Section A

2. Editing
» Read through this article – what
does it say the meanings behind the
editing

3. The beginning
» Reinforces the restless style characteristic
of the film
» Should start with an establishing shot,
instead a series of close up’s – knife,
hand, stone
» Cut to black in between
» Another photographic flash illuminates
Rocket with his camera and zooms out
from a network of bars, which collapses
down to his images

4. Rocket – messages?

5. » Introduced as a key character (only
a fragment)
» Flash forward from end – denied
seeing Lil’ Ze
» Montage of conflicting shots/fast
paced editing now gives
spectacular circling shots which
morph Rocket into a young man in
his former days – low rise shacks and
open spaces

6. What’s the difference?
60s 70s
