The two of them watched Wan Anini's video again from beginning to end.
Afterwards, Jiang Xingzhou clicked on the video sent by Song Ci and played it.
He asked, “Do you see the difference?”
The difference is so obvious that even Song Ci itself felt embarrassed.
In fact, when she was editing, she had already discovered that her video had a single angle, no focus, and was obstructed, which made the viewing experience very bad.
Song Ci blushed and nodded: "I can see it."
She really wanted to defend herself, so she said, "I bought a stand, but there was a problem with the courier, so it will be delayed until tomorrow. If it arrives, it should be much better to use the stand to shoot."
"Well, for now, these problems you mentioned can be solved by changing the angles frequently." Jiang Xingzhou nodded, agreeing with her point of view, but changed the subject the next second, "But I believe you can also see that the video you chose is relatively easy to make, both in terms of the cooking method and the shooting technique. In the future, you may encounter videos with camera movements to replicate, and at that time, it will not be solved by a single bracket. You have to think about this carefully."
Jiang Xingzhou is telling the truth.
Anini lived alone this night, so there were relatively fewer camera movements in the video shooting, and most of the time the shooting angles were constantly changed to achieve the camera movement effect.
If Songci wants to continue with this approach, it will inevitably encounter videos with camera movements in the future.
So you can feel more at ease if you think of a solution in advance.
After listening to Jiang Xingzhou's words, Song Ci felt that he was absolutely right.
But she had no other ideas at the moment.
It is still a question whether the food blogger business can continue.
It’s a bit too fast to think about the future before even shooting a single video.
Song Ci’s idea is to take things one step at a time and find a solution when the time really comes.
“Then I will choose those simple videos without camera movements to replicate. There are so many bloggers, and it will take a long time to replicate all these videos. I will think of a way when it really comes to that.” It’s a bit of a sham, but with Song Ci’s current understanding, there is no good way to solve it.
She always felt that videos with camera movements had to be shot by a team, so she would just avoid those videos easily.
Jiang Xingzhou was in deep thought. He did not agree with Song Ci's idea, but he did not know what to say. After all, these were all Song Ci's affairs in the final analysis. If he said more, it would seem a bit overstepping the bounds.
So he nodded again: "Okay, as long as you know what's going on."
"Are you still shooting today?"
Song Ci replied: "No, I will wait until the bracket arrives tomorrow."
"Well, remember to pay attention to the angle changes next time you take pictures."
"Understood!"
—
The bracket arrived the next morning, the watermelon was delivered to the door at noon, and the video was started in the afternoon.
Song Ci told Jiang Xingzhou about his arrangements in advance on WeChat to facilitate Jiang Xingzhou's entry and exit.
It's really different with the bracket.
However, when filming started again, Song Ci was conflicted again.
Because the video of Anini in the evening was taken while holding a watermelon.
What she wants to replicate is this delicacy. Does Anini want to replicate what she did that night
Feeling a little confused, Song Ci found the comparison video blogger recommended by Jiang Xingzhou, watched their videos, and finally found that no one else seemed to shoot that kind of other action.
So Song Ci boldly started shooting by cutting the watermelon.
Others cutting watermelon VS I cutting watermelon
In the evening, Anini used her special machete to cut everything to the bottom.
Song Ci's kitchen knife cut all the way through, but didn't cut through, so he secretly used a little force to pry it open.
This watermelon is not obedient either. Yesterday's watermelon broke, and today's watermelon has been cut into this shape. Only the last bit is left and it is still stubbornly connected.
After doing all this, Song Ci put the watermelon down and then moved the bracket to a new position so that the camera could face the watermelon flesh.
The next step is to dig the watermelon balls.
Others dig watermelon balls VS I dig watermelon balls
Song Ci carefully took the kitchen knife and drew a line almost in the center of the watermelon to determine the position.
Then she took out her eating spoon and scooped out an oversized watermelon ball.
It was at this time that Song Ci realized that he had forgotten to buy the special tools for digging the balls.
After the trouble comes new trouble.
If each video requires a new tool, does she have to buy several things every time she reproduces a video
In this way, she has already spent a lot of money before she even earns it. She is purely losing money, which is completely contrary to her original intention.
Song Ci curled her lips and suddenly didn't want to go on.
It's simply a bottomless pit.
She was secretly sad for a while, but then she thought that she should at least finish shooting this video and then show it to see the effect. If possible, she would first find some videos that did not require too many additional tools to replicate. If not, forget it, and just go back to continue writing her novel. After the old book is finished, she can just start two new books.
With this mentality in mind, Songci made a watermelon Sprite ice drink.
She didn't rush to do the next one, but paused the filming and watched her video again.
