In this blog I will be transcribing a scene from the matrix.
The scene in this movie uses a number of techniques to portray the intensity of the scene. The timing of the music, to the thunder crackling in the background is important in making the most of these memorable lines in the film. The loudness of the thunder can be heard throughout Morpheus’s speech giving that eerier effect on the entirety of the situation. The subjective time is also used in between his speech, mostly at the end. For example when neo takes the pill the thunder truly comes forth in the scene to add the effect on the journey Neo is about to embark on. The listening modes also give way to Neo’s future. To begin the music makes us a casual listener. The crescendo tells us when something climatic is going to happen. The softer side of the music builds and prepares the audience for this moment. Also the referential listening in this scene brings about thoughts on the outside world. The world that Neo hates so much and truly wants to leave is filled with thunder at this particular time. The audience’s attention at times is drawn beyond the room and out into the city. Where we picture this polluted city full of crime and hatred and perhaps that gives some persuasion to Neo to take the green pill.
