Chapitre 39: Chapter 39: Multitude of difficulties
Subject three hung up, almost become a supplementary examination professional, depressed in ah ... everyone more to come a little recommendation votes to comfort it.
Everyone else looked over, Murphy, assisted by Jessica Chastain, removed the Stanikon device on his body, and after putting the camera in place, he raised his head to look at the lights temporarily set up for filming on the ceiling, "There's a problem with the cloth light."
Sitting at the counter, Carey Mulligan couldn't help but pat her own chest gently and let out a breath, the tension on her face dispersing quite a bit.
The first official shoot, she didn't want it to be interrupted because she made a mistake.
Murphy glanced at Carey Mulligan, took it all in, but didn't say anything, Carey Mulligan's acting credits and talent are still okay, but is a newcomer without compromise, and is not too old, rebellious and sensitive at heart, this time should be more of an encouragement, rather than creating pressure.
He decided to ignore Carey Mulligan for the time being, and first solve the problem of lighting the temporary set.
In fact, from the beginning of the shooting, Murphy realized that there was a problem with the lighting on the set, but continued until he found more problems, which led him to call a halt.
"John ...," Murphy called his lighting technician Douglas over, "the lighting needs to be fully corrected."
Said, he looked at Douglas, can only secretly sigh a lot of times a penny a penny is the hard truth, this figure cheap hired lighting engineer, the ability is really very general.
As early as in the pre-preparation to check the venue, Murphy explained to him the precautions of lighting, just when there is no actor on the stage, through the camera lens looks good, but after Carey Mulligan appeared in the camera, the shot simply can not reach the expected effect.
But Murphy didn't get angry and didn't say much, after all, the shooting effect created by the lighting on the set is not only related to the lighting technician's lighting, but also can't be dissociated from the changes in the environment, and the appearance of Kerry Mulligan on the set in a red dress will also affect the color effect of the light.
"I told you before." Murphy clasped his hands to his chest and looked up first at the main lights hanging from the ceiling and then at the auxiliary lights placed on the floor before saying, "This movie we're shooting can be classified into the category of film noir! John, the lights you used are too bright and soft."
The use of lighting in a small-budget film with noir overtones like Fruit Hard Candy is a profoundly complex task, yet extremely important to the filmmakers and actors.
Some filmmakers create film noir due to financial and technological limitations, but that doesn't limit their talents, which has led to lighting becoming a very important role in film noir.
Once upon a time Murphy studied this aspect, which is why he chose this type of subject matter as the beginning of the whole program, and unlike the bright lights that he had just seen through the camera, dark toned lighting is what a film like Fruity Hard Candy should be shot with.
Douglas wasn't completely incapable, and after looking at it for a while, pointing to the row of headlights on the overhead that faced the counter, he said, "Change the main light setting and it should be better."
In the "three-light setup" of main light, auxiliary light, and backlight that was common in movie shooting, the main light setting was usually the brightest, and because of that, it was called the main light.
"No, no, no ..." Murphy shook his finger, a little dissatisfied with Douglas's proposal, walked to the counter and turned around, said, "not only the main light, auxiliary light also need to change, in addition to adding a little background light appropriately. "
Auxiliary light, usually set on the opposite side of the main light, is used to dissipate the shadows created by the main light; backlighting is used to illuminate the outline of the entire scene, distinguishing the subject from the background.
This would make Carey Mulligan stand out in the entire scene that had been shot, and would emphasize her as the heroine.
Looking at Douglas who was at a loss, Murphy sighed, film noir should not only be lit with dark tones, the light should also be hard enough, said, "The main light can use halogen lamps, so that the main light will only be emitted from a single point, the light will be harder, and the hard light will be more able to emphasize the female lead's clear contours."
The lighting technician Douglas was obviously inexperienced and just kept nodding his head to take notes.
Murphy walked over to the auxiliary light stand placed on the floor across from the main light and added, "The auxiliary light is replaced with a frosted bulb that emits a softer light, which can make the heroine appear more glamorous while emphasizing her silhouette."
The relative use of hard and soft light can be said to be the hallmark of film noir lighting.
Seeing that Murphy had finished, Douglas walked over to his toolbox, ready to adjust it according to his method.
"John, wait a minute." Murphy, however, called out to him, after all, he wasn't sure if these methods would work, turned to Old Lynch's side and waved, and when he came over, said, "Do you have a picket stick in the store? A longer stick will do."
"Yes."
Just now that string of technical terms, the old Lynch heard dizzily, feeling that Murphy is not only sinister and despicable, but should also be a person with real skills, at this time, without any excuse, shouted to one of the clerks, "Bring the long picket sticks from the back kitchen over."
