Blog Assignment #4

Scene from the movie, Gone Baby Gone
Directed by: Ben Affleck







brief critique 
  
The scene in that I have chosen is very quiet and it allows for a tense situation.  Just like the scene from The Godfather this scene uses the lack of noise to make everything to sound louder.  The speed and loudness of this scene are both low.  It is not a loud scene, and it is also very slow paced.  This creates tension, which is appropriate for the situation.  The tonal center of this scene is one of frustration and tension.  The characters have a lot on the line in this sequence.  The listening mode is highly referential, and not casual at all.  If the audience is not listening intently, they will miss the tone, and the point of the scene.  Gone Baby Gone is a very intense action-thriller, and it requires a very intent audience.  The emotion of the movie will not be caught if someone were just watching casually with a bunch of friends.
