Chapter 4: Editing

In this movie, there was fast passed scences where quick cutting was neccisery, and not to mention our cultures short attention span gets bored with anything less. So the scenes where the movie has a high intensity, there are many more cuts. There are very few scense where the shots are lengthy, the only time you see this is at the beginning and the middle of the film where the camera is directly on Clive Owen were he is talking for a lengthened time. Or in the interigation room where the camera shots might be on one persons face for a ten second period at the max. Particularly in this film as I mention before, in scenes of high intesity there is going to be more cuts to make it more chaotic and less cut and dry. How does your mind work when your stressed and thinking about a million things you have to do that day? It's all over the place, film is no different.
