The behind-the-scenes "test screening" will make the film lose its Mystery

Director Caruso made his point very clear at the beginning of filming "Eagle Eye", that is, after the filming of this film is completed, he will resolutely avoid the "test screening" aspect. A routine step, and the strategy he adopted was to delay the completion of the post-production of "Eagle Eye" as much as possible, without leaving any room for maneuver for the "test screening." Caruso said: "This approach may not work. It's so authentic, but very easy to use. Anyway, I personally feel that if we use up all the time and leave no gaps at all, the 'test screening' will have to be canceled... To be honest, I am very happy that we finally "Successful." Producer Alex Kurtzman believes: ""Eagle Eye" is a very large-scale action thriller. In order to make it have a more shocking effect, as a producer, You'd better use comfort instead of impatience, because you will eventually find that even if a lot of preparation work is done in the early stage of a work like this, there are too many things to coordinate during shooting, so some of the director's procrastination behavior will He still had a certain reason, and it was completely understandable. But what I didn't expect was that Caruso deliberately extended the post-production of the film in order to avoid the "pilot screening". I was fooled by a little trick.”

The film length of “Eagle Eye” was initially set at 152 minutes. This may not be a very certain number, but Caruso also promised that in the future, On this basis, there won't be much fluctuation. He continued: "In Hollywood, two and a half hours is indeed a bit too long, especially for an action movie... Of course, there are still elements in the film. There are areas that need to be considered and polished. This is especially true in the first two rolls of film. There are still many options to consider, so I can only say that everything is still unknown."

In addition, the card. Russo also stated that "Hawkeye" was indeed greatly influenced by the TV series "The Shield" which he had previously directed. He said: "Although we did not directly hire the behind-the-scenes staff related to "The Shield", " "Eagle Eye" is quite similar in style to this TV series. However, the "Bourne" series also gave me a considerable impact and emotion... At this point, some people may say, 'They are three movies. It's a great action movie. 'But my answer was, 'We did something like that with The Shield almost six years ago. 'I did tend to shoot some of that with a camcorder. scene, because I have always believed that Hollywood has entered a strange circle, and the frequency of use of portable cameras is indeed a bit too high. For this reason, I hope to correctly record what we want to tell through a form of 'mock documentary' Everything, but definitely not wildly overused. Believe it or not, this was the first time in my directing career that I used a Steadicam, a camera stabilizer, and I found it to be a very good shooting device and I loved it because the Steadicam not only held the frame The unique feeling that a camcorder creates also helps you take some of the uncertainty out of shooting this way. ”

This time, Caruso made the right choice, because when shooting a film, the appropriate use of portable cameras can really give the audience a sense of real-life recording, plus Caruso also combined real shots and CGI special effects to give all the car chase scenes a heart-pounding speed. He said: "This type of movie seems to have no way to avoid the auxiliary function of digital special effects, but We have been doing our best, and we will not rely on CGI for the parts that can be shot live. For example, the crushed cars in "Eagle Eye" were all shot in real life. The only part that used special effects technology was to use CGI to eliminate traces of cables, because we needed to borrow cables to increase power. Let the cars hit each other in the most violent way possible. Therefore, the realistic car chase scenes in the film are not the result of special effects, especially the big scenes that require the use of cranes to shoot. If you don’t use CGI to erase the props, it is almost impossible. The method is completed. You have to set a very high starting point for "Eagle Eye" because after all, it is completely different from works like "Transformers". You can't use too many fantastic and unrealistic elements to shock the audience's jaws. Once Once your goals are clear, you won't think that digital special effects are an indispensable film technology. Alex Kurtzman added slightly: ""Transformers" focuses on a world that is overly focused. Some of it is real, but it is also combined with the illusion of cartoons.

However, the environment in which the story of "Eagle Eye" exists is very fundamentally different, which led us to make corresponding changes and choices for one purpose only, which is to maintain the realism of this film. You can call it 'Aurora Video', or any other professional adjective you can imagine... But at the beginning of filming, we really didn't think about it that much. We just wanted to make an action movie that could really be loved by the audience. "

Use subtlety to create horror

For director Caruso, "Eagle Eye" is more like a modern version of "The French Drug Network", he said: " When Alex Kurtzman and I first met and started discussing this film, we had a similar feeling, especially from a technical perspective, you realize that the two films really exist Many similarities. Kurtzman and I came to a consensus from the beginning to try to maintain the authenticity of the picture and story, including its naturalistic style. I hope that when the film comes to an end, the audience will feel that we The protagonist is facing crises and fears. "

As for the key plot that may play a decisive role in the film, Caruso adhered to the "confidentiality" principle that filmmakers have always used, leaving an extraordinary suspense. Said: "This has become a 'natural thing' in the film industry, and our producer is Steven Spielberg - the person in Hollywood who likes to play with mysteries the most and never reveals the answer until the last minute. One of the filmmakers, and with his influence and a little bit of persistence on my part, "Eagle Eye" will be able to maintain its freshness in a very special way. Maybe this film doesn't have the kind of sudden and shocking moments that make people realize, but the way its story develops is subtle, seeping into the brain bit by bit, and the final answer may not be what you want. , but it also makes you feel like you have no other choice. In view of the large proportion of horror in "Eagle Eye", I certainly hope that the audience can put all their thoughts on the film and still be confused until the final ending, not knowing what happened... The first film I made, "Ten Thousand Miles to Chase", had this tone - at first, everything that happened in it made you feel confused, but for me, this kind of suspenseful atmosphere was just an unconventional one. One of the energies that a story should have. However, "Eagle Eye" may pay more attention to the matching of plot than you think. As a director, I often struggle with the choice of characters and stories. I always have to weigh for a long time what is more important. When you really When you see the film, you will know how ready these contradictory parts are. Producer Alex Kurtzman believes: "It is very interesting to analyze this point alone. For example, if you are a screenwriter, you will definitely say that the character is an integral part of the plot itself. You must not Don't let them be closely combined, or let them each play a certain role in their respective fields, so that the audience can feel the other when they see one. However, this is only a need for words. It is not so easy to express such emotions through pictures. "Another producer Roberto Orci also expressed some opinions of his own: "Of course Caruso hopes that the audience can subjectively enter the environment of the protagonist in the film, so at this time, they must know The fewer you have, the more likely you are to feel the same way. "

Caruso also believes that the setting of "Eagle Eye" in this regard is similar to the concept used by many computer games: "Think back to the greatest computer games in your mind. , their attraction is that they can put you in an unknown world, in an urgent environment where you don’t know what will happen next second... The first half of "Eagle Eye" is like a movie Not only can you pass the first two levels of the game easily, but you can also control everything under your control. But as the story develops, you will find that everything before has been overturned. Without the basis for choice, you have to get rid of the initial advantage and fight for a way out of the difficulties again - whether it is a game or a movie, this is That’s where their real fun lies. Alex Kurtzman continued: "From this point of view, I feel that this film also borrows many unique magic weapons from the works of Alfred Hitchcock. The whole process of watching the movie It's like playing a guessing game: What is the final outcome? What kind of identities do these people involved play? The best way to tell such a story is to start from the perspective of a bystander and then imagine everything the protagonist may experience. "In this way, the key point of "Eagle Eye" is not "who", but "why". When you finally discover the true identity of that "who", it is time to reveal the answer, and you will Realize what a seductive story the film tells.
