Soundtrack
The
soundtrack is notably used to create effect for the audience which fit the
genre. When the entrance of the hero cage arrives on the scene he has majestic
soundtrack to allow the audience which emulates the heroes power and status. So
the soundtrack is used in the genre to emphasize the protagonist to the
audience. The soundtrack also creates tension and gives a clear point to the
audience. This film uses sound bridge as they use the same sound whilst
changing scene which shows us that the scene is linked to the other one and
gives the audience a sense is linked together. Asynchronous sound is used when
a supposed happy scene is occurring and a sad/unhappy background song is used
this builds up tension as the audience are left guessing in why it has happened
and makes the next scene much more intense and much more exciting ad is used in
edge of tomorrow when they have been successful in defeating the enemy but the
sound is does not relate so there could be a twist. Synchronous sound is used
quite frequently in this film as when the action/shooting occurred and the
sound you would expect to hear comes on which would be war conventions like
explosions tank sounds machine guns’ sound etc.
Camera
Establishing
shot is used frequently as it sets the scene up, in the film few times of a war
convention so the establishing shot sometimes was soldiers marching on the
beach which was an establishing shot as it lets the audience know a little
about what the scene is going to be like. Ariel shot is a high angle shot they
call it extreme as it shows an angle which shows a lot of the picture. An Ariel
shot is used a lot in edge of tomorrow as it had shown a large picture of the
hero and villain fighting it out and gives almost a mutual prospect as it
showing it from above in the middle of them. A point of view shot is used when
cage was arming the gun showing that he is much more experienced as a soldiers. Steadicam was used when the protagonists cage goes to shoot antagonist alien
and Steadicam used to smooth down the action to make it softer and less
violent.
Mise-en-scene
Mise-en-scène
is predominantly utilised at the start of the extract with cage carrying around
all the armour to make him stand out and higher up, to the effect of conveying
his power and presence. In addition, Mise-en-scene features a distinctive
costume, to further isolate him from the antagonists and make him stand-out to
the audience.
Editing
Editing is
also utilized in different ways which help heighten the action scenes. For example,
slow paced editing is used to create an atmosphere and make the audience sense
that something is going to happen. Then the editing speeds up this is normally
when there is an imminent fight scene when cage fights the aliens and heightens
the tension.
