Angles & Sound
Dan perri uses lots of close up shots to identify key
factors. His title sequences also build up tension by using
slow paced effects and long cuts. In ‘Raging Bull’ Dan
perri uses sound to represent Jake la Motta’s personality.
As Jake la Motta’s aggressive and quick tempered
personality this music shows that when he is in the ring he
is at peace, and the only way he can express himself is
through the poetic motion of fighting hence the music
being played is poetic and peaceful. The fog in this
particular sequence could show that in La Motta’s mind he
has blocked the world out and is concentrating on his
fight.
