Qiye nodded and admitted: "Indeed, people need to use a concrete thing to show their growth, so after human beings leave the primitive society and enter the feudal society, we can often see many legends about killing snakes. To prove the extraordinaryness of the protagonist of the story."

"In Western legends, Hercules killed two poisonous snakes when he was a baby to prove his bravery and specialness; while in the East, there is also the story of Han Gaozu Liu Bang killing the white snake uprising to add to the sanctity of this feudal emperor. "

"You should have noticed the difference between these two stages. Early humans had an instinctive awe of snakes, so when they faced snakes, they only had passive defenses. When people began to try to control everything, in the face of When there is a snake, they try to game it and try to kill each other."

Qiye's words made Lao Xu immediately think of the three words Qiye mentioned before, and he asked: "The so-called horror is because people are passively frightened, which is a state of passive defense; terror Is it a state of game between the two sides?"

"Yes." Qiye nodded, "So when people go from being afraid of snakes to defeating snakes, what do you think will happen to human beings who always like to go further?"

"Create your own 'snake'?"

Lao Xu's thoughts began to gradually become clear.

Qiye was very happy that Lao Xu kept up with his rhythm, which made him appreciate the other party's ability more and more.

"Yes, so after humans entered the modern society, the feeling of fear has become a form of entertainment. Novels, paintings, movies and even games are the 'snakes' created by people. But there are ways to scare people. different."

"After learning about people's history of horror, let's return to the topic of horror, horror and weirdness." Nanaya continued.

"The first is horror. In terms of movies as an expression form, the technique of horror can be simply summarized as Jump scare."

Jump scare has always been a commonly used technique in horror films. This expression is simple, rough, direct and effective.

In other words, this is the easiest and most cost-effective way to use the visual medium to achieve scary purposes.

But repeating this technique countless times can easily get boring.

But this is still the second reason. Another reason for the generally low evaluation of Jump scare is that most of the scares of Jump scare are only temporary.

Afterwards or when the experience is repeated for the second time, because of the psychological expectation, the sense of fright will be greatly weakened.

Therefore, movies created by this cheap method can generally only become fast food for instant food, and cannot become classics.

Of course, this kind of thing depends on the level of the creator, and those movies that abuse Jump scare will naturally be cast aside.

But the masters of horror movies are able to take the suddenness of Jump scare and sublimate it.

Their common practice is to accumulate atmosphere through the foreshadowing in the early stage, so that the audience will fall into their pre-designed psychological trap unconsciously.

Then at the last moment, all the previous tension was vented at once through a Jump scare.

In this way, even if the audience has already known what kind of plot will happen later, he will still be shocked by this last shock.

"So, Lao Xu, you need to understand a little more." Qiye further said, "There is no distinction between these three techniques, they are just different forms of expression.

"The real difference is the people who created them." Ziyuan booed, "There is a difference between mediocrity and genius."

Qiye knew from Ziyuan's eyes that the genius she was talking about must be herself.

"I understand why I thought my previous outline was wrong." Lao Xu said, "I was too straightforward in many scenes. It was just a simple accumulation of materials, which made the horror elements look cheap."

"That's right." Qiye nodded, "And horror has a deeper emotional control than horror, because it is no longer a simple passive acceptance by the audience, but a game between the audience and the creator. "

"This technique cannot be achieved through a single lens presentation, but requires the overall story atmosphere to create this atmosphere."

From Qiye’s point of view, the expression of horror is not simple, because it requires the scheduling of the shots, the changes in the details of the scene, some kind of strange signs that reappear in the shots, and even the film tells about the strange environment.

These techniques are no longer purely physical stimulation, but the combined effect of both physiology and psychology.

For example, Tsui Hark's "Hell Without Doors", the weird island called Dajia; and the murderer in Qiye's own FZ, but Ryunosuke Uyu who thinks he is pursuing art.

Although there is no specially frightening scene like Jump scare, as well as direct bloody scenes that exist due to grading restrictions.

But the overall atmosphere does have a hint of horror, and it will even make people shudder after watching it.

"Oh, that creative mode, I'm very good at it."

Probably because he talked about his favorite work FZ, Lao Xu became excited. He looked at Qiye with bright eyes and said:

"Then what about the last weird one? Kiryu-san, please tell me, you must want me to use this method to create, right?"

pS1: Haha, didn’t expect that?Mi sauce has been added! ??ヽ(°▽°)ノ?

I originally wanted to post it during the New Year's Eve, but after thinking about it, I should post it now. _(:з」∠)_

pS2: Regarding the discussion on the three stages of horror movies, Mi Jiang is based on the video of the game evaluation UP [Tdogegg] at station B [combined with the history of human development to see the difference between horror, horror, and weirdness [ITde talk]].

Mi Jiang has already asked the UP owner to confirm that this part of the content can be reproduced.

However, because that person mainly talks about games, Mi Jiang’s side is about movies, so there will be a little difference, and at the same time, Mi Jiang’s own understanding of this part of the content is also added.

If you are interested, you can also watch the video. This UP video has a lot of dry content, but it is not very popular.

This is almost the same as Mi sauce. [Crazy to post money to myself] (*/ω\*)

pS3: Mi Jiang advises everyone not to watch Tsui Hark's "Hell Without Doors", especially for minors.

Although the movie itself can be classified as a farce, it is actually a typical horror movie. After watching it, the whole person feels bad.
