Chapter 115 The movie can still be shot like this! ?

  This movie review video was also posted on Danmaku.com.

  So, not only people from Danmaku.com can see it.

  People on V blog can also see it.

  So, in addition to the fans of the vicious film critic himself, many netizens noticed this video through various communication channels.

  The first thing they saw was this 'exaggerated' title.

Horror film?

   Still a short film?

   Subverted the industry's shooting methods?

   This short sentence immediately made those who don't play games unable to sit still.

ha?

  A mere promotional short film is at best a low-cost micro-movie. How can He De have a shooting method that subverts the film and television industry?

  Is there anything special about it?

   And it's still scary?

funny!

  Everyone knows what a horror movie is. It is essentially something that capitalists use to launder money and deceive people!

  Find a few popular traffic stars in the entertainment industry, and write a third-rate earthy love script that can embarrass people to death.

   Then attract the audience in the name of a horror movie, and then make a movie poster that looks really scary, and then promote it by various pheasant media.

  You can click to harvest a wave of screenings, and harvest a wave of leeks after the screenings!

   Earn a lot of money, don't get too comfortable.

  So what about the flood of bad reviews? What about the collapse of word of mouth?

   Anyway, traffic stars only have a hot period of two or three years. After that, wouldn’t it be good to find a new traffic star?

  Fans iterate very quickly.

   How can you not join us in idol movies?

   Besides, those who are looking forward to horror movies are also quite easy to deceive.

  Although as the number of times increases, it becomes more difficult each time.

  But as long as the publicity is in place, no one is afraid that no one will pay.

   No matter how bad it is, there are still fans of traffic stars!

   Because of this, Chinese people who have been deceived several times have given up any hope for the so-called 'horror movies'.

   Even horror movies are already synonymous with bad movies.

  Once I hear that a horror movie will be released, the first reaction is a romance movie, or other types of movies.

   It's definitely not scary anyway.

   There may be ghosts, but they are just another form of human beings.

   For the screenwriters, any fairy tales, **** romances, country and urban romances, and domineering presidents falling in love with me are all outdated!

   Let’s have some new tricks, the male and female protagonists should fall in love even though they are separated by yin and yang!

  Thus, Chinese people no longer trust horror films.

  I was fed dog food every time I watched a horror movie, am I free?

  The dead can find a partner, what do you want to express as a screenwriter and director?

  So, in the period when horror movies were extremely hip, I saw such an exaggerated title about horror movies. Netizens who are familiar with the vicious film critic immediately thought that he was ridiculing and cross-talking.

  A person who criticizes bad movies and praises them will praise so much "so-called horror movies"?

  That is definitely impossible!

   Therefore, netizens already thought that this was a bad movie that would be criticized before watching it.

  But when they clicked on it, they were stunned by the first three sentences in the video.

  [If someone told me the day before yesterday that horror movies are on the rise, then I must be a big mouther, isn’t this bullying honest people? ]

   [But now, if someone comes to me and tells me that horror is on the rise, I'll just brood. because.]

  [I really see the hope and possibility of the rise of horror films! ]

  At this time, in the video, a title appeared in everyone's eyes.

   That is something that many people will be confused by, but game players are very familiar with it!

  【W-FBC-0087 Abnormality-Stairwell, Exploration Experiment Record】

   Just when some netizens who hadn't seen the original film were puzzled, the film critic spoke again.

  [At first, when I saw this video on Danmaku.com, I was also confused by the title. ]

  [I know about the stairwell, and I can also get a better understanding of the later experimental records through combination. The general idea is to explore the meaning of a certain stairwell. ]

  [But I really don’t understand what the previous number means, but the comments and bullet screens mentioned something called ‘FBC Federal Bureau of Control’. So after watching the whole short film, I searched it out and found out that it was a secret organization set up by a certain game company in its own horror game. ]

  [I didn’t realize until now that the game industry is already developing horror games, and it’s very successful! That's obvious, this short film carries two important tasks. ]

  [The first is to start the horror genre and enter the film and television industry to test the waters. The second is the derivation of the game's plot, which also complements and perfects the world view setting in the game. ]

  [But no matter what the purpose behind this short film is, it doesn’t hinder its horror plot that makes my whole body tremble! ]

   Speaking of which, the video shows the original picture of the short film.

   This allowed the netizens in front of the screen to really see the true face of this horror film.

