Vol 2 Chapter 44: MTV shooting (1)

. "The environment is mainly white, with a swivel chair in the middle, as long as the sofa and electric lights are around. It should be modern and simple at the same time. Wait for the lens to shoot from the top down, and the light should not be too strong." Faced with the lighting engineer, props engineer, cameraman, field reporter, and associate director, etc., Angela calmly stated his requirements, "Basically, is there any problem? Everyone?"
"If the electric lights in the studio are on, you can only turn on one light if you don't want the light to be too strong, but then the light will be slightly weaker, so you must add a few reflectors around." The opening is the lighting engineer.
The girl was about to answer, and the assistant director around her, Matthew Andre, who was slightly thankful in her forties, had already spoken first: "Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong, but you need to discuss with Mr. Allen about the specific position. Pay attention to his shooting angle. "
"With white as the base, there is no black long multi-seater sofa. Can I use single?" The next question was the props division.
Angela didn't speak again this time, and Matthew immediately answered: "First is the simplicity, then the sofa style. As long as Miss Angela approves, it doesn't matter what kind of sofa!"
At this point, no one spoke anymore. After the girl coughed slightly, she clapped her hands: "Well, if it's okay, let's do it!"
People quickly dispersed, busy with the work at hand, and Angela breathed a sigh of relief. Instead of rushing to make up, she carefully observed what everyone was doing.
"Are you nervous?" Matthew asked suddenly beside him.
"No ..." Even though the girl said so, she could not help but chuckled when she saw the other person's smile, and admitted frankly: "Well, I've never been so nervous."
"This is normal. After all, this is the first time you have been in charge of the guide. To be honest, I have served as an assistant director of many music videos, and also worked as an assistant director of movies. There are many newcomers who have no experience at all. . There are more people who can handle the situation than you, and there are more people who can speak than you, but there are really very few people hiding the tension under the calm like you are, it is indeed a genius girl. "Matthew said with a smile.
"But you see it, don't you?" Angela shrugged.
"That's because your behavior revealed a little bit." The other person shook his head with a smile. "Generally speaking. The director is only responsible for grasping the entire scene. The specific scheduling is given to the assistant director. So you just need to tell them the scene in your mind just now. There is no need to ask any questions. Then It's all my business. "
"Then why do they ..." The girl didn't understand.
"It's very simple. There are also personal directors. Just after I took the conversation. The second time you still let me talk. So I can see a little." Matthew said, spreading his hands.
"Okay. It looks like I haven't done enough homework yet." Angela sighed with a grin. But then he cheered up: "But. It doesn't matter. I think you will help me. Really. Matthew?"
"Of course." The other nodded. "I'm your deputy director."
"Thank you. Please help me watch them for a while. I'm going to put on makeup. I'm an actor and a director. It's not easy." The girl said with a smile. Then walk to the dressing room.
Although she encountered a small setback at the beginning, Angela was not discouraged. She firmly believed that she could do a good job. David told her that in order to become a director, two conditions must be met: one was to be connected. You can clearly express the scenes you need, so that every staff member understands; second, you must understand what you want, and always ensure that there are clear pictures and scenes in your head!
In this regard, Angela is not worried at all. For her who has worked hard in past and present life and can recall the complete mtv, the second one is not a problem at all! And the first one, isn't Matthew helping? As long as you give yourself time to study hard, there will be no problem!
Beyond that. The girl also added another rule to herself: always be confident! Either to others or to yourself! Anyway. She is currently only 14 years old physically, and even those staff members assigned to her by Disney are highly professional. But she didn't mean to read jokes in her heart, so before she took out something convincing, she must tell them with this gesture that I can do it! This is an attempt and a test. You must know that Angela's goal is not just to shoot mtv!
"Are you ready?" Angela sat on the swivel chair and looked at the camera. Her hair was straightened, a dark brown shoulderless shirt with pure white skinny pants, and black high-heeled short leather The boots made her look lively, playful, and slightly charming.
Matthew made an ok gesture to her, and the girl nodded and called: "The first act, the first act, start a test shoot!"
