Shots are selected and edited together so they flow into a sequence. Editing is used for many reasons, like placing in CGI (Computer-generated imagery), or placing two separate scenes in to one big action scene, doing this can build atmosphere, emphasize at moment in the film, bring a new element to the film or just bridge one part of the film to another. An example of CGI would be King Kong. The reasoning for doing this is to let the viewer perceive what the director wanted them to view, in turn this also makes the viewer think about what they are seeing and provoke emotions from the audience.Another form of editing is time and sound editing, for example slowing down a scene can add effect and also let the audience take in the full scene, again this also emphasize and builds atmosphere at a point in the film or a change of mood e.g. like in any cliché romantic film you will have the slow motion run, this normally occurs after feelings have changed for a person and they want the other person to know. Slowing down the time of a scene gives the audience time to think about what will happen. Slowing down and speeding up scenes can also have a different effect depending on the genre of film. If you wanted to have a scary film, which creates a lot of tension and suspense you would have lots a slow shots. However having slow shots means that you can have more to create the tension and time which will build up the suspense for the next scene where everything comes together and falls into place.Wednesday 7 October 2009
