021 first scene
The winter in Australia is not only windy, but also very windy. The raging wind makes people almost unsteady. It seems that if you open your arms, you will fly directly into the sky like a kite. The broad and boundless field of vision is displayed in front of you, and the three nearby You can't see any human habitation within a ten-minute drive. The quietness and vastness bring an indescribable feeling of loneliness. Human beings are so insignificant in front of nature..
However, after the baptism of the boot camp, Renly has become calmer, not because he has enough ability to accept the dangerous environment, but because he knows that there are always more difficult moments after the most difficult moments..
Tim told him that on the battlefield, living is the only important thing. Renly understood this sentence, but he had no way to experience it personally. Even after ten days of training, the threat of death was still not clear enough, even for the man who The night in the wilderness where I almost froze my toes off was not enough, but at least there was a start..
After boot camp in San Diego, the entire "Pacific War" crew came to Australia to prepare for official filming.
From beginning to end, the two bosses Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg have not shown up. Rumor has it that they will visit the crew next week. The last time they directed it was as director in "Band of Brothers" Episode 5's Tom will not be involved in directing this time around as he is looking for a suitable production company for his next project, "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close".
However, regardless of whether Tom and Steven are present or not, the crew will finally start shooting. This is 100% certain. All the previous preparations are for today.
Looking at the busy studio in front of me, I feel more unfamiliar than familiar..
It is divided into two parts with the monitor as the boundary. Directly in front is the official shooting scene. The staff is laying the shooting track, the photographer and lighting engineer are adjusting the light, and the prop master is making sure that all the furnishings are OK. The director is standing next to the stage manager, confirming the next shooting process, and then setting up the radio equipment; directly behind is the standby section, where the director uses the radio to communicate directly with the heads of each department, while the assistant director is listening to the arrangements. The actors all sat next to a giant RV, leaving themselves to the mercy of makeup artists and stylists. The rest of the crowd stood three steps away, chatting away.……
Renly had seen scenes shot on the set in countless movies, and what happened in front of him had appeared countless times in his dreams, but when it all really happened in front of his eyes, the feeling of excitement was still uncontrollable. No, it was even worse. To be precise, he didn't want to contain it, so he just let his surging thoughts run rampant. As a man in two lives, he was about to truly stand in front of the camera and realize his dream according to his own wishes for the first time..
Although he didn't know whether this dream was realistic enough, although he didn't know where this road would lead, and although he didn't know how many waves his little butterfly could make with the heavy responsibility of breaking the trajectory of history; but, He doesn't regret it, and he won't regret it.
“All the actors are in place." David-Nutter picked up the loudspeaker and shouted loudly, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. The actors came to the monitor and formed a circle. .Renly is no exception.
He is a professional television director who is very well-known in the industry. He is under fifty years old. His resume includes "Entourage", "Supernatural", "Supernatural" and other works, and later directed "Power". "The Game", "Homeland", "Shameless", "The Flash", "Arrow" and other series.
In the United States, the director of a TV series is not fixed. There may be seven or eight different directors in a season of twenty-four episodes, or even more, who are responsible for directing different episodes. The same is true for "Pacific War", which has a total of ten episodes. Six directors, David is only responsible for the first and fourth episodes.
“The first scene will begin immediately. All actors are asked to take their seats and follow the production staff to go through the process and learn about the camera positions. If you have any questions, please ask them as soon as possible, and then we will start shooting." David simply explained. , paused, "Today is the first scene of 'Pacific War', I hope the whole filming goes smoothly..”
Here...do you want to applaud?？
Renly looked around, he wasn't sure, but then David put the speaker aside, and the actors and staff dispersed - obviously, this was the opening ceremony, and there was no rumor. The formality and grandness were completed in such an understatement. Renly couldn't help but adjust his breathing, collect his thoughts, and quickly walked into the shooting scene..
Although Renly is a complete layman and has no practical experience in TV or movie shooting, he has learned enough about it on paper before. He also recorded his performance with a camera for testing while studying in the academy, and also in London. He spent a lot of time in the West End, so he knew that the first step was to figure out what he was doing and how to do it..
For performance, it is not enough to just stand in front of the camera and perform. Most intuitively, the performance needs to be captured by the camera, and captured correctly. This requires the actor to understand the position of the camera, lighting, and lens, and then according to the Position the actors or camera tracks to avoid blocking the camera or co-stars.
