Film Analysis: Closely Analysed a Short Horror Film (Edititing)

This is a brief summary of what editing techniques could be using in order to improve its effectiveness and help provide that "SCARE FACTOR" for our audiences. In turn I believe that these techniques are excellent for us to produce a film with displays differ complex attributes which will make it a success .

 

Editing word bank and definition	How it could be adopted into our film
Match cut –  is when a cut in film editing, between two different spaces, or different compositions in which the object or person in two shots graphically match , which in theory helps establish continuity of action	This could be used within our films (when Kaylah is running down the darkened corridor) which relates to the first shot in the beginning of the film. This matches which allows comparisons to be made by the audience
Flash cutting -  this is where the sequence of the film is edited in order for the durations of the shots are very  brief	This can be used for the scenes where Kaylah sees the ghost in her reflection. This instigates the view in which Kaylah’s eyes are playing tricks on her
Jump cut – when a cut appears to be an interruption of a single shot, it happens usually within a scene rather then between scenes.to condense the shot	This could be used when the ghost is seen in many places within our film this shows the interruption of the scene which shows that the ghost every and bringing its darkness to consume the innocent victims Kyle, Rory and Kaylah.
Overlapping editing- Cuts which repeat a part or all of the action thus increasing the viewing time for the audience	We can use this by producing a montage of the ending of the film which will help the audience question how they got the that point of fear and anarchy
Subliminal cut – this is when a cut consisting of a few frames which zip so fast that the audience on subliminally are aware of them	This relates also to flash cutting because they both focused on providing the audience with as little information about the goings on within the film as possible this in turn allows the director to have their audiences out of the seats dreading what will come next