Because Song Ci never stopped recording during the entire process, the entire video lasted about ten minutes.
After watching the entire video at twice the speed, Songci felt that it was hard to tell what was wrong without editing and that it needed to be reshot.
It's really distressing.
I had to put the prepared portion into the refrigerator's fresh-keeping layer, take out the remaining half of the watermelon, and then do the same thing over again.
With the first foundation, this time the Song porcelain was made much faster, a full five minutes less than the previous video.
It couldn't be changed after it was done, so Song Ci forced herself to stop paying attention to the video and finish the watermelon Sprite drink first.
Holding the freshly cooked watermelon, Song Ci knocked on Jiang Xingzhou's door.
Jiang Xingzhou was catching up on the progress all day.
He was looking for excuses to run away the past two days, and in fact there was no editing at all. The new video will be released tomorrow, and he has just finished writing the script.
So he worked hard all day to make progress.
He was making a transition when there was a knock on the door. He stopped what he was doing and stood up to open the door.
There were only two people in this house, and there would be no one else except Song Ci when the knock on his room came, so Jiang Xingzhou was not surprised at all that it was Song Ci standing in front of the door.
He just looked at the finished product of the half watermelon Sprite drink that Song Ci was holding with some surprise.
For some reason, it looks pretty good.
Maybe it’s because the combination of these things doesn’t look ugly.
He glanced at Bingyin, then returned his gaze to Song Ci: "Is it done?"
"Yes!" Song Ci nodded vigorously, "It's done!"
Then, she held the watermelon in both hands and pushed it forward: "This is for you, thank you for helping me so much!"
She decided that every time she reproduced food, she would make two copies. This way, she could not only check for omissions and make up for the angles that were not captured the first time, but also thank Jiang Xingzhou. At the same time, she could get some feedback from Jiang Xingzhou and evaluate the food more objectively based on the tastes of both of them.
Jiang Xingzhou was flattered. He didn't expect that he would have a share.
Come to think of it, when they didn't know each other well at the beginning, Song Ci gave him a small bowl as a thank you, so the watermelon now seems very normal.
Song Ci is a really polite person.
Jiang Xingzhou followed the procedure and said politely: "No need, I didn't help much, I just gave some suggestions, and give me the watermelon, what do you want to eat?"
Song Ci denied it repeatedly: "No! You really helped me a lot. If it weren't for you, I would never have thought of doing this. And you also gave me so many feasible suggestions. You are really amazing!
I have another piece of this watermelon, this one is specially for you to thank you, please be sure to accept it!"
Song Ci became anxious as he spoke, fearing that Jiang Xingzhou would not accept it.
And Jiang Xingzhou never thought of not accepting it.
She was happiest of all when it came to eating and drinking for free, and as Song Ci had said, she had really contributed too much to her career as a food blogger, so what if she accepted a portion of watermelon from him
Although I had eaten it the day before yesterday.
Jiang Xingzhou coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, and was touched by what Song Ci said, saying that this little girl was really sensible.
He pretended to struggle: "Okay, I'll take this watermelon. You also work hard. I believe you can succeed!"
"Thank you!" Song Ci instantly became full of energy.
Jiang Xingzhou took the watermelon. To make himself feel more at ease, he took the initiative to mention Song Ci's video: "Have you finished shooting the video?"
"Well, the shooting is done. I followed the bloggers and changed many angles. I also shot it twice so that we can complement each other when the time comes."
"Okay." Jiang Xingzhou nodded in agreement. He didn't expect that Song Ci had already learned to draw inferences from one example.
"If you don't understand something during editing, you can come and ask me. I know all the general editing techniques," he said.
"Okay, I'll come and bother you if I encounter a problem I don't know the answer to." Song Ci said sincerely.
Jiang Xingzhou: “…” Real and sincere.
However, what he didn't know was that this was one of the reasons why Song Ci made an extra copy for him.
If you give benefits, you won't feel guilty when you ask for help next time when you encounter a problem you don't know how to solve.
However, in this situation, she didn't need to rush to ask the questions that she had just thought of during the filming, and could ask them when she encountered them during editing.
Song Ci noticed that Jiang Xingzhou was looking at the prepared iced drinks several times, so he quickly said goodbye so that Jiang Xingzhou could have some space to eat.
Jiang Xingzhou returned to the room, found the cherry blossom spoon that Song Ci had given him last time, rinsed it, put it in the watermelon container, and put a watermelon ball soaked in Sprite into his mouth.
This is considered a successful meal.
Ice cubes are added in it, so the watermelon does not feel hot when you eat it, but rather icy cold. Add the taste of Sprite, and a wonderful taste explodes in your mouth.
It tastes like... not bad
