[ PRODUCTION NOTE ]

The filming site that melted even the extreme cold!
The passionate passion of the actors and staff is fully revealed in the movie!
As Gong Hyo-jin recalled, who said, “It was a fight against the cold throughout filming,” the filming site for <Door Lock> was a painful scene for both actors and staff to endure the cold. In <Door Lock>, in order to effectively capture the situation of 'Kyung-min', who has to survive alone, on the screen, there were many days where the film was filmed on location in an empty building or outskirts, where there were mostly no people on the set. In the scorching cold of minus 20 degrees Celsius, the actors and staff raised the temperature only with their passion for the film. It was not only the people who had to overcome the cold, but also the filming equipment. The camera froze in the constant cold throughout the filming, so both the actors and staff took turns taking the camera and started melting it.

In addition, Gong Hyo-jin, who played the role of 'Kyung-min', had to run around a wide alley in extreme cold weather for the chase scene with the criminal. Although the bones of his body had hardened in the severe cold, Gong Hyo-jin took a few takes with the camera to vividly capture the struggle of 'Kyung-min' to escape the threat of a stranger, completing the main character's point of view shot, creating a thrilling scene. made it In addition, he performed passionately by showing his passion for fighting barefoot in an empty building with a temperature comparable to that of the outdoors.

In particular, actor Gong Hyo-jin had to digest the action scenes that had to show the emotions of 'Kyung-min' alone."

A perfect thriller created by the best producers in Chungmuro!
It provides extreme fun with well-revived reality and sophisticated directing!
The biggest point that differentiates the movie <Door Lock> from the existing thriller works is probably the 'closeness to reality' that people living in the present in 2018 can sympathize with the most. Amid growing social interest in crimes targeting single-person households, <Door Lock> maximizes the fun of the movie based on realistic materials. This was possible because the precise location to find the optimal place for the main stage of the movie, and the shooting and lighting to express the concept of 'alone', one of the main keywords of the movie, were in perfect harmony. <Door Lock> tells the story of an incident that happened in a studio where the main character, Kyung-min, lives alone. In this regard, the cool air felt in the process of surviving the threat of an unknown, unknown existence, and the chilling fear felt through the skin as if in the field, had to be expressed in detail. For this, the production team of each part chose a bold production method that was difficult to find in previous thrillers.

location first. As it is a material that is widely talked about in society, the production team put a lot of effort into the location hunting, judging that the background of the movie should be similar to what you see in everyday life. In particular, in order to show at a glance the isolated situation of 'Kyung-min', who has to survive alone in an unpopulated neighborhood, the production team visited redevelopment cities such as ghost towns. As a result, the sequence in which 'Kyung-min' is chased by a stranger in the middle of a city where alleys are tangled like a maze was born as the highlight of the movie.

The shooting and lighting also differentiated it from the existing thriller films. Even in an urgent chase scene, full shots using wide-angle and telephoto lenses were mainly used instead of the handheld technique that follows the breath of the person, and this represented the cool gaze of 'Kyung-min' in danger. Here, in the case of ‘Kyung-Min’’s studio, in the beginning, a full shot that stimulates the fear of the space itself is used so that viewers can breathe the air of the scene together, and when ‘Kyung-Min’ is in danger, ‘alone’ is used. In order to express the feeling, I tried to compose the cuts around the close-up so that the audience can feel the emotions of the main character. The lighting also gives a strong contrast that can be seen in a general thriller, so rather than conveying emotions overflowingly, the lights that can be encountered in everyday life are composed to really capture the feeling of 'my room'.

As such, the passion of the staff who pursued endless challenges from location to filming and lighting will satisfy the five senses of the audience and provide the fun of a different reality horror thriller.
