Extra Credit - Man On Wire

After attending Man on Wire, I noticed many incidents of content and form. The producers used many fimling techniques to exploit a certain topic or express something in an exaggerated way. They related many things to one another using different elements. For example, audio elements played a significant role in the movie. They would play clown music whenever Phillipe would ride around on his unicycle and juggle around town. Also, they played slow, sad violin and orchesta music whenever Phillipe's friends were interviewed to show the concerns and worries they had for Philiipe before he would attempt his tight rope walkings. Also, violin and orchesta music was also used whenever Phillipe performed his tight rope walkings to show the graceful and peaceful way in which he performed his stunts. It was almost as he was was performing an art from the way the producers made the scene appear. Also, music and audio was used when "Mission Impossible" music was used while Phillipe and his friends were hiding from the guards, which was used to create drama and suspense. Also, in order to show how dangerous tight rope walking truly was, the directors of the movie used very unique camera angels to show the extreme heights. Camera angels were used clear from airplane views and looking down to attempt to frighten the audience. And finally, an element that the directors and producers used was interiewing each person. This gave the viewer a first hand experience of what truly occured and presents real emotions and feelings. There were many elements in thise movie that were exploited to express content and form.