  [The plot of the short film is neither simple nor complicated. It is an organization called the FBC Federal Bureau of Control. In a certain school, a very weird stairwell that can "swallow people" was discovered. ]

  [They numbered the stairwell W-FBC-0087. Judging from the barrage, it means anomaly No. 87. Afterwards, I also learned about it. It is said that the control bureau has given names and codes to each anomaly. The tallest known now is Phantom Helmet No. 825. But this is something in the game, so we won't mention it for now. ]

  [Then arrange personnel to enter this stairwell to explore and investigate, and then encounter a series of terrifying incidents that send chills down the spine. ]

[Specifically, there are strange women crying, inexplicable footsteps, invisible hanged female corpses, red writing that can only be seen in night vision mode, etc., and the most intuitive, most sleep-deprived scary grimaces , all of which satisfy all my horror fantasies about the dark stairwell! ]

  [Now, I'll show you the face in the clip. ]

  In the video, a pale and cold face without pupils suddenly appeared.

  The strange appearance without jaw and mouth, and completely hidden in the darkness made netizens who have never seen the original film gasp.

  They, who have never seen a real horror movie, have seen such a horror that made their whole body numb.

  So they pressed the → key on the keyboard one after another, and fast forwarded a few seconds in order to skip.

   And the film critics seemed to know that this face was too shocking, so they didn't keep it all the time, and soon replaced it with other pictures.

  [When I saw this face, I was dumbfounded. This is too scary, not only the plot is scary, but even the modeling is scary! This double sense of horror overwhelms, for those who have never watched horror movies, it is really a bit too much impact. ]

  [But I am very happy, very happy! Because finally there is such a horror movie that can scare people! Finally a real horror movie! Although it is a short film, it is not a movie type. But from this short film, it can be seen that if you want to make a horror movie, you can really do it! ]

  [This short film is 46 minutes long and tells the story of three explorations. The first two times were ordinary people, and the third time was a team of 6 soldiers. The reversal and creative techniques here are not spoilers, it is best to watch it yourself, it will definitely shock you beyond thinking. ]

  [But is that the end? Although the horror of the plot and the horror of the modeling are amazing, this is only one of the highlights. What really surprised me is that the shooting method used in this short film is an 'alternative method that is unimaginable on the market! ']

   At this time, the doctor at the beginning of the video appeared on the video screen.

  He sat in front of the camera and tried to take off his mask, but was stopped.

  The screen freezes here.

  The voice of the film critic sounded again.

  [This short film, it was shot in 2022. But it is very different from other 2022 films. The most obvious is the picture quality. ]

  [Look carefully, this picture is not a 16:9 widescreen, but a 4:3 square screen. Putting it on the current widescreen player, there will be left and right black bars, which looks like a TV shot a long time ago. We used to use big iron TVs and white big screens, which are 4:3 square screens. ]

  [The next step is to create the style of the short film. ]

  [The background of this short film is the West in 195?. The director estimated that in order to create the atmosphere of the age, he deliberately made it similar to the style of old video tapes. The picture is full of jumping noise and lines of signal failure. The edges of characters are distorted, blurred, and smear when moving. It's all so real! ]

  [Because the whole short film is in the style of a video film, the color looks extraordinarily dim. Compared with the current ultra-clear Blu-ray images, it is simply out of place, but it also has a novel experience. Just like the Renaissance, extra chic and nostalgic. It's as if this horror short film was really shot in the 50s, very real and old. ]

   At this time, when the netizens in front of the screen saw this, they all had a novel look as the film critics said.

  Because on the market now, whether it is a movie or a TV series, ultra-clear images are emerging one after another, and various special effects are bombarded one after another, which has already made people visually tired.

  At this moment, in such an 'advanced' ultra-high-definition era, such an 'old' film comparable to standard definition suddenly appeared, how could it not be interesting?

  Plus this film is not boring, the plot seems to be very good, but also very scary.

  This allows the netizens in front of the screen to explore the past and understand the era of the generation of their parents.

   Even if it is the West.

   At this time, the voice of film critics sounded again.

  [Besides the picture of the old video tape full of personality, another highlight is the key reason why I decided to make this video! We don't talk about the plot of the film, nor the setting and the horror. Let's take a look at how this short film is "opportunistic", choosing a shooting technique that the film and television industry has never thought of. ]

  The film quickly transitioned, starting from the sitting doctor's narration, and then switched to another screen.

  A first-person live view!

  [The movies and TV series we watched in the past were filmed in such a way that we, as the audience, watched the whole movie from a third-person perspective. The advantage of this shooting method is that it can put the audience in the perspective of God, and then watch the story performance of everyone in the movie and TV series. ]

  [This is also a shooting method that has not changed since the development of the film and television industry. ]

  [But now, I see a different, new shooting technique. ]

  [It is in the form of live recording! ]

  In front of the screen, many netizens who hadn't watched the original film were stunned when they saw this.

   Filming as a live video?

  How to shoot?

  Is it possible to make a movie in this way? Can you make a TV series?

