Disaster Artist

When watching movies, ordinary audiences rarely notice the "existence" of lenses, lights, soundtracks, etc., because the visual impact of the big screen is impactful and oppressive, but in fact, as a visual and auditory synthesis The importance of these details is beyond imagination.

For example, in the movie "A Clockwork Orange", when **** violence occurs, elegant classical music is used as the background music, forming a sharp contrast, and the creepy metamorphosis index rises straight, and even creates a kind of scarier than horror movies. psychological shock.

The same goes for "raid".

Like action movies and sci-fi movies, there are classic soundtracks that are routine. If such a routine is used, it is actually equivalent to a spoiler. Whether there is a sensational suspicion is not to be said, but rigidity and stereotypes cannot be avoided.

In Lu Qian's opinion, he can completely wait for the post-production to find a quiet and melodious soundtrack to brew the atmosphere and create a smooth and elegant ballet dance——

etc!

A flash of light.

"If you use a ballet soundtrack, like 'Swan Lake' or something, and let the camera flow lightly, from the blue hour to the gathering of the SWAT team to the lazy and quiet waking up in the early morning in the apartment building..."

The more Lu Qian thought about it, the more excited he became. It should be interesting to start the chapter in such a way—

First, brewing the tranquility before the storm; second, the elegant soundtrack contrasts with the desolate environment; third, from this moment on, let the audience feel the rhythm and breathing of the camera, and touch the movie slowly and invisible. The pulse of the lens increases immersion.

Su Ziyi also became excited next to him, and he had already started to conceive lighting effects in his mind. It was a little more hazy and gentle, and he could even create some dream-like effects, breaking the inertial thinking of action movies, and the inspiration was also opened.

"A Qian, you said, shouldn't the colors also make subtle changes with the flow of the melody?"

Su Zi immediately expressed his thoughts.

"At the beginning, it was mainly blue tones, which blended into the atmosphere of the blue hour, then as the apartment was advanced and the sun rose, the tone gradually became brighter, and finally when the SWAT team sneaked into the apartment, the color was dimmed again. It evolves into a light similar to the hallway room, creating a visual dullness and oppression.”

Film critics often like to say that film footage has a "flow", but what does that mean?

In fact, the description is very abstract. In short, you can feel the vitality of the lens. Starting from the composition, editing, light, color and soundtrack, it presents the rhythm of the story, which is a combination of vision and hearing. Experience is also a reflection of the director's ability to control images and sound.

Many directors can show this "fluidity", including many commercial films, but most of them are occasional flashes of inspiration, and only very, very few directors can perfectly integrate this feeling into the film. middle.

Iranian director Abbas-Kiarostami is the representative.

In the "Village Trilogy" directed by Abbas in his early years, "Where Is My Friend's Home", "Life Flowing", "The Lover Under the Olive Tree" can deeply feel the flow of the camera and the picture vitality.

Su Ziyi has limited understanding of the screen shots, but he is an absolute expert in lighting. Inspired by Lu Qian's point of view on the soundtrack, the words are gushed out.

But Chen Mu and Su Ziyi are different.

Chen Mu's first reaction was to complain, "Light? Flowing? Do you think this is a neon sign? Would you like a red and green variation?"

Su Zi was caught off guard and choked, looked up and down at Chen Mu, his eyes seemed to say: Are we familiar with each other? Why are you so impolite?

Lu Qian's voice had already sounded next to him, and he countered back, "Ayi means that on the basis of a unified color tone, different lighting effects are triggered according to the light and shade, and this hint is used to change the psychological state, and then combine with the soundtrack, composition, The scheduling blends into one, showing a sense of breathing.”

"Chen Da cameraman, I thought you were a camera genius. Of course you should know what Hajime really means. Is it because the rumors are too famous?"

In the second half of the sentence, Lu Qian mercilessly attacked Chen Mu directly, forcibly holding Chen Mu's words in his chest, as if he was about to explode.

In fact, everyone knows the most basic principles:

If there is a sudden downpour in a summer afternoon, flying sand and rocks, dark clouds cover the sun, and the whole sky is dark, you will naturally feel depressed and dull, even if it is three o'clock in the afternoon, there is also a sense of doomsday oppression; But after the torrential rain, the sun reappeared, and the radiance of thousands of miles has nothing to do with time, so you can feel open-minded.

The psychological impact of light changes is clear at a glance.

This is a very clear and very basic drop contrast, based on this, with the change of light, the psychological state will also fluctuate.

What Su Ziyi means is that, through these subtle changes, in conjunction with other links in Lu Qian's mind, the audience is brought into the world of movies little by little.

Doesn't Chen Mu know about this?

No, Chen Mu knew.

But Chen Mu still chose to "attack".

Just like Su Ziyi, "aggressiveness" is the only way for them to make their voices heard in the crew. They attack reflexively to make others notice them, but Chen Mu is more aggressive than Su Ziyi. , not because of Su Ziyi, but because of Lu Qian standing in front of him.

As a result, Lu Qian's understated sentence was directly blocked, and he attacked the snake with sarcasm and pinched Chen Mu seven inches, and he was still superior.

Chen Mu felt a little embarrassed.

How could he feel that Lu Qian's aggression has become stronger after not seeing him for a few years, and his eloquence, wit, on-the-spot reaction, etc., are all different.

Lu Qian in memory, doesn't it seem like this?

He took a deep breath and swallowed the grinding sound of his teeth abruptly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But if he loses, he still can't lose his aura, so he immediately fights back.

"It's so easy for you to say a word, but do you know how difficult it is to operate?"

"Classical music, sense of flow, the premise is, what type of classical music is it, what is the rhythm and rhythm? How should the flow sensor of the camera work?"

"Also, this is a long shot, yes, we can use shot cuts to complete the seamless transition, but the angles, cut points, lens movements, etc. all need to create a one-shot effect, do you know how cumbersome it is? "

"You still want to show the life in the apartment, capture those moments with the lens of God, do you think these shots will come casually? We didn't have the funds to use computer effects, so we had to shoot on the spot, the whole route. And the angle design is a visible amount of work, okay?"

"Do you think the lighting crew's job is easy? Su Ziyi speaks beautifully now, but the work in the future is still far from it."

Chen Mu slapped a lot of them, like a dynamite barrel.
