Chapter 253: A New Style of Pseudo-Documentary
The sound of magnificent music sounds, on a big screen at Ordeo Studios in Toronto, and on a big screen at Landmark Studios in Los Angeles, the opening credits of Lionsgate appear, the teeth of the machine are turning, the picture is pushed out of the door hole, the gorgeous door opens, and the sunlight breaks through the clouds.
This is followed by the opening animation of the cliff movie, where the steep cliff stands on the edge of the lake, and the picture zooms in to show a gray cat climbing up the cliff, and the stone wall below it is inscribed with a line: bluff-films.
Nina looked at Ye Wei in surprise, the two looked at each other and smiled, with sweetness flowing in their hearts that only they understand.
Grande, Potcoe, Grady, Berghoff, Rubeo and the others all smiled excitedly, no matter what, they were so satisfied and relaxed at this time, as if they had only now dared to be sure that the movie was ready, and it would not be suddenly invaded by that demon director.
"I actually acted in a movie. Demian still can't believe it, and Ryan DeSantis, who plays "Cotton" next to him, heard his soft emotion and couldn't help but sigh: "Father Callas, who can believe it?" Father Callas is Damian's nickname in the crew, because he has the same name as "Father Damian Callas" in "The Exorcist".
Yes, every actor sitting here can't believe that they are just a bunch of improvisers performing in playgrounds and other places that miraculously made it to the screen!
That genius boy really brought everyone to the top of the mountain, and when they took a look at this beautiful scenery, they had no regrets.
The joy of the crowd did not disturb the silence of the two sparsely populated auditoriums, and not everyone in the audience knew what the moment meant: the second found-footage horror film to hit the North American screen after "Blair the Witch"!
After nearly six years, can handheld photography bring another creep?
Was it a silent failure, or an even more striking phenomenon on and off screen?
The three film critics, Custer, Sheck, and Orr, are expressionless, like executioners ready to be executed, and countless movies have died at their hands.
"Movies are not a tool for picking up girls, Ye Wei, I hope you didn't do this kind of thing, and Gian Kara Coppola's opponent didn't do this kind of thing. Gia's eyes flashed with a complicated sharpness.
"However, tonight I will be the most demanding viewer, I am not an ordinary audience, I am a jealous girl. Emma pursed her lips, her forehead with a youthful look of headlines.
In their pupils, in the pupils of all viewers, the opening credits end, the film begins!
In the bathroom, Cotton, a middle-aged man in a blue T-shirt, is shaving his beard in a large mirror on the wash basin, and the camera reflects his face in the mirror, and the documentary photographer who is filming him not far behind him.
"Oh, the camera!", "No, it's going to be a goof in the first place." Another couple sitting in front of Lev and the others exclaimed quietly. Emma's first reaction was "Goof!" but then she remembered......
"It's not a goof. Colwin's voice was faint, and Lev and Bard nodded heavily, I don't know if this is a pseudo-documentary?
Viewers like Gesta and Debbie, who have an understanding, have no doubts, and they are far from getting into the story, just watching, and have never watched too many pseudo-documentaries, so in fact, there is nothing boring or long-lost, but it is very new - knowing what it is but still ready to invest.
Film critics also watched, but there were already some surprises, what happened in the opening seconds, the smooth shot, the quality of the film, and the exquisite shooting angles......
It's completely different from the impression that "Blair the Witch" starts with shaking and blurring, and the image quality is rough photography, and the camera keeps shaking, and when it doesn't, it trembles, as if it were taken by a Parkinson's patient.
"A bunch of rough images piece together to tell a mysterious and terrifying story", this is the style of "Blair the Witch", and the film critics have a high opinion of this pioneering reality, and then there has been no second chance to score until now.
This is not the style of TBWP! This is too gentle, just the hand-held photography of the ordinary film Cheng DΓΉ, which does not seem to stun the audience's interest, a new style of remaking old films?
In that case, maybe the next 90 minutes will be a little surprising?
The Custer trio, who had zero expectations, became interested and liked the attitude of "Cooler", it is enough to have a TBWP, and TET can have a different brilliance. At least with this attitude, it is possible to create a new classic pseudo-documentary, and even break the shackles of this genre and open up a new space unknown to everyone.
Grande, Potko, well done!
Just as the audience had mixed reactions to the beginning of the film, their expressions suddenly changed.
"Ahh
"Are you alright?" The rugged male voice approached the photographer, and the camera became closer.
"You need towels. The surprised female voice, the figure of the female recording engineer walked past the camera, to help with the towel.
"I'm fine, hehe!" Cotton wiped the right side of his face in the mirror, his hands were also covered with blood, and the blood was still flowing, he turned to face the camera, jokingly leaning over to show the bloody wound, "It's blood, the priest's blood, nothing special." β
In the slightly shaking large close-up shot, the bloody wounds are almost all over the screen, not as cruel and terrifying as the glass-cutting lens of "An Andaru Dog", but it is also indescribably weird, and the audience suddenly shuddered, the more afraid of blood, the more uncomfortable it became.
"Haha!" Cotton is not just showing the wound, but also showing his grin-hee-ha-ha personality and attitude towards priests and demons, he makes a demonic roar at the camera and laughs again, "Nothing special, right?"
Not bad, that's good...... Sheker wraps his hands around his chest, and this opening long shot is powerful, explaining the film's storage and many others, and in a way that makes people feel hairy. He remembered the part in "The Exorcist" where the little girl Regan had to pierce her neck during a head examination in the hospital and blood gushed out.
The two of them have opened their minds?Custer thought to himself, a terrifying, nervous, and depressing love affair was already being created, starting with the first shot.
"How's it going?" Emma whispered to Gia, feeling that something wasn't quite right......
"It's early. Gia said, not taking her eyes off the screen for a moment.
"It's early. Emma muttered, it's early.
