[US Entertainment] Best Director

It was already late at night when Prairis received the rest of the script, which came with an A4-sized contract.

After signing the contract, open the script directly.

Compared with the previous life, the script is much more concise, and I don't know why.

Just as Prairis was planning to storyboard, she got a call from Sarah Waters, the original author and the show's screenwriter.

"Miss Klander, I heard that the producer has decided to let you direct my script." Sarah Waters spoke first.

"Yes."

"Please forgive my presumptuousness. I doubt whether you are qualified for this position. We need to meet, Miss Klander." Sarah Waters said directly.

"Of course." Prairie replied.

"How about the coffee shop at the corner of Central Avenue in London tomorrow morning?"

"Yes." Prairie replied.

After hanging up the phone, Prairis started drawing the storyboard.

The next day, London Central Avenue Cafe.

Sarah Walls sat in the corner of the café.

Praris pushed open the door, walked into the coffee shop and sat opposite Sarah.

"Coffee or lemonade?" Sarah asked.

"coffee."

"Two coffees." Sarah returned the menu to the waiter.

The waiter quickly put two cups of coffee on the table.

Sara looked at Prairis inquisitively, "I Googled you yesterday, and your "Alone" has two brushes."

Prairis raised the corners of his lips, "You're showing love."

"However." Sarah suddenly raised her tone, "I still don't think you can make the Sue and Maude I want."

"But you're still willing to give me a chance, otherwise you wouldn't ask me out, wouldn't you?" Prairis laughed.

"That's right." Sarah stared at Praris and said slowly, "I am willing to give talented young people a chance."

Prairis smiled and put the documents in the bag in front of Sara.

"Trust me, I'm the young man you wished you were."

Sarah raised an eyebrow.

After returning home, Sarah opened the file bag, which contained a score of mirror drawings.

Sue and Maude popped up on the paper.

Delicate, gloomy, ambiguous...

This is the first time Sarah has seen this kind of storyboard.

Nothing to do with drawing skills.The artist's mastery of the elements alone is enough to amaze Sarah.

Under the screen of Prairis, all the slight fluctuations seem to become the culprit of disturbing the spring water.

The paint dripping from the tip of the pen, the slender fingers extending into Maud's mouth, the trembling of Maud's chest...

Sarah could even feel the heat wave almost gushing out from under the confinement.

......

Turned from the first to the last.

Sarah closed the drawing paper without saying a word.

There is no denying that the young girl drew exactly what she wanted Sue and Maud to be.

Prairius also sent a copy of the footage to the set designer.

After contacting the producer and confirming that Elaine Cassidy and Sally Hawkins from the previous life will play the role, Prairis was completely relieved.

The original work "City of Thorns" of "Finger Craftsmanship" is a work with a literary and artistic temperament. The film adaptation of this kind of work has an obvious feature, which is to test the acting skills of the actors. If the hazy literature and art are displayed, then this work will definitely not be that good.

Fortunately, even though the director was different from his previous life, the actors were still in the same cast.

After drawing the picture version of the storyboard, Prairis began to write the text version of the storyboard.

The sub-shots of the text version are completely different from those of the picture version. What shot, what camera position, what is the scene, what is the axis, what is the sound of the synchronization, what is the sequence of the actors entering and leaving the painting, what is the content of the picture, and what is the length of the shot, all correspond to each other one by one. Recorded in order.

If the picture storyboard is to specifically tell the cameraman how to shoot the shot, then the text version of the shot can be said to be the basis for the director to instruct all the cameramen, set designers, sound engineers and other staff how to work.

The creation of a film and television work is like a complete symphony. All the staff in the early and late stages are the musicians, and the director is the conductor in charge of the rhythm. The text version of the shot script is the score of the orchestra, which determines the What kind of work to create.

However, many new directors nowadays are often too lazy to write storyboards and shoot directly according to their feelings, which also increases the cost of the entire film, and the rhythm is out of balance. The success depends entirely on the post-editing.

Prairie will not allow such things to appear in her works. She firmly believes that sufficient preparation in the early stage is the key to the success of the film. She would rather be tired now and finish writing the storyboard.

So on the second day before the start-up, Prairis finished his retreat and found the cameraman with the written script.

Cameraman Brian is an old cameraman with 40 years of experience. He is sitting on a chair, scratching his beard, and looking at the storyboard with a confused face. He finds that he can't understand the young people nowadays There are more than 100 shots in a scene, and half of them are close-ups... Is he old, or is this young girl crazy? ? ?

Looking at Prairis hesitantly, he still couldn't hold back and said, "Are you sure you want to shoot like this?"

Prairie nodded, "Of course."

Brian couldn't believe it.

this girl.It's like taking the shooting as a child's play!

"are you joking?"

"Are you showing off your skills? One scene! There are more than 100 shots in total! Fifty of them are close-ups! How do you shoot this?"

"Do you know how to film a movie?"

Prairis didn't say a word, looked at the angry Brian, and waited for him to calm down before speaking, "This is my first work, Mr. Brian, you have to believe that I hope it will be a hit more than you. red."

Prairis looked at Brian sincerely, "Besides, I didn't use so many close-ups on purpose to show off my skills, but I need to use so many here. If I really want to show off my skills and take a long shot, wouldn't it be good? Play fast Is the editing bad? Do you have to use thankless close-ups?"

Brian remained sullen.

Pryris continued, "Mr. Brian, I know that I am very dissatisfied with me now, but I am really serious about this work. Let's shoot like this for a day, and I will show you the effect."

Brian snorted disdainfully.

"I'll show you the rough cut of the first day's shooting material, and if you're still not satisfied, I'll leave the group." Prairis said directly.

Hearing this, Brian frowned, he didn't expect Praris to be so decisive.

If he continues to entangle, it will appear that he has a small belly.

After a long silence, he said with a straight face, "I hope it's as you said."
