I am a person who is extremely afraid of ghosts, and sometimes I think, what if I make a ghost movie?
Couples flirting on the night road, a panoramic long shot, until the audience realizes that the number of shadows is wrong.
The camera follows the couple's shoulders across the window, and a person's head is looking at you, smiling.
In the middle of the night, urinating, going to the bathroom, chanting "don't say bloody mary, don't say bloody mary", the camera inadvertently brought to the mirror, the toilet was pumping, you pinched your toes and walked back to the bed, relieved, closed your eyes, suddenly opened, Steal a glance in the direction of the bathroom, no, there's no one there, yes, it's all bullshit, you can sleep. Panorama, Mary with the axe, lying next to you.
From my personal experience, the unwritten rule of a thriller is that the means used are illegal without stripping away the audience's sense of space.
For example, close-up of a person's face, suddenly his eyes are penetrated by something, and blood is flying.
At that moment, it was scary, but nutritious.
It must be a medium shot, putting the victim in a certain possibility, first establishing the audience's sense of security, and then trying hard to peel off that thin layer of trust together with the victim's skin.
"Provocation" is the most natural and most difficult part of a thriller. It is worth pondering and is a balance between the director and the audience.
In the beach scene of "Jaws", Spielberg played with the audience naked. It was in a position that was elusive, tickling the nerve, and scratching the itch was the most unbearable. The moment the monster really appeared, it was the beginning of the low tide. A crush on a truth.
"The Conjuring 2" is very well shot. Its value lies in the relay of the "natural aesthetics" of Hollywood thrillers. It teases the audience with an upright composition. You know there are ghosts in the water, but you just don't know how it will come out. The camera is sufficient The audience thinks about time, fairness, character, and then beats your self-righteousness. The back and forth between the hostess and the witch in front of the mirror in the room is classic and wonderful.
In that sense, The Joker is shit.
