I failed the third subject and I was almost a professional make-up exam. I was depressed... Please give me some recommendation votes to comfort me.

Everyone else looked over. With the assistance of Jessica Chastain, Murphy took off the Stenikon device on his body, put the camera on, looked up at the temporary shooting lights set up on the ceiling, "There is a problem with the lighting."

Carrie Mulligan, who was sitting in front of the counter, couldn't help but pat his chest gently, and breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension on his face dissipated a lot.

The first time she was officially filming, she didn't want to be interrupted because of her mistakes.

Murphy glanced at Carey Mulligan and saw all this, but said nothing. Carey Mulligan had good acting skills and talent, but he was an absolute newcomer. He was not old and rebellious and sensitive inside. At this time, it should be more encouragement rather than creating pressure.

He decided to ignore Carrey Mulligan for the time being and resolve the lighting problem on the temporary set first.

In fact, from the beginning of the shooting, Murphy discovered that there was something wrong with the lighting at the scene, but it continued until he found more problems and then stopped.

"John..." Murphy called Douglas, his lighting engineer, over, "The lighting needs to be completely corrected."

As he said that, he glanced at Douglas and could only sigh inwardly that it is the hard truth that the lighting technician hired for this picture is really average.

As early as when he was preparing to check the venue, Murphy explained to him the precautions for Bu Guang. When there was no actor on stage just now, it looked good through the camera lens, but after Carey Mulligan appeared in the camera, the pictures shot did not reach the expected effect at all.

However, Murphy did not get angry and didn't say much. After all, the shooting effect created by the on-site lighting is not only related to the lighting of the lighting artist, but also has nothing to do with the changes in the environment. Carrie Mulligan, wearing red clothes, appears on the set, which will also affect the color effect of the light.

"I told you before." Murphy hugged his chest, looked up at the main light hanging on the ceiling, and then looked at the auxiliary light placed on the floor, and then said, "The movie we filmed can be divided into the ranks of film noir! John, the light you use is too bright and soft."

The use of light in a low-cost movie with black color like "Fruit Hard Candy" is a profound and complex task, but it is extremely important for the filmmakers and actors.

Due to financial and technical limitations, some filmmakers created film noir, but this did not limit their talents, which prompted lighting to become a very important role in film noir.

Murphy once studied this aspect, so he chose films of this type of subject as the beginning of the entire plan. Unlike the bright lights I saw through the camera just now, dark lighting is the shooting lights that a film like "Fruit Hard Candy" should have.

Douglas was not completely incapable. After looking for a while, he pointed to a row of headlights facing the counter on the ceiling and said, "It should be better to change the settings of the main light."

Among the "three-light lights" that are common in film shooting, auxiliary light and backlight, the main light is usually the brightest, and it is precisely because of this that it is called the main light.

"No, no, no..." Murphy shook his finger, a little dissatisfied with Dougles' proposal, walked to the counter and turned around, saying, "Not only the main light, but the auxiliary light must also be changed, and a little background light must be added appropriately."

The auxiliary light is usually set opposite the main light to dissipate the shadows generated by the main light; the backlight is used to illuminate the outline of the entire scene and distinguish the subject from the background.

This will make Carrey Mulligan particularly stand out in the entire scene shot, and also emphasize her identity as the heroine.

After watching Douglas who was at a loss, Murphy sighed. Movie noir not only needs to use dark illumination, but also has hard enough light. He said, "The main light can be made of halogen lamps, so that the main light will only emit from one point, the light will be harder, and the hard light can better highlight the clear contour of the heroine."

Lightingist Douglas obviously lacked experience and just kept nodding and recording.

Murphy walked to the side of the auxiliary light stand placed on the floor opposite the main light, and said, "The auxiliary light is replaced with a matte light bulb, and the light emitted is softer, which makes her look more charming while highlighting the outline of the heroine."

The relative use of hard light and soft light can be said to be the symbol of lightning in movie noir.

After seeing Murphy finish speaking, Douglas walked to his toolbox and prepared to debug according to his method.

"John, wait first." Murphy called him. After all, he was not sure whether these methods could work. He turned around and waved to Old Lynch. After he came over, he said, "Is there a pick-up rod in the store? Longer sticks are OK."

"have,"

Lynch was dizzy when he heard the professional terms just now. He felt that Murphy was not only sinister and despicable, but also a person with real skills. At this time, he did not shirk his responsibilities and shouted to a clerk, "Take the long pole in the back kitchen."

