2. Editing Pace - Beginning
The start of the scene starts off slow as they are talking about a birthday
party and who they’re going to invite. Its trying to create the feeling of a
normal long family drive. The screen grabs below show there
conversation, there isn’t many different shots considering the scene lasts
29 seconds before the crash, this shows that the editing is very slow
paced. Doesn’t make the audience think anything is going to happen,
the scene is meant to establish normality.
3. Editing Pace – Car Crash
This part of the scene is very fast paced editing to make the scene seem
really sudden and immediate. Although the scene only lasts 3 seconds, it
has 6 different shots compared to the first scene which had 8 shots in 29
seconds. It shows how fast and sudden the car crash is and how
everything has happened so quickly.
4. Editing CGI – Car Crash
The CGI part of this scene is focused on the car crash, the first part of
CGI is the rods and sliding out the van, through the window. These rods
were edited in later and weren’t actually in the scene. The next part of
the scene is the rod going through the persons head and through the
chair. The blood that spews out from the head is also CGI and has also
been edited in to make the scene feel more real.
5. Ending Transaction
The transaction used to end the scene is a fade to black, this is used at
the end of a scene to show that time has passed onto the next part of
the scene. In this case 1 year has passed in the next scene so this
transaction is usually used to show time passing.
