Dirty Dancing 2:
Director:
Production Details: 2004 US

Non-diegetic sounds (her voice as commentary of what is going on).
Aerial views & over the shoulder views.




Gladiator:
Director: Ridley Scott
2002

Memories, long view down the path. Looking into the past? Has come a long way to get here?
Maximus is dying, music in the background suggests he is free and wants to be with his wife & son. Petals on the floor symbolise the amount of blood poured, from fights and wars. Passing into the after life. Colouring is different from the real world. The colour blue is shown maybe for the empathsis of feeling sad for maximus and the path to freedom.



The Green Mile:
Frank Darabont
2002

Eary music from the start. Cutting to another characters reactions. Close up shots. Camera follows eye motion. Lighting in the background reflects to the electricity running through the man. Another character sitting in his cell, reacts the same way, like the emotions are going through him as well. Like it is his turn next? To be in the execution chair. Or they may have been close as friends.


Jaws
Steven Speilberg
1975 USA

Diegetic sounds & non diegetic sounds. Underwater shot representing the shark in the water. Points of view shots.
False plato. Building up tension then nothing happens.
Tracking shot of running down to the water, the fence becomes more broken and looks like the waves of the ocean or maybe even the fin of the shark going up and down in the water.
Music in the background building up tension, with the woman in the water alone - knowing of danger is present.
Looking up shots as the shark is lurking beneath her waiting to attack.
You can sense that no- one will be able to hear her as no one is really around. Isolated. As the guy she was with, was too drunk and too stoned. Then just passed out. So its ironic as he could of been in the danger as well.

Munich
Steven Speilberg
2006 US

Lots of editing was used in the film, where they would cut to many different characters. There was also a strong danger for the child, where she nearly got blown up by picking up the phone. So a false plato was used. As the viewers were drawn in. The men realised it was only a child, so it hinted to be the wrong person. So they ran, very clever camera shots were used to trace there movement running towards the car. Sense of relief was brought to attention, then suddenly the room blew up. Glass fell from the shattered windows. Slow motion was used to empathsis this.
