I was quite impressed by the Museum
of Moving Images. The most memorable part of the visit was the exhibit for the
special effects for a Freddy Kruegar movie. This big red shirt was used to get
actors inside of it to reenact a scene where souls are being ripped out of
Freddy with the use of a spandex like material. The use of video editing in
that scene really shows how proper editing of video clips can make something
seem more realistic while being esthetically and functionally astonishing. The
use of close ups was perfectly complemented by medium close ups of the actor,
expression emotions of distress and panic perfectly complementary to previous
scenes.
Another impressive exhibit was the
sound analysis of the movie the Titanic. The use of animal sound in the track
was shocking and only slightly noticeable when the audio is completely isolated
and examined closely. The fact that a
lion’s roar and the sound of an elephant were used to make a scene seem more
dramatic was quite shocking. It made absolutely no scene that animal sounds
would be used for water warp hole and metal falling. It was impressive to see
how the manipulations of sounds actually worked with the film to make it the
dramatic exclamation of events become expressed to the audience members. I will
definitely like to analyze sounds used in blockbuster films more closely
because it is an impressive skill to be able to inset animal sounds to footage
and go unnoticed.
