The Waterfront Movie begins with a long shot and the surroundings at the edge of a waterfront. There is dark lighting, like if sunset was about to hit, and we can see a giant cruise liner in the harbor. The giant boat stands out in the light and most of the water is dark. There are many horizontal lines that define the giant boat, and a few vertical lines to distinguish the small boat with the mast on it as well as the shed on the side. The music has a speed and suspense that suggests something bad is about to happen. The camera has a long shot that transitions to medium. The long shot is balanced with the fast music because since there is a long short, there is not as much suspense with the rushed music and you feel more at ease. The Men come out of the small shed near the dock. They walk in a linear fashion, one behind the other, dressed in long dark coats with a mysterious look on their faces. Most of them are wearing long coats that fall to their knees, and one of them is wearing a square patterned shirt with his right hand in his jacket, his and his displeased expressions. Generally what happened in the first five minutes was that Terry was cheated. To convince Joey to go out onto the roof of the building, kill Joey by throwing him out of the building and making it look like Joey accidentally fell off the building. The ambulance arrived on the scene as soon as the incident happened and Joey's sister Edie also arrives, desperately claiming what happened and who would want to kill Joey?. In the first five minutes, the shot goes from long to medium in that time frame. When the men come out of the hangar and head towards the car where an elegant man is waiting for them. The worker...... middle of paper ......l Joey and throw him on the shore. The camera movements would be between Joey and Terry as they talk about a plan to convince everyone that he is really dead. They will have a short shot and in between a long and short shot to a distant boat where someone is watching everything that is happening. The music would continue to be suspense and loud instruments. The long shot will balance loud music with extreme close-ups. I'm not a big fan of black and white films. They don't interest me, mostly because they are mysterious and dark most of the time. At first I didn't care much about it because I was confused as to what was happening and why it was happening. After rewatching it with the class, the beginning made sense, so the second time I was more focused on the movie than the first time where I was just in a vacuum..
