How do comedies and horror movies push the atmosphere to a climax?
Horror films have basic narrative patterns and typical closed scenes. Give the audience audio-visual enjoyment. Some terrible horror films only torture the imagination of the audience with the plain expression of violence, which completely hits the audience's audio-visual nerves.
Of course, there are also many famous directors who are full of the spirit of exploring the supernatural world. For example, Coppola's Four Hundred Years of Surprise (1992),
Stanley wrote this? Kubrick directed and based on Steven? The film adapted from Kim's best-selling horror novel is recognized as the most artistic horror film. The story tells that a hotel in the mountainous area of Loki was cut off by heavy snow, and the torrance family had to stay here. Son Danny has super powers, which makes him see something that others can't see-the ghost in the hotel. Danny's father was driven by the ghost of the hotel, and his spirit gradually went crazy. ...
On the basis of this wonderful story, the director used a film language different from the previous mainstream horror films to describe the horrible atmosphere. It is not a bloody shot to win, but to dig deep into the horror of the audience. The heavy and grotesque silence around the hotel makes people feel claustrophobic.
The director carefully handled the audio and video, and strongly rendered the horror atmosphere in the story. The movement of the theme of this article, let's go deeper into the processing of the picture.
First of all, let's pay attention to the movement form of the lens in the film. From the first shot of the film, the image style of the whole film was set. A group of aerial cameras with a wide field of vision constantly monitored the yellow car, passed through the dense maple leaf forest and came to the desolate snow-capped mountains. This kind of lens tightens the nerves of the audience and brings the specific atmosphere of the film. After that, the scene of the film was closed in a psychedelic hotel. They are all square buildings, which brings relative restrictions to photography. If you want a smooth picture and rich film details, you must use a mobile phone camera. Handheld photography has strong flexibility and freedom. Camera stabilizer has become the preferred auxiliary tool for photography (camera stabilizer is the main sports equipment in contemporary film creation, which appeared in the 1970s. It is famous for its free and stable moving pictures, and many subsequent films have been fully practiced, and it is still an important tool for photographers. Most of the moving shots in the film are completed by the camera stabilizer, which is applied to the extreme in the maze scene. The narrow passage and the front of the field of vision are unknown. According to the motion characteristics of the camera stabilizer, the lens becomes a subjective visual point with the photographer's movement, which makes the audience feel that the fate of the mother and son will be controlled by a third party and encounter unknown experiences in this mysterious maze. In the last scene of the film, it returns to the maze, which is covered with heavy snow, forming a white tone and adding mystery with the help of blue light. In this scene, Danny runs away from his crazy father, and the camera closely follows the camera stabilizer, shaking slightly when accelerating. This kind of action can not only show Danny's nervousness, but also closely connect with the specific scene and set off the climax of the film. The moving lens can always guide the audience to consider the development of the story from the first angle, and Danny's fate has attracted the attention of the audience.
In addition to the camera stabilizer, sports photography trolley, rail car and "Daolai" car are also used. In the scene of Danny riding a tricycle in the hotel, he uses a mobile car to move smoothly on the smooth floor. Coupled with the use of wide-angle lens, in the running process of the corridor, the objects in the picture are basically unchanged, and the environment is constantly changing. The walls on both sides slowly disappear behind the field of vision, and the camera keeps moving forward, without giving the audience the opportunity to stop thinking or escape because of fear, they can only follow the picture to the end, and finally find the terrible dead twin sister that Danny saw. In this group of moving long shots, the illusion of prolonged time brought by exercise gives the audience enough time to induce rich psychological actions through physical movements in the picture, coupled with the emotions in memory, to stimulate the generation of fear.
Also, careful observation can also be found that there is a slight jitter hidden in the seemingly static picture, and the composition of things around the picture is slowly changed under the condition that the object is unchanged. But this is definitely not a mistake for Kubrick, who is demanding. This is intentional. It may have been shot with a fixed-angle camera held by a camera stabilizer. Here, we can get that there are countless changes in the scope and way of movement, and even this slight movement can convey the inner meaning of movement, which is like simulating people's subjective views again. In fact, watching the whole film, there is a ghost in the story that makes people crazy, that is, he keeps an eye on the family's every move in the hotel. However, our audience has become a part of the monitoring, which makes people feel scared.
At that time, it was the promotion period of zoom lens photography lens, which used the lens change of photography lens itself to produce effects and simulate the push-pull change of camera. This method is essentially different from push-pull and looks unnatural on the screen. But it is a good medicine in the thriller with special theme and bizarre narrative. After mastering the simulated push and pull, you can give full play to its advantages. In the scene where Danny reads REDRUM in his mouth and holds a knife in his hand, his mother wakes up to find the words reflected on the door in the mirror. When panic occurs, photography will use multiple sets of fast zooming and pushing methods to enhance the impact of the panic. This kind of simulated action is very difficult for the actual action, but it is just right here.
From the perspective of photography, a unique photography angle can achieve a unique psychological effect. The choice of angle also has an important influence on the action. In a scene where Danny is playing with toys in the corridor, it gives people a sense of foreboding to describe Danny's position with actions in many directions. Danny was closely watched, and the movement of the camera from top to bottom made the environment strange for a while.
It should also be said that the composition of the picture is adjusted by movement, and the movement changes the scene of the picture. Many times, it is pulled from a small scene to a big scene, some of which are simulated and swaying. The shaking lens shows all kinds of hallucinations that my mother encountered on the way to find the lost Danny at last. First, a close-up of mother's frightened expression, and then suddenly, an anonymous person with blood dripping from his head appeared in the open distance, which was not difficult but also visually shocking.
The above is my discussion on the horror atmosphere created by the camera movement through the film The Shining. After several aspects of analysis, I also have a lot.
