The script lays the foundation for shooting, but it can't be directly used for shooting. The director should draw a storyboard or storyboard according to the content of the script and his overall idea.
Split mirror script theory
First, the story board/storyboard drawing requirements:
1 fully reflects the director's creative intention, creative thinking and creative style.
2. The use of the secondary lens must be smooth and natural.
3, the image must be simple and easy to understand. The purpose of the split shot is to make the director's basic intention, story and image clear. Don't need too many details. Too many details will affect the overall understanding.
4. The connection between sub-lenses must be clear. (generally does not mean the connection of the sub-lens. Only when the serial number of the sub-lens changes will the connection be switched. If necessary, it can be dissolved inside and outside. The storyboard should be clearly marked. )
5. Signs such as dialogue and sound effects need to be clear. Dialogue and sound effects must be clearly identified and should be identified under appropriate lens. )
Second, about the exam.
1, Examination Steps: Examining the questions (1, clarifying the meaning of the questions 2, conceiving the outline of the story 3, story segmentation 4, character modeling)
First draft (1, approximate scene, character position 2, sign light source, shadow)
Tick the line (1, determine the outline of the subject 2, remove the unnecessary line 3, and describe the character expression in depth)
Coloring (using light sources to determine shadow and highlight levels)
Write down the number and then speak.
2. About the examination schedule:
The total time is 3 hours (examination 20 minutes, first draft 10 minutes, marking 40 minutes, coloring 20 minutes, number 10 minutes).
3. About the lens.
Lens distance: the far character mainly emphasizes the far scene.
Panoramic action shows the relative action state of the characters. (The characters can be seen all over)
The middle scene conforms to the vision of ordinary people, and its scene doesn't look far away. (above the knee of the character)
The close-up effect can clearly see the expression of the characters. (Take the upper body or other parts of the character)
Close-ups magnify a person's face, a part of the human body or an object. (Highlight Local)
Lens angle:
The head-up feature is that the horizon is in the head or upper part of a person or subject in the picture. (This angle gives people a sense of hierarchy and naturalness. )
The feature of looking down is that the picture is on the top of the subject's head or above, with clear levels and movements, but the expression is not easy to see.
The viewpoint of looking up is below the waist of the character or the lower half of the main body. The image appears tall, but it also has the characteristics of deformation of the main image.
Mixed use achieves the expected effect through the combination of raising head, lowering head and raising head.
Specification and format
First of all, it is clear that storyboards are different from any literary form. It is often seen that some friends trick into writing novels or biographies, which is wrong, at least unprofessional. The script has its own special format, and writing the script is a technical job to some extent. ?
Writing plays is not a very noble artistic creation. This is just an ordinary job. A playwright is no different from a cleaner. It's just a very ordinary job. Everyone can write a script and be a director. Of course, since it is a type of work, it has its own norms.
1. Angle on Angle Alignment: For example, BILL walks out of the convenience store and the camera is aimed at BILL.
2. The main expression of approval is: Bill is in a crowded square, but the main expression is Bill.
Another angle: The lens from another angle shows that Bill is having a good time in the big square.
4. Wider angle: First show Bill drinking coke in the corner of the square, and then reduce the square showing Bill.
5. New Angle New Angle: Show Bill drinking Coke from another angle to enrich the lens.
6.POV point of view: Look at things from Bill's point of view. Is the first-person perspective.
7. Backhand corner: Bill and Sally dance together, first taking pictures of Sally seen by Bill, and then taking pictures of Bill seen by Sally. Usually, their POV is opposite.
8. Angle above the shoulder: The camera looks over Bill's shoulder and sees Sally. (2) Bill's shoulder can naturally divide the picture, which is a very common type.
9. Moving the lens Moving the lens: including following, translation, following, etc. Anyway, the camera is moving. As for how to move, it is not a question to consider now.
10. Two shots: Bill and Sally are chatting while drinking coke. Don't move the camera of this lens at will to prevent "off-axis". There is a shaft connecting Bill and Sally, and the camera can only move on one side of the shaft. If we cross this axis, the positions of Bill and Sally will be switched left and right on the screen, which will cause visual logic confusion to the audience.
1 1. (Close shot) Close shot: Emphasize Sally's beautiful eyes, but generally use them sparingly.
12. Insert: A close-up of something.
