Raging Bull: Time Slowed Down

In the class we watched a scene from Raging bull where the two characters (Jake LaMotta & Sugar ray Robinson) were in the boxing ring in their 13th round. This is a really good example to show how speed and volume can effect an audience because it is a very fast and intense sport. At the beggining of the clip we see a slow motion movement to get to the middle of the ring before the fight, I think this shows how the fighter feels just before and how it is like everything has slowed right down and then it all come back to normal. As the image is sped up the volume also increases which I think makes the audience feel like they are the fighter because they are seeing AND hearing the stuff as the fighter on screen.
After the first intense fight we see that the black man (Sugar ray) takes a step back and then everything is quiet, this gives a dramatic build up to whatever comes next, because of the expression and the way that the camera is angled it once again puts us in the boxers shoes "what is gonna happen next? how long do i wait?" getting us excited and nervous.
I think the way they put some shots in real time and some of the bigger hits in slow motion really gave it that extra something for the screen, made the audience stop and see what was happening instead of the end result. We saw the blood slowly spew from his eyes and nose and we saw the expressions as he was hit around the face and i think that is why it looked so good. If the shot was just all real time it wouldnt have given us the feeling of shock or excitement that it did.
