The studio has been set up long ago. There are no tall buildings here. Except for the green screen as the background, other places are laid out into dark and gloomy alleys, just like the theme Murphy thinks this film should express, even if it is not used. The lens can only be seen with the naked eye, and it will also give people a heavy sense of oppression, and the oppressed people can't breathe.

In fact, what Murphy wants to express through the background is very simple. The protagonist and the people who help the protagonist think that their actions are just, but they also know that all these are not visible.

Therefore, like all creatures who cannot see the light, they can only meet in the darkest corners.

This is the last scene of the filming. Towards the end, the crew will inevitably have a relaxed mood. Murphy watched every department next to each other and asked David Robbie and Helena Espola to adjust. After finishing the lighting and background arrangement, he walked over and briefly confessed to Henry Cavill and Christopher Waltz, and then notified the start of the shooting.

""City of Chaos", scene 415, the second act, now begins!"

With the sound of the scene notes falling, the crew shifted to high-speed operation, and filming began immediately.

Philip Raschel personally controlled a camera, came to the opposite side of Henry Cavill from the top of the slide, and took pictures of Christopher Waltz’s camera assistant on the other side, shooting Henry Cavill’s from a non-interfering angle. Actor role.

"everything is over."

In the darkest corner, Henry Cavill stood like a stone sculpture, looking at the opposite Christopher Waltz and said, "The city has restored peace and I can disappear."

"Why?" Christopher Waltz asked, "Aren't you doing very well now? The criminals in New York City all know you exist and are afraid of you. They are afraid because of you."

Henry Cavill's voice became deep, "Because no one can restrain me, I take one more step, it is the abyss!"

Christopher Waltz was silent, seeming to understand the pain and helplessness contained in this sentence.

But he hesitated for a while, and slowly took out a magic ball from his pocket. Without receiving Henry Cavill's words, he said to himself, "In this chaos, a very dangerous guy escaped from the lunatic asylum. He has a crazy desire to destroy."

Henry Cavill took a step forward, wrapped in darkness, took the colorful magic ball from Christopher Waltz, and asked, "Who is he?"

"No one knows the specific name." Christopher Waltz looked up slightly and said, "He was a magician before he went crazy. Many people call him a magician!"

Glancing at the unusually conspicuous color ball in the darkness, Henry Cavill solemnly put it away, turned and walked out of the alley, leaving only a black back for the camera.

"stop!"

Murphy's voice sounded for the first time, but everyone did not relax, because they knew that the shooting was not over yet.

Sure enough, Murphy said loudly, "Reset all departments! Phil, change to IMAX camera and shoot with a full-range lens."

At the end of the film, he must leave enough speculation or interpretation for the audience to create more topics and prepare for the second part. It is undoubtedly a very suitable way to use the lens to make an article.

Panoramic shots must capture the whole body from head to toe. These shots show the audience the content and space of the movie. They can show scale, distance and sense of space.

After the bulky IMAX camera was set up and debugged, shooting began immediately.

The footage captured by the IMAX camera was also transmitted to the director’s monitor in front of Murphy for the first time. In the dimly lit picture, the characters stood against the light, and it seemed that the specific image could not be seen clearly, but they could express the character of the character. This is exactly what Murphy wanted.

In post-production, he can blur the character’s face through the silhouette technique, allowing the audience to focus more on the character’s movements and dialogue, instead of focusing on the character’s face based on instinct, thus highlighting the tragic and complex side of the character, and The second part makes enough predictions.

Just like the first time, the filming was completed smoothly, but Murphy did not shout through as everyone expected. Instead, he sat behind the director’s monitor and kept looking back at the scene where Henry Cavill left last. The more I looked at it, the more I felt this place. It doesn't seem too good to let the actor end immediately after gradually disappearing, there are always some unspeakable flaws, can not help but press the pause button, and look at the screen with both hands and think.

Darkness is the temperament that this film spreads from the inside to the outside, why not give the darkness a close-up in the end?

"Philip! David! Helen!"

Murphy immediately called his three most important assistants over and said directly, "I want to give the darkness a stop-motion shot at the end!"

Philip Raschel thought for a while, and said, "Yes, I'll do it right now."

Later, Murphy confessed a few words to David Robbie and Helena Espola. The two men also rushed to arrange it. It was not until nearly an hour later that the filming started again.

