Lan Jieying had more scenes today, and Wu Changyun, who had nothing to do, followed Wang Jing to watch.
"I'll come this way."
Wu Changyun took the bulky camera and looked at the picture through the viewfinder. Lan Jieying's makeup looked good, but due to the shooting angle, she looked like a short-legged carrot.
Of course Wu Changyun knew that this was not the right approach, so he adjusted the angle. Now Anita Mui looked more normal, but other people, especially Uncle Tat, appeared fatter.
Wu Changyun frowned. Generally, the cameraman would not care about questions like this.
Because movies have their own process, every step is carried out step by step.
It's like what kind of light to use at what time, the visual language corresponding to the lens focal length, and what angle to use when taking pictures of people. Of course, there is also a big premise before all of this, which is that you must satisfy your boss.
Wu Changyun was very dissatisfied, so the entire scene was reshot.
This time, Wu Changyun carried the camera himself.
"Director Wu, how do we set up the lighting?"
The lighting master came over and asked, in case Wu Changyun had any other requirements, it would be better for him to ask first.
"It's okay, just follow the original plan."
Wu Changyun stared at the image in the viewfinder. It was not like the 21st century when shooting had external display screens. Although the camera had this function, it was at best a secondary viewfinder and was far from being called a display screen.
Therefore, only the person holding the camera knows what was captured in this footage.
"Director Wu, would you like to brighten the lights in the room?"
Wang Jing asked, the light in the room is dim now. It is 1:30 in the afternoon, which is when the light outside is the most glaring. It is also a time period when the color temperature gradually rises. Even indoors, you can feel the slightly dim yellow light.
The place where they filmed was an inn, where there was a large ceiling light with very high power, probably several kilowatts.
Because direct light is destructive, and due to the idle equipment, they could only use a spherical soft light, and large lighting equipment could not be brought in.
"It's okay. When filming a TV series like this, remember not to be too picky."
Wu Changyun didn't even raise his head, looking at the picture in the viewfinder. He had to adjust the difference between his left and right eyes.
Because the viewfinder area is very limited, even experienced photographers will feel that the picture on the side of their eyes is a little cramped when they first start using it.
Often, novice cameramen do not leave enough white space on the side of the eye, which is also a problem of human vision.
After about five minutes, Wu Changyun became completely familiar with the machine.
In fact, for many laymen, movie cameras are high-end, something that ordinary people cannot understand, and it is very complicated.
In fact, this is not the case. The more expensive and complicated some machines are, the more difficult they are to use. However, this is not the case with movie cameras.
This may be biased. To put it another way, if a novice who is new to camera has a basic understanding of movie cameras, he can also take good pictures.
This is related to the format of the camera. There were already many civilian cameras in the 1980s, and civilian cameras were also divided into several grades.
This is an old routine of Sony. Basically, every time they launch a product every year, they check for deficiencies and make up for them, and no product is perfect.
After all, if you want to pursue perfection, you have to work hard on the format of the machine.
The format mentioned here is the unique charm of movie cameras. Although today's movie cameras are still not very mature, after all, the era of film ended only a few years ago.
In the early days, civilian cameras were often not very good.
It is literally not easy to use. A qualified camera or DV camera should at least have a sufficiently accurate screen.
Because the only way for people to obtain information is through that small screen. If the screen has color difference or insufficient resolution, it cannot display the details captured by the camera, or cannot accurately display the exposure level.
Then people can only judge based on experience. Obviously, it is not humane to leave the screen to judge whether the picture they took is good-looking.
Surprisingly, even in the 21st century before Wu Changyun traveled through time, Sony still had this problem. It was not that they did not have the technology, but that they were unwilling to do so.
Including the Sony machine that Wu Changyun is currently using, which costs about 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.
A civilian camera only costs less than 5,000 Hong Kong dollars. How big the difference is, of course, needs to be evaluated by the users themselves. Sony is just helping users in this environment, allowing them to more clearly distinguish between high-end and low-end.
No matter where people come from, they all have a very strange way of thinking.
Even if it is something that is worn inside clothes, or can only be used at home and not seen by outsiders, as long as it is valuable enough, it will awaken people's vanity.
This problem naturally exists for something as expensive as a camera.
Wu Changyun is actually much more professional than many Hong Kong directors who are also cameramen. This type of camera has a high tolerance. Basically, as long as the picture you see in the viewfinder is not particularly outrageous, there will be no problem with the footage.
It's funny to say, but this is only because he has a screen that has no cutting-edge technology and can be made with materials worth a few thousand or a few hundred dollars. For a machine that costs 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, people feel that the most obvious experience improvement comes from the screen.
Although Wu Changyun knew this, many great directors had never even used civilian cameras.
"Fix your posture."
Wu Changyun was carrying the camera and couldn't make any big movements. Looking at Anita Mui through the viewfinder, her body shape was exactly like Wan Xia's, especially her neck.
"good."
Lan Jieying's movements were a little nervous, as she was afraid that she would waste everyone's time.
In fact, she had practiced very well, but problems would arise whenever she was nervous.
"Don't be nervous, it's okay."
Wu Changyun comforted Anita Mui and asked her to try not to appear too embarrassed in front of the camera. In fact, the scenes with each other were okay, after all, they didn't have to look at the camera when talking. If it was a monologue or a fighting scene, it really required a certain level of psychological quality.
"Yeah, okay."
Anita Mui agreed, and after the sound of the power on, the camera was turned on.
"Ah, you bastard, I finally meet you here again."
Lan Jieying ran to the door and saw Duan Hai (played by Stephen Chow) sitting behind the front desk counting money, and then walked in aggressively.
"stop."
Wu Changyun quickly called a halt because Lan Jieying's two steps looked so childish.
