In the film, “The Silence of the Lambs” Jonathan Demme uses many unique angles to spook the audience and make the scene very, very suspenseful. For example, in the night vision scene, Clarice Starling played as actress Jodie Foster is in Buffalo Bill’s house when the lights go out. Everything is quiet, then Buffalo Bill puts on his night vision goggles, while the audience follows him in first person perspective. In the camera frame of Buffalo’s night vision goggles you can see that he is following Clarice without her knowing in the pitch black darkness and she is the only one you can see. I noticed a lot of camera techniques in this scene. One of the techniques I noticed was first person, this is used with the night vision goggles, now this grows suspense because you can see what Clarice can’t see. This makes you want to say, “He’s right in front of you!” This was one of the many techniques used in this scene, I think Jonathan Demme did a great job portraying these techniques.

Nico- log 1In the film “silence of the lambs”, the scene I focused on was, when a convicted pervert turned off lights in the room and is using night vision goggles he stared at his next target which is a middle aged women. Jonathan Demme does a great job of creating lots of suspense in this scene by, first turning off the light in the room and then taking some shots of the room in pitch black giving the viewer a uncomterball time. He then switches camera angles to a P.O.V shot of the actors night vision goggles, when looking through the goggles the lighting is mainly focused on the women as the lighting on her is slightly brighter than everything else in the room directing the viewer's attention to the women. The women is making very fast and jittery moves, giving the viewer a sense of stress and fear, this feeling only grows as the actor gets closer and pretends to grope the womens face. The women then hits a cupboard and cant keep walking away, but the pervert makes a small noise by stepping on a frying pan causing the women to freak out and shoot all the bullets in her gun and three of the hitting, and killing him. Overall Jonathan Demme does a great job of creating lots of suspense in the movie “silence of the labs”.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovQk7fd4_Co

In the movie Jurassic Park, directed by Steven Spielberg, the camera angles he used in the movie helps portray an effect that lets us experience the movie as if we were really there. The scene I’ve chosen for an example is when one the characters throws a flare to distract the T-Rex. For this scene, Steven Spielberg used a hand held shot to make it as if you were really there experiencing the same thing as the other characters. I think that Steven Spielberg is a great director and whenever I watch his films it leads me to wonder more about the way he directs and the different camera angles he uses.

Directed by Oliver Stone, Snowden is biographical movie about the Edward Snowden, a whistleblower who exposed the NSA surveillance in 2013. In the scene where Snowden transfers the files onto a micro SD card which he slips past the security guards in the form of a rubik’s cube, there are a lot of short shots that alternates from Snowden’s point of view, people around the room and the security guards. This creates a sense of urgency and paranoia that at anytime, someone could spot him transfer the files or he could get caught in the security procedure. Especially in the rubik’s cube scene, most of the shots were from the guards perspective as they conduct the search and from Snowden’s perspective as he sees them probe and scan him which creates a tense atmosphere and makes the audience hold their breath.

In the film Dredd, directed by Pete Travis, The main character, Judge Dredd, lives in a dystopian future as a from of law enforcement bringing justice to criminals in possession of the drug “Slo-mo.” In the slow-motion shootout scene, Judge Dredd and his partner raid a criminal hideout. The filmmakers shot the majority of this scene in slow-motion. Most shots in the scene are positioned from the waist up because the shots are so slow, no one is moving. Travis used overexposed lighting and bright vibrant colors to show the audience the effect of the fictional drug. During the shootout, the camera focuses on detailed close ups of gore. These shots are over the top and feel surreal, using effects that are comic book-like. The scene ends with the euphoric effect of the drug fading, revealing darker colors and the dystopian reality.

Irvin Kershner uses camera angles to show many emotions in a very short amount of time. In the beginning of the scene, Darth Vader cuts Luke Skywalker's hand off in an intense lightsaber battle, leaving Luke one handed hanging off of a walkway. This automatically leaves him in a very vulnerable place. Kershner gives us the perspective by using the worms eye camera angle. Darth Vader standing above Luke, which represent power and strength. Luke on the other hand is looking up at him with fear and suspense in his eyes. Which corresponds to being the weak and defenseless. Darth Vader uses Luke's vulnerably and decides to say one of the most well known quotes of all time “No, I am your father”. This quotes leaves Luke struck with disgusted and aghast. Which leads into another powerful camera angle Kershner uses. It is a close up on Skywalker's reaction. Not only did the camera stay directly on his face, it gave us time to feel the emotions and a sense on how important this scene was out of all eight movies. As you see Luke's face start to crumble in disbelief, so do we. The camera only wanted us to see Luke and nothing else. It shows how important his emotions were to this new idea of his worst enemy being his father.

