Three months later, the new storyboard script was finally drawn, so I started again, but after a month of shooting, a new problem came. Because the new storyboard script was still not ideal, I found that many storyboards had to be added during the shooting process.

It turns out that these people have not systematically learned the knowledge and theories of directors or editing in the old time and space. Although they have done some editing things, they all connected the materials on the computer in a certain order after the corresponding materials are shot. Of course, some choices or re-stitching will be made and some special effects will be added. However, most of the editing is advertisements or promotional films, which is still significantly different from film and television dramas.

They are also required to think about all the scenes before shooting, such as switching, close-up, distance, movement, etc., which is indeed beyond the scope of these people's ability. Even the directors or editors in the old time and space cannot do this. After all, in the old time and space, film and television production has been completely digitized, so the director is used to shooting materials that are far longer than the film and television screening time. Zhizhi is shot on multiple cameras, and then the effect is deleted and spliced ​​during post-recording.

At this time, the Art Group II faced two choices. If the photo was taken like this, the film would definitely not achieve the expected results. However, if you want to pursue perfection, it means you have to clear all the previous work again and start over again. However, no one dares to guarantee the effect after the rework, because no one can guarantee that the new storyboard script can be perfect.

After everyone discussed it, they finally decided to shoot according to the current storyboard script, and only adjust it during the shooting process. The front shot will be like what it is. The film will be shot first. Even if the expected effect is not achieved, they will finally go through the entire shooting process. After all the shots are finished, we will summarize the experience.

After more than three months of shooting, the entire film was finally completed, with a total duration of 23 minutes and 15 seconds. In fact, although this film did not achieve the expected results, it was already a premier work in this era. The use of storyboards exceeded all the movies shot in this era, and it was even rated as the first truly silent film in the history of the film several years later. Moreover, after it was officially released that year, it also achieved excellent box office revenue. After all, in this era of lack of entertainment, it was already very good to have a movie, and who still cares about the content.

However, for Art II, this is a failed work. After all, everyone is targeting the [Modern Times]. Therefore, after the filming, Art II spent a month summarizing the movie. The first conclusion was that the film equipment technology of this era was not perfect, and the standards were too high. The standards should be lowered, and the storyboards should be used as little as possible in the movie to simplify the content of the movie. Secondly, it is organized to develop technical research and create practical film editing machines. In the old time and space, professional film editing machines appeared in 1917 and matured in 1924 and could Synchronize with sound to realize the editing of audio movies. Therefore, it is technically feasible to carry out technical research and create practical film editing machines; again, before creating practical film editing machines, we will practice the technique of manual editing, that is, cut the washed film with scissors and paste it with transparent tape. In the early days of film technology, this method was indeed used for editing, but this method was too complicated, and professional film editing machines also appeared very quickly, so they were not widely used, but at this time, you can still use it for a while.

However, it will take some time to research technology, and the exploration of movies must be carried out simultaneously. Based on the summary experience, the newly filmed films should be as simple as possible. Therefore, after negotiation, everyone decided to change the classic sketch of the old time and space [Pepper noodles] into a silent movie. This sketch originally had fewer languages ​​and mainly relies on the body to express the content. It is very suitable to adapt it into a silent movie. Originally, another classic sketch [Eating Chicken] is also one of the candidates, but [Eating Chicken] was originally a pantomime sketch performed by a single person, and it was not very suitable to adapt it into a movie, so I gave up.

When shooting, a multi-camera shooting method is used. One camera shoots a panoramic view, and the camera position is basically still. It only moves the lens according to the character's movement. Only a few lenses switch, the other one uses close-up shooting, and the other uses track movement shooting. After the shooting is completed, first select the films of the films shot by the non-mobile position and the track movement camera shooting as the official film.

In addition, using manual editing methods, edit the materials taken by three cameras, and then create a edited version of [Pepper]. On the one hand, it is used to practice manual editing techniques, and on the other hand, it is also to see what effect it can be edited.

After lowering expectations, the shooting of [Pepper] was much smoother than the previous one. It took only more than two months to complete the filming. After the screening, it achieved a sensational effect because the plot of this movie is simple, very consistent with the silent movie, and the content is relaxed and funny, so it is naturally loved by the people.

