Hollywood Road

After the filming kicked off in Belfast, the first thing Murphy did was to adjust the shooting style of all the photographers in the crew through a large number of on-site shooting. These frequently NG scenes were mainly extras and landscape shots. The filming is the main feature. The photographers of each group take turns to take turns, and then Murphy and Philip Raschel gather them together to watch the filmed video material and solve specific problems.

Different from the two-camera or three-camera shooting commonly used in movie shooting, because the crew will be divided into three afterwards, neither the number of photographers nor the number of shots can be compared to a film.

Although Murphy and Philip Raschel focused on the issue of filming style when recruiting photographers, no two photographers in this world have exactly the same style and work style, especially those first. Photographers who once cooperated with Murphy must have a process of adaptation if they want to meet Murphy's requirements.

Murphy’s fame lies here now. It is only good to cooperate with him. The photographers have done their best to pay attention to their work to ensure the fit of their shots.

There are no two photographers in the world that have exactly the same style, but they can become a closely working team with enough communication and work together. At the same time, the shot materials can be very similar in vision. Therefore, Murphy and the entire film crew have been adhering to the idea of ​​close integration.

Before shooting their respective parts, the photographers constantly compared their shooting logs at Murphy's request. They also used the PIX system online sample platform to preview each other's samples through a secure connection, using Philip Rasher In the words of Er, it is to make "Game of Thrones" a super cooperative "interconnected giant."

Although everyone knows the importance of communication in shooting, in fact, Murphy and the photographers are busy at all times, so there is no guarantee that they will have time to chat every day, but they will still try to read their shooting logs, often Watch other people's shots on Pix.

Like the entire crew, the photographers share the same work team.

During the first week of shooting, all of this helped the photographers understand what each other was doing, what they needed to do, and how to do it.

For example, when Seth Rogen directed a night scene, the crew hung a huge moon-shaped box under the crane as a luminous body. Murphy came to the set to take a look at it and said that he liked the installation very much, and Decided to use it in some of his night scenes.

This kind of mutual learning is widespread in the crew, Murphy and all the photographers strive to keep the lens consistent

During the period before the crew was divided into three, Murphy really united the photographers so that they could learn from each other and make progress together.

During shooting, for all location scenes with good lighting conditions, Murphy tried his best to let David Robbie use natural light sources to adjust the lighting, so as to make the shots closer to the natural reality. These natural light sources, whether they come from sunlight or Fire, saturation, and color are all more expressionistic, looking more pronounced and dramatic.

After half a month of adjustments, the crew got on the right track step by step. Murphy also got a lot of extras and landscape footage, and then the main actors arrived on the set of the Titanic Museum in Belfast. The intricate relationship between the major families in Westeros will require Murphy to clearly and unmistakably present with the camera lens in the next three months.

In the huge open-air studio, dozens of staff members, under the command of Murphy’s assistant directors, were busy with their work in an orderly manner. Two cameras were set up on a preset track, and one camera was hung on it. Under the long boom, the microphone used for on-site recording was also installed on the pick pole. Two sound engineers and assistants kept debugging to achieve the recording effect Murphy wanted.

The next thing I will shoot is a night scene, but during the day, as in the past, most of the night scenes Murphy will still be shot during the day, and will be adjusted later.

"Philip, the lens of Unit Two has dropped fifteen degrees."

Sitting behind the monitor, Murphy looked at the test shot and said loudly to Philip Raschel, who was in charge of the filming crew, "The boom is lowered three feet and the camera is shot at a thirty-degree angle! Moving two feet away, the camera angle remains the same."

It takes some time to adjust the shooting lens and angle in each session. Philip Raschel adjusted the camera according to Murphy's requirements. Murphy left his position as director and walked to the two actors who had just entered the set. They performed a trial walk while checking the details of their clothing.

On clothing and styling, any items with modern social marks must be eliminated.

Any epic film or TV series cannot completely eliminate all bugs, but in actual work, the director must not use this as an excuse to be careless, and must do everything possible to reduce the existence of bugs.

