The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2314

[2277 Global control]

Angus and May-Bell have conflicting emotions, and they don’t know whether to be happy or worried: it turns out that they have not been forgotten by Renly, and Renly has not played big cards in a defiant way; however, after the little stormy sea just now , The emotions of the two people are a little tense, as if they are challenging the high-altitude wire, the idea of turning around and running away is still surging in their minds, and there is an irresistible temptation/temptation.

Fortunately, Renly’s words quickly made them fall into thinking, and there is no time to think about the survival probability of fleeing, or to put them collectively into a ditch?

“Garis, we can notice changes in the light on set, which is obviously a very important part of the scene; but what about that? Are the shots close-up, medium, long-range, or panorama? How high and low are the camera positions? And when the characters are in dialogue, what is the state of the depth of field of the position of the dialogue character in the camera, and the position of the other actors in the camera? Most importantly, what is the emotion of the camera you want to convey? Tension? Confrontation? Or What?”

Everyone was stunned, aren’t these states of being a director?

What does it have to do with these actors?

But Gareth showed a contemplative look, and the depth and focus in his eyes showed the activity of his brain.

“During the performance, there are spotlights on each actor’s face, which means that the details of the expressions can be clearly captured by the camera; but the composition of the picture and the trajectory of the shots are showing the relationship between the characters and the overall atmosphere, which again It means that the actor’s performance cannot be too trivial or too delicate, otherwise it will be lost. Now, each of us has a different understanding of the camera, the most important thing is that we cannot understand the director’s pursuit, and the final performance state will be presented. , it cannot be accurately captured by the camera.”

Angus and May Bell were still full of confusion, they could understand every word of Renly, but when combined, it was like a book from heaven.

Felicity’s thoughts gradually recovered, and those bright eyes looked at Renly with anticipation and excitement. All the clues were connected, and the chaotic and noisy brain became clear again, and everything made sense. Those obstacles and difficulties disappeared in an instant.

Gareth still maintained a state of absolute concentration, “You mean, the lights try to capture the state of each character, and the picture tries to capture the atmosphere of the audience, there is a conflict between the two, and the actors are not sure during the performance. How should I grasp the proportions, and finally destroy the fluency and integrity of the whole. Overall, the details are correct and the connections are correct, but the overall blueprint is wrong?”

“No, no, no.” Renly He shook his head again and again, “You should clarify whether you want a part or a whole, and then let us get on the right track.”

“Judging from the requirements you just made for me, you are actually more inclined to the overall effect,

so you I hope my performance can be more restrained, but you don’t want to miss the depth and depth of the characters in the camera, so I was convinced. No, this is not what we want, you should leave the performance space for us Yourself, but the premise is that you need to delineate the scope of the performance space and give a directional target, which is correct.”

Renly’s further explanation failed to make Gareth realize in an instant, but entered another bull’s horn, brows. He said tightly, “Performance space? I don’t know anything about performances, I only know if your performances are within my lens, whether they are appropriate or not…”

“Yes, this is what we need!” Renly said. Cut off Gareth, and then Gareth can be seen looking up in bewilderment, and he has to go on to explain, “Your footage! That’s what we need!”

“Remember? It’s a sci-fi movie, computer effects. It must take up a lot of space. What does this mean? It means that our actors have no way of knowing what the final effect of the shots and pictures will be. Even if we go behind the monitor and watch the live playback, we may not be able to imagine the whole blueprint, only You know, you know how grand the scene is, you know how gorgeous the picture is, it’s all in your head.”

“On the set, you control the entire scene by arranging the trajectory of the camera and the depth of field of the picture. Now, you have to tell us, for example, this is a panorama, the focus is on Felicity, the actors and the camera. How much distance is there, how much emotional intensity do you need the actors to show, and the rest is left to us.” In

short, the actors need the director to hand over the ruler so that they can adjust their performances.

Renly’s explanation finally woke Gareth, “Aha! Is that the reason? Is that why those performances are so stiff and out of proportion?”

Is this referring to “Rogue One” or “Brother” Sla”?

The actors at the scene were a little confused: Do you want to be sad?

Do you want to refute yourself?

Will Gareth speak?

“Of course, there are also important differences in the actors themselves.” Renly shrugged and made a joke. The subtext seemed to say: If it was me, it would be different.

