Staying with the hypothetical...<BR/><BR/>"The bomb is under the table and the audience is aware of this because they have seen the anarchist plant it there. They also know that the bomb will go off at one o’clock, and up on the wall is a clock showing that the time is now quarter to one [...]."<BR/><BR/>Only the bomb doesn’t go off at one o’ clock. We get nervous laughter. Maybe it was a dud? We start to relax. Then we catch up with the antagonist existing the building, checking his watch... <BR/><BR/>"...suddenly there is a loud boom and the bomb goes off..."<BR/><BR/>His watch shows its one o’ clock, which would reveal the other clocks were fast. Maybe he set them forward as a cruel joke? Who knows?<BR/><BR/>Fun stuff, huh?<BR/><BR/>But, yeah, I was trying to say relatively the same thing in my article. A lot of things have to go right in order to achieve tension. Maybe next time I won’t ramble so damn much.David Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954618022277834648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-3746229236533038772008-10-06T14:54:00.000-04:002008-10-06T14:54:00.000-04:00It seems like modern films can sometimes get away ...It seems like modern films can sometimes get away without giving the audience specific information.<BR/><BR/>In the opening scene of many an action film, whenever you see characters having an innocuous conversation, you <I>know</I> something bad's gonna happen.<BR/><BR/>Remember the business people getting on the elevator in <I>Speed</I>? Or in <I>Resident Evil</I>, for that matter?<BR/><BR/>Or, for a classier example, watch Clive Owen getting a cup of coffee in <I>Children of Men</I>.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I think these only work after decades of Hitchcock and his imitators. <A HREF="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PopculturalOsmosis" REL="nofollow">Many people</A> may not even realize <I>why</I> they know something bad is going to happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-16656900723999239312008-10-05T20:32:00.000-04:002008-10-05T20:32:00.000-04:00Excellent article . . .Excellent article . . .Joshua Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08239067667651048280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-249526149398619252008-10-05T20:20:00.000-04:002008-10-05T20:20:00.000-04:00I was supposed to write my own take on suspense fo...I was supposed to write my own take on suspense for the blog-a-thon, but got sidetracked with a script.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, I was presenting two contrasting examples. One was a scene from Halloween. And it plays into your audience acknowledgement. It was the scene where Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) decides to check on her friend across the street and the very simple walk from one house to the other. It's nailbiting and terrifying and all it is is a character crossing the street.<BR/><BR/>The other goes against the idea of audience awareness and it's a scene in Training Day where Jake (Ethan Hawke) is playing cards with the gangbangers in the kitchen. We know as much as Jake does, yet the scene is gutwrenchingly tense, just for the sheer intimidation the characters present. <BR/><BR/>I came to the conclusion that suspense is all about tapping into that knee jerk reaction of wanting to pull your feet up from the floor because there's a shark in the water on screen. It's primal and it's a teasing of your senses, to push you to breaking point. Ultimately when a movie is suspenseful it's truly engaging you and isn't that what every filmmaker wants? To engage its audience.<BR/><BR/>I've loved reading this blog-a-thon. I'm just sorry I didn't finish my post for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
