Editing blog task

In the begin of the clip '21 jump street' it starts of with an establishing shot of the school then changes when the the transition moves to focus on what is happening inside the school. A reverse shot is taken place to show the strong chemistry between the two main characters. The sequence draws the audience's attention straight to the two boys using a quick over the shoulder transition between their conversation. This allows the audience to have a firm idea who the protagonists are and who needs to be sympathised when hurt or in danger. Later on in the clip, the editor uses wipe effect from one shot to another to emphasis their history and bond they have created through past experiences. The first 20 seconds of the clip demonstrates a flashback of their memories together at school, this will force the audience to generate vicarious pleasure when watching the clip since friendship and loyalty is shown to their man strive to success. The audience will be intrigued by their past life and relationship and eventually show emotional attraction towards them. The clip moves on from them arguing to a match on action scene of them two wrestling. The smooth and perfect shot movement from two clips convey clever editing skills as two emotions are exhibited when a long shot changes two median/close up. This quickly generates another emotion from getting slammed to showing the facial expressions of the person feeling the outcome of the action.

In addition, at 0:42, there is a long shot of two gang members creating a very negative atmosphere, then shifts to a close up of them holding a cigar. The editor significantly uses dip to black continuous amount of times to create fast pace editing while shots being taken from a low angle. The low angle connotes the character being intimidating and overpowering; the fast pace editing emphasises their superiority over the thugs and depicts that the two men in police uniform oppress any crime breaking the laws of society. Furthermore, the scene located at 1:07 demonstrates a point of view shot shifting from one perspective to another. This fast pace dialogue creates tension and foreshadows a terrible moment where this undercover work they are undergoing is going to end up horribly wrong. This informs the audience that mistakes in this mission will lead to many action codes. This leads on to them preparing for the mission therefore the editor uses jump cuts as soon as one reloads one gun to another at 2:37. This portrays their immense power they now control after being in possession with heavy rifles. The quick jump cuts reinforces their body language as they are starting to become more mature with what the scenario has escalated to.

Moreover, at 2:46 , the action scenes become very intense which is advocated with very fast pace editing. The action scenes then lead to a jump cut to something really loud and explicit. This is shown through match on action where a plate is smashed on a person's head resulting him to fall on the floor. The fast pace editing with all those variety of shots build tension towards the audience then ends the intensity with a huge bang. This will leave the audience with shock and confusion since the audience weren't told the reason for the action therefore, will create enigma codes that the audience will need to resort to by watching the whole movie to find out. Later on in the clip, at 2:55, there's an establishing shot taken place to get everyone's reaction towards the situation. The editor cleverly shows the damaged caused by the violence on the main character however, cuts the shot whenever the character speaks. This builds suspense since audiences are waiting to find out 'what hes feeling' or is 'he going to faint' but the scene shows binary opposition due to the explicit scene being shown and the happy atmosphere being projected when everyone starts jumping.
