”Crack! Heath Ledger, I need your eyes to be stronger, the feeling of accepting reality but still seeking a living, do you understand?”
Lehman stared at the footage from the director’s camera, then looked at Heath Ledger, who was serious on the side, and continued: “Imagine that even the Washington government abandons him, and he accepts it for the future of his daughter. The fate of being buried alive, but deep in my heart, the desire for survival of mankind still remains in the depths of the soul. It's almost what it means, do you understand?
The filming of the film ”Buried Alive” went very smoothly, even beyond Lehman's imagination.In just 4 days, the filming schedule of the crew has been pushed by half.
Perhaps this is the benefit of the one-man show. The whole burden of shooting is concentrated on the lead actor Heath Ledger, and other auxiliary tasks have been streamlined to a minimum. The daily shooting progress depends entirely on the performance of the actor, as long as he does not make a mistake. , The scene picture of the effective lens is easy to complete.
After all, every time you shoot a scene, you don't need to change the scene or the props. Just wait for Heath Ledger to put on makeup and adjust the camera position.
Moreover, the starring Heath Ledger's performance skills are really good, and there are few problems. This is great news for the ”Buried Alive” crew, which is short of funding.
Lehman calculated that if the shooting time exceeds 20 days, all the existing funds will be consumed, and there will be no money left for post-production. At that time, whether it is to start your own refund or Ryan's ”pocket” ”Money” will put him under greater pressure of failure.
It's a pity that Heath Ledger's state is out of shape and Lehman is not given this opportunity.
”I think he should be more desperate. Even his country has abandoned him. The gang of thugs also asked him to take a video of him trapped in the coffin to cause panic in public opinion. At this time, he must have the least desire to survive. Director.”
Obviously, Heath Ledger has his own views on this scene.
Ryman didn't think there was anything wrong with the actor's own opinions. He pulled Heath Ledger, and said to the swapped camera, ”You take a good look.”
Knowing that he was about to die, his expression was desperate, his eyes were dull, and the characters' reactions and emotions were in place. There was no problem, he looked at Lehman in doubt.
”It's too depressing, and I'm separated from the scene.” Lehman gestured with his hands, ”Your performance is complete, you are even lower, it seems a bit isolated, you understand?”
”You have to raise it a little bit, not so low.” His hand slid all the way from Heath Ledger's waist to his thigh, and then rose to the lower abdomen.
Heath Ledger understood but nodded subconsciously.
Seeing his expression, Lyman realized that he hadn't understood what he meant, so he pulled him and watched the camera replay again, ”Look, is the whole picture a bit uncoordinated? You seem to be alone in that corner. Same, different from the surrounding painting style.”
Heath Ledger finally understood a little bit. It was not that his emotions were not in place, but that the overall environment should not appear so low.The lighting is soft, and his presence makes this lens very abrupt, as if he shouldn't be there.
“You can’t just look at your own character’s emotions, but you have to understand the atmosphere of the whole scene. It’s right to take Paul’s fate now, but you’re looking at it from an outsider. You know what the Washington authorities think, and Paul doesn’t Knowing, he still feels that he didn’t agree to the mob’s request. His daughter will be going well. He even has a little illusion that the garrisoned troops around here will come to rescue him instead of the Washington authorities. You understand. Already? So the lighting is a bit soft, symbolizing that he still has illusions and the desire to survive deep in the human body.”
”Director, I want to prepare.” Heath Ledger started.Lehman's remarks helped him see the depths of the script, and his own brain has some new thinking. He needs time to sort out his emotional thinking.
”Okay, I'll give you half an hour.”
Such a situation rarely appears in the ”Buried Alive” crew, and even the camera and lighting are wrong. As an actor, Heath Ledger can still guarantee his performance, but this time, he needs to jump from Paul’s perspective. The background portrayed in the entire script, that is, the war in Afghanistan, must be combined to do better.
”Well, everyone rests for half an hour.” Lehman said loudly.
”What's the matter, is my lighting wrong again?” The lighting engineer Dougridge asked a little unconfidently. After so many days of shooting, he was responsible for the most problems.
”Haha, no, it's not your problem, it's just a break.”
After speaking, Lyman glanced at Dougridge again.In fact, the hired lighting engineer really has a big problem. The lighting arrangement required for the movie is by no means difficult. After all, there are few scenes and there is no need to change, but he always makes a little mistake. .To say it is sloppy, but he sticks to his post every day, so it can only be a problem with his ability.
You get what you pay for. Although his salary is the second highest, most of the people in the crew are novices, which is nothing to compare. The only advantage is that you can save money without complaining. He is really patient in doing things. Have to say.
