As the due date draws nearer our film opening is beginning to look more like a film opening, as we have a complete timeline and just need to tidy up the cuts and add things that our peers told us would make our product better.
We have almost finished and have played around with sound but settled for nondiegetic sound throughout as it alone creates enough tension. It will all be complete soon... Hopefully.
Shot reverse shot is used in this clip so that we can see both sides of the conversation. We can also see how each of the characters react to what the other person says in more detail than a split screen.
Split Screen - When Harry Met Sally
Like shot reverse shot a split screen is used so that viewers can see both sides of the conversation but at the same time. By using a split screen a movie can show two different thing at different places happening at different or the same time.
Parallel Editing - Silence of the Lambs
Parallel editing allows the audience to see two different sets of action unfolding at the same time. In this clip one within the house, and one outside the house. Towards the end of the clip, we can see another set of action with Clarice. We are made to feel that the police are intercepting on the house of the Cannibal, but in actual fact it is Clarice who is outside the Cannibal's house. The effect of parallel editing is that all three events are linked together and it causes tension to build.
Montage - Big Hero 6 Many action movies have that very important 'suiting up' montage. This is used to show many things happening over a long period of time with motivating music playing over the top of it all.
Eye-line Match - Star Wars
This is used to show things from the view of a character, it gives the effect that you are in the characters place. In this scene you can see Princess Leia and she is looking at the storm troopers which builds up suspence as she then shoots at them.
