Realist Realism In The Movie : Grizzly Man

Throughout the scene, the use of non-diegetic sound is used to make the audience feel worried and scared as to where Jasper is taking Charlie and what is going to happen. The deep, dusky scary music played in the background has an effect on the audience, creating a dramatic feel as Charlie did not know what was ahead for him in the shadowy, dark forest, fearing for his life as Jasper Jones is portrayed as a bad person in society because of his skin colour. Furthermore, throughout the scene, non-diegetic sound is used as an additional background sound, intensifying when Jasper and Charlie come near Laura Wishart’s hanging, dead body. As Jasper and Charlie closely creep up to Jaspers property, the music suddenly intensifies, creating a mysterious approach about what is going to happen next.

In both the movie Into the Wild and the book Grizzly Man, Chris McCandless and Timothy Treadwell conduct themselves in similar ways. However, the writer of Into the Wild, Krakauer, and the director of Grizzly Man, Herzog, portray the men in different ways. Timothy Treadwell in Into the Wild, is presented in a negative way as if he was insane. Chris McCandless was presented relatively fairly, in both a positive and negative way.

Another aspect of sound in this film was how it affected the story. By using sound dramatically in certain parts and not using it at all in other parts, sound gave this story an entity of its own. For example, during long stretches of film with mostly dialogue, there was no music played in the background, only a phone ringing in the distance, or the men's voices during their deliberation. These long silences also took place during editing shots of the town and images that surrounded this German city. This dramatic difference in sound was a revelation of how mood can be made by images and sound put together to make an incredible component.

The film techniques used in this film changes the entire landscape and changes the mood during the scene. The colour reflects on a charters feelings and the camera angles and

The movie “Grizzly Man” follows the life of wild life enthusiast Timothy Treadwell from birth to death. The documentary has many good clips that Timothy recorded while he lived with the bears. The documentary didn’t just have the opinion of the director but everyone who was close to Timothy. The documentary goes as far back to when Timothy was a kid and how he acted around animals. The film also goes as far to help the audience understand why Timothy became the person that everyone knows him as.

Many of Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories and poems, all but not limited to The Cask of Amontillado, A Tell-Tale Heart, and Annabel Lee, have had an influence on today’s stories and shows. These works of Poe all have a sinister mood, even though the pieces are different from each other. Most of his inspirations come from his childhood. Although that his mother died and his father left him at a young age of three, Poe has been very successful in his studies. Unfortunately, he had been kicked out because of financial problems.

Imagine sailing on a boat with some crew mates. Everyone is asleep and you fall into the water after leaning too far over the side of the ship. Unable to get help, you swim until you find an island, thinking you will be able to hunt there. But instead, the tables are turned. You become the hunted. In Richard Connell’s short story, “The Most Dangerous Game,” he uses to literary elements suspense, conflict, and setting to pull the reader into the story and make them feel as if they are actually living out all of the events of the story themselves. Without these literary elements, the story would be uneventful, dull, and boring. Richard Connell does a fantastic job of using literary elements in his writing to make a fast-paced and eventful story

The use of music/sound annotate the mood and help create the feeling that Burton is trying to deliver to the audience. Burton adds tranquility to his films with non-diegetic sound in Edward Scissorhands. When Peg enters through the gates of a dark, sinister looking mansion, she unexpectedly finds herself in a beautiful garden with bushes that have creative and incredible designs. After Peg notices the decorative garden she is standing in, nice calming music plays in the background. The sound of the angelic and harmonious chorus relates to the peaceful and serene garden. The music notifies the audience that although the mansion looks terrifying, the beautiful garden indicates the contrast between the two. This gives the audience a sense of tranquility as Peg reaches the door. However, once Peg enters the mansion, Burton returns to the eerie and creepy non-diegetic sounds. The chorus begins to get louder while repeating the same beat to add tension and anticipation on what will happen to Peg. With the help of the piano, Burton establishes the new frightening mood after creating a cheerful mood. Peg’s adventure to the mansion is much more exciting for the audience, with the use of non-diegetic sound. Burton utilizes music/sound in Big Fish as well. When Edward takes a shortcut to Spectre through an odd looking path in the woods, Edward suddenly finds trouble along the way. Burton

Horror films are known for their ability to scare audiences, to get the audience’s hearts racing, their blood rushing. A good horror film will cause viewers to be on the edge of their seats and having their perception of reality distorted as they attempt to understand the unraveling plot of the horror film. The tone of the film aides in the amount of suspense that a horror film produces, since a much darker film will create a more suspenseful atmosphere than one that is more focused on campy monster makeup. But the tone of a film is determined by the sound of the film, or in other words, the score. Sound or music in a horror film, or the lack thereof, make the intense scenes and without the addition

He is able to use these parts to manipulate the audience’s emotions. The music playing from the car is an on-screen sound. As the man gets attacked, the volume increases. The sound helps intensify the scene that has been created by the film’s visual elements. The audience then subconsciously forms ideas, opinions, and feelings about what they are seeing. The viewers develop scared feelings as the scene intensifies to the happy upbeat tune. The increasing volume of the cheery song reflects the violence and the sinisterness of the scene. The song stops with the slamming of the car’s driver-side door as the man is abducted. There is a moment of silence and then a new song abruptly entered the silent scene. The music is non-diegetic and is an offscreen sound. The song is screechy, high pitched, and jagged sounding at first, continuing the anxious and scared mood. The song shifts into a sort of soulful hymn. The tone shifts along with the song. The audience begins to feel relieved and relaxes to the peaceful song.

Werner Herzog directed a documentary film called Grizzly Man to show viewers how much interest Timothy Treadwell demonstrated towards human nature and how he demonstrates human nature through himself. Timothy Treadwell spent thirteen long summers in Alaskan Peninsula. He went to go portray his love and protection to the wild life and grizzly bears, which lead him to his miserable death. Herzog creates a sequence of scenes, comments, and interviews from people who is well connected directly or indirectly with Treadwell. His purpose of directing the Grizzly Man documentary through Treadwell’s own film was to convey the viewers the difference of human beings and the wild life animals. Herzog’s main effective argument was to convey how courageous and how insane Treadwell was to spend thirteen summers in the wild life of grizzly bears.

Even though the film is essentially a visual experience, the use of sound has become extremely important in modern film. The modern viewer hears a complicated soundtrack that is as meaningful as the image on the screen. Three elements comprise the film's soundtrack: the dialogue, the sound effects, and the musical score. The proper balance and mix of these elements produced the essential emphasis required, which created the desired effects. As explained by Joseph Boggs and Dennis Petrie,

This clearly explains the significance of music and the role that has in motion pictures. Music has to match the emotions that the actors are showing and the environment they are in. If fail to do so, the movie could be a dreadful thing to watch.

     The music helped in elaborating this great film. As I mentioned in class different instruments helped create different moods for different scenes in the movie. We heard the cello and the violin to create sadness and remorse. The flute created eeriness and the trumpet created awareness. I thought these were instruments and tools that help make this film extraordinary.
