[Continuity editing]

This establishing shot is purpose is to briefly inform the audience of the location to create context behind the next scene. The shot is effectively used to resemble meaning through the places importance to the story and the nostalgia it brings through its genre of fantasy.

This short scene showed an effective example of a cut in being used to establish a small bit of context. This helped inform us  with a small bit of prior knowledge from the previous episode that the characters are talking about dungeons and dragons.

It is used to switch between shots to insinuate that a people are looking at each other.

[Continuity editing]

As we can see the girl is at an art gallery and begins to look at something. The next shot reveals she is looking at a calming & beautiful painting. As she looks closer the shot than reveals its meaning when it shows its contrast, to what she is seeing a character in the painting, drowning. The meaning presents a contrast in the world where everybody is getting on and focusing on their own lives that they don’t stop to see what is right in front of them, or what is happening to others around them therefore effectively giving meaning to the character and potentially the story.

This shot was fairly creative. They used a sound  transition of a loud thud from the previous shot as the box of christmas lights are placed on the glass table from a low angle. Match on action is than used as the main character continues to take her hands off of the box and carry out the rest of the scene.

This can be used to change location, timeframe or to switch between thought or two show a parallel.

This example was effectively used to express the themes and expression of the musical whilst still showing the contrast between the reality of the situation without withdrawing the movie magic that is being consistently presented throughout the film. These two shots informed us that.

This example demonstrates this through the change of angle giving us multiple points of view of the scene whilst making smooth transitions between shots to consistently engage the audience without the feeling of obstruction. It also allows backstage equipment to be edited out.

This montage was effectively used to show the characters progression through training to learn kung fu with the addition of various shots from different scenes we could see a clear change and character development.

This clip from Jurassic Park shows an interesting viewpoint. The scene starts to convey worry and fear for the characters as the dinosaur charges towards the young girl. Panicked, the girl can’t shut the door in time and as the dinosaur is just about to get to her it slams into a reflection of her causing it to pass out. Juxtaposition was used here to insinuate fear and unsafety only to reveal the character to be safe.

Parallel editing has worked really well in this scene from the silence of the lambs. A character is in trouble so the next shot shows the FBI arriving to help. Tension is already built from the suspense. As a member of the FBI in disguise with a gun in the box is ringing the doorbell, the villain is struggling to get to the door in time. The FBI rings the door again. And finally the villain opens the door to reveal the FBI is not there  but instead the main character meaning that the FBI is at the wrong place therefore creating the unexpected.

This cross cutting used in Inception is switching between two worlds. This insinuates that the motions that are happening to the real world is happening to the dream world too. This was successful for its purpose and helped to its express meaning clearly. Editing helped in showing a clearer contrast between the scene in addition to the mise en scene used to to show a difference in space and colour entirely.

This freeze frame from brooklyn 99 is used to present the credits. It’s simple yet effective as it lets the editing and music take effect to help resemble its genre of comedy. Another well known example is from the end scene in breakfast club.

Deadpool uses this in a scene to resemble its genre of comedy and action as the car continues to flip over mid air  and deadpool states ‘did I forget to leave the stove on’.  Although this isn’t the traditional use of slow motion, which is often used by slowing down the film in editing it shows a similar concept in its meaning. It used to highlight or resemble the moment.

This example was used to insinuate that the two characters are talking to each other on the phone from different places however some split screens may use this to divert our mind only to reveal they are in the same place.

This star wars film shows the use of the transition in which it helped create a contrast between the places.

By reviewing the use of dissolve in this shot I would assume there is a important connection between the two characters from the parallel that has been drawn between the two frames.

The difference between this and dissolve is that it turns to colour instead of another frame. This can also be used at the end of a scene to show the effect of the scenario and allow the audience to digest and review the situation. An example of a tv series that uses this affect a lot is Glee.
