0023 【Director and Editing】
When I returned to the crew station, it happened to be the time to deliver lunch boxes.
"Su Ya, are you staying to have a box lunch together or going back to eat?" Wan Xiaohu grabbed a box lunch with more meat and turned to ask Su Ya. In his opinion, Su Ya should not be used to this kind of box lunch that costs five yuan per meal on the street.
Who knew that Su Ya took the lunch box directly from Liu Yang and looked at Wan Xiaohu: "I've come here, but you still can't bear to have a lunch box?"
"We tigers are mainly afraid that the food is too simplistic and that they are hungry. They are so kind to the fragrance and jade." Li Xia said in a narrow sentence.
Wan Xiaohu blew off the skin of the disposable chopsticks and shouted: "Eat your food, and you can't block your mouth."
Su Ya smiled and opened the lunch box: "Li Xia, the crew will not say I'm stingy, right?"
"How could it be? Which crew in Beijing now eats much better than what we eat here. This time I went to several crews and contacted the heroine Liu Rong to shoot scenes. I found that many crews ate three yuan each lunch box, and even the oil-foaming star was invisible." Li Xia said while eating.
Wan Xiaohu asked: "By the way, have the crew contacted me?"
"I'll do it, don't worry, everything will be done. The crew of "The Heroes Go to Guandong" has made an appointment for three days. The director is an old senior at Beijing Film Academy. He didn't want to invite him to dinner, and he did not charge any fees. He nodded directly."
"It's not bad, I'll buy two cigarettes another day. Let's go and visit and express my gratitude."
"OK, leave it to me."
After dinner, Su Ya kept the Volkswagen and took a taxi away. She had to go to class in the afternoon, and also found a suitable office for Dandelion Film Company, and prepared a contract to sign shares with Wan Xiaohu. There were a lot of things to do.
Wan Xiaohu led the crew to continue filming.
In the evening, Chen Chong brought back the copy of the city landscape film he had taken before.
I rented a projector, Wan Xiaohu and Chen Chong were in Zhang Yang's room, rewinding back and forth frame by frame, looking for shortcomings. Being a director is actually very boring. Everyone thinks the director is majestic, but in private, the work he has to do is really boring.
If you watch a movie three or five times, you may not want to watch it. What's more, Wan Xiaohu needs to watch a few fragmented scenes over and over again. After one night, his eyes were blurred.
"Adult, what time is it?"
"It's over one o'clock."
"It's already over 100 yuan, so don't watch it. Go to bed. You have to shoot tomorrow. Don't be too tired."
"Oh my God, I'm waiting for your words, the flowers are almost overwhelmed."
"Haha, I'm going to see how long you'll have to carry it."
"I really can't stand it anymore. By the way, what about you, why don't you go to sleep?"
"I'll look at it for a while."
"Tiger, don't work too hard, you have to be relaxed and relaxed in everything you do."
"I know, you sleep with you, hurry up."
Wan Xiaohu responded randomly, but was still indifferent. He always felt a sense of urgency, eager to get everything done, review the camera early, shoot the movie early, release early, become famous early, and then go to shoot other movies early. The wonderful time left for him is only fourteen years, and every minute and every second is particularly precious.
It was not until three o'clock in the morning that Wan Xiaohu took notes on the scene that needed to be re-shot tomorrow. He came to the bathroom, wiped his face randomly, soaked his feet in hot water, and fell on the bed and fell asleep...
Although "Waiting Alone" is a very simple urban love comedy, for a group of students with zero experience, how to shoot the movie well and make it more detailed in effective time. Not only the students feel the difficulty, but Wan Xiaohu also feel the difficulty.
Fifteen days after regular filming, the time points to March 25th.
Most of the plots of the movie are converted into tapes and films. Wan Xiaohu brought these contents to the editing room of Beijing Film Academy for the first time and tried to edit the movie into samples. The content shot by DV requires non-linear editing on the computer. When Wan Xiaohu played micro-films in his previous life, he did this for a long time and edited it very easily.
However, editing the film is a troublesome thing. Because film is linear editing and physical editing, it is necessary to integrate the DV content with the film content. Only by using magnetic glue technology to convert the DV content into film form and edit it together. Wan Xiaohu is reluctant to leave money and convert it back and forth, and can only mark the content that needs to be pieced together first.
After the movie is finished, we will seek to adapt.
However, after the first editing, Wan Xiaohu had a headache when he looked at the sample.
There is a big gap between it and the ideal content.
It’s not that the actors are not acting well, but that the connection between the cameras is very incoherent.
"What's wrong? Director Wan, frowning so tightly?" The management teacher in the editing room is Wang Youquan, an associate professor in the director department of Beijing Film Academy. He is in his fifties and has worked in many directors for TV series, movies, and TV programs. Because of his poor health, he retreated to the second line and was transferred to Beijing Film Academy to teach.
Wan Xiaohu smiled bitterly: "Professor Wang, don't let me down. I'm very worried now."
"What's going on? Is there something wrong with the movie?" Wan Xiaohu made a movie, and everyone in Beijing Film Academy knew about it. Wang Youquan asked this question.
"That's right." Wang Youquande was highly respected, and Wan Xiaohu was just complaining to him. "I made the movie "Waiting Alone", and it should be said that the sense of the picture has been well arranged, and I also recognized the actor's acting skills. But now after I edited it and looked at the effect, I found that my actors have insufficient coherence in acting, and there will always be a slight stagnation between the two shots."
"Is that true, I'll take a look."
Wan Xiaohu quickly replayed the sample.
After reading it halfway through Wang Youquan, he burst into laughter: "Xiaohu, why do I say to you? You really should go and take the editing course. Your editing ability is not at all!"
"What's going on?"
"You put the content of each shot aside."
After the single shot content was played one by one, Wang Youquan explained: "Look, although the actors are still very immature, they are students of Beijing Film Academy after all, and they are not bad in acting. The key is that your editing method is too monotonous. Have you noticed that your editing technique is too fast?"
“The pace is too fast?”
"When you look at this lens and this lens, you feel that the middle is not smooth, right?"
"Yes, does this have anything to do with my editing?"
"Why is it okay? I'll guide you. You can try to edit it again. Leave this shot for one more second, then delete this shot for two seconds. You can add this shot in the middle, and leave the head and tail to keep the three seconds in the middle. You can now see the effect."
When this clip was released, Wan Xiaohu immediately admired Wang Youquan. Jiang was still old, and Wang Youquan's editing immediately used the abandoned shots to eliminate the feeling of stagnation just now, making this clip look harmonious and unblocked.
Full of smoothness.
"Professor Wang, how did you do it?" Wan Xiaohu sincerely asked for advice.
Wang Youquan smiled with a very expert style and said: "A good director is not necessarily a good editor. This sentence is not without reason. It is not that the director cannot cut it well because he is reluctant to leave the scissors. Instead, many directors cannot distinguish the perspectives of the director and the audience, and often use the director's perspective to replace the audience's perspective..."
