"You can just wait until the sun goes down to shoot that scene."
"According to the direction of the panoramic view, the sun slowly sets behind the mountains, but there are no buildings on site that can block the sun, so the angle cannot be so perfect."
"Use wooden boards to join a wall to block it."
"That scene was a long shot and I couldn't control the timing!"
"The lights are dimmed at a 45-degree angle and hit diagonally at the distance of the actors to create this effect!"
"Okay, this classmate has a good idea, simulating the angle of the sun setting!" Tang An nodded.
Several students majoring in photography, film, television and lighting raised their hands to answer, but few of them could use their professional skills to solve the problem.
This is also normal. What you learn in books must be practiced on the set for two years before you can become a qualified photographer and lighting engineer.
"Simulating the angle of the sun setting is one way, but have you ever thought about it, the range of sunlight is different from the lighting used by our crew!"
"Actually, we don't need to stick to the position of the light. We just need to think about what kind of light is needed for this shot and what kind of effect we want to achieve!"
"So Director Tang, what should we do in this situation?" someone said.
Tang An did not give the answer, but asked, "Does anyone know the characteristics of the light when the sun sets?"
this...
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don’t know why.
Doesn’t it always get darker when the sun goes down? What else is there to say?
However, several students still raised their hands, and Tang An then clicked on a girl with a ponytail.
"Director Tang, when I was taking pictures in the evening, I found that the sky was still very bright after the sun went down, and it would slowly darken after a while!"
"Yes, it seems that girls should be more careful!"
Tang An nodded in praise, ignoring their whispers, and explained, "After the sun goes down, although the sun's rays cannot shine on objects on the ground, it can still shine on the atmosphere above our heads, dust in the atmosphere and other small objects.
The material will diffuse the sunlight to the ground, and we will see that the sky is still bright. But if we wait until later and the sun continues to sink, the sunlight will not even reach the atmosphere above our heads. At this time, we will
It feels dark."
"So, in this case, you only need a light of about 20K, dim it and direct it towards the center of the pool, and the light will be reflected to the surroundings, thus creating the same effect!" Tang An said with a smile.
I see!
Most people are still a little confused, but students majoring in photography and lighting feel suddenly enlightened.
"Director Tang, you are so awesome!"
"Director Tang, how did you come up with this method?"
"Finally, I talked about something practical. In the past, those teachers would only talk about which lights to use in different situations, and how to use what type of lights!"
...
Tang An pressed his hands to signal them to quiet down, "We will encounter various problems on the crew. First, we must understand the effect that needs to be achieved in this scene, and then create this effect."
"You will slowly learn these things when you join the crew in the future. You should watch more, think more, and practice more!"
Then Tang An randomly found a few shots and explained them one by one.
Even though he shot this film alone, in fact, unless there is something that cannot be done with two hands, every other scene strives for perfection.
Then click on "Terror Cruise"...
...
"It seems that asking Tang An is quite useful!" Director Liu sighed as he looked at the expressions of the students in the audience.
When other directors give lectures, they talk about the art and emotions they want to express in their films, and they never talk about what the students need.
"Director Liu, don't mention it. At such a young age, Tang An actually knows so much about photography, lighting, scenery, and even makeup. I really believe that he shot "Shark Beach" alone!"
A teacher next to me was full of admiration.
In fact, there are still many people who still don't believe that Tang An shot "Shark Beach" alone, especially in the eyes of professionals, the so-called evidence can be "photographed".
However, they had nothing to refute, and since the audience believed it, they had no stake in it and no one had anything to say.
"I have also filmed seven or eight movies, and I don't even know some of these techniques. I really don't know where Tang An learned them from!"
"Stop talking about you, I've been staying in school since graduation and I don't even understand..."
The director only needs to be able to read and explain the requirements, and the people below will naturally solve them one by one. People like Tang An who are proficient in everything are indeed rare.
Could it be that he has done all the positions of photography, lighting, scenery, and makeup?
Only Teacher Yu, who had always been dismissive of Tang An, still had a look of disdain on his face and stared at Tang An on the stage in displeasure.
...
Tang An continued to teach and slowly began to enter the state of a teacher. He seemed to like this feeling a little bit.
In fact, being a teacher is quite satisfying, and sometimes you really feel a sense of accomplishment after teaching.
The premise is that you don't encounter students who can't be taught in any way. Facing such students every day, people with bad tempers probably can't hold it back.
Click on the last movie "The Wind".
It is played on Youku, and it is free. In this era, there is no such thing as charging for watching videos, and major websites rarely pay royalties to the producers.
When people asked about it, they said it was uploaded spontaneously by netizens and had nothing to do with the website.
I clicked on a few scenes and talked about the camera, lighting, makeup, etc., as well as the actors' performances.
"Okay, that's it for today's class. Now everyone is free to ask questions. As long as they are related to the movie, I will tell you everything!"
Two and a half hours passed in the morning. The students present were listening with gusto. They could even get a general idea of things that were not their major. Only then did they realize that so much time had passed.
Tang An first clicked on a boy in the back row. He stood up and asked nervously, "Director Tang, I would like to ask why Bai Xiaonian identified Jin Shenghuo as soon as he opened his mouth in "The Wind". Is there any purpose for this arrangement? In the film
Doesn’t it show that there is any grudge between them?”
Tang An's eyes narrowed, and he glanced at the previous teacher on the other side without trace. Seeing him sitting there with a serious face, he couldn't help but feel funny.
**They can be found everywhere, so it’s not surprising that there is one in this school.
The other students thought about it and thought it made sense, so they began to discuss it in low voices.
"It seems so. The other three said they didn't know, but Bai Xiaonian revealed Jin Shenghuo as soon as he asked!"
"I forgot about it even if I didn't mention it. At that time, I thought there was a foreshadowing behind it, but I ended up watching the movie and forgot about it!"
"I guess I dug a hole and forgot to fill it in, but these little details shouldn't matter!"
"The plot is so tense, who cares about this!"
"Don't talk nonsense. Director Tang has even considered so many details. Don't you know that there must be other reasons!"
