I chose to watch the movie “Red Eye” since I have seen it a few times. I wanted to pick an action movie because I assumed there would be a lot of dramatic scenes. The movie begins with a montage with a mix of music and background noise from the opening scenes of the movie. There are various scenes with people opening boxes and cars driving by. This set up the storyline very well. There were also several shots of with various camera heights. Medium camera heights were used at some scenes so that we couldn’t see the faces of some of the characters to keep their identity a secret and adding intensity. Later, I noticed that there were no fading scenes, only cut transitions. There was also a lot of dollying following the main character, Lisa, as she rushed through the airport. There was a scene when Lisa was in the bathroom where it was focused on the back of her head and then the camera changed its focus to Lisa’s face in the mirror. I didn’t notice any tilting or use of mechanical techniques for varying angles. As the movie continued, there were still only cut transitions. There were a few small montages when the scenes were changing. Intense music was used and quick zooming across a landscape or a building. The movie had decent variation throughout and had good overall quality, in my opinion.