  At this time, netizens are not clear about the so-called live video format.

  Everyone here has more or less watched the live broadcast, especially the short video, which is innumerable and varied.

  Let’s not talk about those self-promotional videos without shooting skills, just talk about the live broadcast reports in the news, it’s hard to think that this can make a movie?

   And still scary?

   At this time, most of the netizens who don't play games curled their lips and felt a little disdainful.

  The format of live video recording, in fact, everyone knows everything.

  Now there are a lot of them on the short video platform.

  Whether it’s cooking, outdoor adventures, or survival on a deserted island, all of them show the ‘extremely low cost’ and ‘do whatever you want’.

  A mobile phone, or a camera, can take pictures of this thing, so it can take good pictures?

   Those on the short video platform, because the shooting is simple and the equipment requirements are not high. All kinds of "shoddy" gadgets have appeared, polluting the senses and big data of the vast number of netizens.

  This so-called live video recording method gives the impression that it is unprofessional and full of amateurism.

   Can you still make a movie just like this?

   Netizens are a little bit unconvinced, but the vicious film critics have come out, and it’s okay not to believe it.

  Actually, it is no wonder that they have such a reaction. The main reason is that there are no such movies made by live video on the market today.

  Because there is no one, it is quite normal not to believe it.

  But film critics should not be so unreasonable, so netizens still choose to watch it.

   Afterwards, the voice of the film critic sounded with the shaking of the first-person perspective in the screen.

[see it? This is a first-person shooting technique. At first, when I saw this, I almost turned it off. Because in my opinion, those who shoot short films like this are self-proclaimed people who have no professional technology and equipment support, and just start messing around with a mobile phone or a camera. ]

  [But later, I found out that I was wrong. After continuing to read, the more I read, the more frightened I became. Because it's so immersive! ]

  [First-person shooting techniques, real and unpretentious on-the-spot reactions, fear and fear in the face of strange events, can't see the protagonist, but can always feel the strange perception of the protagonist's existence. Just let me subconsciously enter it! The whole process seems to be the same as what I experienced in it. ]

  [It abandons the perspective of God, deliberately downplays the protagonist, and strengthens the rendering and portrayal of the atmosphere, so that the audience can intuitively substitute into it. ]

  [Do you know? I felt the panic of entering a haunted house in an amusement park the whole time! It's as real as if I was there in person! And surrounded by fear all the time! ]

  [In the previous movies and TV series, I only felt that I had watched a good or bad story. But this short film gave me a sense of sight to experience the story! ]

   Netizens in front of the screen were stunned when they saw this.

   I'm a trough!

   There really are!

  The method of live video recording can really make a complete movie! ?

  The sense of substitution is still so strong, can it make people feel immersive?

real or fake?

  Damn it!

  Which company took this photo?

  The only game of the producer?

  Producer Shimmer?

  Published by FBC

  Shooting company Magic Shadow Studio?

  Director Lin.

record!

   It's awesome!

   At this time, the voice of the film critic continued to sound in the video.

  [This kind of shooting method is exactly the sense of substitution that cannot be given by the conventional third person! Moreover, the cost of such a shooting method should not be too high, but the requirements for the actors in the shooting will be very high. ]

  [Because this film is limited by the form of live recording, it cannot do the camera switching like regular films. Therefore, this film uses a first-person shot to the end! ]

  [My God! One mirror to the end! Still in the first person! What a concept! 3 times of exploration, each time is a shot to the end, without any camera switching in the middle! Do you know what this means? ]

  [It means that if you make a small mistake, you have to start over! The film is so smooth, I can't even imagine how many times it took NG to make such a film. In addition, the special effects inside are not too obvious, achieving the sense of mystery and obscurity that horror movies should have! ]

  The netizens in front of the screen were all taken aback when they saw this.

  If the so-called live video recording method made them confused, then this one shot to the end really surprised them.

  More than 40 minutes, three explorations, all three times in one shot?

   So how long will this take? Need to test the actor's skills again?

   Based on this alone, this short film can be called awesome!

  [It’s really great, a small game-derived short film, relying on the popular live video format that everyone can do, has opened up a new shooting method! It can be called a rising star in the industry! ]

  [And it’s a horror movie, the kind of horror movie that can really scare people and has a lot of stamina after watching it! ]

  [Here, I give the short film Z-FBC-0087 Stairwell an 8.5 points! It didn't score 9 points because it's not strictly a movie. It didn't explain the world view and character background, and didn't leave any ending. Everything seemed abrupt. ]

  [If you score by the film's standards, it obviously fails. So the score of 8.5 is because it is creative enough, exciting enough, and scary enough! ]

  [I look forward to a real horror movie similar to this kind in the future! ]
