EBI: You didn't mention music in Q3 and more time/focus needed on the last question - Editing
Re-write of the Editing question
Editing is vital in being used as a peripheral tool in generating excitement and tension largely because the person creating the film is in control. The crafty use of slow-paced editing has been deliberately deployed to immerse the audience with the scene; the scene recognising the benefits in terms of audience pleasures. The slow style allows the audience to understand the actions occurred in the scene. When the gun shot is used, there is a scene of the editing becoming faster when the shady character is trying to escape. This leads to audience to have question therefore enhancing enigma codes. There is also plenty uses of binary opposition shown especially with the characters. The person with the cigarette can be represented as fire and the person dressed in black shown as water. This clever use of editing shows the character smoking has his life ambitions extinguished by the water. This shows how editing can give the characters identities. The editing also takes the transitions into thought as well. There are several jump cuts being used in this extract to disconcert and engage the audience. This produces a sense of crisis shown in the scene as we are forced to focus on the violent shots such as arson. The editing in this scene achieves the theatrical impression and builds tension successfully. Another use of editing that was shown in the extract is the constant switching between both characters. The failure to show the person’s face indicates that something immoral is about to happen. The cropped out image creates drama and tension as the audience begins to ask questions. The constant use of change in editing, in terms of the camera framing, indicates that something illegal is about to occur.
