THE “SILENT SEQUENCE”

Clip 7

I know this sequence is not completely silent, but of all the scenes it has the least sound to distract or influence how you feel about what you see. The reduction in sound creates an eerie effect that allows you to become more aware of the powerful visual sequences in the film. This whole sequence is over a minute long with a variation of powerful shots. In contrast the rest of the scene most shots do not last longer than five seconds.