Perhaps it was a long time apart. Henry Cavill's performance state fluctuated. After three consecutive NGs, Murphy got the stop-motion shot he wanted, and the shooting ended.

After announcing the end of the shooting, Murphy did not care about the rest of the crew, played it back again, and repeatedly watched the shots just taken. The final shot of the shot was frozen in the darkness that vaguely transmitted some strange light.

The freeze-frame lens used by Murphy can stop the moving picture in an instant, and freeze the picture at a certain moment. The moment of action "condenses", showing the static beauty like a sculpture, which is used to highlight or render a certain scene, certain Kind of demeanor, a certain detail.

This technique is not uncommon in Hollywood film production, because stop-motion shots are usually in a certain narrative context. The stop-motion shots express the self-reference of a certain scene, which will invisibly increase the viewer’s perception of a certain scene. The impression of, from dynamic to static, with this, the question can give the audience more room for reverie.

This kind of stop-motion lens can be achieved with post-editing software, but that effect is not as good as direct shooting, especially the IMAX camera that Murphy just used to shoot is the IMAX camera that uses film. The stop-motion lens of film is the best to get. The way is still presented by shooting.

Just like Murphy did, stop-motion shots are usually used at the beginning or end of the film. The reason why he thought of using the stop-motion lens to complete the last shot was when he just thought of the "End of the Road" that he had watched. The final stop-motion shot of this film impressed him very much.

The ending shot of "The End of the Wild Flower" can be described as a very classic stop-motion shot. At the end of the film, the two female protagonists drive to the Grand Canyon to commit suicide. With this ending, the motion shot of the car driving is used for still frame processing, leaving it to the audience. The last impression of the car is that the car is driving in the air. Although it does not conform to the general laws of physics, it can avoid watching the terrible death ending. Instead, it leaves the audience with romantic and reverie space, indicating their path to freedom, and using the liberation of women to counterbalance A patriarchal world.

Such stop-motion shots are used in many classic films. Another typical example Murphy remembers is "Little Tiger".

This film is also in the last two male protagonists who decide to escape from the difficult situation, fearlessly face the rain of bullets behind them, and face their fate. On some levels, this application is also to prevent the audience from watching the terrible death ending. , I hope to leave only their fearless characters.

The shot here, Murphy will definitely be placed at the end of the film, the screen condenses, can create an open ending, allowing the audience to think and imagine what the male protagonist is doing.

Since it is the first part of the series, it is naturally impossible to leave the audience with a completely closed ending.

Although this film may not be successful, Murphy will not neglect to pave the way for the second one. However, this kind of foreshadowing is also very limited. The fiasco of "Batman v Superman" is right in front of him, and he can't put too much paving for it. In fact, it is just the end of the scene with James Franco’s stunning glance, the latter is still revealed through the eyes of Margot Robbie.

I don't know when, Gal Gadot came over.

Murphy turned his head and glanced at her, and said directly, "Gail, all IMAX films are temporarily sent to the bank safe for storage. The digital lens except the one kept by Twentieth Century Fox, and the other one is kept by you personally."

Leaks by Hollywood crews are not very common, but Murphy will not take it lightly. His crew has always had the most stringent security measures in this regard.

Gal Gadot turned away to deal with the preservation of film and digital lenses. Murphy said to Michelle Williams next to him, "Misha, you go to Twentieth Century Fox and Carla Firth, let They prepare the post-production room, and I will start post-production next week."

"I'll do it now." Michelle Williams picked up the phone and went to contact Twentieth Century Fox.

Murphy picked up the cold coffee on the table, poured it into his stomach, leaned on the chair, and let out a long sigh of relief. The heavy shooting work finally came to an end.

It took a whole year from the preparations at the beginning of the year to the completion of the shooting. Even if he is a very energetic person, he will inevitably feel tired.

But Murphy knows that it’s not the time to relax. The film will be released on the first weekend of May when the summer file starts. The time left for post-production is not too long. He must hurry, otherwise if he changes the schedule again, That's really a lot of trouble.

From the second day on, Murphy took a few days off for herself. During these few days, she hid completely in the Wave Manor to rest, and didn’t care about anything outside. When her energy recovered a little, she immediately cast the film. In the post-production.
