We got given a sheet on editing and the different techniques which helped me gain further understanding of it. We then used the sheet to analyse an extract from doctor who.
In the film I noticed the use of; eyeline match, shot reverse shot, motivation and prevelance
-The eyeline match was used in this extract to show respect and equality for Martha's loved ones, but also shows the vulnerability of Martha and everyone she loves aswell as they are in the same situation.
-The shot reverse shot was used with high angles and low angles, to reinforce Martha's vulnerability as a woman and how the man is in a position of authority.
-The fade in/fade out flashback was used to represent two young woman and their equality, the sound included helped signify to the viewer that she was having a flashback.
-The motivation was used for Martha, she motivates cuts and is the reason for them, implying she is the protagonist and maybe even females importance.
-The prevelance (screen time) was used to indicate to the viewer the protagonists and characters of importance. Martha and the man in charge get the most screen time, therefore it denotes that they're the protagonists.
Learning this has also helped me with my research as I have to analyse opening title sequences, and with my essay writing because I can now confidently include editing.
