Since Philip Raschel will be back soon, Murphy did not intend to continue to hire a photography director. Instead, he adjusted the shooting plan appropriately, adjusted some action shots, and let the action director team take the shot. The negative impact of Philip Raschel’s absence was suppressed to a minimum.

As for other shots interspersed in the action scene, such as some typical long-range shots, Murphy will personally operate the camera.

In the set, six people stood in front of the green screen, and faced off fiercely with Henry Cavill dressed in black. Liam Neeson, wearing high boots, stayed outside, constantly yelling.

Murphy sits behind the director's monitor, just watching the transmitted images, completely handing over the command of the scene to the action director.

A person who wants to have strong power must undergo rigorous hellish training, and the male protagonist played by Henry Cavill is of course no exception.

Action scenes are intermittent, and the longest shot will not exceed 20 seconds. This is Murphy’s request. Short shots are beneficial to the later editing of action scenes and can also speed up the rhythm of the final film. In this regard, ink Fei believes that Michael Bay’s shooting and editing methods are very worthy of reference.

Of course, Michael Bay can't directly copy the production of action scenes. Murphy just uses this as a basis to make appropriate modifications to suit his own film style.

In the morning, Murphy finished shooting the shots of Henry Cavill’s training. There is only one shot left in this scene that is about to be demolished, between the apprentice played by Henry Cavill and the mentor played by Liam Neeson. A conversation.

Murphy specifically called Henry Cavill and Liam Neeson before filming started in the afternoon.

"This scene is the beginning of your conflict of ideas."

Looking at the two actors in front of him, Murphy said seriously, "Henry, Chris was a lost child at first. It was Rainer who solved his knots and doubts and pointed the way forward."

He then said to Liam Neeson, "Liam, your purpose is not to get Chris back on the right track, but to lead him to the path he believes in."

Liam Neeson nodded, "I understand that I am not evil myself."

He paused, and pointed to his head, "The evil is the ideology that has been instilled in it, and the ideas that cannot be changed."

Murphy gave him a thumbs up, "Exactly right!"

The only reason why the protagonist and villain, who were originally almost father and son, turned against each other, was the difference in ideology.

Chris Dan, played by Henry Cavill, was influenced by many people and grew up as a teenager with a complete family. Although he encountered a shock halfway, his behavior was a bit extreme, but he did not form a single ideology. Under the influence of someone like Liam Neeson who is also a master and father, he is still a very complicated person deep in his heart.

Reina, played by Liam Neeson, wants Chris Dan to inherit the ideas he was instilled since childhood and become an individual with a single ideology, leading the organization he inherited to accomplish its goals, and it must be formed with Chris Dan. In the collision of ideas, Chris Dan partly agrees with Liam Neeson's views, but fails to recognize the exclusive and destructive side of his ideas.

Filming soon began, and Henry Cavill and Liam Neeson stood in the dark light in front of the green screen.

"The greatest fear in your heart comes from the darkness."

Looking at Henry Cavill, who was uneasy, Liam Neeson said loudly, "But darkness has never been our enemy, darkness is our best friend, and he can provide cover for us..."

Murphy doesn't need how outstanding the two actors are in Wenxi, as long as they have a normal level, it is enough. He controls the No. 1 camera to slowly back down through the slide.

"You have to overcome fear," Liam Neeson's voice was clearly and unmistakably captured by the recording equipment. "The best way is to become fear!"

"Stop!" Murphy called to stop the filming and reminded, "Lian Mu, Henry, your two expressions are not in place."

The two actors were making adjustments, and he said loudly to the people in other departments, "Everyone resets and restarts shooting in five minutes."

Others were busy making adjustments, but the camera controlled by Murphy did not move. When shooting just now, he suddenly had an idea that he wanted to shoot with a long-range lens.

Murphy also made the necessary adjustments to the camera in these short five minutes, and the subsequent shooting was also exceptionally smooth. After just one shot, he got the lens he wanted, but for better results and differences. Murphy then changed two more angles and shot four shots in succession.

One of the most outstanding ones fully met his requirements.

The long-range lens has a broad field of vision, and is often used to show the time, environment, scale, and atmosphere of an event, such as showing open natural scenery, crowd scenes, war scenes, and so on.

But Murphy used it here, not for these at all, but to show the character's character and a series of changes resulting from it.

