Music, Camera Angels, and Edit

This films use of music, camera angels and the way it was edited effected the way it was presented to the viewers.


The triumphant music was a major build up, in presenting the arrival of Hitler. The very beginning of the film you see these breathtaking sights of the clouds and the music made everything seem as if it was alright, not even alright but bringing a sense of hope that this wonderful person in this plane can bring such dramatic change to Germany. 

The camera angels also played a large role in this film. The camera angles were very low facing upwards towards Hitler, giving him more of a powerful and significant demeanor. There were also shots which would circle Hitler from one side to the other giving the film viewers the idea that this person up on the podium is a very important figure who will create change. He, to the German people, was very idolized. The people of Germany looked up to him as if he was super human, so the angels had a great impact in that sense. 

The way this film was shot and put together was very beautifully done that it's almost scary that we actually have the power to create this image and disguise this masquerade to then evolve into something that appears beautiful to the senses, but behind the senses is a whole other story.
