Chapter 428 New Equipment New Idea

The night before, the entire crew finished work early as soon as it got dark. As for the two "wild survival" blind date, Allen did not really let them stay in the wild for a night.

On the first day of filming, they had not yet adapted. Although foreigners were good at hands-on work, it was still a bit too difficult for two city dwellers who suddenly returned to primitive life to build a shelter with only a dagger.

In order to prevent them from being eaten by mosquitoes at night, the crew left them mosquito nets and small blankets, so that they could sleep under the tree for a night.

The filming will not start until the next day.

"This feeling is still a little bit off."

Allen shook his head, a little dissatisfied, but there was no other way at the moment.

At this time, Allen was holding a handheld camera that seemed very small in this era.

It was not a camera, but an analog signal camera.

Generally speaking, cameras now refer to machines used to shoot movies with film. They are relatively large, and most of them are wired. Under normal circumstances, cameras are used to shoot movies on the set, but it is not very convenient to use cameras to shoot in the wild.

Moreover, taking the program that Allen is shooting now as an example, it is relatively expensive to shoot with cameras, and there is another pain point. The images shot by the camera cannot be seen by others on the scene except the photographer who shoots.

You have to wait until the shooting is finished and watch it with film. If it is a movie, it can still be used for customer service, but it is not necessary to be so formal for such a less serious film.

The equipment brought by the crew of this program is a mix and match. Cameras are used under limited lenses, and cameras are used in other situations.

The difference of one word represents two things.

Cameras have appeared a few years ago. The principle is similar to that of cameras. They are both used for shooting, but the storage media used between the two are different.

Cameras are now in the analog era and use tape storage.

The imaging effect is very poor compared to that of a camera. For live interviews like those on TV stations, cameras are generally used, so.

The things shot by this thing are only suitable for playing on a small screen, not for making movies.

Many old movies, even if they are watched decades later, many people will still feel that they are very clear and the pixels are fine. This is the credit of film. In theory, the picture quality of film movies played in theaters with professional equipment can reach 4K or even higher clarity in the future.

But the tape of the camera is not good. If this thing is played on a big screen, the picture will look very blurry, which can be understood as the feeling of watching a small video that is not very clear on a small website, very blurry!

But for people of this era, TV. Generally, this effect is achieved. If you want to see clear and good-looking ones, you have to go to the theater to watch movies!

So. Whether it is a TV series or a TV program, it is inherently lower-grade than a movie, and there are also reasons in this aspect.

However, as the equipment becomes more and more advanced in the future, there will be movie-level TV series production, which will narrow the gap between the two sides.

But now, this situation still exists. When shooting in the wild, the handheld camera is light and unlimited, which is its biggest advantage. Although the photos are not clear, they are still within the acceptable range of the audience.

What Allen is holding is the civilian-grade handheld ultra-small camera VX1 that Sony just launched this year.

This thing is not even as big as a cat. It completely abandons the cumbersomeness of the previous shoulder-mounted cameras. The device is smaller in size, more advanced in function, and the battery can be used longer. One battery can shoot for two or three hours.

As for the pixel

According to the pixel standard of mobile phone cameras in the future, the pixel of the camera in Allen's hand is 380,000 pixels to be precise, which can be called 400,000 pixels.

This data is already considered to be extremely clear pixels in the camera industry in this year.

However, when I think of the fact that any smartphone camera in the future can have millions or even tens of millions of pixels, the device in Allen's hand, which is said to be the most advanced camera this year, does not seem to be advanced.

However, this new device released by Sony this year has a great advantage. Its tape can be directly transcribed to the computer to make a pseudo-digital source, which is equivalent to the feeling of future digital cameras. Editing is more convenient, and the picture is minimally damaged during transcription. You can shoot with a tape and transcribe it to the computer, and what you see is what you get!

For traditional analog cameras, if you want to copy the source in the tape, the source of the main tape will be damaged every time you copy it, and the source of the copied tape will also be damaged. The specific manifestation is that the originally poor picture will become worse.

If you have been married in the 1990s or have watched the videotapes of weddings in the 1990s, you will have an intuitive feeling.

Such videotapes sometimes look distorted, or there are some lines on the screen that affect viewing, and the picture is also blurry, because of this reason.

Now with this nearly lossless mode, as long as the source is transferred to the computer, the later editing or copying will be greatly convenient, and the picture quality is also guaranteed to a certain extent!

But the most important thing is that, as a loyal "partner" of Mr. Allen, Sony would of course give the new equipment to Allen first to experience it, so that this British aristocrat can try it out and feel the "strange and ingenious skills" of their island country.

The lens of the handheld camera is covered with a piece of green plastic, which is a bit like a piece of Sprite plastic bottle cut out and directly covered on the lens.

In this way, the picture taken will have a green feeling.

This is the effect of simulating night shooting and night vision goggles!

Allen can definitely get a night vision goggles, but the night vision goggles can't take very clear pictures.

If you really use night vision goggles at night, the current level of technology can only see the outline of people in the distance. As for clearer details, forget it, it can't be done.

And Allen now wants to show the "high-end" of his program, so he can only do something different from others.

But if the equipment does not meet the requirements, then he can only--fake it.

Take this kind of simulated night vision goggles lens picture to make do.

And you have to shoot in broad daylight, because at night, the light is not good and you can't shoot in the wild. If you use lights, it will be even more fake. You can only use the natural light of the day like now, and then add a green film to the lens to simulate.

Today Allen suddenly itched to shoot it himself and experience the feeling of shooting a film in person before.

And his position, of course, is to take close-up shots.

