This forest seemed ordinary, but the deep feeling made Lake unable to take his eyes away for a moment.
He was surprised to find something. He couldn't tell whether it was a special effect or a real shot.
If this was a real shot, then the shapes of these trees growing would be too strange. The cost of making such realistic props is not low, and it is such a large forest.
If this is special effects, it is even more impossible, because in Lake's knowledge, no special effects studio can undertake such a large amount of special effects production, and it may not be able to achieve the immediate effect.
Accompanied by the melodious sound of bagpipes, the camera moved in the forest and stopped on a few patrolling people. They were wearing leather armor mixed with cloaks, holding crossbows, spears, daggers, etc., and were walking in a hurry.
"The props and costumes are of a very high quality."
Director Justin commented.
Whether a film is good or not can be seen in its service.
Watching those dramas where you wear ancient costumes but have your laces tied wrongly and your shoes still wearing sneakers, it’s embarrassing no matter how good the script is.
But now these people's clothes, makeup, and weapons are just like soldiers who have just come off the battlefield.
What's more important is the eyes of those soldiers.
That kind of coexistence of fatigue and vigilance, as well as numbness and indifference in the eyes, cannot be performed without more than ten years of acting experience.
Moreover, these actors are not the Eastern actors he is familiar with, they look like extras.
Are the extras now of such a high standard?
Or did the director directly find veterans who had actually experienced the war and let them play these supporting roles?
Justin knew that in the past, in order to pursue realism, some directors liked to find people with relevant experience to play roles, such as looking for people who were pregnant to play pregnant women, looking for people with disabilities to play disabled people, etc.
It can be said that in Justin's opinion, just the first few scenes made him feel that this movie was unusual.
On the screen, the group of people continued to walk forward. Suddenly, a monster's roar came from the distance. The soldiers were obviously alert and raised their crossbows in the direction of the sound.
The silent and tense atmosphere was pushed to its peak with the sudden stop of the music. Justin felt as if he was in the deep and dark forest, becoming one of those soldiers, facing the unknown monster, holding the crossbow with fear.
aim.
He couldn't help but grab the armrest of the sofa.
The camera peeks into the depths of the forest from a first-person perspective, with slight ups and downs of breathing, which is full of realism.
The picture of the forest is very dim, but every detail of the picture can be seen clearly.
In the industry, many special effects shots are placed at night, with monsters fighting and destroying the city, robots flying around in the sky, and so on. Most of them are at night.
This is mainly because special effects at night are easy to do. Everyone can’t see clearly at night. The special effects don’t need to be done in detail. No one in the cinema will pause in a flash, which can effectively reduce costs.
The special effects in broad daylight are troublesome, especially those involving the combination of real scenes, which are much more troublesome than pure green screen.
This leads to the fact that the special effects shots in many movies are very dark. In the cinema, the bright light and the surrounding darkness are barely enough, but at home it looks completely dark, making it difficult to see anyone clearly.
But in the current scene, although the surroundings are very dim, every plant and tree in the forest is clearly visible. In Justin's words, it's like observing it with the naked eye.
This brings the ultimate sense of immersion.
Just when Justin was trying to find the source of the sound in the forest, the soldier standing at the front suddenly seemed to remember something and turned sideways to aim the crossbow.
As soon as the camera turned, he saw a silver-gray giant wolf with six legs and four eyes rushing towards him.
Whoosh whoosh——
The other people's crossbow arrows immediately shot out and shot into the body of the wolf, but it bit the unlucky soldier as if it couldn't feel the pain. Only flesh and blood flew everywhere, and half of the soldier's body was thrown away.
The remaining upper body was still in the giant wolf's mouth, trying to struggle.
The battle was extremely fierce. Justin could clearly see the intestines and internal organs flowing out of the body bitten by the giant wolf. The warm blood was scattered on the ground full of rotten leaves, red and black, life and death.
, civilization and barbarism constitute a tragic yet somewhat beautiful picture.
This series of shots does not have any trace of editing. It is an amazing long shot. The soldiers’ fighting and cooperation, as well as the ferocity and ferocity of the giant wolf, become more and more intense under the background of this long and breathless long shot.
Tense and more realistic.
Just when this group of people finally dealt with the giant wolf and everyone was bruised and exhausted, more howls suddenly sounded from all directions.
The camera showed a close-up of the face of one of the surviving soldiers. With his face covered in blood, he looked at his companions, his eyes full of despair.
As the camera zoomed out, overlooking the soldiers who stood up in a hurry to organize resistance, and the giant wolves that were gradually approaching, the entire forest appeared on the screen. It was an extremely vast forest, with no end in sight, and a dark forest.
The trees were towering, blocking the earth. When a gust of wind blew, the tree crown surged like a tide. From time to time, the shouts of soldiers and the roars of giant wolves could be heard.
Finally, as everything came to an abrupt end, the title "Magic Tide" appeared on the screen, which meant that the introduction just now ended and the movie officially began.
After watching this episode, everyone present forgot that they still had beer in their hands.
"Isn't that a special effect just now?"
Professor Armitage asked uncertainly.
The battle scenes were extremely bloody, and the scenes of stumps flying around were extremely real, giving people a great shock. Some directors are very good at showing the aesthetics of violence, and like to put violent scenes on the faces of the audience, using
The ultimate battle makes the audience feel full and hearty. Some directors are good at using realistic wounds to inspire the audience's instinctive fear, and using fists to flesh impacts to make the audience immersed in the scene.
The battle scenes in "Magic Tide" are very brutal, but they also contain a certain sense of tragedy and mission. Just like the scenes of humans fighting those beasts in ancient times, they are thrilling and make people unable to hold their breath.
Lake let go of the hand he had been holding tightly, and found that his palms were covered in sweat.
His initial vision for "The Tide" was completely shattered in the few minutes before the film's title appeared.
Is it true that such a movie, such pictures and scenes are not produced by Hollywood, but are achieved by other countries through their own strength?
Whether it is the special effects, props, costumes, or performance, they have completely reached the top level of Hollywood. Even what he didn't want to admit in his heart was that this might have exceeded the level they knew.
