan didn't care about Meryl's eyes either. The old lady's makeup was wrinkled, and he didn't bother to look at her face at all.

Called two photographers and had to explain the precautions.

"You have to pay attention to the details of her facial expressions in a while, and to capture her tangled feeling, understand?"

"Understood Your Excellency!"

"What about you. You should pay attention to her gestures when you are shooting in medium shots. When you see her hands moving, take a close-up of her hand movements, understand?"

"understand!"

The two photographers who were in charge of the close-up and medium-range shots were even more nervous when facing Allen. The aristocratic gentleman didn't dare to say anything.

"Okay, get ready!"

The exclusive gold-patterned small speaker was taken out by Allen, and the next shot will continue!
In just five days, the scenes in the hotel were filmed smoothly, but the overall pace was not too fast.

When shooting during the day, because Allen couldn’t see the replay, everything had to be shot by feeling, so he could only take the film back to the manor when work was over in the afternoon, and let the photographer make a rough cut in his newly built editing room, and take the film Show him it again.

This time, it's time to look at the details.

If a problem is found, the lens needs to be repaired the next day.

This is already an extremely efficient filming method, why can Hollywood gather so many crews in such a small place?

It is because they have all kinds of facilities in that place, after the director finishes shooting the film that day, he can also see such rough cut films in the nearby editing room at night.

If you move to a poorer place, where all the equipment is not available, then that is the real blind shooting.

Those directors can only take a lot of shots, and there is no lower limit and they always need to "keep one".

Whenever a problem is found, the backup screen can be enabled, and the consequences of this are.
First, a lot of time was wasted and the entire film production cycle was lengthened, ranging from one or two years to three or four years.

Second, a lot of film was wasted. The cost of the film used for shooting is not cheap. If there is too much waste and the time is long, the cost of the film will naturally go up.

But now Allen, because he is shooting nearby, he is willing to make these upfront investments, which makes shooting much more convenient.

Although it can't compare to Hollywood's professionalism, compared with the crews in other places horizontally, his behavior like this is already very proud.

As the shooting progressed, the mutual familiarity between the actors and crew members increased, and the cooperation of the entire crew gradually became more and more tacit.

Inside the hotel room.
Allen held a device that looked like a long SLR lens and sat next to the camera.

This is an optical viewfinder, function.
It is to simulate the footage captured by the camera, which is convenient for the director to control the image.

It's better than nothing.

At the end of the double bed, Meryl changed into a slightly sexy pajamas and sat next to the little black duck.

Allen looked at the camera images of the two and frowned slightly. Today's shooting gave him a very bad feeling, but...
What's wrong with it, he can't say.

"Crack!"

Allen stopped the shooting, stood up and glanced left and right, and finally found out where this bad feeling came from.

light!

To be precise, it is the brightness of the light.

Today's scene is a bit bigger, it can be regarded as the foreplay part, and the light in the room is rather dark at this time.

In this way, the overall feeling gives people a very fragmented feeling.

Not so ambiguous.

Words can't describe this thing well.

If you have to describe it, why are the lights in many leisure houses, beauty salons and salons small pink lamps?
Experienced old drivers, when they see this kind of light, they know it well, and their emotions will be mobilized in a timely manner. It is time to go in and rescue the woman who has lost her footing.

But if this kind of place is changed to a greener and darker light.
No matter how good-looking the young lady standing at the door looking for customers is, will customers still feel that way when they see this kind of lighting?

The difference here is just the lighting!

"Who arranged the lighting today? Didn't you read the shooting plan? What effect do I want? What kind of shit is this arrangement?"

When he remembered that the shot he had been shooting for a long time was useless again, Allen glanced around angrily, and finally set his sights on Syphis who was trying his best to hide himself in the dark in the corner.

"."

Seeing Allen's gaze, Syphis swallowed.

"Master, just wait a moment, I'll let them change it."

After finishing speaking, Sifis waved his hand fiercely and asked the lighting engineer to change the lights quickly. These lighting engineers poached from the BBC really embarrassing him.

While the lighting engineer was going to re-arrange the lights, Allen beckoned to Meryl, then called the two photographers to his side, and began to explain his thoughts again.

"When we are shooting later, Meryl, I need you to wear your pajamas as tight as possible. For example, when you sit down, you can wipe your hands behind the back, straighten the hem of the pajamas and then sit down. To bring out your curves, your chest needs to be straightened up."

Allen planned to shoot this film on the sidelines, but he never revealed it. This is the bottom line.

Although in the general environment, there are also scenes of exposure on the Titanic, they are in the name of art.

But they are them, and Allen is not going to be so straightforward in this film.

What he wants to play is stream of consciousness, taking the emotional route, that is, teasing.

Vegetarian, but not greasy!

As long as he raises his mood high enough in version A, Gambia's traffic will be huge!
It's pure yellow, isn't there still a B-version professional responsible for it.

Who said that if nothing is revealed, the audience will not feel it after watching it?

There are so many films with codes, what are they doing for shooting them?

What you want is emotion, what you want is artistic conception.

For photographing women, Allen still has a lot of experience.

When photographing young women.

It is necessary to photograph their youth and vitality, to photograph their long legs, to photograph their feet.

It should be shot from bottom to top, slowly and carefully along the feet, to give the audience a kind of unscrupulous voyeurism of hiding behind the screen and carefully looking at every inch of skin on the beauty's body from bottom to top feel.

But when it comes to shooting middle-aged women, it is not like this.

They are no longer young, and their appearance is not their advantage.

This has to change the angle to shoot the focus.

What is the point?

It is the kind of slightly sagging after going through a lot, the kind of slightly protruding lower abdomen, the stretch marks on the lower abdomen, the kind that even with heavy makeup, there is not so much wind and dust, but it is the kind that reads the world of mortals The sense of vicissitudes of the past is something that young women don't have.

But now in a foreign country, Alan has to go a step further, not only to shoot all the above things, but also to shoot more directly, to shoot some curves on Meryl's body, he wants to be a little concealed a feeling of.