In the film Dredd, Pete Travis uses lighting to enhance a shootout scene. In the scene, the lights are extremely distorted and over saturated. Pete Travis chose to distort the lights so the viewer could see the action through the eyes of someone on slow mo. This effect also allows extreme detail of the bullet wounds and penetrations. Slow mo is the drug that takes place within the movie. When on Slow mo you see the world in slow motion, though you are not able to move any faster than your normal speed. The lights also make the world look fake and happy with a dark feeling. At the end of the scene, the lighting reverts back to normal to show the effect of slow-mo wearing off The film Dredd is aimed at an older audience due to the amount to violence and blood.

"This one's for free" The Truman Show, Christiana Blair

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout Peter Weir’s film “The Truman Show”, Truman is seen through the perspective of the audience rather than his point of view. The scene I chose is a single shot of Truman pretending to be a spaceship commander in his bathroom mirror. His personal objects clutter the inside of his reflection as he draws a spaceship with a bar of soap. This shows how his child like attitude comes out when he thinks no one is watching, but that isn’t the case. The angle of the scene is shot from the view of the TV executives. Truman’s face fills the screen, but an “on air” sign looms above is head. This alludes to the feeling that although Truman leads a seemingly normal life with aspects of “reality”, he is as distant to it as possible. Two simple words prove his separation from the real world as he lives his life in a glass bubble. When he looks at himself in the mirror, he is unaware that he is the object of voyeurism by millions of people.

in the movie interstellar overall the sound plays a massive role with an amazing sondtrack and great sounddesign. Richard King is the sound designer in this movie and he did an amazing job at acquiring that interstellar feel. in the black hole scene Nolan created a feeling of pressure  by  using a combination of white noise and sub K frequencies 30 Hz to be exact. this technique has been used by a number of directors. this way of handling sound is supposed to give us a feeling of tension.

In one of the most famous movie scenes of all time, Darth Vader looks at Luke and tells him, "No, I am your father". This scene, in Irvin Kershner's Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, has gained its fame for being one of the most pivotal moments in the movie, but also because the cinematic techniques used in this scene do an incredible job at evoking emotion from the audience. The most powerful technique used by Lucas in this scene is lighting, especially during Luke and Vaders close up shots. The entire scene is darkly lit, and the light from their lightsabers are very prominent because nearly everything in the scene is gray. This is significant because the dark lighting adds a sense of mystery and suspense, and sets up the scene to be one in which the 'dark side' will win. The significance of the lightsabers is that Luke has a blue lightsaber, and Vader has a red one, representing the confrontation of good and evil. By making the lightsabers stand out in the scene, Kershner is highlighting the bigger picture struggle that is present across every Star Wars movie. In summation, Lucas uses the lighting in this scene very carefully in order to present feelings of fear and suspense, and highlights the theme of struggle between good and evil with the color and contrast of the lightsabers used in the scene.

In the opening scene of Pirates of The Caribbean The Black Pearl, the filmmakers use camera angles and shots as an advantage. Close-ups are used to show the viewer  the characteristics and emotions of the actor. It gives the viewer a deeper connection to the character and shows them what the character is like. Later in this scene, the camera zooms into two arguing characters and ignores the other (Captain Jack Sparrow). This makes the audience feel as though they are distracted and. Later, captain Jack Sparrow shows up in the background whilst the two guards are still arguing, creating dramatic irony. The audience knows something the characters don't and can guess what will happen next, a very important tool in many films.

In the film E.T., Steven Spielberg masterfully uses camera angles to create the perspective of a child. The viewer experiences the narrative from the perspective of Elliot and E.T. For example, in the Halloween scene, the frame of the shot further emphasizes the fact that we are experiencing E.T.’s perspective by showing the view from under the sheet costume he wears. Another way he achieves this perspective is through a medium-to-low angle that cuts off the top of adult characters so you only see legs and midsections. This technique supports the idea that the film is aimed at a young audience.

In the iconic "blood test" scene, featured in the 1982 film The Thing, John Carpenter brings the mounting tension and paranoia building among the characters to a gory and terrifying climax. As Mac, the protagonist of the film, armed with a flamethrower and a gun demands the remainder of the research team to tie themselves up, the audience gains a glimpse of one of character's, Clark, readying a scalpel in their hands. This is shown at a waist level shot, and is shown when one of the other researcher's confronts Mac, which Mac responds to by pointing a gun at the researcher and threatening to kill him. Clark lunges at mac with the scalpel in hand, and is quickly shot in the head by Mac with no hesitation. This establishes Mac's ruthlessness and when it is revealed that Clark was in fact not an alien, this further increases negative sentiment towards mac. As the blood continues to be tested and the scene comes to it's brutal climax with the discovery of the thing, John Carpenter's masterful use of film technique in the pursuit of creating an atmosphere of paranoia and distrust is really exemplified.

In the film E.T., Steven Spielberg uses the angles of the shot to give the audience a feeling of the intensity that the boys were going through as they were being chased through the streets. Spielberg used panning to keep up with the speed that the boys were pedalling, he used the birds eye view angle to show how cleverly the boys seemed to weave their way through the streets, the police cars and the reporters. Another angle that was used in the movie was a close up, and he used it on Elliot and E.T. help portray their emotions as they were rushing around town.
