Although the filming encountered difficulties in props, sets and other aspects, compared with the first two weeks of filming, the crew's operation was much smoother. After a period of running-in, the rhythm of cooperation was gradually found among various types of work.

Most importantly, Murphy, an inexperienced director, is making progress at a very fast pace.

In the third week of filming in the San Fernando Valley Basin, another teenage actress joined the crew, an extra named Emily, who paid only one hundred dollars a day at the current bottom line of the actors’ union.

The actor only has one scene, and the film begins with a murderous murder by Jeff, a photographer played by James Franco.

The crew also left the indoor shooting for the first time. Murphy placed the set by the small lake not far from the front of the house and chose a lawn surrounded by bushes as the shooting location.

The crew is too simple, and there is no need to think about equipment like a special makeup trailer. The actors can only put on makeup on the other side of the house and then come here again.

Also, Murphy wanted to use a down shot in the opening scene, and the bolster shooting effect was undoubtedly the best, but renting a bolster truck would cost a lot, so he simply asked someone to drive a Ford sedan and planned to climb onto the car by himself to shoot it manually.

The shooting in the past two weeks has cost a lot of money. While achieving the shooting effect, Murphy must consider more practical expenditure issues.

The weather is very good today, the sky is blue and the light is abundant. From time to time, a breeze with moisture will blow from the nearby small lake, bringing a little coolness to the originally dry air.

Under Murphy's command, nearly ten people in the crew were busy with their respective work. Three interns led by Paul Wilson acted as porters, transporting film, equipment and other equipment from the house to the set.

The black Ford sedan was simply modified by prop artist Mia Sucre, and a shooting platform built with wood and plastic was added to the roof. Murphy stood on the platform and directed the crew's work.

Since the actor was still putting on makeup on the house, he focused more on building temporary sets.

There were two additional audiences in this filming. Carey Mulligan's agent Bill Roses brought a friend over, who was also the agent of the interim actress. Murphy had just talked with them and allowed the other party to watch the filming. Anyway, small crews and small projects like him are not afraid of spoilers or other troubles.

In contrast, it is worse than no one pays attention.

"How about it?"

Standing by the bushes at the edge of the set, Bill Roses looked at Murphy and asked the middle-aged man next to him, "Mac, what I told you some time ago."

The man named Mike slowly shook his head, "How can I see it now? But..."

He thought about it and said, "It's young, and youth often means lack of experience."

"He was very inexperienced." Bill Rosess had been with Carrey Mulligan at the beginning, and naturally he could see the troubles encountered during the filming. "He was a complete novice. When he first started shooting, he made many basic mistakes."

Mike curled the corners of his mouth and shook his head again, as if he was not very interested in someone like Murphy.

"But his progress is amazing!" Bill Rosess still looked at Murphy, "He can always find the problem at the first time, find solutions as quickly as possible, summarize the experience and lessons, and will hardly make the same mistake again afterwards."

"Look." Mike won't make a conclusion easily, "Let's take a look."

After the set was set up, after a while, makeup artist Jack Watson walked over with his bag with James Franco and extras Emily. James Franco was still dressed in gray costumes and glasses, while Emily looked extremely miserable, with scars on her face, her mouth was crooked, and several places were covered with blood.

Emily's makeup is excellent. Among the several behind-the-scenes jobs hired, Murphy is most satisfied with Jack Watson. This person, unlike other ordinary people, is the type who has not encountered the right opportunity.

After calling James Franco and Emily over to give a few simple instructions, and asking about the preparations of each department, Murphy started a test shot. Due to the limited rehearsals of the two actors, the test shot was not smooth, and Murphy also had to adjust the appropriate angle of the shooting. Finally, the Ford sedan stopped in front of the left side of Jeff's abuse site, and from here, the miserable situation of Emily lying on the grass was fully captured.

Unlike before, Murphy used all the filming of black and white films. After all, the perpetrator was a minor, and he was a little too sensitive. The black and white picture could better control the shooting scale.

Conditions like scars, blood, etc., the feeling of being presented on black and white film and color film is completely different.

This Emily is younger than Carrey Mulligan, and Murphy also wants to avoid the film and become NC-17.

"Jack, put on makeup for Emily."

After a test shot, Murphy called the extras over and took advantage of the makeup time to explain, "Amy, you want to beg for more miserable."

"Yeah!" Because it was inconvenient to put on makeup, she just snorted.

James Franco only had one frontal shot in this scene, and after such a long time of shooting, his condition was also guaranteed.

After Jack Watson finished makeup for Emily, Murphy carried the camera and shouted, "Attention from all departments! Start shooting in five minutes."

After the actors were in place and the staff of each department were ready, Murphy adjusted the camera and shouted to start directly.

He stood on the platform on the top of the Ford sedan, with the camera lens tilting downward forty-five corners, first giving Emily a close-up of her pig-headed face.

Her face was covered with blood and wounds everywhere. Even so, she could still vaguely see her originally pretty and cute appearance. I have to say that Jack Watson is indeed very good at applying makeup. Such a shot can also convey a message: Who made such a cute girl like this? How can she bear to make her look like this?

"Help...Help..." The girl shouted softly and seemed to be about to die at any time. Only those bright eyes looked ahead begging, "Please...Please...Please let me go..."

A huge fist broke into the camera and "smacked" the girl in the face, and then there was a man's figure. He turned his head and looked at the camera. Sven's face was strangely fierce, "This is a punishment that I don't accept my pursuit!"

After saying that, he took out a wallpaper knife and stared at the girl's throat...
