All darkness belongs to the world of light and shadow of Master Murnau

As night fell, the lonely figure of Zhen Zhen was tightly surrounded. The night is wearing a hideous mask for the impressively erect cliffs, and the bleak cold wind blows through the winding mountain road overgrown with weeds, seeming to greedily suck the blood that has not dried on the ground. The galloping horses are pulling the carriages that look like a hearse, and the creaking sound, passing by the devil's urging talisman, the reason can no longer be supported by this sound, and there is no more power to struggle, let the magic lead Toward the gloomy castle, the ancient wooden door slowly opened, and the strangeness that had never been seen before flowed out of the castle.

The great German expressionist film master Murnau used his keen sense of light and shadow to magically show us a nightmare world of Gothic. The blue lens tone creates a gloomy breath of death in the picture, marveling at the birth of the film. The film coloring technology that has been in existence since 20 or 30 years has given me a deeper sensory understanding of silent films. Murnau’s lens attaches great importance to the intensity of light and shadow and the visual contrast caused by different tones inside and outside, thereby highlighting the atmosphere, and paying attention to the promotion of the plot by the switching of the environment. The simple photography skills seem to be lagging behind today. Constantly praised by future generations.

    Two brushes. Watched with friends. Interesting to say, this b was still despising the old and obsolete silent films two hours ago, and now he is so frightened that he doesn't even dare to go home after watching it.
