My Hollywood System

Chapter 195:

The set was all ready to start filming in Los Angeles. It was the first day, and the sunny LA was looking enthusiastic for how the day began. The whole crew was occupied with their work, some were busy handling the equipment, and others were busy making the cast look good.

The extras were here and there, observing, chatting and looking at everything that was happening around them. There were two three camera cranes and people on the crew were walking here and there doing their own thing.

The teams were doing their own thing. Sound managers were focused on the sound equipment and the lighting crew were already running here and there with boards holding in the air, to get a good view.

Will stood in front of Andrew, who was already in his costume, and had his make-up done neat and tidily; which in fact looked natural as his own face. He was wearing a leather jacket over a check t-shirt, and with glasses he looked as if he was the geek type of students in highschool.

“....As I was saying before, I want you to run, shouting ‘stop the bus!’. Like the run must look real, because it would be perfectly taken from the side mirror of the bus. Your facial expressions should show worry, hurry and everything that a kid would possess while trying to catch the bus which seemed to give no heed of your call,” Will said, earning a nod from Andrew who looked slightly tensed.

“The cameras would be placed there, there and at that corner,” Will mentioned pointing where the cameras were placed and was in position to start the shooting. “We would take a short and a long shot of you running, and after that we could get into our next scene from where the camera would be inside the bus.

“Okay.”

“We are going to do the scene in multiple shots, so you can relax,” Will said and hesitated a bit before trying to say the other words he wanted to tell Andrew. “Try not to seem too cool, just don’t act all chill, put up a nervous face I don’t mind,”

Will had once mentioned the same thing to Andrew because he wanted to avoid the ‘coolness’ that so many people had criticised about the Spiderman in Amazing Spiderman.

“Yeah, gotcha,” Andrew said. “It would be no problem, but if there’s anything, I know you’d say, also, the rehearsals went so good right? I remember my lessons so it would not be that hard to ‘not be cool’,” He joked with a low chuckle but his eyes showed how nervous he looked.

“Hey, don’t be tense, remember how we did it the first day? It’s inside you,” Will said, patting him on the shoulder and going to where his director seat was.

Andrew nodded seeing Will walk away and calmed himself down. He then walked towards Jeffery.

“Is it ready?” Andrew questioned which Jeffrey replied by a brief nod.

The location was a street, and there were already people who were strangers and completely out of the movie set walking in the sidewalk.

Thus, shootings began, and the first scene of Andrew running towards the bus, shouting on top of his lungs, just the words ‘STOP STOP! STOP THE BUS!’ over and over which was perfectly done in a single shot.

“Cut! It was a good shot, Andrew!” Will said after looking from the little monitor. The cameras were placed on different positions and Will had to make sure from all the positions, the shot was neat and clear.

Will and everyone else went back to where they were to start from scratch. During the final cut, Will was aware that the scene would mainly focus on Norman and Peter, but nevertheless, he wanted to get the best out of every actor that shows their role in the set.

He knew that it could lead them to take their role seriously and it might even help in the process of the character growing in them.

“Quiet on set please!” Will said.

“Action!”

The clapperboard made a clap sound in front of the camera, while the filming of the scene started right away.

“Pete!” Harry said walking out of the car with a displeased look from the conversation that his father and he had.

“Hi, Harry,” Peter replied, turning to look at Harry.

“Hey, man. What’s up?” Harry questioned back.

“Harry, won’t you be needing this?” Norman walked out of the car, jogging a bit as he showed the bag which Harry left in the car.

“T hanks, dad. Um, Peter, may I introduce my father, Norman Osborn.” Harry said taking the bag and still he had his frown in his face. Peter was looking at Harry’s dad with a smile as well.

“I’ve heard so much about you,” Norman said with a smile, and Peter gave up so many expressions which yelled the emotions of him respecting the person in front of him. It was shown clearly because of how good Andrew’s acting skills were.

***

“I live with my aunt and uncle, they are proud,” Peter said while Will’s announcement to stop the shooting was heard.

“Cut! Let me check,” Will muttered quickly and took some minutes to check from the screen. He focused on both the cameras that were placed left and right to Peter and Harry. The expressions were better than before, but he noticed how Damon still looks not calm enough for the role.

“It’s lunch break!” Will said everyone to hear, while the people on set and the crew dismissed within minutes.
