Rear Window Activator

Sound Effects
In the Alfred Hitchcock film Rear Window there can be many sound effects heard throughout the film that are being used. The first sound effect that I heard was the alarm clock that rang which woke up the man and the woman who were sleeping on the fire escape outside of their apartment. The next sound was the woman breathing while she sat up on the mattress next to the man. After that you can hear a radio begin to play and continue to play in the background throughout the entire scene. As the camera pans down to the next apartment window pigeons on the roof can be heard chirping and scene wondering around. After that the camera pans to look down at the street level and a car engine can be heard along the street as well as children laughing and playing in the courtyard. Lastly a woman can be heard humming very briefly as she hangs her clothes out of the window to dry.

The biggest challenge that I faced in this project was making the plate. I wanted a particular look to the plate that was proving to be a challenge. I wanted the curve to go up and then out in a smooth and natural fashion. This was a little difficult to accomplish with the bezier curve because I was working with multiple curves in a slim area. It created difficulty because the curves were almost overlapping and made it hard to see which curve was which. I overcame this challenge through trial and error. I used trial and error by seeing what happened when one curve was adjusted and then I would undo that action. I kept doing this until I achieved the result that I wanted. That is how I overcame the challenge of forming the curves for the plate.

Why Music? Music is an essential part of film. It can be used to set the tone for a scene or to drive the action. When used correctly in conjunction with visuals, music can transform the emotional experience of a film. Some of the most memorable moments of a film are because of the score. Film scores can be used to build tension, fear, or any emotion. For this investigation I will be learning about how to create a film score. The Psychological Effect of Music In Film 1 during our study of film history we discussed what is known as the Kuleshov effect. The Kuleshov effect is an analysis of how the audiences interpretation of an image changes in relation to the next image. So if you have a man with a neutral face and you cut to a hamburger and back to the man he looks hungry. Similarly, music creates a tone for the visuals presented to the audience. This tone is what allows the audience to understand the emotions they are intended to be feeling while viewing the film. A grea...
