A model of parallel montage shooting

From the perspective of a thriller, suspense, and horror movie, "The Horror" is undoubtedly a success, at least in my eyes. The plot of the murder in the bathroom in "The Cry" has long become a classic shot in the history of film, and is later called a model of parallel montage shooting. In the entire murder scene, even though there is no picture of a knife inserted into the human body, through the use of montage techniques, the audience still frightened and brought naked horror to the audience. 45 seconds, 78 shots, the knife, the human body, the nozzle, the curtain, the drain hole, repeatedly quickly switch between the murderer and the murdered, the combination of different postures of the knife stabbing the victim, plus the water flow in the nozzle The switching between the curtain and the drain hole produces a kind of horror effect that the director desires. As Hitchcock thought: "The most nervous thing is not the disgusting way of death, but the atmosphere brewing before death." This murder scene is entirely composed of close-ups and close-ups, fast, fast-paced, and shocking. The force was great, which created the horror and excitement of the murder scene, and left a deep impression on people. It is worth noting that there is no dialogue in this scene. It is only expressed on the screen using movie language. It is shocking, terrifying, and exciting, and it is completely conveyed to the audience by the tension and information of the image of the picture.
