Rosemary's Style Lens Language

Each picture is full of tension to render the overall atmosphere. From the movement of characters, the display of props and objects, and the composition of pictures with high density, we can find the sense of tension. For example, the editing point of the composition of each single shot is the movement of the character. Suddenly a driver blocking the car appears in the middle of the screen, or the face of the character suddenly faces the camera. This editing point not only plays the role of smoothly connecting the shots, It also constitutes the style of the film. Prop objects with sharp edges appear prominently in the perspective of the picture, such as elevators, such as knives, such as cups. The scene scheduling of these shots and the soft light treatment of the overall shot design, coupled with the scrawny appearance of the actors, coupled with the religious child's voice, or the piano sound in the empty room, directly shaped the perfect The literary style of a suspense film.
Polanski is an absolute master of storytelling. The film does not have the usual horror and suspense films, the kind of very additive scene-by-scene shots, and the cruel tenderness in this soft light is better than that kind of performance style.
