When it comes to horror suspense, the first thing many people react to is Hitchcock. This type of film, although not his original creation, has been carried forward through his work. We don't have a sense of what such a film represented at that time, but one thing is for sure, many subsequent works still apply this idea, and it can be said that Hitchcock succeeded in making this idea a successor. But is there only one kind of suspense for horror? Unfortunately, there are many routine techniques, but there is only one that uses this technique very maturely. Although many works are technologically innovative, they cannot achieve the same high-yield output as Hitchcock, so we may feel the highlights, but we can't see such highlights continue, such as today's film.
"The Murder Line" is a film recommended to you today, this film tells the story of a film sound engineer who broke an accident in the process of finding materials in an accident. The truth that the sound engineer himself believes is very different from the truth in the media's mouth, so he embarks on the road to find the truth, and on this road, the sound effects artist eventually loses some people, but gains some kind of windfall. With such a result, one has to wonder whether the film is based on that story line, so that "Fierce Line" successfully confuses a group of audiences. This is where this suspense film shines.
Speaking of "Murder Line", when we watch this film, we can consider two aspects, on the one hand, technology, on the other hand, story. From a technical point of view, this film provides a large number of shooting methods that can be used as a reference by later people, such as focus lenses, the film is very clever use of the cracked focus lens to carry the original limited amount of information, suddenly become rich, many can be through several lenses to continuously switch the picture is concentrated in a lens, which is very cost-effective for the audience. The director gives a lot, and the audience will enjoy it even more.
For the back projection, the audience's most intuitive feeling is cultivated from Hitchcock's film, and for this film, this flashback back projection can better understand the plot for the audience. The male protagonist uses a large number of back-side projections during the entire process of replaying the water, which allows the audience to increase their immersion in the process of watching the film and better integrate into the plot of the film.
The split-screen lens is to increase the suspense attribute of the film, for the same story line, the film uses different characters to narrate oh, this way of narration makes the audience understand the role of this story line more intuitively, so inadvertently make the suspense of the film greatly enhanced. The audience can review the story through a third perspective, but the split screen can better use the existing clues to assist the audience in analysis, which is very good for the audience to help them understand the plot through cooperation.
In addition to the technical level, the story of this film can also be said, because it is a suspense story, so in the process of watching, it is not difficult for us to find that there are two sides to the logic of this film, the first is that the sound engineer broke a murder case, tried to find the truth, but eventually lost the people around him, on the other hand, the sound effects artist accidentally captured this sound that made him very satisfied in order to find his favorite material. From two aspects of this work, all the logic can be universal, which is why this film can be discussed by many people.
Judging from the first storyline, this is also the obvious story line of the whole film. The sound engineer's radio equipment was so powerful that it captured the sound of gunshots before rolling over. And this gunshot eventually became the fuse for the subsequent development of this film. It is because of this gunshot that the sound engineer has a basis for doubt, and the sound of the gun alone is not enough to form a chain of doubt. But at the same time, the sound engineer was threatened by government agents after rescuing the woman in the car. At this time, the film is on the right track, and it is precisely because of this threat that the sound engineer constantly follows up the plot, and in this way, the logic of the whole work is smooth. It's not very abrupt either.
In the follow-up, the sound engineer was monitored during the call with the woman, his home was also intruded by the mysterious person, his surroundings seemed to be dangerous, and the process of letting the mysterious person and the woman connect also corresponded to the scene where he had made a mistake and made his colleagues sacrifice before, at this level, the logic of the film is very smooth, and the audience can gradually be applied to the logic of this work to form a closed loop.
However, in addition, the other main line of this film is also smooth. What are sound artists after? It is a perfect recording, and the film describes the necessary conditions for perfect sound in the long shots at the beginning. And all the next plots, if you take this as the starting point, naturally can also justify itself, the sound effects artist in pursuit of perfect recording and accidentally broke into a murder case, but at this time, the murder of the politician has passed, and the new murder is the act of a perverted murderer, which is just in line with the storyline of the sound effects artist in the film he shot. The development of the following story also fits in with the entire ending of the film in the film. In the end, the sound engineer accidentally broke a murder case and accidentally harvested his perfect voice. That's why he didn't end up handing over the so-called "evidence" he had at hand, because none of this mattered, what mattered was to get his own satisfactory sound through it.
It is precisely because of the ingenious conception of both technology and art that this film can become a classic. But whether it is technology or art, the film did not make a positive reply. Therefore, Hitchcock's classics depend on the short-lived flashes of later generations.
