One example of editing in chapter 5 is when the detective is trying to get the young boy, the witness, to speak but wont so she asks to go out of the room to go talk to the other detective to be allowed to do her job and ask the boy questions even though she isn't allowed to. this leaves the witness and the family in distraught and sadness while listening in the detectives talking. This gives a point of view from both the detectives and witnesses side.
Another example of editing is when it crosscuts location from the detectives talking to a man complaining about the incident that happened in his shop to then the police officers, PC Ryan and PC Jake Vickers driving waiting for a call from there colleagues
The last example of editing in chapter 5 is when it crosscuts from PC Ryan and PC Jake Vickers getting a call from other police officers saying they need backup, to then changing to the other police officers chasing the robber.
Mark 7/10 Lawrence's question:
ReplyDeleteChapter 5 how is editing used to create meanings? Find at least three examples.
1 good point which you don't entirely make as you need to state 'this is an example of hard cuts / straight cuts that show the different stages in Jo's interrogation of the witness".
Second point is not cross-cutting but simply a hard cut (a straight cut) from one part of the narrative to the next. You find it hard to write about meaning here.
1 good point about cross-cutting from Ryan and Jake to the other police officers asking for help.