With the slamming of the field note board, the music immediately rang, and then Angela took the chair and began to rotate at a constant speed, and at the same time lip-shaped and made various actions. She should have stood up after turning the chair twice. After the chair stopped, the girl was still sitting and not moving, frowning and thinking about something, and then cried, "cu!"
Immediately everyone stopped, Angela left the swivel chair and came behind the camera, and said to the cameraman Allen, "Please show me the picture just now."
Allen still turned the screen back on the monitor and played it back. The girl watched her performance intently. After watching it twice, she shook her head: "It really doesn't work!"
"What's the problem?" Matthew asked quickly beside him.
Angela glanced at him, still shaking her head and not talking. She lowered her head and walked around the circle a few times before she said, "Let's try again, it's still a trial shot!"
The staff did what she said. The previous shooting time was very short. It didn't matter from the beginning, but after two turns of the chair, Angela stopped again.
"Slightly better, but it still doesn't work." The girl who came over and watched the monitor twice again shook her head and said, "I have to think again."
She glanced at Matthew, who was still talking, and then pointed to the monitor: "You can see, Matthew, I think you should see the cause of the problem."
Talking. The girl left the monitor and turned around again. She realized that she had made a mistake. In fact, she should first take a shot of a crowd of actors. The whole mtv is roughly divided into two parts, one is that the singer sings indoors, and the other is that people outside watch on TV. Then resonated in the singing.
And Angela's problem now is that she can't change her identity between the director and the actor. She was still conceiving the picture in the last second, explaining her intentions to the people around her, and smiling at the camera the next second. This feeling of singing and dancing is undoubtedly very strange.
Of course, for Angela who has been switching between different roles since she was a child, this is not a serious problem, just give her time. She can adjust soon, but the point is that she needs time now. Facing these staff, she needs to shoot something as soon as possible to prove herself!
So she felt that she had made a mistake. If she first filmed the actors and actresses of the masses, she would not have to spend so much time changing roles, but she would do the director work wholeheartedly.
"Or we can stop shooting and take other shots that don't need your appearance for the time being?" Matthew came over at this time and whispered, after all, he has rich experience and soon saw the problem.
"This is not possible. Just set the scene just now, always take something out." Angela shook her head slightly, negating the other party's opinion.
"No, no, Angela, this kind of thing often happens. As long as the director feels dissatisfied, there is no reason whatsoever, remove and rebuild." Matthew whispered, "You should understand. On the set, the director has absolute Land rights! "
"But the question is, can a 14-year-old child who is in charge of the guide for the first time make good use of this absolute right?" The girl asked immediately, looking at Matthew brightly, "Dare you say that you never have Don't you think so? "
Matthew scratched his head awkwardly, some speechless, Angela patted his arm and smiled: "Okay. Don't say that. Believe me, I can do it well! So. Please you help me!"
Followed the girl to the center of the venue, clapped her hands, and shouted to all the staff: "Okay guys, we may come again, the progress may be slow, but I hope everyone can maintain a high spirit of fighting, I have confidence in myself You have no reason to be a bit younger than me, unless you were too busy last night. "
There was a chuckle around.
"So, okay, let's continue!" As she said, Angela took a deep breath, sat back in her chair, and then made an ok gesture over the camera. After knocking down the board, the music sounded again.
Maybe it was because of a call that made her slightly vented. At this moment, her spirit was as concentrated as ever. After turning around the chair twice with a smile, she stood up and followed the music to the mouth. Various actions were smoothly performed in front of the camera, and the camera continued to shoot along the lens until Matthew shouted, "OK, very good!"
Angela immediately stopped her movements, converged, and hurried to the back of the monitor. She rewinded and looked up. On the screen, she stood up with one hand on the chair, sang and walked, and then came to the sofa. Suddenly sitting down, her legs followed the cross, blinking, playful and charming, this series of moves in one go, done perfectly.
"Very good! This shot is over!" The girl finally couldn't hold back, and jumped up, exclaiming excitedly and happily.
The staff around seemed to whisper in a sigh of relief, and then they didn't know who was applauding first. It was sparse at first, and everyone soon applauded.
"Thank you! Thank you!" The girl finally suppressed her inner excitement, nodded around, and waved her hands vigorously. "This is just the beginning! Let ’s continue working hard!"
