The document summarizes the editing techniques used in a shocking scene from a movie. It describes how the first half of the scene is edited very slowly to lull the audience into a false sense of security, while the second half has a much faster pace to shock the audience with the contrast. This rapid editing makes it difficult for the audience to fully comprehend what is happening and helps mask any visual imperfections. The scene starts calmly but then the pace quickens, obscuring details and distressing the audience through the great contrast in editing styles.

10.  Opening half of this sense is edited at a very slow pace
lulling the audience into a false sense of security. It
makes the scene feel serene, calm and natural. Like
nothing could go wrong. It makes the second half of
the scene even more shocking

16. This second half of the scene has a immensely quicker editing
pace to shock the audience with the contrast in pace. The
faster pace disorientates the audience because they can not
fully take in everything that is going on in every shot. This
also makes it easier to create the scene for the movie makers
because it does not have to look visually perfect because is
only flashed on the screen very quickly e.g. There is a shot
where a pole is sticking out of the back of Paul's chair but not
the front.

17. The poles that fly through the air are probably real in this
cut flying into the car with nobody in there for health &
safety reasons.
These poles are most likely CGI’d in as it is impractical to
have the real poles fly into an actor. They probably cut
the chairs and Paul from another shot and imposed
them into a shot of the poles flying through the car
This is most likely a pole flying through the back of
the headrest bursting a blood pack and flinging a fake
tuft of hair over the top of the seat

18.  Regular cuts are used for the majority of the scene but
the very last shot fades to black signifying the scene
has come to an end. Everything that just happened is
over but it also leaves the audience unsure as to how
many people in the car had been killed/injured.

19.  The scene starts so calmly with a very slow editing pace
and establishes that Sarah has a close bond with her
daughter. There is a warmness to scene as it is just a
nice family conversation. The family tranquility is
snatched away as the swift pace quick's in very little
can be clearly distinguished and the audience have to
fill in some of the blanks themselves. The great
contrast is highly distressing to the audience.
