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.
