long lens is a method of filming. It refers to the segment of the lens that is formed when the lens is facing a scene or a scene without cutting for a long time. Long shots are not something ordinary directors can handle. Directors who dare to take long shots must have a very deep foundation. The film "Don't Stop the Camera" mentioned by
today has a Douban score of 9.1. The first 37 minutes is a long shot. But this long shot is a bit weird, and even if there is no wonderful story behind it, these 37 minutes will be a very earthy and low car accident scene. The turning point of
started from the 38th minute. After watching it, many people did not hesitate to list this movie as the Japanese hottest of the year. The
film starts from the shooting of a zombie story. A poor little team, in an abandoned factory, shoot a zombie film. The young male No. 1 and the female No. 1 are always in a bad state when performing. When the dissatisfied director reached the 43rd time, he decided to take a break. During the chat with the director’s wife, the male and female protagonists of
learned that it turned out that it was a water purification plant on the surface, but the actual rumor was a secret base for the Japanese army to conduct human tests. What kind of human tests? It is to study how to bring the dead back to life. Moreover, this experiment has a follow-up...
sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? Before the director's wife could finish speaking, there was a sudden slamming of the door, and the door did not open, and silence was restored.
From then on, the real horror atmosphere of the movie came.
Cowardly male 1, asked "Is it the wind? What a coincidence..." he stood up and wanted to take a look, hesitated for a while and sat down, and at the same time changed to a lighter topic, chatting with everyone about "interest" . Thus, the male 1 female 1 and the director’s wife talked about "self-defense" in fear.
At this moment, a radio operator in yellow clothes walked into the camera and passed across, opening the door without anyone else, spitting, then turning back and sitting on the steps behind the door. Attention, this radio operator opened the door!
After the door was opened, a broken arm was thrown in front of the three people who were talking awkwardly. At first, they thought it was a prop for the crew, and joked, "This prop is really realistic!" Later, a colleague in blue clothes staggered in, covered in blood, and broke an arm. Fell to the ground and stopped moving. Director
took a closer look and found that this colleague in blue clothes was really bitten off by a zombie, not kidding! Suddenly, the three people were frightened and panicked. The real zombie is here! The moment they closed the door, they saw several colleagues outside the door, all of whom had been bitten by zombies, and rushed to bite them with their teeth and claws. In the scene where
hasn't switched, three people hide in the room, in shock, and even say "I don't believe it, I don't believe..." Suddenly, the blue-clothed colleague with a broken arm stood behind them at some point, chasing after them and biting them. Male 1 screamed and ran around, and finally led the blue clothes out of the door and closed the door again.
Just when everyone was scared, frantic, and at a loss, the director appeared in the camera carrying the camera! He actually carried the camera calmly! He wants to take these shots. He said that the state of male 1 female 1 at this time is true enough! "This is the effect I seek!" He pointed to the top of the building and said, "Blood is all ready!"
"That rumor, turned out to be true!" The director's wife shouted in horror, "With blood, read The bleeding curse will make'that thing' wake up.'" The male 1 female 1 and the director's wife all think that the director is crazy, and in order to make a movie, he will die. They want to flee here.
was in this panic. The radio operator, who had been sitting calmly on the steps, appeared several times in the long shots, but they were all irrelevant. At first, the audience thought it was a gangbang. This is the biggest bug in the long shot! But not, there are bigger bugs behind.
At this time, the radio operator said he wanted to go out. The director was in a hurry and asked him what he was going out to do, but the radio engineer didn't say anything, but finally pushed the director away and went out. The frantic director ran out to chase the radio, and shouted at the camera before he left: "Don't stop the camera! Keep shooting! Take me the most realistic zombies!" The director is really crazy.
The audience here is all confused. If the radio operator is a bug, why did he shoot such a long scene where he negotiated with the director? In short, the audience is completely blinded when they see this, and many people can't even stick to it anymore. What are they filming? ! I was scared the whole time, without any turning pointpoint!
Don’t worry, the good show is behind. The three of
couldn't bear it. They knocked the director out with a hammer. They wanted to escape from this room and from this factory.
was when they were running in the woods. The strange thing was that the camera was suddenly placed on the ground, and only the scene against the ground could be captured. Note, as I said at the beginning of the article, it was a long shot 37 minutes before the movie, and there was no switching in one shot. What does it mean to change the camera angle at this time?
Immediately, Female 1 and the zombies fought on the ground. After the fight, Female 1 ran forward frantically. At this moment, the camera was still in place. Suddenly, the camera seemed to be lifted. Shaking badly.
Next, there are many strange gangbang shots, 2136 words are omitted here, the audience can find out by themselves, because when the story behind the film is interpreted in the second half of the movie, these gangbang shots are full of comedy.
After the 37-minute long shot is over, the screen begins to scroll the cast, eh? Is that the end of the movie? Obviously not. If this is a prelude, then the movie really enters the topic.
It turned out that at that time, behind this small-cost movie, every actor faced their own bad situation and had their own problems to solve. They accidentally participated in the production of this movie, but they were in the opportunity to make the movie. , Miraculously solved their respective problems. The story of
started a month ago. The frustrated middle-aged director, Mr. Higurashi, received a "random script". A TV station invited him to shoot a zombie film. There was only one requirement: because it is a live TV show, it must be broadcast live, not pause, but the scene must be shot to the end. In other words, a zombie story must be completed with a long lens.
Mr. Higurashi thinks this is difficult to achieve. However, looking at the small room where his family of three lives, his daughter was frustrated because of the dream of being a director, and he has not found a more suitable job. He decided to take this job. On the one hand, for the sake of economy, on the other hand, he wants to make achievements in the director career and set a good example for his daughter.
