Editing Techniques
In this clip the editing techniques that are were used are fade, cut, shot reverse shot. They didn't disobey the rules of the 180 degree rule while doing the shot reverse shot. Within the shot reverse shot the over the shoulder shot was used as well to show the conversation between the two. The fades were first useed to give the sub title of whats going to happen later in the film. the editor uses alot of cuts to show different scenes of the film to show what is going to happen throughout it. the editor also uses close ups to show the emotions of the characters and establishing shot to show the environment.. the pace of the clip is face to create excitment and it goes with the pace of the music that is playing. The narrative makes it sound exciting which also goes with the music which is exciting and also links with the emotion of the characters.

A good try Kim, you have identified some editing techniques and begun to analyse. You don't need to discuss other micro aspects, just focus on editing. Why did they use white fade ins? What could this signify? How did the parallel editing connect the characters? You need to write as much as you can and pick the clip apart in detail. Fades represent time passing...the fast pace creating excitement is the kind of comments you need to be making for every point. Also use as much media terminology as you can...represent, signify, denote, connote - you will get more marks for this.
