In todays lesson we watched the beginning of 'Touch of Evil', produced by Albert Zugsmith and music by Henry Mansiny. The digetic music is played throughout the whole beginning part, and begins to be overlapped. The very first scene shows us the bomb, which then later blows up after the car has travelled through the town. A crane shot shows a tilted birds eye view of all the cars and objects are constantly entering the frame. It shows us the character of Vargis, who is successful, just married and well known, and as he begins to kiss his wife the bomb explodes and there is a close up of the item.
The second film we watched was 1975 Jaws, produced by Steven Speilsberg. The music is very important, as there is not an actual shark so the producer and director have to ensure the music has an impact. Without this, the tension wouldn't be built. The camera actually becommes the shark through subjective camera work. The camera acting as the shark, wants the audience to see the attack of the girl and therefore focuses on her facial expressions and body language. After the attack, the music stops and the surroundings are calm again. As if the shark had successfully completed attacking his first victim.
