[出走地平線：一指向北]
Flattening The Curve : Thumbs North
電影籌備的一環是四出找外景，希望找到視覺澄明，同時合乎劇本描寫的事物的需要。
然而很多時我們早上找到的地方，卻是劇本註明黃昏時分的地點； 中午抵埗，要拍的卻是日出。
自然光會給這空間怎樣的框框，怎樣的外觀？陰影會落在哪裏？演員該往哪兒走、該坐哪裏受光，才合乎該場景的感覺？
因為太陽從東方升起，從西方落下，最簡單而基本的，就是不如索性坐南面北，作一些有所本的決定，然後拜託老天千萬別下雨了。
In preparation for a film, we scout locations to find spaces that are visually lucid, and still logistically appropriate to the events the script suggests.
But much of the time we might see a place in the morning that in the script is supposed to be shot at dusk. Or we might arrive at noon for a scene that should be lit by the rising sun.
How will the natural light frame the space and define its surfaces? Where will the shadows fall? Which direction should the actors be walking or where should they sit to catch the light we feel is right for this or that scene?
Since we believe the sun will rise in the East and set in the West, the easiest way to make some basic choices is to point North, make some informed decisions, and then hope it doesn’t rain!