Confirming that there is no problem with the costumes and styling, Murphy’s focus is on the two actors. The upcoming filming is a dialogue between Jon Snow and the little demon Tyrion Lannister. The two actors are a freshman. Short, a sharp contrast.

The actor who plays Jon Snow is a newcomer from CAA, an Englishman named Hahn Choot, and his performance in the audition was quite amazing.

As for the little devil, there are not many candidates for Murphy to choose because of the appearance conditions. After Bill Rossis' hard work, he successfully found Peter Dinklage.

Although the current Peter Dinklage cannot be compared with the mature stage after starring in many big productions one after another, this type of actor is too difficult to find, and Murphy does not want to use forced perspective on a large scale. It means spending more money and time, or choosing this special actor who is extremely scarce in Hollywood.

Due to achondroplasia at a young age, Peter Dinglucky could only "lower one's head" in his life, but this did not prevent him from embarking on the path of acting. Unlike many stars who became a monk, Peter Dinglucky Laki graduated from the acting department of a regular college and is a real academic background.

He had already shown talent and talent in his student days, was a top student in the class, and began to write scripts in college. Peter Dinklaki’s "academic" style and rigorous attitude during the audition were given to Murphy Left a deep impression, this is also the main reason for choosing him in the end.

When the two actors finished their positions, Murphy patted his hands lightly, waited for Hahn Choate and Peter Dinglarki to look over, and beckoned to both of them.

"Hahn," Murphy looked at the young actor first, "your character is still very young, and the performance doesn't need to be too hard."

This young actor has a very good savvy, which is one of the reasons Murphy chose him.

"Hmm..." Hahn-Kate nodded vigorously.

Then Murphy stepped back without a trace and looked at Peter Dinklage.

This step back can make the eyes of the two more equal. Murphy will not despise anyone, even the black actors he does not like. The two sides will cooperate for a long time in the future. He will not be stupid enough to look down or be condescending. Dialogue with Peter Dingraki.

Special people like Peter Dinglaki often feel extremely sensitive. Seeing Murphy's unobtrusive movements, his face does not show up, but his affection in his heart is greatly increased.

Getting along between people is a very deep learning in many cases.

"Peter, Tyrion is a very complicated character," Murphy said very seriously. "He has a righteous side and an evil side. You need to balance his complexity."

"I studied this role carefully." Peter Dinglucky is very clear that he is limited by his innate conditions. If he wants to be successful, he must put in more effort. "I think to some extent everyone is In this way, people are inherently complex creatures. Unfortunately, sometimes we think too narrowly. For example, there are only good people and bad people in a novel. One of the highlights of the script is that the characters are blurred out of good and evil. You will have sympathy for some characters who have done bad things. As an actor, I think this is very funny. Tyrion is a good guy who does bad things. There are also bad guys who do good things in the play. I think this is very funny."

Murphy didn't expect Peter Dinklage to think of so much, and asked again, "Where do you think Tyrion's greatest charm is?"

Peter Dinglaki didn't hesitate or think too much, and said directly, "His sense of justice and the spirit of speaking for the weak are very brave, even though his family has always turned a deaf ear."

"Not bad." Murphy raised a thumb to Peter Dinklage. "Now I am looking forward to your performance."

He thought for a while and said, "I will shoot this scene from Tyrion's POV perspective first."

As an ugly dwarf, and deeply disgusted by his father, Tyrion Lannister has a complicated personality. Generally speaking, he sympathizes with the weak and is skilled in strategy. Because of his poor reputation and deformity, Tyrion was often misunderstood and became a scapegoat for many crimes, but he was always able to use his intellect to overcome danger.

He is a very special existence in the whole series.

Tyrion Lannister's life can be described as a never-ending psychological abuse, but his POV perspective will not make people feel miserable, only excited, because his counterattack is also the most powerful.

His father threw his first wife as a prostitute to the soldiers. He finally shot his father in the pit; his prostitute lover betrayed him in public, and he strangled her on the bed with the Prime Minister's chain.

So Murphy will let fate abuse him a little bit more, "Little Devil's Revenge" will be one of the ultimate nirvana in the entire series...