On the other hand, the edited version of [Pepper Side] took more than 6 months to complete. On the one hand, it was because everyone was not familiar with the technology of hand editing, so the time was naturally slow. On the other hand, the manual editing work was indeed tedious. [Pepper Side] was just more than 10 minutes of content, but if it was replaced with more than 15,000 pictures, and the three cameras were shot at nearly 50,000 pictures. The workload of these materials was really not small. Moreover, Guan Jian was that only 2 or 3 people could do these tasks, and it was meaningless to have a large number of people. Therefore, after the edited version of [Pepper Side] was completed, the first experience was that to develop the film industry, there was still a professional film editing machine.

However, after the release of the edited version of "Pepper" has also achieved great success. Because it has played an extremely important role in the history of films, the editing technology of the edited version of "Pepper" and the use of storyboards have been regarded as the most important thing by the film industry. Many cinema schools have used the edited version of "Pepper" as textbooks.

Although the success of the two films [Pepper noodles] has not yet reached the height of the [Modern Times] that everyone has always expected, it has also given a shot of a heart-warming agent to the people of the Art Group 2. Before the professional film editing machine appeared, it was possible to make movies according to this idea.

When everyone was discussing the content of the next movie, someone suddenly thought that although they can only make silent movies now, they can use live dubbing and soundtrack to make the movie soundtrack, or directly record the soundtrack and soundtrack to the phonograph, and play the movie and the phonograph at the same time on the scene, so that the silent movie can be turned into an audio movie.

This is indeed a good suggestion. In the old time and space, there were indeed live dubbing and soundtracking operations for silent movies. However, this approach is technically too difficult and difficult to popularize multiple theaters, so it is not widely used. However, using a phonograph to dub the movies and separate the sound and picture are an innovative approach. At least in existing materials, such operations have not been seen before, but theoretically, this suggestion is technically feasible, at least it can be tried.

At this moment, the Cultural, Education and Health Committee asked the Arts Group 2 to arrange a drama that reflects the fight against the epidemic in the East China Government. Originally, Wang Jun was very supportive of the idea of ​​Arts Group 2 to make movies. In recent years, the Arts Group 2 has been studying film technology. Although it has achieved some results, it is obviously not as big as the Arts Group 2. The Arts Group 2 is basically doing the arts propaganda work of the Arts Group 1. It not only organizes concerts, musical and dance meetings, and choreographs, but also introduces a lot of traditional folk art, which is very exciting and has also caused a lot of slandering from the Arts Group 1, believing that the Second Group is not doing serious business, but Wang Jun tried his best to persuade and resolve the conflicts between the two sides.

However, the dramas that reflect the fight against the epidemic in the East China Government are the focus of the Cultural, Education and Health Commission now and are political tasks. They must not only be completed, but also must be completed well. Therefore, Wang Jun decided to let the two groups arrange a drama, and the two sides compete to stimulate the creative sentiment of both sides, so that they can produce real fine products at that time.

Yang Sen, the leader of the Arts Group 2, also knew that this was a task that could not be pushed out, and the Arts Group 2 did not have much results in recent years. Wang Jun also maintained his work for the Arts Group 2. It depends on Wang Jun's face. This task must be followed and done well. After all, you can take this opportunity to clear the name of the Arts Group 2 so that you can get more resources to discover film technology in the future.

Most of the members of the Art Group 2 also supported Yang Sen's decision. Although Wang Jun was trying to resolve the conflicts between Group 1 and Group 2, sarcasm was inevitable when meeting in private. Therefore, the members of the Art Group 2 also held their breath and must come up with a good work this time and let the Group 1 see that Group 2 is not a vegetarian.

At this time, someone suggested that it would be better to take this opportunity to try the effect of using a phonograph to dub the film with a phonograph. After the drama is arranged, first use a fixed camera to shoot the drama performance, and then use a phonograph to record it. In this way, the dramas can be played at multiple cinemas at the same time, and the publicity effect can be greatly increased. Moreover, not only can the dramas arranged by the second group of arts be done in this way, but one group of dramas can also be filmed and played in the form of a movie. In this way, even if the dramas arranged by the second group of arts are not as good as the one group, it also made a great contribution.