Inadvertently, I pushed the words of Gareth to “Godzilla”, pretending that there was no problem with the performance of “Rogue One”.

The relaxed and cheerful tone made everyone stunned, and then they laughed together, especially Angus and May Bell, who were in the fog, laughed extraordinarily or even a little too exaggeratedly.

Gareth also chuckled, “Sure, that’s for sure.” Then he cut to the point, “Mid shot, what I need is a mid shot. The light will lock on Renly and Felicity. , so, I guess, Angus, your performance should be a little more restrained; and May should be a little more extroverted, because you are at the far end of the medium shot, the camera can’t capture your emotions, and, yes, for you The lighting is not spotlight but astigmatism, and your performance needs a focal point, otherwise the lens will be very…scattered?”

Gareth himself wasn’t quite sure.

“As for Renly and Felicity, I believe you’ll handle it well. The last rivalry scene felt good, but the strength needs to be reduced.” Gareth was not good at pointing and performing, so he didn’t go on.

After the explanation, Gareth patted Renly on the shoulder hesitantly and embarrassedly, but his movements were very stiff, “Thank you for your suggestion.” Then he quickly turned and left, and the back of the fleeing back made people couldn’t help laughing.

The atmosphere was a little dull.

Angus and May Bell are still digesting, and what happened in just five minutes is so ups and downs that they are still somewhat unable to react.

Felicity carefully pondered those conversations and understood the performance from the director’s overall perspective. This is still a bit esoteric and complicated to her, and she doesn’t understand what it means for a while; but she can understand the effect of depth of field changes on the details of the performance. The performance of the close-up and the long-term view is definitely different, and Renly specifically asked Garis and asked Garis to complete the composition of the picture. So, does this mean that in the performance of commercial films, actors need to More with the director?

This is an idea to break the stereotype!

The most common type of Hollywood commercial film is Lone Man, from Harrison Ford and Tom Cruise, to Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger, to Will Smith and Johnny Depp, Even the star-studded Robert Downey Jr., the personal charisma of these heroes is the biggest reason for the success of the movie. Naturally, the core highlights of the entire movie are often concentrated on these absolute protagonists, even at the expense of letting the whole story be theirs. His charisma gives way, so much so that it destroys the structural balance of the film.

As for the director?

“The iron-clad Cruise, the flowing director”, the director’s ability and charm must serve the actors, and their roles are easily overlooked.

Now Renly has broken such a rule, obviously not because the protagonist is Felicity, and he is trying to steal Felicity’s lightning in a vile way, but to give the film and character more possibilities.

More importantly, this is the way of performance suitable for Felicity: in the trend of the performance direction of the big frame, find her own rhythm, use her way to interpret the role of Jean-Erso, with delicate and The richness of emotion to show the character’s growth is like Renly’s Cassian.

“Renly, can we go over the lines again?” Felicity looked up at Renly, “I mean, off-camera, I want to try to figure out how Jean’s feeling…”

“Exactly, I too Need to adjust the degree of Zhang Chi.” Before Felicity could finish speaking, Renly actively agreed.

For Renly, he, too, needs to adjust.

Gareth emphasized it again, UU reading www.

sonicmtl.com He still hoped that Renly would calm down a little bit, maybe because his mind turned upside down and he simply forgot the conversation before the argument; maybe because in his heart he always thought that Renly’s performance had created an overall imbalance.

Renly wouldn’t blame Gareth for being outspoken. In fact, in order to guide Felicity into a performance state, Renly did go a little too hard, the tension was a little too intense, and the details were too much. It is too cumbersome, and it is indeed possible to make a certain degree of adjustment.

As for Felicity, she had to rearrange her thinking:

what exactly did Jyn-Erso feel about her father, how did she respond to the rebels’ questioning, and how did she face the ensuing request for help? Digestive understanding?

What is Jean-Erso’s feelings about the rebels themselves, and, what are her feelings when the rebels “kidnapped” her?

Going a step further, in the face of Cassian’s aggressive posture, what kind of character is she, resisting?

dissatisfied?

Hold your breath?

And based on this, how should we grow in the future?

What should the performance curve be like?

It is true that the performance needs to be concise, direct, restrained and efficient; but if the context curve of the entire performance cannot be determined, then the character is still a paper man after all.
