March is a time when it is still cold.

Lin Xiaoling was wearing a thick sweater knitted by herself, a red scarf, and a microphone, walking on the streets of the capital.

Behind her was a man carrying a camera, with a slightly fat body, and a slightly thinner person was next to her, who was a recording engineer.

Today is Sunday. The weather in Beijing is not very good, and the wind is a bit strong, which makes Xiaoling's bangs on her forehead a little messy.

When she saw someone coming, she ran over and handed the microphone on.

"Do you think the wind is strong in the capital?" Lin Xiaoling asked directly.

The other party saw a little girl and the camera behind her, and was a little stunned, not knowing what this was for.

"It's quite big, what are you doing?" The man interviewed said curiously.

"It's okay, let's just ask, where are you going?" Lin Xiaoling responded freely.

Xiaoling repeated a similar conversation many times, one reborn and the other reborn. From the beginning to the skillful response, she overcame psychological obstacles.

Lin Xiaoling started this shooting last week, but at that time she used a camera.

After watching the tapes taken, Lin Zixuan always felt that something was missing. The picture did not have the feeling of a documentary, and it was more like an ordinary street interview, lacking a sense of the times.

He consulted the videographer, who suggested using film to shoot, and it is best to use expired film.

Expired films will have polarization and have serious light leakage and cannot be used to shoot normal movies. However, the shooting effect will have a rough feeling, just like watching an old movie, which will show the mark of the times at first glance.

This is the same as the antique world that makes fake things old.

Lin Zixuan thought it made sense, so he went to the Beijing Film Studio to find an acquaintance to get a batch of films that had expired for several years. The film studio did not use them, and it was a waste to keep them. He bought some at the price of collecting scraps.

He also found a recording engineer to record on the spot. This kind of sudden interview is authentic and there is no way to dub it later.

In order to handle the director's professional course exam, Lin Zixuan also tried his best.

The cameraman and the recording engineer are both employees of the art center. Lin Zixuan asked them to help on Sunday. Everyone was familiar with each other and didn't talk about the rewards. They just went to a restaurant for a meal.

If you are shooting a normal film and television drama, the camera must be fixed on a tripod so that the picture taken can be smooth.

However, this is a street interview. There are not so many requirements for the picture. Only when it shakes, it can it appear realistic. Just carry it on the cameraman on his shoulders. The recording requirements are not high, and it doesn’t matter if he records the surrounding noise.

This documentary focuses on life and authenticity.

Lin Xiaoling did a lot of homework in advance and designed different problems for different people. Lin Zixuan felt that it would be better to perform at will at that time. Life can often surprise people rather than arrange them in advance.

The three-person shooting team was wandering around the capital, and Lin Zixuan drove to the side.

He would drive Lin Xiaoling and the other two to crowded places.

For example, hospitals, schools, residential buildings, ** squares, bus stations, hotels, etc. These places are crowded and mixed, and you can see all kinds of people.

After all, time is limited, and this is not a formal documentary. It cannot take too long. It is best to finish it in one day.

Sometimes Lin Zixuan also followed the side and found that everyone's reaction was very interesting.

For example, when he meets a person who looks like a cadre, he will not answer the questions, but instead asks with a little vigilance, "Which unit are you from?"

In ** Square, when asked "What are you thinking when standing here?", the answer is often "I feel very proud."

In the hotel, when Lin Xiaoling asked the question "Can I have dinner with you?", facing the camera, most people would send invitations, and of course some people refused tactfully.

At the bus stop, most of the people waiting for the bus are impatient, unwilling to answer questions, and even cursing.

In the hospital, you can see many sad faces, and face the camera, revealing too much separation from life and death.

The camera not only contains the reactions of everyone, but also the appearance of the capital in this era.

Lin Zixuan didn't want to evaluate anything. Just record the status of the capital on this day, it would be enough.

After one day, Lin Xiaoling felt unsatisfied. Faced with such sudden interviews, she could see people's reactions more vividly through the camera. Hypocrisy or sincerity was revealed in the camera.

She felt that practicing herself would gain more than reading books, and she could figure out many problems.

The camera is the director's eyes. The director expresses his intentions through the camera. Today, she used the camera to uncover the masks on people's faces and show the real side. This feeling is very satisfying.

"Brother, is this enough shot?" Lin Xiaoling said worriedly.

"You have been taking pictures for a day, and you just need to cut it out for 60 minutes. Even if you don't edit it, you can just hand it over. If the filming is really great, the examiner should doubt whether it was you who took it." Lin Zixuan replied.

"Let's cut it. The plot is a bit compact. There are many scenes of running around in the middle and some places where people scold me. I look so stupid." Lin Xiaoling said dissatisfied.

"Then you find Brother Feng and let him cut it for you." Lin Zixuan arranged.

In China, art exams are usually at the end of May and the college entrance examination is at the beginning of July, and it is completely time to go.

After filming this documentary, Lin Xiaoling's internship in the crew is about to end. In the next four months, she will enter the cram school and make every effort to prepare for the college entrance examination.

Don’t pass the professional course exam and fail the college entrance examination results, that would be depressed.

Feng Xiaogang is now Lin Zixuan's assistant, or the artistic director of the center. He is usually responsible for the supervision of various crews. He will shoot a play in the second half of the year and is currently collecting scripts.

After the filming of "The People in Beijing in New York", he was not very interested in TV series and felt that there was no challenge.

As he said in New York, after passing this hurdle, he was more confident.

Feng Xiaogang helped Lin Xiaoling cut the movie, which is a bit useless.

In fact, it’s okay to find an editor, but Lin Zixuan trusts Feng Xiaogang. He wants to watch Feng’s style documentaries, and at the same time let Lin Xiaoling learn a little.

Each director has his own style. With the same shooting materials, the director can express different meanings through editing.

The movie "The Wind in the Capital" edited by Feng Xiaogang is very ironic. He pointed the camera at the characters, highlighting the expressions of these people's answering questions in the moment, and has a black humorous feeling.

If Lin Zixuan was editing, he would pay more attention to the various aspects of life and the life in the capital at this moment, and would be more warm.

Lin Xiaoling likes to show truth and pursue the story behind everyone.

This also represents their respective personalities. (To be continued.)
