The document describes the editing techniques used in a scene depicting a car crash. It analyzes 8 cuts or shots in the sequence. The first few cuts establish the relationships between the family members in the car and build a sense of normalcy and safety. The cuts focus on conversations and the stressed father driving. The pace is slow to increase the shock of the later, faster cuts showing the intense crash impact and the father's quick death. The final cut slows again to show the traumatic aftermath.

2. Cut 1
• The First shot shows the family in the car, then cuts of to scene 2
where it shows the mother and daughter having a conversation.
This shows us the relationship between the two.

3. Cut 2
• In this shot we still see a continue of the conversation
happening between the mother and daughter. The
pace between each cuts are still slow, this makes the
crash at that the end surprising.

4. Cut 3
• The editing pace is still slow, we spend lots of time looking at the
father who is driving the car as we can tell he is not in a good mood
as everyone else in the car indicating some tension between the
two parents as the camera is focused on him for so long.

5. Cut 4
• This scene is still pretty slow, but the car crash scene is very near.
The last cut is long and makes the car crash a bigger shock. The slow
pace of scenes gives of sense of normality and make us feel safe
and apart of the family and feel secure and that makes the crash
even more unexpected and shocking.

6. Cut 5
• This is the last long cut in the sequence before the car
crash before the pace becomes more faster.

7. Cut 6
This cut scene shows the intense impact between the two cars showing the
vans equipment pierces the car and breaking the wind shield.

8. Cut 7
• This scene is very fast as it kills the father in a
matter of seconds. This scene is the fastest one.

9. Cut 8
• This scene shows the aftermath of what's
happened and is a very slow scene.
