As a director, some habits and rules should be developed early in your career, and even everyone in the crew knows it.

For example, how to get along with actors.

On the Saw crew, these are not problems. The film comes from Murphy Investment. The most famous actor James Franko has a good relationship with him, and no one else has the power to point him as a director.

If it is replaced with other projects in the future, there will be more well-known actors in the projects?

To a certain extent, it is normal for actors to be vain, and most actors even admit it.

So why did Murphy show them what they have done when they glanced at the screen, they would want to see more, see if the shadows were appropriate or if they showed a double chin.

As a director, Murphy wants real performances, and as an actor, most of the time they want perfect appearance in addition to their acting skills.

Who will win in the end? To completely avoid this problem, the director would be better off keeping the actors away from the monitor. If it is not necessary, don't invite them over.

Since the last shoot, like Carey Mulligan or James Franko asked how their performances were, Murphy was always repeating the words that your performance was really perfect, dear.

The first day of work ended here. Before the filming began the next day, Murphy called the heads of various departments together and held a brief meeting.

Since he completed the script, he began to prepare for the pre-shooting, and made a lot of ideas and imaginations for every scene, every character and even some subtle actions of the script. The early viewing of the scene brought the plot into the scene to make a lot of possibilities of shooting hypotheses.

After the shooting is turned on, a shooting meeting before work every day can implement the shooting in small details.

Of course, even if you have made sufficient preliminary preparations, due to various reasons at the shooting site, the heads of various departments still need to face the situation of performing on the spot. When encountering such an emergency moment, the entire crew will wait for the director's next move, and Murphy also encountered such a problem in the subsequent shooting.

The most important thing for him as a director is to perform on the spot and conceive the camera in a short period of time is of course active thinking, and also requires strong basic skills.

The support of technology and thinking is the prerequisite and confidence for the director to deal with problems, and it is also the guarantee for the smooth operation of the crew.

When Murphy has new ideas during filming, he will first ask the actors to express the scene in the simplest way, let them find a good position in the scene, and see what effect it has. New directors like him are also a process of learning and accumulation, and sometimes the creativity of the actors will also inspire his creativity.

However, if the actor's idea is far from his thinking, Murphy will find ways to get the actors back on the right track of the film rather than letting them lose themselves in their direction.

This requires planning, a storyboard that accurately expresses the plot and the characters' thoughts, which can be the most effective at this time.

After a week of continuous shooting, the scenes of James Franco and Seth Rogan being alone in the secret room gradually came to an end. After the crew carefully prepared, a scene was filmed.

Behind the two cameras, Murphy and Phil Raschel each operate one. Raschel's assistant set up Stenikon and stood slightly outside, ready to go forward and capture the shot at any time.

On the set, James Franco was like crazy, picked up the hacksaw on the ground, took off his shirt and tied the prosthetic legs made by Baker Clebert. The saw blade fell in the middle of the prosthetic legs, and sawed them wildly.

He saw the surface made of resin slightly, and bright red liquid poured out instantly, and some rose and fell on his face. James Franco had no intention of stopping. While making a painful howl, he continued to saw his legs. The red juice flowed to the ground, dyed red, and then splashed everywhere with the large sawing.

It seemed like a bloody rain around, and it looked so cruel.

Two underage girls, Lily and Carey Mulligan, were taken away by Bill Roses before Murphy started filming, especially Carey Mulligan. He couldn't say why, and he was always worried that she would affect her mental health when she saw these.

However, the busy work also made him lose the time and energy to think about these things.

Above James Franco, a huge microphone hung quietly there, recording his pain, plasma splattered to the ground, and hacksaw cuts the skin muscles

All of these sounds require live recording.

Due to the limitations of scenes and costs, it was impossible for the crew to use the boom here, so an intern had to hold a lifting rod and hang the microphone. This seemed easy, but it was actually a tiring job. From Murphy's perspective, the intern's forehead was covered with sweat.

The intern focuses on live recording at school, otherwise she would not be the assistant to the recording engineer for the moment.

The work of holding a pole seems simple, but in fact it has a very professional level. The pole and the microphone line can affect the effect of live recording. Even simple lines have many requirements, such as fast collection and fast release of the line, the male head of the line is used to the recording equipment, and the female head is connected to the microphone on the pole. There should be no bumps in the middle of the connection line, and it cannot be too close to other power lines such as lights, otherwise interference will occur.

Moreover, there are many tricks to lifting poles. This intern is the ear of the recording engineer. It can be said that he is not doing well, and the recording engineer is also fooling around.

This job is by no means just asking someone to go to that microphone. The microphone must be pressed low enough and cannot be missed in the camera, which requires a lot of practice. For example, this intern has done similar jobs before, and only glanced at the monitor to know where the microphone was at its lowest point.

Raising the microphone high in order not to be touched is not professional or responsible, and the recorded things will always be useless.

This physical work also requires strong willpower. Murphy had to put a 20-foot long pole when shooting a large panorama, plus the character's movement, and a slightly longer shot. He was so tired that his hands were broken. During this period, the intern's hands were not allowed to have any movements, because the friction and vibration caused by every action of his fingers would be clearly transmitted to the recorder.

Perhaps some people think that with wireless recording, Murphy still uses this stupid method, which is simply out of date.

Wireless is good, but wireless cannot receive ambient sounds. At the same time, its frequency response range is also very limited, which is far less high-quality than the sound recorded by a wired microphone.

The sound of James Franco's character's sawing legs can undoubtedly increase the atmosphere of the film and bring a more terrifying auditory effect.

After filming this scene, Murphy announced that the filming was temporarily over. Everyone in the crew, including him, moved to an empty space in the warehouse and replaced the needles with tens of thousands of syringes.
