Although "Joker" is not a horror movie, it still has a certain horror atmosphere to create a crime genre like this movie. Only represent personal opinions and share personal understanding with you from the perspective of audition:
The first is characterization:
1. Character image:
Compared with a normal and harmless clown, the facial makeup is softer and rounder, which is close to the original appearance of the facial features; while the clown in this film has thin and tall mouths and large diamond-shaped eyes with sharp angles. The characters are sharp and full of aggressiveness. More like a skeleton.
In addition, the red, green, and yellow colors of the later costumes are strongly conflicting, forming a distinctive character symbol. This kind of color conflict itself has a sense of "uneasy" from the psychological level.
2. Character voice shaping
Alienated laughter often makes people wonder whether he is laughing or crying, needless to say.
The second is the big environment
The depressed tone, and the disordered environment of the riots. The whole city is full of garbage and graffiti.
From the auditory level, there are often the sound of police cars whistling, and there are some details that shape the internal and external sound of the character, such as "opening the door" and "leaning against the wall", etc., not to mention one by one.
Then there is the photography style and editing rhythm.
(I don’t have time to organize it in detail, everyone is welcome to discuss together)