No one knows how to take pictures of women better than him, and how to take close-up shots!

With his arms slightly hanging at his waist, he followed the two contestants with a handheld camera at an upward angle.

Allen mainly focused the camera on the female contestants, so who would see the men?

Shooting at this angle, uh. In addition to Allen's height, the angle of view is from the back waist upwards.

If a shorter photographer is replaced, or Allen bends down a little lower, and the camera is about 20 centimeters lower, the picture taken by the camera will be better.

At that time, the details that the old perverts like to see will be taken from the back.

But this way, it is somewhat vulgar.

Allen wants to be exposed but not vulgar.

He wants to be both upright and natural, and the natural atmosphere should be greater than the seductive atmosphere.

So.

He took such an angle and followed the two people to take close-up shots. The camera intentionally or unintentionally shot from the side. Although the best part of the back cannot be photographed, it is okay to shoot the middle and upper part for appreciation.

This segment shot this afternoon simulates the life of the two of them at night.

What if the audience gets tired of watching the daytime scenes?

We need to shoot some scenes at night!

Allen specially arranged a very difficult section for them in today's itinerary, which required two people to open the way and do a lot of physical work.

Although it is not dark yet, according to the script, it is "already dark" now. The two contestants can set up camp under a big tree and prepare to rest.

They are tired all day, and they didn't even eat. They just collected some dead branches and heated some water in a small pot to replenish water. The male contestant also took a small blue pill for "calming and sleeping". The two worked together to build a simple shack like a doghouse.

After yesterday's familiarity, this man and woman are already quite familiar with each other.

In the camera, they hugged each other to sleep because the temperature would be a little bit at night. Hugging each other can increase the temperature and maintain body temperature.

Allen stood one meter away from the shack, quietly holding the camera and shooting the two people hugging each other.

An atmosphere that was not quite right became more and more obvious.

The male contestant suddenly seemed to be a little uncomfortable. He was hesitant.

Alan looked at this guy and secretly glanced at the camera. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, this useless thing, since you have a reaction, just start!

What are you looking at? I'm squatting here to shoot, and I didn't delay your work!

A man and a woman, so close, hugging each other, one of them is breathing heavily, what's going on, can't you guess?

But the male contestant can just hold on like this, and he actually endured it? !

Alan's lips twitched, and the last bit of patience was worn out.

But he couldn't just go up and show the male contestant how to do it, right?

That would be too low.

Alan sighed and stood up.

When he stood up, he scared the two contestants lying down. The man was nervous. The woman was probably nervous too. The two moved like this and rubbed against each other, and the atmosphere on the scene became even more awkward.

Allen waved to the photographer whose position he had taken over and said, "Go prepare some water for them, let them get familiar with each other for another night, you stay away, let them adapt."

After saying that, Allen pointed at the male contestant who didn't dare to look at him, feeling a sense of disappointment. No wonder he had to come here for a blind date. This guy is not brave enough. He is so bad, what girlfriend can he get? !

It's like this, and you can still endure it, then you can endure it. Anyway, there are more than one group of contestants. At worst, you can go to another group tomorrow. Allen doesn't believe that there is no one brave among these four male contestants? !

Walking back with the camera, Allen thought as he walked, and suddenly stopped.

He suddenly thought of an interesting thing. Some things he had never thought of before were his inertial thinking, but today. Right now, Allen was suddenly stunned.

He lowered his head and looked at the camera in his hand. This thing is small and easy to carry. What are the benefits?

Just like he just squatted there, shooting the two people at close range, this was not an easy thing in the film industry before.

The cameras used for filming movies are too big and too heavy!

It is very difficult to shoot such close-up shots, especially when looking down or looking up!

Just like when he was following the two contestants just now, if he changed to a movie camera, he would have to lay the rails in advance, put the equipment on a small cart, and the photographer would sit behind and shoot, but if he wanted to go lower and look up from the bottom, it would not work.

But Allen did it easily today, all because the equipment in his hand was small enough.

So what can this perspective do?

What kind of film needs such an upward perspective?

Allen subconsciously thought of "tailing", "selfie, candid photography" and other series.

These perspectives all focus on the experience, even if the clarity is lower, as long as the angle is good, it is easy for the audience to feel involved.

These things will be very common in the future, but now, in this era, they are indeed not available!

What if you use these things as a gimmick to create something?

"." Several titles flashed through Allen's mind, such as the great mentor of the porn industry, the founder of new technology in the porn industry, etc.

Just hearing these names is embarrassing.

He shook his head. With his current status, if he shoots this kind of thing again, if outsiders know about it, it will seem to be a bit low-class and not suitable for his current personality and status.

However, Allen really wants to shoot videos with this angle, mainly for excitement and a sense of substitution!

Hey.

Allen suddenly remembered that he also has a small film and television company in America that specializes in making pornographic films. It's time to care about them and send someone to convey his ideas to them. When the equipment and technology are updated, some new pornographic films with unique angles will bring a little shock to the American audience. Maybe he can counterattack the island country and bring them a little shock.

Apart from anything else, at least he can make a wave of money even if he sells videotapes, and by the way, he can also give his small film and television company a reputation in that field.

He took out the tape from the portable camera, asked the photographer for a new tape, changed the battery for the camera, and found Ajani strolling by the river. Allen's eyes lit up.

Don’t worry about the angles. Try taking selfies first. Can you take some first-person shots to get back to the old feelings? Now you have a good goal, right?

PS: I heard that I just went out for a trip and took two days off, and someone spread rumors that I was going to be a eunuch?
