The story told in the movie is very simple, and the whole film is only played by the male protagonist. In the face of such a monotonous scene, lighting is especially important. There are a total of 5 light sources with different colors and properties in the movie. 1. The erratic firelight The erratic light emitted by the lighter makes the scene inside the coffin bright and dark. The male protagonist woke up in the darkness, and found his situation under the unstable light source. The firelight reflected the panic and panic in the male protagonist's heart at this time.
2. The cold blue fluorescent male protagonist found his mobile phone and called for help from the outside world. He successively dialed 911/FBI/company/government department. Constant transfer, meaningless inquiries, no flustered tone at all, the blue fluorescence emanating from the screen reflects the coldness of human nature.
3. Eerie, dark green light The green light bar doesn't produce enough light to illuminate the entire coffin. In a dark corner, a viper is waiting for an opportunity. Behind the phone, the robber's low and evil tone made people shudder.
4. The suddenly dangerous Hongguang government bombed the area, the coffin could not bear the pressure and began to break, and a large amount of sand poured in. The red light symbolizing danger exacerbates the severity of the situation at this time.
5. When the white light emitted by the white light flashlight is reflected on the male protagonist's face, the male protagonist is talking on the phone with his mother with dementia. The steady white light symbolizes warmth and hope at this time.
And when the white light shines directly on the male protagonist's face, his face is completely white, and the surrounding is endless darkness. At this time, the company called and said that it would not be responsible for the male protagonist and his family, which also portrayed the inner despair of the male protagonist.
The last male protagonist watched the fire go out, and knew that his hope was dashed in his heart. Suddenly, a rescue call came in. At this time, his wife's call finally came back, and he rekindled hope. He promised to go back to his wife, and the flashlight glowed bright white again. Dan deceived him, however. At the last moment, he kept saying okay okay, and when the flashlight was submerged in the sand, it still radiated light and was buried alive.
The rescue team calmed him down and told him there was still hope not to give up. The kidnappers persecuted him again and again, threatening him with his family's life. The company directly asked him not to leave insurance money for his family after his death. He was struggling between hope and despair, in a small coffin, like a fish flapping in a basket. To be buried alive while struggling is the real meaning of being buried alive.
