7. Cut to husband focusing on road, his stressed facial
expression signifies that the Husband has something
bothering him.(4 seconds)
8. Sarah and the daughter are conversing whilst Paul is
thinking about Juno and stressing. (6 seconds)
9. A short conversation between Sarah and Paul helps
solidify the idea of something not being completely fine
between them to the audience, the tension between
them. (4 second)
10. The first half of this sense is edited to be very
slow paced. This is to trick the audience into
feeling that they are safe. As it makes the scene
feel calm and laid back. This is to prepare the
audience to be unprepared for the second half
of the scene.
11. Car smashes into an oncoming van. Extremely fast cuts
instantly create an action packed scene. (less than a second)
12. Poles fly through the air towards the car. Very short cut.
Establishes a quicker editing pace that gives audience a
lot of confusing information (Fraction of a second)
13. Another quick cut. This is to hide the fact that the poles
that kill Paul in this shot are very bad examples of CGI
and that non of them actually hit Paul. (less than a
second)
14. Another quick cut showing Paul’s gory death. However this
shot isn’t very graphic. As the short and snappy shots
allow the audience to fill in the gaps in the gore.(Fraction
of a second)
15. Cuts to an establishing shot of the result of the crash. Editing pace is even
slower than at the start of the scene, The slowness shows that the action is
finished. A fade to black has been used to show that the narrative is
finished in this scene (20 seconds)
16. This second half of the scene has a much quicker
editing pace in order to shock the audience with
the sudden sharp change in pace. The faster
pace confuses the audience because they can
not fully take in everything that is happening in
every shot. This also makes it easier to create
the scene for the producers as the fast paced
cuts disguise any mistakes that are made. For
example the poles not piercing Paul.
17. CGI – Computer generated images
The poles that fly
through the air are
probably real in this
cut as nobody is in
the car. So health &
safety isn’t an issue.
Or they could be CGI
poles added after the
shot was taken.
These poles are CGI,
as it is dangerous to
have the real poles fly
into an actor. So they
added the poles in
with CGI after the
shot was taken.
18. Regular cuts are used for the majority in this
scene. However the last shot fades to black, to
represent the scene coming to its end. By not
showing the inside of the car after the accident,
the producers create the question of who's still
alive in the car.
19. The scene starts peacefully with slow editing
and. There is a comforting feel to scene as the
family has a conversation. Although when the
action begins, suddenly all of that changes and
the contrast is highly discomforting to the
audience.
