-Cady's Release (Cape Fear)
This clip shows the release of the antagonist in the film being released from jail after a sentence, he has been waiting for this day for years to be able to get revenge on the man who sent him there.
The music is spine chilling for the viewer, loud and uncomplicated as if to represent the antagonists point in the scene. As the camera moves out from the wall onto the man the music changes slightly when focused on him to a slightly quieter sound but giving the same affect, it makes the focus more on him than the sound to emphasize his presence in the scene. The music is repetitive until the guard says 'the moment you've been waiting for', there is very little speech in this scene which I think enhances the fear of him being released and the significance it holds for the film, marking in your memory. This speech also highlights the importance of the time he has been waiting for and that this moment means he can accomplish the revenge that he seeks later on in the film.
This picture shows Cady moving towards his freedom, past his fellow cell mates and in front of the guard. He walks in time with the pace of the music however it goes from being very loud to very quite as if to highlight this moment, the moment when he walks out of the prison, there is very little noise other than a few quite rattles of the other cell mates cell bars. This emphasizes the movement making it seem as if the antagonist is so dangerous that he brings everyone else to utter silence, including all other dangerous men and prisoners, this shows how powerful he is, that he will bring everything to a stand still and silence.
