This August, Warner Bros. Pictures presents a new experience in the world of M. Night Shyamalan—Trap—featuring performances by rising music star Saleka. The story centres around a father and his teen daughter attending a pop concert, where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event. Written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, “Trap” stars Josh Hartnett, Ariel Donoghue, Saleka Night Shyamalan, Hayley Mills and Allison Pill. The film is produced by Ashwin Rajan, Marc Bienstock and M. Night Shyamalan.
Talking about his process of shooting on film, M Night says, "I don’t know if I can fully articulate why I love film so much over digital. I’ll start with I love limitations. Working with them, I feel, is how we create the best. Film, because it involves chemicals, it’s a real, organic thing that happens. It’s alive, in a way. It captures life and experiences in a way that digital doesn’t do. The film feels like a representation of life. And ironically, digital has much more detail than film. So, maybe there is the answer: we only need this much to represent what something looks like, what something feels like, and we do the rest. We fill it in with our experiential knowledge. The computer says that this is what the colour red looks like, and this is what hair feels like."
He adds "But in its limitation, film creates this relationship with the audience that I think makes it alive. Too much information makes us confused and we shut down. The film is just the right amount of storytelling information in the frame. What’s in the frame? The characters, the lighting, everything. So, it’s always about keeping it a bit incomplete. It could be as simple as that. It could also be that all of my favorite films from my childhood were done on film, and I feel that way. It’s amazing to feel a film breathing and moving; because it’s slightly out of focus, it’s alive and undulating. I think it creates a very distinct experience."
The director of photography is Sayombhu Mukdeeprom. The production designer is Debbie DeVilla. It is edited by Noëmi Preiswerk. The original songs are written, produced and performed by Saleka Night Shyamalan. The music is by Herdĭs Stefănsdŏttir and the music supervisor is Susan Jacobs. The costume designer is Caroline Duncan. The VFX supervisor is Javier Marcheselli. The casting is by Douglas Aibel.
