An example of the affects creating by editing out shown in the screen shot from the first scene of fast and furious when "Dom" is driving under a flaming gas tanker in the air which is on fire. I might be wrong in saying this but I’d believe that this fire has been created on a computer as it would cut costs and the pollution that would be created in doing this as well as the safety of the cast the fire would of been rendered but this is just an example of many editing affects that can be used
... I think I was talking more about special affects there but I’m going to leave it on here anyways just in case (:
With editing you can build and reduce tension in a scene by speeding up the transitions or slowing them down. if you are to build tension in a scene it would generally be an action sequence where you would be trying to get the viewer on the edge of their seats desperate to see what happens next and the way the tension would be built is by using lots of shots showing which creates a busy and fast appeal
If you wanted to reduce tension you would slow the transitions down and reduce how much is going on in a scene. the sort of scenes that would be slow would be the scene that are feeding the viewer important information which would prepare them for what’s going to happen next, the reason these would be slowed down and more relaxed is because otherwise the viewer wouldn’t be able to keep up with what’s happening because there would be too much going on at once flashing from one place to another and let’s face it 90% of the time when you’re watching films your switched off and trying to stay awake?
Well done Sam, you have explored how editing can have an impact upon the meaning of a film and the way viewers interpret the action! You have also picked some good examples. A few more screen shots would have helped but I am v pleased!
