How sound is used in worm hole scene in interstellar

When they are entering the worm hole music starts to build as it gets louder and faster to make it more intense making it build up for something big. However a beeping noise then comes to indicate something has gone wrong with constant rattling to indicate that the spaceship has been damaged. Then the camera pans outside of the spaceship and its complete silence as sound doesn't travel in space going from a really noisy chaotic scene into a very calm environment. When they make it out of the worm hole calming music comes on to show that they finally have made it after all that traumatic experience the calming music comes on to indicate that now they can relax finally after all the trauma caused by crossing the worm hole. The beeping also stops to indicate that they are also out of danger and are now safe to continue.

Strauss narrative theory


The Strauss narrative 
Levi Strauss, a French anthropologist in the 1900s, proposed a theory of 'binary opposites' which entails that the majority of narratives in media forms such as books and film contain opposing main characters
 binary opposition is a pair of related terms or concepts that are opposite in meaning. Binary opposition is the system by which, in language and thought, two theoretical opposites are strictly defined and set off against one another It is the contrast between two mutually exclusive terms, such as on and off, up and down, left and right.

Camera movement

In every TV or film there are different types of camera movement to show different stuff or emotion
for example in this jaws scene it zooms in into the chiefs face to show that the chief is shook with the whole situation as it took him by surprise. By showing this unnatural zoom to show the audience how horrific the situation is as a kid has just been eaten alive so it does this close up to show that the event was so horrifying and shocking his about to pass out to make the audience feel shocked and uncomfortable.



camera is always moving at all time making it look very fast pace making it very exiting and entertaining and its always up close to make you feel like your in the fight as well



in comparison this a very slow fight scene with very slow camera movement making it very boring however there is a zoom right at the start to show the commanders shock at the evil lizard.

the camera always the follow the chief scout to show us around the camp in a comedic way

Camera shots


In this shot the camera pans around following the bullets and changes the center of attention to superman as he comes out of nowhere. it also has 2 low angle shots on superman and the big machine gun to show that they are superior or have more power than the other people in the scene.






In this scene we get a close up on 2 people we first get a close up to a shady looking guy meaning that he is more important as he got the close up first rather than his sidekick
