YEAR 12 - Untouchables Editing Analysis




Watch the scene from The Untouchables at least 2 times (taking notes on the second viewings).

On your blog, write a definition for the word 'suspense'

Then answer the following questions:

  1. How is editing used to build suspense in the scene?
  2. How is time 'expanded' through the use of editing as the pram falls down the steps?
Consider the effect of:
Long takes
Cuts to point of view shots
Fast cutting
cross cutting
