681. Horror Movies Without Dead People
Shooting horror movies is indeed very different from other films. It may be easier to make a person cry, laugh, be sad, etc. However, it is a bit difficult to make people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. Even for acting at the best actor level, it is not so easy to do!
Many people think that it seems that making horror movies is simple, but it is really an illusion. Whether a person is really scared or fake is the easiest to tell whether it is a person.
However, it is difficult for you to control this emotion during shooting. Fear is an innate instinct for people, but it is really a bit difficult to perform.
After all, when actors act in horror movies, they can’t really use chainsaws?
Therefore, it can be said that the most difficult thing for a director to make a horror movie is that on the one hand, you have to tell the story well, and on the other hand, you have to create a horror atmosphere through different means in different clips!
The biggest problem for an actor to act in a horror movie is that the expression of fear is far more difficult to control than other feelings.
There was a scene where Reiko Asagawa was scared. When the heroine was filming, she couldn't get into the scene. Finally, Wang Yifan listened to the advice of an assistant director and got a dead mouse to finally shoot the shot she wanted.
The story of "Midnight Bell" is definitely not complicated. Four students died mysteriously, and reporter Asakawa was sent to investigate...
The storyline is still very clear, and then the video tape that everyone is familiar with appears. During the trailer, the content of this video tape was also released. It can be said that many people were attracted by the video tape, just to see the scene of the people in Toei Tsukamoto Oshima who was frightened and sweating profusely.
This video tape combined with the plot, coupled with the wonderful interpretation of Reiko Asagawa when watching the video tape, and the horror atmosphere rendered by dubbing, the audience who have watched this video tape more than once suddenly realized that when watching it by yourself, there were two completely different feelings when watching it in the theater, one kind of fear came from the inside out.
The main plot of the film can be said to be very simple and clear. In two hours, a single mother is basically in the story of a single mother looking for the perpetrator to relieve herself and know the curse.
However, as the plot progressed, countless viewers in the theater held their breath, especially when the previous video tape appeared for the first time, although there was a dubbing and rendering atmosphere, it actually did not meet everyone's expectations, which once disappointed some people.
It was the scene where Xiaomu Shangwu was scared. In fact, when this period first appeared, if it weren't for Xiaomu Shangwu's departure, he might not have been scared.
Just like what Xiaomu Shangwu said, he was scared because it was too sudden.
However, as the plot progressed, when this video tape appeared for the second time, there was not much change in the content. It was still a woman who combed her hair in front of the mirror and looked at herself, but the direction changed, making the woman look back to you, but she could communicate with the audience's eyes through the mirror. Although these changes were not big, they brought people a completely different feeling.
Especially when the red blood-covered eye suddenly occupied the entire screen, all the audience's heart suddenly tightened, a cold air passed through the top, and the cold sweat was pouring on their backs...
This is the importance of atmosphere rendering.
Because of that slight change, people will start to automatically make up for it.
In fact, Wang Yifan always thought that the most terrifying thing was Shizuko's strange smile. In order to take a good smile, Wang Yifan took more than twenty photos before choosing one from them.
Because he didn't know how to describe that weird smile in words.
However, after being scared, there were still some people who were a little confused. Yes, the scene just now was indeed scared to everyone and sweating, but it seemed that it was not as Wang Yifan said before, after watching it, it might be scared to death or scared people to death.
Although this scene is quite scary, it is so scary that it is not.
But the video soon solved the mystery for them.
When Sadako crawled out of the well and finally climbed out of the TV, the scene of many viewers was suddenly scared to the point of pale faces.
Especially when shooting this scene, the scene where Sadako crawled directly to the camera, and under the 3D effect, it was like Sadako crawling towards the audience outside the movie screen!
"ah!"
"ah……"
Many people screamed on the spot, and screams sounded in the scene, and some people even cried out in fright.
At this moment, both the audience and the media reporters have long forgotten the purpose of their coming. The mind is full of the scene just now. Speaking of which, from beginning to end, Sadako appeared for a short time, less than a minute, and the whole film is not as seen in the past. Traditional ghost scares people, but a kind of natural fear of unknown things.
Yuko Aso performed the most excessively. I don’t know if it was intentional. The drink cup in her hand was frightened and threw it around, and it just happened to hit Komaki Sabu’s head.
However, this made Xiaomu Shangwu very scared, and after this, he fell to the ground in fright.
Interestingly, the entire film of "Midnight Bell" can actually be said to be without the scenes of the dead. Only when Sadako's body was dug out, it was considered as if it was dug out. Even if Asakawa's ex-husband died in the end, it was also informed by the side. Therefore, this is a more strange horror film, a more weird ghost film. The horror lies in the fact that it is a fear that makes people feel from the bottom of their hearts.
There are actually not many real visual impacts, but as the plot progresses, the audience will be brought into the horror atmosphere created by the film.
When Sadako's body was found, the audience also breathed a sigh of relief. Some people who had never read the novel thought that the curse was lifted and the matter was over!
For example, Xiaomu Shangwu, he had never read the novel "Midnight Bell". So he shook his head, wiped the cold sweat that did not exist and said disdainfully: "That's it?"
And the second day of the video, the eighth day after Asakawa and his ex-husband watched the video, which was exactly seven days later. Takayama Ryuji still died!
Only then did everyone realize that finding Sadako's body was not a real way to relieve the curse!
Not finished yet? Many viewers' hearts are hanging. People who watch horror movies usually have a contradictory mentality, that is, they are afraid to watch, but they want to watch it. This is how everyone feels at this moment!
When Asakawa saw a man with his head covered in the reflection of the video tape pointing at her cell phone on the coffee table, he suddenly realized why he and Takayama Ryuji had watched the video tape, but he was fine. Takayama Ryuji died, and then he realized that the person who had watched the video tape could lift the curse as long as the person who had watched the video tape was transferred to others to watch it.
However, after watching the video together, four high school students died bizarrely at the same time. Because they forwarded it to Takayama Ryuji, they asked him to study it, which means they transferred the curse to him.
One life exchanges another life! She finally knew that if everyone who has watched the video tape forwarded it to others, she could lift the curse on her body.
So Asakawa picked up his cell phone and quickly called the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, telling him that he had found an important clue and had forwarded it to him!
At the end of the dark road, the whole film is over!
