Name That Scene

Listen Close!
This is a link to my movie scene, chosen on account of the sound in the scene. Listen closely!



For right now, I had to save it as a jpeg. I continually get errors when I try and save it as a pdf. I will go back in and try again later. However, it wouldn't work.

This scene from Paranormal Activity is very strong to me when dealing with sound. it goes from silent to screams and cries in a matter of a couple seconds. what is so particularly great about this scene is the timing of it. it is like real life, and that makes for a much scarier movie for an audience. both the speed and the loudness are perfect. the loudness of the sound effects makes it seem as if you are standing right at the end of the bed watching. i feel as if the speed is a huge aspect of this is scene, and the movie in general. like i said before, it goes from a quiet sleeping couple to a screaming scared women being dragged from her boyfriend in a matter of two seconds. that's scary. it makes an audience feel as if that could easily happen to them because it looks so real. another huge aspect is the way the director used space and movement. the way they made the demon's shadow move swiftly pass the door gave me the chills. also, the actress feel from the bed perfectly. it looked as if she was actually being dragged. the space in that bedroom looked like my bedroom at home. it makes for a more emotional appeal because how real it actually looks. so i guess i better be aware, demon's can do incredible things in small places!
