"John, if you take away your worries and only consider them from the perspective of an audience, do you think this video can attract you to watch it all the time?"

This question is very important. Wayne's way of asking questions also reminded the producer that he was a little worried about the gains and losses of this film, after all, this is too inconsistent with the mainstream.

After carefully recalling it, John said with certainty: "No problem. Although the angle is relatively different, in terms of the attractiveness of the film, it is absolutely no problem! Only the social problems expressed in the film are like empathy. I can actually find my own shadow in Arthur!"

That's right. Although Wayne has made some changes to the film, the changes are mostly the sense of the camera. The whole film is filled with a faint comic style, and you can't notice it without watching it carefully.

Why has the movie "The Joker" attracted so many people to watch the movie wildly? A big part of the reason is that they can more or less find part of their common ground in Arthur.

By comparing the social environment, North America in the early 1990s was definitely more suitable for this film than 20 years later. Various sports have not yet emerged, and people have no channels to vent various social problems.

Before making the video, Wayne believed that more people would empathize after watching Arthur, especially the end of the video to vent all kinds of injustice!

Today, the day's work ended early. John and Zach Schneider had left the studio, but the main editor Dawn Scott and Wayne stayed. There were some color issues at the end of the film, which they needed to discuss.

Dawn Scott, who left the editing workbench, is actually a middle-aged technical mate. Wayne has not worked with many editors, but the only two can be said to have master-level skills.

Sitting on the rest bench outside the studio, Dawn Scott held a large cup of coffee, took a sip and said, "I want to remind you, Wayne! Zach Schneider is a newbie in the movie, and John doesn't know much about color theory.

But Warner Bros. and theater watch experts will definitely understand your layout at a glance. The color of the video is too monotonous, which is very likely to cause fatigue in watching the movie. Will it have a big impact on the final market performance?"

Although this editor is a skilled person, he is also a smart person. He should have discovered the problem during the first cutting, but he kept holding back and didn't say it. He raised this question until the video was about to be completed.

"This is the first time I have tried to express my creative philosophy through the video." He reached out and patted the other person on the shoulder, with a dull smile on his face. "I know what you mean, it's too late to regret it now, right? No, it's too late! This will be the final color scheme of the video!"

This movie was produced by Wayne, and it has neither gorgeous special effects nor any action power elements. What is reliable to express the director's philosophy? That is the color and audio-visual language in the image elements!

If the audience only pays attention to the beginning and the end of the plot, it will not only ignore the director's painstaking efforts, but also lose a lot of fun in watching the movie!

Color, like light and shadow, is an important visual presentation in film art. Wayne carefully designed his own film color for this "Joker", which will be an important step for him to go from a novice to a master!

The colors on Arthur's body are mainly composed of red, yellow, green and blue. The main color of this film is composed of these four colors, which is also what Dawn Scott is worried about.

The first scene at the beginning of the film is composed of red and blue. Arthur's first shot puts on makeup in front of the mirror. The red light hits his face, and the background is a cold blue. When he stuffs his fingers into his mouth and buries it upwards, the contrast becomes so large.

All the daytime appearances in the video, the streets, shop signs, awnings, cars, pedestrian clothes, all the red, yellow, blue and green.

Through the contrast of colors, the audience can convey the environment in which the character is located and reveal the inner world of the character. This technique is not unfamiliar with any senior movie fans. In addition to this part of the movie fans, they will accept the emotions expressed by the director through colors, but they have not had an in-depth understanding.

In that scene on the bus, Arthur's clothes looked yellow from the window, the car was green, and the children's clothes were red inside the bus. On the streets at night, the overall color was cold blue, and the neon lights were red and green.

After a few scenes, Wayne was able to use these contrasting changes in color, allowing the audience to deeply feel the coldness and despair of Gotham City through the screen!

These colors were invisibly used as tools for narrative by Wayne, and their intentionality in color has also deepened, rendering and connotation of the film's atmosphere.

All the scenes of Arthur interacting with his mother. Although the lights are warm, both of them are in the shadows. When they are with the talk show host, the warm light will hit the faces of the two people, warm and energetic. Then when the picture turns to reality, it turns into a cold blue. It is so cold.

In this Gotham City under Wayne's lens, people in real state all use their tones to make the audience feel cold and depressing emotions.

In Gotham, except for Arthur's side, there was warm sunshine everywhere, but these never shone on his face. Wherever Arthur went, he had nothing to do with warmth in the camera.

"Wayne? Wayne!" Dawn Scott saw that he suddenly fell into a daze and pushed his shoulder hard.

"Ah! Sorry." He stretched out his hands and rubbed his face hard, which allowed him to soothe his tense spirit. "I'm distracted. Now whenever I think of the colors, layouts, and lens language about the video, I will start to automatically calculate in my mind!"

Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, Dawn Scott turned to his eyes and said with a serious expression: "Listen to me, you have been too devoted to work during this period. You must find ways to relax yourself. Actors often have situations where they are too immersed in the role, and the directors also have it!

Go back and have a good rest. Fortunately, all the work of this film has come to an end, otherwise I suspect you really need to see a psychologist! I also had this state when I was young. I can empty my brain, which will be good for you!"

When he mentioned the psychologist, Wayne was mentally moved. He knew something very well in his mind that his distraction was getting worse and worse, especially when he was working.

There is also the tyrannical emotion hidden in his heart. A calm mind can suppress this emotion all the time, but he himself knew that at some point he was indeed a bit perverted, and Harry Berry had even been scared by him.

If necessary, after finishing the work of this video, I really have to get a confidentiality agreement and find a psychologist to see it?

"Thank you, I understand my situation!" Wayne nodded like an editor, got up and prepared to go back and rest.

As soon as he entered this post-production studio, various post-production plans appeared in his mind. Perhaps it was not a psychological problem, but he was too immersed in the show.

Rolls-Royce was driving smoothly on the streets of Los Angeles. Wayne suddenly opened the isolation boards in front and back, looked at Sergei's back and asked, "You think, do I really have some mental problems? Now I'm distracted for a longer time."

"Boss, you're thinking too much." As a portable security and driver, Sergey knows his boss very well. "You just invested too much in your work. Believe me, boss. I have many comrades suffering from mental problems. You only need a few days to rest in this situation and will definitely return to normal."

Mental problems? No one will have more serious mental problems than retired soldiers. Sergei is an elite instructor in the army. He has seen many problems. At most, his boss is over-invested in one thing.

"I suggest that after this work is completed, don't start the production of the next project seamlessly like the previous years." After thinking for a while, the voice of the Russian bear came again. "Find a place you like the most and yearn for the most, go on vacation, this is more effective than anything else!"

"Do you want to go on vacation too? Well, after this video is out, let's go out for a while..." Three consecutive films have been produced for three consecutive years, and Wayne has been forcing himself to move forward step by step.

If the film achieved the box office he expected, it should be able to let him take a breath. Not long after, Sergei heard a slight snoring sound from the back seat.

The Russian-American bear grinned, this is because he is too exhausted!