However, when he discussed the script with the crew, he discovered that this is really a weird crew. Male 1 self-reliance is very high and often does not listen to the director's dispatch; Female 1 has a hypocritical reputation and never makes kiss scenes and shed tears. Eye drops are also needed; the radio operator has had severe diarrhea recently and has to go to the bathroom at every turn; the group performer 1 is an alcoholic who is quitting for his 5-year-old daughter, but he shakes his hands and loses energy when he does not drink; photographers often commit crimes Backache, it’s a challenge to keep carrying the camera to take long shots... Mr.
Higurashi looked at these people, he was very unsure, but he decided to come and cover the water and earth, and bite the bullet and start shooting.
Unexpectedly, at the beginning of filming, the problem came. The two people who played "director in the film" and "make-up artist" were sent to the hospital in a car accident on their way. But the live broadcast cannot be stopped! How to do? In the end, Mr. Higurashi decided to personally play the role of the "director in the film", bringing in the wife of the visiting class and letting her play the makeup artist.
started shooting in everyone's surprise!
When the male 1 female 1 paired the scene, he played one of the zombies in the group performance 1. But at this time, he was an alcoholic, and he couldn't help but drank some alcohol secretly. When Mr. Higurashi found him in the corner, he was already unconscious. Higurashi made a decisive decision. Overlord bowed, and drunk group performer 1, appeared in the camera, and manipulated him from behind to bite another colleague. Unexpectedly, group performer 1 was biting someone because of alcohol. Vomiting on the face of a colleague, the picture is very disgusting, but it is very realistic.
Do you still remember the weird yellow radiographer in front? It turned out that his paragraph turned out to be an accident! He had diarrhea, he had to go to the toilet, and this was completely out of the script! The originally designed play could not be performed. Because it was a live broadcast, the actors had to perform on the spot and perform off-line, waiting for the director's next instruction. At this time, time was pressing, the radio operator shit on the grass, and the dramatist endured the smell and simultaneously helped. He put on zombie makeup.
Do you still remember the weird shot from the ground? It turned out that it was the photographer's backache, and he was frozen there and could not move! But the live broadcast has to continue. The newly arrived female assistant promptly picked up the camera and continued to follow the actors, but the camera shakes so badly. She fell down several times in the middle, but no matter what the falling posture, she can always keep the camera following. Shooting status. In the live broadcast part behind
, there are many accidents like this, but what’s rare is thatThe various rescue scenes behind the scenes are actually a comedy line! From beginning to end, the more flustered, the more funny, the more unexpected, the more comedy.
It turned out that this is not a horror film, but a comedy! Some netizens at
said that after watching it, they finally understand why the various reality shows today are called "script variety shows"! Some netizens at
said that the secret part behind the scenes was so irritating to laugh! But after laughing, he felt bitter inexplicably and almost cried with emotion.
Yes, in addition to being funny, the director, every actor and actor in the film, when faced with an accident, the spirit of not saying anything, saving the scene in time, seeing tricks, and working together, is bitter and touching. After the completion of the
movie, everyone in the crew went through a baptism: the middle-aged director, Mr. Higurashi, successfully completed the live broadcast under pressure, and also set a good example for his daughter; the daughter was rescued at the critical moment of an accident. Also very courageous; although the drunkard was drunk again this time, but fortunately it did not mess up, the 5-year-old daughter was proud of him; the male 1 put down his idol baggage during the shooting and accepted the director’s opinion; the female 1 ended up with fear and again Excited, shed real tears...
filmmakers are crazy, brave, persistent, and dedicated, but the bitterness behind them is tears. This small-cost film is not sensational or pretentious. With enough sincerity and comedy, the audience can understand the pain and happiness of the filmmakers and understand the spirit of the film in laughter.
comedian Shen Teng once said: To put it bluntly, comedians can express the most bitterness.
They always have the ability to make people laugh, and then shed tears in their laughter. In this way, "laugh and cry, cry and laugh" to feel the true meaning of life.
Shen Teng has a mime sketch "Where is the Thief", which pays tribute to the comedy master Chaplin. It’s about that, in a narrow carriage, a man of righteousness found out the thief, was stabbed in the thigh during the fight, and still returned the passengers’ stolen wallets one by one. Even so, the passengers still had no help. They all got off the car in a hurry, leaving only him and the thief.
The audience thought he would suffer misfortune, but the thief took off his tie, helped him tie his thigh to stop the bleeding, and then turned away. The unexpected reversal of the plot made people shed tears off guard. In the end, the camera was fixed on the complex expression face of the brave and righteous, which was intriguing and bitter. What
comedians do is to tear up the bitterness and show others with a smile.
Zhou Xingchi once said, "I thought I filmed a lot of tragedies, but when they were filmed, you all think it was a comedy." His career as an actor started from a superb. Along the way, he has suffered a lot, has no contacts, no backstage, and has deeply experienced the hardships of the entertainment industry. He knows that only by seizing every opportunity can there be life. These experiences are embodied in his works, but they are all presented in a comedy way. The audience will never get bored after watching them hundreds of times, and finally created a classic.
Every comedian is worthy of respect.
Back to our movie "Don't Stop the Camera". It is not a commercial film of secular meaning. The cost is pitiful. 3 million yen is converted into RMB 180,000, which is not enough for some crews to buy a box lunch, but with enough sincerity After it was released in Japan, it actually got a box office of about 180 million yuan!
Its long-shot story application, in-play technique and creative ideas are considered to be the first. Director Shinichiro Ueda, with this film, won multiple awards in one fell swoop.
In this era when all kinds of reality show and variety shows are flying in the sky, this down-to-earth comedy movie is really worth watching!
