The Cinematography of High Noon as a Means for Showing Drama and Suspense
Drama and suspense can be shown in a number of ways in a film. ... Fred Zinnemann’s film High Noon uses none of the preceding, but instead uses cinematography to create drama and suspense. ... Both of these help to create a sense of suspense and drama that could keep even the most laidback persons on the edge of their seats.
The still footage in High Noon keeps the viewers thinking of the time and of the inevitable. ... In High Noon the enemy that returns for revenge is the outlaw Frank Miller (Ian MacDonald). ... This shot creates a sense of suspense because every time the train tracks are shown the viewers think that the train is coming then. ... The viewers are correct the train is coming soon but, unlike most other films High Noon is shot in real time, so the viewers must realize that there is no time passed between scenes and shots. Suspense is not the only expression created in this shot.
Drama is also created by this still shot of the railroad tracks. Drama is created through the use of this shot because it vividly shows the emotions between marshal Kane and Frank Miller.
