Planning Editing Styles
Editing is crucial in any film but especially a thriller as this is what helps give the film continuity and make the film clip flow.Editing is very important in any thriller film as it is this that creates mystery, suspense and enigmas which are what thrillers are all about.This will keep an audience engaged and make them want to continue watching so the suspense can keep on building.
There are many styles of editing that we have included in our clip.One of these is a straight cut, this is used simply when a camera angle changes or another scene is taking place. This is used as it changes the perspective and as we have 3 locations and this will be very useful. We use this to highlight the differences in our scene and to help the clip continue and this makes the clip more engaging. This is the one that is most frequently used in films.
Fast editing is where the scene moves quickly from one shot to another. It is used in our clip extensively due to the nature of the clip, we use it in times such as the chase scene and the car driving in which are fast paced.This makes the clip quicker and shows action and helps keep the audience entertained and wanting to watch so it moves quickly at points , these include fast editing, straight cut, timing of shot and slow editing. All of these contribute to our clips suspense and mystery and make the clip better.
Another editing technique that is used in our clip is a jump cut, this is when a camera angle changes only slightly. In our clip the car driving at the start will have numerous camera angles to show how it is going.This shows the car and the background and makes the audience aware of the scene and helps give lots of angles on the background.This shows the audience that it is a dark road and that she is clearly alone.
Slow editing is when scenes come slowly after one another and make a scene much slower. We use this when the start of the chase happens to add dramatic effect to the start of the bug chase which is very fast so this balances it out.This gives the audience a chance to think about what is happening and will make more sense to them through this.Also we can see what the characters are about to do and make more of a connection between the audience and the victim.
In summary editing is crucial and cannot be left out of a film.Especially with thriller it is what helps make the whole film flow and create something that seems real and could actually to anybody, this makes the whole film better in turn. This makes the experience for the audience more real and helps the audience belive in the film and in the case of a thriller film more scary.
