Post War Period and Sound

The Post War Period had many films that were based on the sadness of the everyday lives after WWII ended. This film, Rear Window, has tons of sounds, such as an alarm clock, cars, children laughing and playing, and shows pictures of the war in frames.

kinda spooky weird music, kids like playing, the guy snoring, like Adrenaline music like music before something big is about to happen.

Camera Movement

Moving the camera helps create different emotions in a scene and emphasize those emotions that we want to see. It can add or detract from the emotion the director wants to communicate. It needs to move in relation to someone or something to create the emotion.

Crane Shot Down: moves you into a story or the scene creating a feeling of falling into the character's world and dropping down into the scene. It gives us a feeling of how small the character is and how big of an obstacle they have to overcome. This makes the character look strong and creates a lot of feeling of authority.

Handheld Camera Movement: can create a feeling of uneasiness or danger. It needs to be a bit shaky and unsettling, but it makes the scene feel very strange and dangerous.

Quick Pan: can change the emotional direction of the scene almost at once. It reveals something dangerous or something that the character is going to have to overcome. It sends the audience in a totally different emotion direction.

Quick Push In: Can create a sudden feeling of surprise or shock.

Slow Camera Dolly In: Can create tension and helps us become a little bit more intimate with the character. Intimate in a way that makes us feel uncomfortable or intimate in a way to feel what the character is feeling.

Slow Dolly Out: Leaves character feeling lost or abandoned. It creates a feeling of empathy. You feel lost with them.

Dolly across: Reveals action or change of the emotional direction of a scene.

Glide Cam Shot: creates more of a ballet or dance feeling. It feels epic or dreamlike.
Handheld Camera: It gives the scene more of a edgy and stressful feeling.

Glidecam 360 Reveal: It creates a king of calm before the storm feeling like something is coming.

Zolly: It is a combination of a zoom with a dolly. The background gets smaller but the person remains the same size. It creates an overwhelming emotion feeling that something is happening.
