Chapter 971

When Omon brainstormed ways to die together in "Death Comes", all he came up with were bloody ways to die.

Lin Xiao was very curious, where did Nami find these two distinctive screenwriters.

"What elements do you think horror movies should have? Tell us your opinions." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"I'll come first." Omon said with a restrained mind.

"To talk about horror films, first of all, I think we need to distinguish clearly who the audience of horror films is. In my opinion, the elderly are generally not interested in such films, or the concept of ghosts and gods is intentionally avoided, or It may be that they have become numb after reading the vicissitudes of life, or their body is weakened and unbearable. In short, those who love this kind of film must be the people who are in the prime of life and born at the time of prosperity! It is also characterized by love of fantasy, joy and excitement. The ultimate emotional experience, so the crowd can focus on the intensity, like surging waves, a wave of strength!"

"Horror films can be roughly divided into three categories. One is supernatural horror. This kind of horror film usually uses some supernatural and unknown supernatural monsters. The other is psychological suggestion. For some horror films, the whole film may There are no dead people, but it can make people feel fear. Most of these horror films use psychological hints, environmental rendering, etc. to achieve horror effects. The last category is my favorite category, that is bloody horror , using various methods to achieve bloodshed, in fact, comprehensively, it is bleeding, but there are many ways of bleeding, such as dismemberment, such as cutting and so on.”

"Then I have to talk about scary things. There will be ghosts, people, monsters, monsters, insects, beasts, or invisible forces in the film. Anything that poses a huge threat to people's vital interests can become a terrifying thing! Horror things have different shapes, but at the beginning they are so powerful that they often make the characters in the film helpless, bloody and tearful, and on the verge of collapse!"

"The idea of ​​fright. If a horrible thing is powerful, its counterpart must have the idea of ​​frightened people! Without this idea, the whole story cannot be established. The idea comes from "story foreshadowing, environment creation, and plot." Setting, sound effect coordination, character and other comprehensive effects, and the most direct carrier is the actors! The actors in this kind of film may have unusual appearance or superb acting skills, or the gloomy side of the character is strengthened and stimulated. In short, it combines the film As a whole, the sense of horror, words of fear, and thoughts of trembling shown are enough to make the audience feel synesthesia!

"Unfortunate things, but there must be unfortunate things in such films, such as injury or death or misfortune or loss or collapse, and unfortunate things are born from horrible things and then produce panic, and the things will be repeated. Happen and keep escalating until the worst point comes!

abused person.Horror (thriller) movies all take people as the main body, and the people in them must become the objects of tragic abuse!It can be a group of people, who die one by one, such as "The Grim Reaper", you may be the next one to die.

Suspense arises one after another.Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is what everyone will do. How to stay away from scary things and get rid of panic thoughts has become an inevitable choice for every frightened person!And every time he tried, was frustrated again and again, escaped by chance again and again, and threatened again and again, there were always twists and turns after all the tricks were calculated. Although he might know the ending, he often didn't know what would happen in the next moment! "

Ou Meng has obviously done research on this, and when he said it, he said it all!

Lin Xiao nodded, noncommittal.

Instead, he looked at Selina, who had a childlike face and a giant R.

Selina adjusted her sitting posture, and then said, "I think horror movies are nothing more than physical or psychological torture."

"In other words, it's pain. It doesn't matter whether the pain is as small as scratching a blackboard with your fingernails or as big as putting a steel needle into your flesh. What really creates fear is the process of waiting for the pain to come. Medieval European It is recorded in torture classics that jailers sometimes find that when prisoners hear others crying, they will think that the other party is being tortured, and feel fear because of this. Thus, a method of torture that uses imaginary fear to make people submit was born.

Then judge people by their appearance, which has continued since the birth of human beings.Although some people can't believe this statement, in fact, it just shows that this instinct deeply rooted in genes helps people to quickly make a judgment on a person's likes and dislikes when they first come into contact, although the probability of making mistakes is not high. Low, but effective in a horror story.The earlier in a civilization, the more ugly things are ostracized and associated with evil.This is why ghosts and witches are always portrayed as hideous, or ugly people are always prone to criticism and slander, which in turn triggers their cruel revenge.In many horror movies, killers often wear scary masks because it can deepen people's fear.

And then there's death, which in the final analysis is the most convenient element to trigger fear.Regardless of any cultural system around the world, it spares no effort to describe and interpret death.And most religions have their own set of explanations and methods for death to help believers face the last moment calmly.Compared with the end of life, those sudden and unexpected deaths always break people's sense of control and cause fear.In the movie "Death is Coming", the audience often guesses when and how the character will die when watching the movie.

Then there is loneliness. A person's perception of terror is completely different from that of a group of people.When a person has nothing else to rely on, the possibility of entering the explosive state of breaking the boat is actually very small, and most people will be paralyzed.Because humans are social animals, living in groups for thousands of years has made us accustomed to connecting with others.So you have to sever that connection now, not only to isolate the protagonist, but also to leave your villain alone, because this isolation can make his behavior more elusive.

Finally, we ourselves, because of the communication characteristics of the news media, they are always willing to present the most sensational content to everyone.And the limitations of human cognition are also affected by this, thinking that the world is in chaos, and murderous maniacs and violence are flooding the streets.People like blood and gore, and they will be attracted by those unimaginable violence in ordinary times, because they all break through the moral code and stand on its opposite—the animal side. "

"That's a good summary!" Lin Xiao nodded.

Of course, anyone can sum it up, or everyone knows why horror movies are scary, but how to use stories to shape horror and arouse people's inner fear is something that all horror movie makers need to think about The problem.