Of course, this is just basic knowledge. As for how to communicate with the camera, how to communicate with the director or the audience behind the camera, how to communicate with the opposite actors, and how to perform, the performance methods of close shot, medium shot, long shot and close-up are all different. , these can only be learned slowly during the performance..
Renly was a little nervous. Although he had been born twice, those experiences were useless. This was the first time he stood in front of the camera. There was a slight sweat on his palms, but without any hesitation, he walked forward and started to The drama manager asked for advice, and the questions came one after another..
Darin-Rivetti was a little impatient. As the chief stage manager of "War in the Pacific", he had to manage too many things. Since this was the first scene, he did it himself, but the stupid young man in front of him was clean. Asking basic questions is either embarrassing him or humiliating him. He finally couldn't hold back his irritation and burst out directly, "You idiot, you actually ask me this kind of question that even a newcomer knows."？”
Renly was not frightened at all, and looked at him with concentration and seriousness, "This is my first work, so I need to confirm the difference between what I learned in the academy and actual combat. This is for More efficient work, isn’t it?？”
Darling looked at Renly's sincere expression, his deep pupils showing the mellowness and brightness of brown under the bright sunshine. He grabbed his throat solemnly and solemnly, unable to utter any words of retort. He could only Venting his rage, "Which blind guy chose you, a rookie? Eugene is an important role, the protagonist! The protagonist.！”
“Mr. Steven Spielberg." Renly's face was still full of innocence, so much so that Darin almost choked on his own saliva..
Darling turned around and was about to leave, but Renly stopped him again, "So, in the first scene, will it change from a medium shot to a long shot, or from a close shot to a medium shot? Will the camera be hand-held and rotated, or will it move according to the track?？”
The extremely trivial questions made Darin secretly grit his teeth, and kept warning himself in his heart: Bear with it, bear with it, this is only the first day, bear with it, there will be six long months to come. But, maybe, maybe He could give this self-righteous "genius" a little warning, just like teaching a rookie in a boot camp, "Mid shot changes to long shot, track moves." Darling didn't get entangled, returned neatly, and then turned around and left..
Renly nodded, walked to his position, and began to prepare for his first scene—it was also the first scene for the entire "Pacific War" crew. In order to indicate a good start, he chose a relatively simple scene for filming..
The content tells the story of Eugene's father who checked his body and found that there was still a murmur in his heart, so Eugene could not join the army. This disappointed him so much that he even burst into tears. This was also the first scene in which Eugene appeared in the play. However, , considering that this scene is relatively lengthy and complicated to shoot, and there are close-ups of faces, so David chose a scene after this scene as the first scene.
Eugene left the bedroom and went downstairs. His father and brother were listening to the radio. The war situation was getting more and more tragic. His brother was about to join the army. He was wearing a straight military uniform and sat face to face with his father. Eugene stood at the door of the living room and watched. At such a harmonious scene, I recalled that I could not join the army due to physical reasons. I felt disappointed and a little angry, so I rushed out of the porch, rode my bicycle and took my dog out to relax..
The scene to be filmed is of Eugene standing at the door looking at his father and brother. It takes less than five seconds, from the emotions of his father and brother to Eugene's shock, and finally ends with Eugene leaving..
The content is relatively rich, but it is relatively simple, and the mood is relatively single. There are no ups and downs, and the filming will be smoother. It is perfect to choose this scene as the opening of the entire series..
Standing at the top of the stairs, Renly calmed down his thoughts. He looked at the camera standing directly in front of him, and then at the camera standing behind the dining room on the left facing the living room. He constructed a three-dimensional composition of the picture in his mind, and made After getting ready, he made an "OK" gesture to indicate to the director that he was ready..
After a while, after the actors of father and brother were ready, the voice of the scene recorder rang, "Pacific War, August 3, 2009, third act, second scene, first shooting." After finishing speaking, the crisp sound of the board rang, announcing that filming had officially started..
Renly took a step forward and walked down the stairs. The sound of the radio came to his ears, explaining the tragic situation of the Pacific War. This made him pause in his steps. He turned his head and saw that he was listening to the news in the living room. The father and brother stopped their steps completely and stayed in place, looking at the two figures in a daze..
At this moment, a red light appeared in the field of vision, and then slowly retreated. This unexpected red light disrupted the rhythm of Renly's performance - didn't it mean that the medium shot turned into a long shot? Why is it a close shot? Don't you mean orbital shooting? Why do I see a cameraman carrying a camera in my sight?？
“Card! "David's voice broke the silence on the set..
In the first scene, I got stuck..
