Iron Man- Jericho Missile Test

Critique


The two topics i used to critique the scene were Listening Modes and Space... 

Listening modes

Casual sounds: In the scene there are many more semantic sounds than there are casual but Tony Stark walking down the stairs of the plane and the drinks clinking is one of the more casual sounds you notice.


Semantic sounds: These sounds include the missile being launched, the explosion, the drinks being lifted out of the cooler, the music that makes the scene more intense, and the sounds of the airplanes in the background. You would think that some of these sounds would be more natural but the way they are used are  more unnatural than anything because the sounds are more amplified than the others.

Space

Subjective/Emotional: The scene were the missiles are launched and the sound they make when they explode makes you feel like you need this equipment to feel powerful and in control. Tony Stark is trying to make the military and even the people watching this film more intrigued and amazed of his equipment, and what it can be used for. 

Movement: When the wind comes from the missiles launching it puts you in a position of knowing where you are in the film. Their hats are blown off and their hair is blowing in the wind. The sound makes you feel as if something will happen to you when the wind get closer from a distance.
