83 years ago, this film invented a movie technique rather than used today

Since the 2000s, fears in the cinema often relies on the effect, now it has come in the language of filmmakers: the leap scared (literally: fear jump). But where does this worn technique come from now on a horror movie from two?

Do you really know the “leap scare”?

The leap scare implies creating expectations with the viewer – in general, using prolonged silence – suddenly a very strong sound arises to make it start / surprise / surprise / frightened. The leap of frightening can either confirm the expectations, or vice versa.

The first leap, recognized, is the Franco-American director Jacques Tournur Fellini (cat people), released in 1942. You can find it and listen to it below. It is in the heart of the movie and plays well with expectations: Alice (Jane Randolph) only moves at night after it is accompanied. It is followed by Irena Debrov (film heroin, Simon Simon), which has a certain panchant for Panthers.

The silence reigns. Alice feels, but no one fixes it, she accelerates and begins to fear. It reaches weight faster and faster until shortly sounds like a crushed noise covered with a strong bus braking (leap scared). Alice goes there and the driver told him: “It looks like you’ve seen a ghost!” The thickness, he undoubtedly escaped the great danger (the leap of frightening blasted the viewer’s expectation that Irena would attack the young woman).

Some filmmakers argue that Citizen Kane had Create this effect one year beforeBut he did not really defend what became the leap of the essence of frightening and, Acknowledging Orson WalesWas just intended “Wake up to the Society”.

Since the beginning of 2010, the jump has become very used in the spring horror cinema, especially by the Blumhouse FIRM, known for films based on this technique such as paranormal activity or evil. The trend continues today and the “fear of the leap” seems to have a bright future in front of it!
