"Okay, working hours are up, let's take care of everyone!"

After lunch, after a short break, Li Wenyin pinched her watch and called on everyone to move.

"Zhang Xiao, go and adjust the movie segmented images."

"Meng Kai, you and Director Yan go to the monitoring room to see the effect."

With Li Wenyin's command, everyone also started to move.

Li Wenyin took the lead in making a simple midi soundtrack, and at this time, he followed the order of the movie to see if the camera would be inconsistent with the music when switching the camera.

Convenient for subsequent rhythm stretching and adjustment, etc.

That is commonly known as...

Stop!

But what is slightly different in the soundtrack is that the music should try to match the picture as much as possible, rather than simply editing the picture to the rhythm of the music.

After all, the more important thing about movies is the camera, but there is only some room for adjustment when the right time.

"Director Yan, how do you think about this paragraph?"

Li Wenyin asked Yan Wenxian.

Yan Wenxian nodded sincerely.

"That's great, this is what I imagined!"

"But... it's really perfect here, but if you follow your music to the later plot, you always feel something is wrong."

Yan Wenxian can't even say that feeling.

The plot of this section is very simple.

It's the most common comparison picture.

Comparing the warmer scenes of a young couple in the village to the marching enemy army, it creates a sense of anxiety.

But the warm picture must be lighter, and the music that the enemy is about to invade is heavy.

If the transition is too abrupt, it will give the audience an inexplicable sense of irritability. Such irritability is an irritability about the sudden change in the picture and music, rather than an irritability caused by the plot.

"Yes, this section of me is soft music in front, rising backwards until it stretches to the scene of enemy troops invading, and starts to get faster and the beat is heavier."

Li Wenyin pinched her chin.

"But your picture will be cut twice, and the second time it will still be cut back to the daily life of the villagers. It is inconvenient to slowly weaken the music at this time, because it will lose the anxiety created, but... if it remains unchanged, it will be more abrupt, and it will be difficult to completely lift it up behind it to highlight all kinds of tragedies that are about to happen."

"Um!"

Yan Wenxian nodded and said nothing.

Since Li Wenyin also knows it, she will definitely have ideas.

"Brother Li Wenyin, why not be like us?"

Zhang Xiao's eyes rolled and suddenly had a new idea.

"Hmm?! You said!"

Li Wenyinruo looked at Zhang Xiao with interest.

Everyone has their own ideas for this kind of inspiration for the sense of picture.

What if someone else’s idea is better and more appropriate?

"I think, since Director Yan performed this dual-switching shot in order to promote the tension in the picture, and finally the Japanese invaded the village and caused a tragic climax, then when I switched for the first time, I thought it could be a little abrupt in music."

Zhang Xiao's words made Li Wenyin's eyes lit up.

"But that won't make the switch of the camera very stiff?"

But after hearing this, Yan Wenxian frowned.

Music will help switch lenses, and this large lens switching requires music to moisturize.

The small shot switching of a scene will not be abrupt, and the fall of a whole big paragraph and the beginning of the next paragraph will generally be gradually weaker and stopped, and then switched with the scene.

However, this kind of large shot that does not switch paragraphs is very much needed for this kind of switch between scenes.

Li Wenyin didn't say anything, looked at Zhang Xiao, and waited for Zhang Xiao to speak.

As smart as Li Wenyin, Zhang Xiao understood what Zhang Xiao meant long ago when he spoke.

Sure enough, Zhang Xiao said.

"Since it is to compare the harmonious village with the coming enemies, and to highlight the tragedy of the human world that happened after this... Then I think it is better to maintain the same music and style as the first paragraph and the third paragraph, so that the picture language can be better depicted."

"And the same gentle and warm music sets off the two scenes, the music processing at the climax at the back becomes very simple."

The reason is actually very simple.

If you want to promote, you must suppress it first, and naturally, you must first "low" the music. In this way, "high" becomes very simple.

"But in this way... what should I do if the screen in the middle is switched?"

Yan Wenxian still didn't understand and said with a frown.

"There is a scene in the middle of the scene, cutting from the village to the marching enemy, and then cutting back to the village, what should I do?"

"Director Yan, Zhang Xiao has a good idea, and... the meaning is very simple."

Li Wenyin smiled.

"In fact, abruptly means a conflict and contrast without proper implementation. Zhang Xiao means to regard the villages in the first and third paragraphs as a coherent whole, and the shot of the second paragraph is regarded as an illustration. Since it is suddenly, it will suddenly go to the end!"

Only then did Yan Wenxian realize it suddenly.

He was used to editing and subconsciously regarded this plot as four.

Village a-marching-village b-invade!

This kind of transition method is really difficult to make a soundtrack.

Because the marching passage is too short!

At least for a music change, it's a bit short.

However, Zhang Xiao's idea was to divide the plot into two parts.

From village ab to invasion to a whole plot.

And in the passage of Chang Village, insert an illustration, decorative sound, or clip of [March].

In this way, without changing the original editing, it is easy to highlight and compare in the music without changing the original editing.

"It's very good."

Li Wenyin smiled slightly.

"Although this audience orientation is somewhat different from what I expected, I feel that this is better to handle it. Let's try it first, and then talk about it!"

Several people nodded.

Director Yan Wenxian has no objection either.

If Zhang Xiao said it directly to himself, Yan Wenxian would definitely want to refuse immediately.

But since Li Wenyin did not refuse, it definitely means that this method is still feasible.

Then what else do you worry about?

"It's done!"

After nearly two hours of thinking changes and editing, the first-hand soundtrack produced by Midi was created.

With the film editing and the switching footage, the soundtrack of this segment was officially intervened, and everyone started watching it carefully.

In the picture, a small village appears before my eyes, and the delicate music seems very soft, just like a breeze blowing through this village where although it is poor and backward, life still has its own little happiness.

Suddenly, the picture changed, and the originally peaceful and gentle music was broken by two long roars and heavy drums, and the enemy marched urgently!

The sound of footsteps combined with the roar of the bass electronic sound effects, the slightly impatient string music. In an instant, even though several people knew the direction behind the music, they still felt that they were jumped.

"Yes! That's what I want!!"

Yan Wenxian was happy.

But then I was a little worried.

In the next section, I will switch back to the village. According to Zhang Xiao’s idea, since it is impossible to dilute the connection gap between the contrasts...

Then use more sudden contrast to increase the contrast and weaken the attention of the connection gap!

really!

The scene of the rushing march passed quickly.

With a brief musical stagnation, the camera returns to the small village again.

It seems to have opened the next movement, and it seems to have returned to the repetition.

The music is still beginning to be soft.

The villagers' daily life continues to appear in the picture.

Yan Wenxian was stunned and immediately felt a little disbelief.

The sudden gap in my heart did not appear at all. Moreover, compared with the first and second sections of the village, my heartbeat slowly accelerated. It was obviously a very peaceful village, with the soft music, but the tension became more and more intense!!

I have read the script countless times, filmed it myself, and watched the film countless times!

I usually don’t feel much after watching it, but why do I always feel that this time is a little different?