The pickup was quickly sent to an intern in the crew.

No matter how good the idea was before, if you didn't shoot it in real time, you would not be able to find the problem. Murphy completely rejected the lighting plan formulated and overturned the lighting layout of the cafe shooting site. The lifting rod played a role at this time, fixing a working light bulb at one end of the lifting rod, and changing the position at any time, so that the effect of lighting the scene from different directions can be detected before lighting.

An inexperienced director who leads a group of staff who also lack successful experience will inevitably take many detours during filming.

The lighting has not been set up yet, and it will be at noon. According to the agreement signed by the crew and Old Lynch, lunch and drinks are provided free of charge by Midton Cafe.

Working when you are hungry is definitely not possible. If you don’t say anything else, it will first affect your work attitude. Murphy doesn’t believe that these people can work hard without eating.

After finishing my morning work, I let the crew have a meal first. When Murphy had a free lunch, I felt a little anxious because of the mistake.

Making mistakes means wasting time; wasting time will lead to overspending...

“My favorite is the free lunch.”

Sitting at a coffee table, Murphy said to Cara Fais, who was eating and enjoying fruit salad across the street, “meaning I can save a lot of money.”

Kara Fis looked at his salad without raising his head, "You're about to kill me."

"I don't want to do this either," Murphy said with a faint helplessness. "Those who have no money can only choose this way."

As the morning passed, he even more doubted whether the 300,000 US dollars of funds could be used.

Originally, Murphy had already seen his abilities low enough and estimated that he might encounter enough difficulties. When he actually started to operate, he realized that he was still too optimistic. It took several hours to solve the problem of light just?

Thinking of this, Murphy's face showed some sadness.

Cara Fais glanced at him, put down the spoon, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, threw it to Murphy, and said, "I have been promoted to deputy director of Channel 6, and I am still in charge of news."

Murphy looked at her in surprise. The promotion speed was too fast, right?

"Congratulations," he said.

"I should thank you." Carla Fais put his hands on the table. "If there is no Bill Road incident, I may still be the head of the night news department. You helped me open the road."

Putting down the knife and fork, Murphy picked up the tissue and said without hesitation, "How are you going to thank me?"

After saying that, he deliberately changed to a strange look and looked up and down at Kara Fes' tall and graceful body.

"I don't have a position as a supervisor here." Kara Fis did not take this trick at all, and reiterated the old saying, "I need someone who is motivated, responsible and dares to take risks."

Murphy thought for a while, “If my project fails, I will consider it.”

Kara Fis shrugged and said nothing.

The person on the other side helped her a lot, and she admired him very much, and there was a certain friendship between the two, so she prepared a way out for him.

Murphy knew this, and Cara Fais knew Murphy could understand what she meant.

The two gradually became silent, and they only occasionally communicated with their eyes. On a table not too far away from Murphy, a pair of bright eyes would look over from time to time.

Carey Mulligan sat on a high-back chair, dug up a spoonful of beans and put them into his mouth. After chewing it a few times, he swallowed it into his stomach. James Franco, who was sitting at the same table, immediately reminded, "Hey, eat slowly, be careful to choke."

"You can do it!" Carey Mulligan glared at James Franco without curiosity and asked the intern on the left, "Paul, who is that woman?"

"Which?" Paul Wilson didn't understand who she was talking about.

Carey Mulligan gestured with his eyes, "The person sitting opposite Murphy."

Paul Wilson shook his head gently, "I don't know you either."

"I know." James Franco responded, "I know her."

"Who is she?" Carrey Mulligan couldn't help but ask, "Is Murphy's girlfriend?"

"No..." James Franco deprecated without a trace, "Murphy has invested all his money in the movie we filmed. Now he is a pauper. Which woman will be so stupid as to fall in love with him?"

"That's Murphy's pursuit!" Carrey Mulligan defended, "Dare to pursue his goals regardless of everything."

James Franco showed a slightly sarcastic smile, "Haha..."

Carey Mulligan immediately stared at him, "I don't want to talk to you anymore."

"Hey, my dear," James Franko said dissatisfied, "Don't forget that I brought your lunch box for you, and the water you drank in the morning was also prepared for you..."

"I didn't let you do it!"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Carrey Mulligan in a resounding manner, "If you don't want to do it, no one will force you."

"I'm going to make preparations." She jumped out of the chair and walked towards the makeshift dressing room.
Chapter completed!
