We can clearly see how editing is used in this programme. I evaluated episode one and found multiple ways of which this was effective. For example near the beginning we see that PC Ryan Draper is trying to break up a fight. I notice that as he tries to pull his arm off one of the stag do members the editor has slowed it down and you spend more time to really focus on whats happening. At the same place the nudist ends up hitting the viking hat off of one of the stag do members and as the hat gets pulled to Earth the slow motion engages.
Crosscutting is also show near the beginning, as PC Ryan Draper starts to get involved the camera carry's on cutting back to Chief Super Robert Vickers. This was very clever of the editor as it showed the calm and sophisticated climate in which Chief Super Robert VIckers was in, then panning back to the rough uncomftable and violent loaction that PC Ryan Draper was trying to sort out.
Finally another example of this was when PC Donna Prager, PC Lino Moretti, PC Ryan Draper and PC Jake Vickers where working out in some sort of garage and then the editor used a transition that dissolved one scene into the other making it feel like a lot of time has gone by. This was a great effect and would like to use this one day.

ReplyDelete1. Cut the two first sentences which are general not specific.
2. You identify slomo correctly. Add that it is helpful in drawing the audience's attention to what is a rapid movement, so that we can see who is responsible for escalating the violence. It also shows that both the naturists and the revelers contribute to the affray and are both to blame.
3. You understand the cross cutting but need to draw attention to the effect. Explain that the cross cutting juxtaposes the ideal and the actual in a way that creates comedy an irony. (Your English is faulty in several ways in your second point, so always proof read).
4. You identify the cross dissolve but do not develop the whole point enough. EAA needs amplifying: it shows how hard and long they train. In particular, which officers keep going whilst the others flag, showing who has the most determination and stamina. The event itself also shows their teamwork, with Jake invited and accepted for the first time as an equal, as he did well tackling the previous crime.
