Editing Styles

 

 

A technique that I have also been using is the slow and fast editing techniques which can be used to build suspense or build for an exciting scene, in this case we will be focusing on building suspense rather than excitement. How slow editing works is it makes the characters move slower to what they would normally, and by doing so it creates a sense of suspension as the audience do not know what is going to happen next and when something does happen and something jumps out at the character it speeds up and makes the audience and character jump with fear and surprise at what has happened.

The second technique that I saw the film had used quite a bit was the timing of shots. I believe this is used in thriller films as it can be used to show the audience something right after a scene when it would be expected but it could also be shown just after expected so the audience do not expect the killer to jump out or be there so the suspense has been built and the audience would be shocked and surprised by what has happened.

 

 

The third technique that I have found that the clip used quite frequently was the use of the straight cut feature which would cut the scene from one scene to another. This technique was used as in the clip that I watched as it showed one character being attacked then before the scene was finished it cut and changed to a different scene that showed something completely different was happening then soon after that scene had finished it changed back to the scene before and showed the character tied up.
