THE DARK KNIGHT- TEXTUAL ANALYSIS













in one of the scenes of the dark knight they use media language creatively by conveying the meaning to the audience this is evident through using cinematography for example they use a crane shot when the robbers are going down the zip line; to create the sense of fear whist tilting the camera to show how high up they are. another way they use media language creatively is by using cross-cutting wen the two robbers are cutting the wires and the others are running into the bank this creates a sense of teamwork and tension as they are working co-operatively to rob the bank and yet rushing so they can do it quickly before the police come.


SOUND
  • DIEGETIC SOUND- ACTORS CAN HEAR SOUND ( BELONGS IN THE FILM) ON AND OFF(CANT SEE WHATS MAKING THE SOUND) SCREEN SOUND 
  • NON-DIEGETIC SOUND- SOUND THAT ISN'T PART OF THE FILM ADDED AFTERWARDS ( VOICE OVERS / SOUND EFFECTS /SOUND TRACK ACTORS CANT HEAR THE SOUND)
  • SOUND BRIDGE - ONE SCENCE THAT HAS SOUND BUT THE SOUND CONTINUOUS TO THE NEXT SCENE ( CONNECTS THE TWO SCENES TOGETHER)
  • PARALLEL SOUND- THE SOUND THAT WE HEAR IN A FILM COMPLIMENTS THE THNG WERE SEEING ( SAD MUSIC SAD THING HAPPENING)
  • CONTRAPUNTAL SOUND - SOUND THAT DOESN'T MATCH WHAT WE SEE (OFTEN CALLED ASYNCHRONOUS SOUND)
