The terrifying heavens inside the box

Wang Hao stared intently at the box.

Although this time we're going to make a long piece of content that's thirty minutes long, or even longer.

But to be honest, he himself was not sure, so he asked Chen Xiaoliang to consult several professionals in the film and television industry.

That's when I realized one of my obvious weaknesses.

That's the camera lens.

Previously, the videos were short "miniature" clips, only a few minutes long, shot entirely from an overhead angle. They were high-energy throughout, filled with rapid and intense scenes of death, explosions, and chaos, giving viewers no time to think.

This God's-eye view is actually more likely to captivate the audience.

But long stories won't do!

Expecting viewers to watch from a fixed perspective for 30 minutes or an hour creates a "visual cage," at which point even the grandest scenes will become tiring for the audience.

Not to mention that much of the content in between is just informational transitions and cannot all be explosion scenes.

Therefore, someone suggested that Wang Hao study stop-motion animation.

The key is to learn camera work, especially by referring to films like "Coraline" and "Zombie Bride".

Wang Hao was stunned when he heard this.

You know what!

Given the style of these two films, it wouldn't be surprising if they ended up in his trunk later.

However, Wang Hao still figured it out.

If you want to make a miniature feature film, you simply can't support that kind of content with just one fixed perspective.

We must learn how to use camera movement and use cinematic language to compensate for the problem that small characters' expressions are not clear and that it is difficult for the audience to empathize.

Combined with close-up shots, the tiny figures inside the box, originally the size of a grain of rice, are brought up to about the size of a fingernail. The emotions are conveyed through the figures' movements and post-production voiceover.

As long as the camera, characters, and scenes are all dynamic, the audience will not feel bored, nor will they feel trapped in a "cage".

"Camera work? If I were to actually hold the camera and operate it, it might be a bit difficult, but I have the case."

It's a pity that, due to time and funding constraints, the plan to upgrade the equipment has to be put on hold for the time being.

Wang Hao sighed, shook his head, and decided not to think about this regrettable matter for the time being.

Although Freddy's dream scenes cannot be seen inside the box.

But that's all in the past.

Once this Freddy, whom he modified, devours other Freddies or is devoured by other Freddies, the rules of "The Actor" will completely corrupt this nightmare, and a qualified "Actor" will be born.

Now the script for "Sleepless Eternal Town" can proceed smoothly.

Thinking of these things, he turned his gaze back to the box.

Watching Nancy and Glenn go home first at Maggie's urging, Maggie herself stayed behind to take care of her ex-husband, Sheriff Thompson.

……

The red convertible Cadillac drove all the way to 1428 Elm Street and stopped in front of the building.

"Oh no, this is terrible!"

Glenn had just parked the car when he saw his parents standing in front of house number 1419 across the street. One of them had a tense expression and was glaring with anger, while the other looked worried but had now relaxed.

The two walked over one after the other.

"Glenn! Who gave you permission to come home so late?!"

"Dad, there are some things... ah!"

Seeing Glenn scream in pain as his ear was grabbed, Nancy was about to say something when Glenn's father glared at her fiercely and warned her:

"Don't associate with my son anymore!"

"Dad...ah!"

Seeing Glenn's miserable state, Nancy couldn't speak. She could only helplessly watch him being dragged away.

Back home, Nancy opened the door to her second-floor bedroom and quickly noticed Glenn waving and holding up a piece of paper behind the window in the second-floor room of number 1419 across the street.

It said on it that he was under house arrest.

Glenn then put down the paper, waved his hands, and revealed a frustrated and helpless expression.

Nancy smiled, intending to reassure him, but suddenly noticed Glenn's father standing downstairs across the street, holding a cup of coffee and staring intently at her.

The smile on her face vanished, and she could only helplessly draw the curtains, change into her pajamas, and lie down. Before going to sleep, she didn't forget to place a mirror by the bed.

But when he woke up the next day, he didn't see Freddy, and he didn't even dream about him.

Nancy was a little confused.

Freddy's goal used to be very clear: to seek revenge on the children of his enemies.

But now, she suddenly doesn't understand.

Not to mention the bizarre scene I dreamt about in the hospital last night.

All of this seems to indicate that something is wrong.

Nancy got up in the morning, made fried egg sandwiches and hot soup, and after eating, she called the school to ask for sick leave.

When she left, she ignored Glenn, who was watching her expectantly from the second floor across the street, and went to the hospital first.

After bringing Maggie breakfast and checking on her father, who was still unconscious, Nancy suddenly asked about something else.

"Mom, do you remember who else was among the people who fought alongside you against Freddy?"

Maggie didn't understand why she was asking this, but she still thought about it while holding the lunchbox.

Nancy took out a note and wrote down the names of the people she recalled one by one.

"Why are you asking this?" In the end, Maggie couldn't help but ask.

"The person who attacked Dad might also try to harm them, so you need to be careful. If anything happens, remember to let me know first."

Nancy didn't mean she didn't want her mother to ask others for help, but the key issue was that ordinary people, even with guns, wouldn't be able to help.

Freddy is immortal and only appears in dreams...

Thinking of this, she quickly reminded Maggie.

"Mom! Don't fall asleep! If you get sleepy, make sure someone watches you, especially if they find you having a nightmare. They have to wake you up, otherwise it will be too late."

Although Maggie didn't understand why having nightmares was too late, she nodded in agreement after her daughter's repeated reminders.

After leaving the hospital, Nancy took the list and went back to Elm Street to search for each house.

She then discovered that those who participated in the lynching were mostly people living on Elm Street.

So Nancy focused her main attention on the children of that group.

She guessed that Freddy's most desired revenge was not against the adults, but against their descendants.

For the entire day, Nancy walked back and forth on Elm Street, silently memorizing the children's appearances and other details.

Christine Parker, a blonde girl.

Kincaid, a Black boy.

Joey, this boy, whether he was bad at speaking or deaf and mute, was almost never seen to speak.

Tina, a girl with long, dark hair.

Will, a little boy in a wheelchair wearing glasses.

Alice Jensen, a child who seems somewhat introverted and withdrawn.

……

Nancy's list was filled with initial observations of the children, and she had no idea who Freddy would target first.

The most urgent task is to find a way to bring all these children together.

Avoid giving Freddy the opportunity to strike.

But on the very second night, something unexpected happened...
