Meet The Fockers: AirPort Scene
The scene what I have chosen is from the movie Meet The Fockers starring Ben Stiller, Teri Polo and Robert De Niro as the main actors. The movie about Jack and Dina Byrnes played by Robert De Niro and Blythe Danner going to meet Greg Focker parents played by Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman, to see if Grey is the one of their child.
The scene what I have picked from the movie is when Greg Focker and Pam Byrnes going on there the way to the airport to fly away. The music in the background tells us that this is happy and uplifting because the tempo of the song is light, as well as the chorus says” We going to get married” and normally when you are going to get married to someone your very happy. The instrument’s what’s playing in the song is a drum playing lightly, saxophone and a guitar-strumming lightly as well to keep the tempo light.
Also, they have tried so hard to make sure the scene is ambient so for example when Greg and Pam are leaving to go to the airport they have added in that other people will be getting taxis, cars driving, people walking everywhere and loads of noises because New York is a busy city fall of people. But this doesn’t mean that they have to focus on all the noises, they focus on the speaking of Greg and Pam talking to the guy who just gives his taxi to them, with all the noises around them in the background. Went they are in the taxi Greg says “ nice guy” and Pam says “yeah” then the lights all change to green with a dinging sound for an instrument. And so far for them everything is just going easy for them, because they on their way to going and get married. Then when they get to the airport they have done the same thing as what they did when Greg and Pam was leaving their apartment, they have add ambient at the airport because you see when they turn up at the airport there are lots of cars parked outside, especially because it’s in the middle of the day so more people would be there. Also you hear announcements of informant being said on the microphone to the passengers warning them something. As well has see Greg and Pam waiting in a large queue, what you normally have at airports. But Greg and Pam get more luck because the got to be the first people on the other security check and also this time Grey bag got throw unlike the first movie. Also you hear more announcement being said when they are booking their flight. As well as get more luck due to the fly was overbooked so they got first class.
Furthermore, the dialogue was done so if someone is speaking the music would be lowed however continues in the background, yet no singing just instruments playing. Again when Greg and Pam got into the taxi and all the lights go green the music gets raised up and repeats” we are going to get married” to reminds us again what they are doing. Then they get to the airport the course finishes, the security guard says, “ You two, you’re up”, with all the music lowed as soon as he speaks. Then Meet The Fockers title comes up on the screen underlined. Then the music goes back up and the singer sings until the end of his line then a long saxophone sound plays, at that point the music gets lowed because the women at the checking start to speak. Also, they raised the sound of the keyboard when she’s typing. This is for a joke because they say normally when people behind the desk they are always typing.
Finely there’s lots of sound effect added to this clip. For example a car brake squeals when Grey and Pam are waiting for a taxi. Again when all the light change green the sound effect of a dinging sound plays on each light changes to green. When they turn up at the airport you hear cars driving slowly past then it cut to the security check and you hear a light sound of a whistle. Soon after with the sound of the security guard pulling open barrier followed up the sound of the luggage being slammed on to the mental desk, shortly after with a pushing sound. Plus the sound of the keyboards most likely to be a sound effect as because it was so load. Additionally the sound when the woman goes to past the boarding past over with a flick sounds of paper.