Generally, photographers don't use the perspective lens to express the character of the character, but Murphy is willing to make such an attempt, and he has a complete plan in a short time, which is to present the image of the character from head to toe in the perspective.

Film shooting and production are never simple copy and paste. If you can wisely notice and develop similar lens applications, you can bring more changes to the film.

In Murphy’s most satisfying long-range shot, Liam Neeson’s character stands tall in the picture in a heroic image, while Henry Cavill’s character is at a disadvantage in the environment and appears more helpless. , This is exactly in line with the situation he faces in the plot.

This means that this long-range lens is not a single one, and it can give many new meanings. This is why Murphy uses a long-range lens to shoot here. It can make Henry Cavill’s character image feel very weak and in a kind of The subtle and vulnerable situation creates a clever sense of plot oppression.

In the same way, two completely different characters in the lens are also conducive to creating contradictions.

Beauty comes from contradiction. Murphy loves contradiction, no matter how ambiguous it is.

In addition, this kind of long-range lens can also capture the dialogue between the two actors very well. Murphy's long-range lens is used in conjunction with two middle shots and two close-ups. He uses this lens language. The audience is placed in the camera position of the long-range lens, so that the audience has a sense of presence, as if watching the people in the screen are talking.

At the end of the day's shooting, Murphy did not get off work immediately. He returned to the temporary pull-out room on the set and inspected all the shots taken today, so that he could find the shortcomings and re-shoot as soon as possible. The distant shot was the focus of viewing.

After watching it for a while, Gal Gadot, who was busy with the work at hand, came over.

Gal Gadot did not speak, pulled a chair, sat with Murphy in front of the monitor, and watched the shot together.

Of course, she is not so much looking at the camera as she is looking at Murphy.

Looking at Murphy, who was extremely serious, Gal Gadot suddenly thought of what he said when the two of them discussed the film some time ago: "To make a film is to discover things. It is about investigation and discovery. Take your own eyes. Become a child’s gaze, draw inspiration from everything in life, observe everything in life, and when you become a visual storyteller, you will learn to see people’s behavior motives and some things behind them. Or simply In other words, when driving through a field, whether it is natural light or artificial light, feel and learn from the light there. This approach will make you feel like you are making a movie 24 hours a day!"

There is no doubt that Murphy invested 120,000 points in the treatment of movies.

Even sometimes, Gal Gadot felt that in Murphy's eyes, the movie was ranked first, and she could only be ranked behind the movie.

But she is not angry about it. An ambitious man is more attractive, isn't it?

Secretly glanced at Murphy's face, Gal Gadot sighed softly from the bottom of his heart, "Movies are what you should pay attention to most. Don't participate in the messy things."

Although she knows that some things are difficult, she still has to persuade, after all, people like Murphy, appearing at Rose's trial, will definitely cause an uproar.

Gal Gadot was not eager to speak. He waited until Murphy had watched all the shots and turned off the monitor before he asked, "Today’s plan is behind, and Philip will be back tomorrow. I will make up the shots that were not taken yesterday and today. The lens?"

"Tomorrow?" Murphy shook his head and said directly, "Tomorrow you will be in charge of the crew..."

Gal Gadot frowned when he heard this.

Sure enough, Murphy said again, "Tomorrow the filming will be suspended and Philip will have a day off. And tomorrow will be Ross's last trial. Robert said it is very likely that a sentence will be pronounced in court, and I will go there."

"Murphy!" Gal Gadot still didn't hold back. "Are you right in the past? Not only did you not help in the past, but it would also make you fall into a whirlpool of public opinion!"

She folded her arms and looked at Murphy, "Have you considered it carefully?"

Looking up at Gal Gadot, Murphy could see that she was really angry, and raised her hand to gently squeeze her shoulder, "Honey, I know you are worried, but there are things that cannot be measured by reason."

Gal Gadot seldom tempered himself, but then turned around, not looking at Murphy or speaking.

"Rose is my friend." Murphy knew very well that without his original experience, it would be difficult to understand the brotherhood between such men, but he still said, "We held each other in prison, and he helped me get through. The most difficult period of time has passed."

"You..." Gail Gadot sighed long, bit his lip, and said, "I'll call Bill now, and I have to be prepared."

Murphy took her hand and walked outside, "I'll fight when I get home."
