Editing task

THE GODFATHER

The start of this scene fades in from black to the setting, this is done to highlight a new event or day is taking place. In this scene mainly cuts were used as 2 people were speaking, this was to show each character speak from and over the shoulder shot. There’s a jump cut through this scene when the two men are shot at the table, this is done so the audience can focus on this quickly. This allows the audience to see what is happening being a surprise/shock inclining them to pay attention. The cut to the bathroom is done to show a change of setting and the events that are going to take place in there. The lack of editing is done at this bit to show Michael looking for the gun that was planted for him. This is to show him searching for the weapon which is going to be used to kill the characters at the table. This is also done so the audience grow attached to Michael keeping them focused on what is going to happen and what he’s looking for. The cuts are used whilst Michael is in the bathroom to show what the other characters are doing at the table showing all the characters. The end of this scene fades out to black indicating that the scene is over or the end of the day. The pace of the editing is of normal speed as Michael and Sollozo are having a conversation at the table. The conversation is naturally flowing and each character says what they need to, which is the reason for the editing to be at this pace to create a realist feel about it. The cut scenes speed up when Michael pulls the trigger it cuts to the character that’s being shot then cuts back to Michael holding the gun. There is an eyeline match when Michael is talking to Sollozo at the start of the scene before speaking. This is also done again when Michael comes out of the toilet and both characters at the table looking back at him to see what he’s doing. This creates an image for the audience that both characters think something may happen to them and are being cautious by keeping an eye out on Michael.

Cinematography

The Conjuring

The shorts that have been used in this clip are mainly close ups due to the genre being horror and part of the genre is to identify when a character is frightened. The close ups are used on the female to show she is the main character in scene and for us to develop a connection with her as most of the screen time is on her. Another key close up is of the doll which is done to enable the audience what caused the females to be afraid. There are also close ups of the charters who enter the house which talk to the female about the demonic possession which also signifies that they play a huge role in this scene. The camera moved according to who was speaking, the camera would instantly move closer of further away depending on who was speaking and what was said. Each shot had all characters in when speaking to one another. The camera would zoom out of someone's face to see the reaction that's been placed on their face. The hero's in this scene (male and female who enter later on) are shot from the side view to capture both of the whilst one another are speaking, the camera slightly tilts when changing character. The 3 others who are sitting on the opposite sofa are always shot from a long shot to capture all of them in the scene. There is a point of view shot from one of the characters when there was banging noise and someone was opening the door. The camera angle was higher when all characters were talking and it focused on the 3 sitting on the sofa, this is to identify that they're weaker and vulnerable compared to everyone else. 

Sound task

INSIDIOUS 
The music used in this scene of the film is non-diegetic, only the audience can hear the music and not the characters in the film. The music at the start is contrapuntal to the scene of the film as the child is sleeping and the atmosphere in the house is tranquil, this is different to the music as it is more sinister. The music then changes but is still parallel as a women is at the door of the house with a sinister look that's present on her face. The music changes the atmosphere from being tranquil is disturbed by the presence of the women and the build of tension through the music. The genre of the film being horror synergies with the music that speeds up and creates tension. The sound bridge used is after the images of the house were shown to introduce the main characters while they were both sleeping and the female protagonist just woke up
