On the timeline of events that happened in one night, three dialogues are used to interject memories, explaining the previous background, origin and development of the story and characters.
Editing:
1. Edit with actions and sight lines, arrange the relationship between shots, and deal with scene space.
2. At 1:28 when the axe smashed the door, the cross montage between the inside and outside of the door, between Holm and his wife and children, and the last cross montage of going home and saving people starting at 1:41, created a sense of tension.
Theatrical processing:
1. Create questions and suspense, and then expand the answer: why did the nun want to find Holm and his wife at the beginning, and it will be expanded layer by layer in the later episodes of Holm and the nun's memory.
2. To create a contrast, Holm's mockery of the ghost carriage story and his attitude towards the nun and his wife and children (the inner layer is Holm's giving of faith and God from rejection to acceptance: the process of making the soul mature before it is harvested) are all in Changes have taken place in the development of the story, forming a character arc; the ghost carriage and the love and sacrifice of the nun are the driving forces, and in the process, dramatic conflicts are constantly set up (ripping patches, smashing the door with an ax, etc.), and finally using the wife and children to commit suicide The dramatic climax completes the character transformation.
3. The visualization of death (death or messenger) handles and leads cognition. Later, "Life is Beautiful" uses the same method (just reversed), as well as "The Seventh Seal".
