The film we are going to talk about today is directed by David Fincher, who has directed "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "Fight Club."
Speaking of which, you know how high its gold content is. Finch style can be seen everywhere in the film. It's "Thriller Space".
"Thriller Space"
The reason why this film is brought out today is not because of how wonderful its plot is. Compared to Fincher's other films, "Thriller Room" really pales in comparison. But in terms of the entire film market, it still has the right to speak, at least it provides ideas for the shooting of secret room movies in the future.
The first draft of the film was done by David Cape and took a total of 6 days. The female lead in the film, Judifu, took over the role 9 days before the start of filming. The queen is the queen, and her strength is still there.
The following contains minor spoilers
The main story of the film is that three thieves broke into the house of the heroine, and the heroine and her daughter used the safe room to fight wits and courage with the thieves. Later, the thieves got into an infighting, and one was killed. The kindest of the two remaining thieves killed the other and protected the hostess' family. The story sounds simple, but it is not so easy to express it in the form of film. It should be said that it is very difficult.
The rhythm in the early part of the movie is so tight that it makes you forget you're still holding your pee. I even held the phone while my palms were sweating constantly.
So today we will take a look at how David Fincher, the big director, creates such a tense and thrilling atmosphere for the audience.
First, the lens.
There are long, long, moving long shots used in the film. For example, when shooting the villa bought by the heroine, I kept shooting from here to there from the beginning to the end, which fully reflected the complexity of the interior structure and the spaciousness of the house. It laid the groundwork for the subsequent development of the plot.
One of the most classic long shots in the film is that when the thief came to the heroine's villa, the camera did not shoot the scene directly. Instead, it starts with a close-up of the heroine Meg, and the camera slowly zooms out, and then moves from the third floor to the main entrance on the first floor. At this time, the thief outside the window appears in the camera. With the contrast of the rainy night atmosphere, people shudder at the figures on the glass windows.
Is this over? no. The camera continues to follow the thief's footsteps from the front door to the back door, from the first floor to the second floor, from the second floor to the third floor, and then to the roof. The use of long shots ensures the integrity of time and space to the greatest extent, and can fully mobilize the audience's imagination, holding the audience's nervous nerves in their hands. I have to admire that Finch's use of the lens is so real. So many camera positions and so many moving shots made him addicted.
In addition to long shots, there is also the use of CG technology, which adds a lot of strange colors to the film. For example, when the thief unlocked the door from the outside, the internal structure of the lock cylinder was directly displayed on the screen, which further enhanced the tense atmosphere at that time.
Second, light.
Light is the easiest thing to ignore, because it always blends in with the plot of the movie, making us mistakenly think that it was like that at the time. In fact, this is not the case, this is a little trick the director played on us. The color and brightness of all the sets were deliberately altered by the director.
For example, the light in the whole villa is relatively dark, but the secret room where the heroine and daughter are hiding is particularly bright. The reason for this is to show that outside the secret room is an extremely scary place, and you can feel the warmth when you are in the secret room. In addition, the bright light can better show the facial expressions of the terrified mother and daughter in the secret room.

Finally, acting.
I don't need to go into details about the acting skills, I'll give a brief introduction to the actors.
The heroine Meg is played by Fody Foster, a two-time Oscar winner.
Daughter Sarah is played by Kristen Stewart, the heroine of "Twilight", who was only 11 years old when she played "Thriller".
The Black Thief is played by Forest Whitaker, the fourth black actor in Oscar history.