The picket pole was quickly delivered to the hands of an intern on the crew.
Previously envisioned no matter how good, not on-site shooting, but also unable to find out where the problem lies, Murphy completely vetoed the formulation of the lighting plan, the cafe shooting location of the lighting set all over again, picket this time to play a role, a working bulb is fixed to the end of the picket, at any time to be able to change the position, so that before the lighting, the effect of the test from different directions on the scene to the subject of the light.
With an inexperienced director leading a crew that also lacked the experience to succeed, the shoot was bound to take a lot of detours.
Before the lights were set up, noon arrived, and according to the agreement signed between the crew and Old Lynch, lunch as well as drinks were provided free of charge by the Mittens Café.
Working hungry is definitely not good, not to mention other things, first of all, it will affect the work attitude, Murphy does not believe that these people do not eat and still be hungry and work hard.
End of the morning's work, first let the crew meal, Murphy ate a free lunch, because the mistake a little anxious mood a little better.
Making mistakes means wasting time; wasting time leads to overhead overruns ...
"Free lunch, my favorite."
Sitting at a coffee table, Murphy ate while talking to Carla Faith, who was enjoying a fruit salad across the table, "Means I can save a ton of money."
Kara Faith looked at her salad without looking up, "You're about to be stingy."
"I don't want to," Murphy's words were tinged with a faint sense of helplessness, "It's the only option for people who don't have money."
As the morning passed, he became even more skeptical that three hundred thousand dollars would be enough.
Originally, Murphy had already looked at his own ability low enough, estimating the difficulties that might be encountered enough, and when he really operated, he realized that he was still too optimistic in his thinking, and just a lighting problem took several hours without being completely solved ...
Thinking about this, Murphy's face appeared more or less a little bit of sorrow.
Carla Faith glanced at him, put down her spoon, took out a paper napkin and wiped her mouth, threw another one to Murphy, and said, "I've been promoted to deputy director of Channel 6, still in charge of news operations."
Murphy looked at her in surprise, this promotion was too fast, right?
"Congratulations." He said.
"It's me who should be thanking you." Kara Faith crossed her arms on the table, "Without the Bill Road incident I might still be the head of the nightly news department, and you're the one who helped me open up that path."
Putting down his knife and fork, Murphy picked up a paper towel and said nonchalantly, "How are you going to thank me?"
After saying that, he deliberately changed to a strange gaze, looking up and down at Carla Faith's tall and delicate body.
"I'm missing a supervisor position here." Carla Faith didn't eat this at all, repeating the old words, "I need someone who is motivated, responsible, and dare to take risks."
Murphy thought for a moment, "If my project fails, I'll consider it."
Kara Faith shrugged and didn't say anything else.
The person on the opposite side had done her a great favor, she also appreciated him, and there was a certain amount of friendship between the two, which was why she had prepared a back road for him.
Murphy was clear about this, and Carla Faith also knew that Murphy could understand what she meant.
Silence grew between the two, only occasionally making some eye contact, and at a table not too far away diagonally across from Murphy, a pair of bright eyes would look over every now and then.
Carey Mulligan sat in one of the high-backed chairs, scooped up a spoonful of beans, brought it to his mouth, and swallowed it without chewing for a few moments, and James Franco, who was seated at the same table, immediately warned, "Hey, slow down, watch out for choking."
"Mind your own business!" Carey Mulligan gave James Franco a non-curious glare and asked the intern to his left, "Paul, who's that woman?"
"Which one?" Paul Wilson didn't understand who she was talking about.
Carey Mulligan signaled with a wink, "The one sitting across from Murphy."
Paul Wilson shook his head gently, "I don't recognize either."
"I recognize." James Franco picked up, "I know her."
"Who is she?" Carey Mulligan couldn't help the question in her mind, "Murphy's girlfriend?"
"Not ...," James Franco demeaned without a trace, "All of Murphy's money went into the movie we're making, and now he's a pauper, what woman would be stupid enough to look at him? "
"That's because Murphy has a quest!" Carey Mulligan defended, "Daring to pursue his goals despite everything."
James Franco revealed a slightly mocking smile, "Heh ..."
Carey Mulligan immediately glares at him, "I don't want to talk to you anymore."
"Hey honey," James Franco said disgruntled, "Don't forget, I picked up your lunch box for you and I prepared the water you drank this morning for you ..."
"I didn't ask you to!"
He didn't finish his sentence before Carey Mulligan interrupted with a perky, "No one's forcing you to do it if you don't want to."
"I'm going to go get ready." She hopped out of her chair and headed for the makeshift dressing room.
Sending Carla Faith away, Murphy announced the start of the afternoon's work, and the difficulties continued to abound.
