Editing

There are two different types of editing;


Speed of editing- How long each shot lasts.
Style of editing- How one shot is joint into another.


Source Code; trailer
The speed of editing within this trailer is very quick paced. This is used to draw in the auidience, the sence of action that these fast clips give off help the viewer to feel suspence and anxiety towards the trailer. The clips are also shortened and speeded up to try and fit as much of the storyline into the two minutes trailer as possible.


Source Code; First 2.5 minutes
The pace within these two and a half minutes is a lot slower than that of the trailer, this is to show the characters dazed, confused mood as he's coming round from unconciousness. The shots help the viewer to relate to the character and feel like they too are slightly dazed. The pace quickens in sections to show the characters ever growing confusion. The shots following are a mix between mid shots and POV shots, the POV shots are the fast paced ones and show how the character is reacting to his surroundings and his changing emotions.
