Chapter 16 That’s our boss
After a quick lunch, the others could continue to rest, and Rong Guang needed to take the crew to shoot a few shots - no actors required, just transitional shots of the scenery.
This kind of transitional shot is quite simple. It just allows the two cameramen Jiang Wei and Zeng Jian to familiarize themselves with the picture standard. The second half of the shot is shot with 35mm film.
Arrangements were made for Jiang and Zeng to take one photo each. Rongguang realized that they were very tired and immediately stopped the shooting: "Brother Jiang, Brother Zeng, you two go to rest quickly. We have to rehearse in the afternoon. The next few
I'll take the camera."
Indeed, running for twelve minutes without stopping in the morning and carrying the camera over and over again made the two cameramen feel quite tired.
"Guangzi, are you okay?" Jiang Wei asked.
"I'll be fine. Don't worry. This reel of film needs to be filled up."
Arrangements were made for the artist to be his stand-in, temporarily taking his place in the rehearsal. Rong Guang continued shooting.
"Sister Zhang, you will be the scene recorder for the time being." Rong Guang ordered the makeup artist. When she nodded in agreement, he grabbed Yang Sa beside him and said, "Xiao Yang, you need to make a cameo in the next two scenes."
"Me?" Yang Sa looked surprised. Then he nodded, "Okay, Director Rong."
In fact, many production crews will let the staff make temporary guest appearances. As a graduate of Nortel, Yang Sa has also taken acting classes. Although she is not an acting major, she is still better than the extras caught on the street. As for this, it is almost
In Rong Guang's eyes, extras that have no performance component basically belong to the category of scenery.
There were no accidents afterwards. Although Yang Sa was a little unfamiliar in front of the camera, she just tried shooting a few more times, so she successfully completed these two shots.
…
When he returned to the rehearsal site, Rong Guang sat down on the recliner he brought with him.
Having been part of the crew for many years, some habits have already been deeply ingrained in Rong Guang's soul. For example, this one - seize every free time to rest!
Filming is quite tiring for the crew, and accidents often occur. So don't stand if you can sit, and don't sit if you can lie down. Save every ounce of your energy so that you can cope with the subsequent work.
As an aside, for actors, the nanny car is indeed very practical. It was not used to pretend to be a celebrity at first. But where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and we are in the big dyeing vat of the entertainment industry, so a certain
These things are inevitable...
Therefore, this recliner was specially bought by Rongguang. It can sit and lie down, and it can be regarded as his director's throne. Of course, the actors and staff will also consider that there are two cars? The car is their rest area.
Observing the rehearsal at the scene, Rong Guang nodded secretly. It was not perfect, but as long as it was rehearsed a few more times, it would at least be of a qualified standard. It should be said that most of the actors hired were from Beijing, but they all had
Basic, and quite hardworking.
However, as the observation deepened, Rong Guang frowned slightly. He suddenly discovered that there was no problem with the actors, but there were some minor problems with the camera.
This is what the equipment originally brought to the pot.
Before the rebirth of Rong Guang, the film and television industry had long been exclusively equipped with digital equipment. After the shooting was completed, it could be played back on the spot to find problems.
But now we can only see the quality of the film after the printing is completed. Therefore, in the rehearsal that Rong Guang personally participated in, the cameraman's minor problems could not be found at all. There was no way to find them through playback.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time.
As for those minor problems, they only need correction and explanation, and they are not difficult to solve.
As for those small problems, it involves the practical experience of the camera operator.
When you study in the photography department, you usually only master single-camera shooting. As for multi-camera shooting, that is, learning in theory, it is impossible for Nortel to provide a multi-camera internship environment. Needless to say, Nortel is one of the three largest companies in the United States.
Film schools, they can't be that wealthy either.
But after studying in theory, there are some differences in practice. And these are all experiences, what can be photographed better, what can be more labor-saving, what can not affect each other, how to move, etc.
In the Mainland, simple low-camera shooting with less than three cameras is generally suitable for filming TV series and simple movies. As for high-camera shooting with four, five, or even six cameras, you can only go to Hong Kong.
The photographers, as well as the royal photographers of several famous mainland directors, will have a lot of experience.
Therefore, it is for this reason that Hong Kong videographers occupy the ecological niche of high-end video directors. Moreover, they are passed down from master to apprentice and are relatively exclusive. It is difficult for young videographers from the mainland to join in and learn.
For example, in the future, Zeng Jian is such an awesome person! He still settles in Hong Kong with Mei Ting, otherwise he would not be able to learn the most advanced high-camera technology. But even so, Zeng Jian can be said to have mastered the low-camera skills
, have already been able to win the grand prize at film festivals. But for the camera director of a high-profile blockbuster movie, no one gave him a chance. Maybe he has learned and mastered it, but no one will give him a chance! The investment for a blockbuster movie is at least on
Billions, no one dares to take risks.
At this time, Jiang Wei and Zeng Jian, two rookies, did not even fully master the dual-camera technology. Their basic skills in single-camera shooting were absolutely fine, but dual-camera shooting sometimes requires some skills.
There is no way, the domineering boy has a hard life!
Rong Guang stood up and clapped his hands, interrupting the rehearsal. He called Jiang and Zeng to his side and whispered: "Watch how I shoot. Think about it more. If you don't understand anything, ask immediately."
Ignoring Jiang, Zeng and Zeng looked puzzled, and Rong Guang picked up a camera: "What I'm doing now is Brother Jiang's positioning!"
When Rong Guang carried the camera and took the first step, Jiang and Zeng's expressions changed. With such a simple action, Jiang and Zeng could conclude that Rong Guang was also an expert in photography. But then, Jiang
, both Zeng and Zeng's eyes lit up. This sudden little trick immediately allowed them to solve a certain question in their hearts, and they felt like they were suddenly enlightened...
Jiang and Zeng slowly immersed themselves in learning, concentrating so much that they didn't want to let go of Rong Guang's every move. When they were out running the crew, the old cameramen outside were somewhat secretive. Therefore, this kind of learning opportunity was not a good one.
I know how rare it is.
As for why Rongguang has these skills? Why does Pheasant Beipiao far exceed the level of graduates from the Nortel Photography Department? Who cares about so much?
