The blocking of this scene shows Charley at the head, indicating the hierarchy in the gang. We find that Terry had no knowledge of the murder, as he thought “the worst they was gonna do was lean on him a little bit”. Tullio and Truck’s jokes, “maybe he could sing, but he couldn’t fly”, is juxtaposed with Terry’s guilt and concern over the ordeal. This shows the separation between Terry and the other gang members. Use of character clothing shows this distinction in power as well.
How does Kazan create tension and suspense in ‘On the Waterfront?’ (unfinished) - Rebecca Elia Kazan’s 1954 film On the Waterfront portrays a society gripped by corruption and injustice. The choice of location off traditional sets and the direction by Kazan supports the build up of tension and suspense of the film. He adopts a wide range of symbols and motifs to emphasise the oppression and entrapment of the people on the docks and the corruption caused through the mob and their actions. The music score by Leonard Bernstein added to the techniques used by Kazan by further highlighting the tension and suspense throughout the film. The adoption of symbols and motifs reflect on the corruption and injustices of the longshoreman of the time.
