One thing that struck me to be interesting, that really set that this movie was to emphasize the black hero Shaft, was through the audio quality on his lines. In an early scene where shaft is outside and his friend and colleague Vic Androzzi is chasing him down trying to find out why some guys are out looking for him. During this scene you can tell Shaft’s lines were re-done in post-production and Vic was left to the location audio. Vic Androzzi’s were full of wind and city ambiance making his lines next to inaudible. Whether Shaft’s original location recorded lines were even worse off and they didn’t want to spend extra time and/or money on over-dubbing Vic’s lines is another argument to be made. I also could be looking into this too deeply, as which most people could argue has been done about what Shaft really represents and as to why it was made.
