The Purpose Of Editing

Parrelle editing can help characters look like they are engaging in a conversation or similar narrative with the use of back to back cuts from characters doing similar antics e.g. the image above. 

 

Throughout Dredd they have used colour correction to highlight great use of colour. It’s used to make something that looks gritty look quite nice and pretty. Along with that it works with the books comic book styling. The whole of Sin City is edited black and white to give this sort of gritty feel to the film. It helps us understand the mood and feel throughout the film and to help us understand that the film wants to represent a gritty environment. The film Pulp Fiction is shot in a non linear way. Meaning the order of events do not correlate with how the story is actually meant to go. This technique is used to interest the audience and keep things lively. It also gives a new outlook on events compared to how we might of though about things if we’d of seen them in an original order.
