Expressive movement unit 4

Metadata

The series of static shots that take up the stagnating containment of the second unit (> EMU 2) is followed by a camera movement from right to left that helps generate the movement of the figure of Kizzarowski. The camera pan is taken up in the following shot with Transport’s approach to the scene of battle, omnipresent on the level of sound design as resounding shots. The camera movements meet—parallel to the movement of the characters Kozzarowski and Transport—at a bulldozer whose movement, accompanied by the camera, expands the established space of action, and determines a vector in opposition to the continuous expanding movement of the enemy on the acoustic level (heavy artillery fire). The military objective, the enemy radio station, is—on the level of camera movement—the vanishing point of the vector of movement that breaks through enemy lines, ending the stagnation of the image through the dynamics of its movement. Reaching the objective is dominated on the level of sound design by the sound of a roaring motor that counters the roaring of the enemy machine gun artillery and ends in the loud destruction of the radio station. The movement along a vector is replaced by the advance of the Marines, now closing in, and the crumpling of the victims on the now unmoving bulldozer.
