Editing task

Saturday night fever: This intro for this film is very iconic with the style of editing in the clip which expressed the views of the 70's and this is done from the editing of the film. Firstly, the editing is done with continuity editing which gives this a very good narrative to begin with its introduction a why i have chosen continuity editing is because they have logically placed the shots which made linked  each shot one after the other therefore we felt like as if we are following the life of the character in the film this is clearly noticed in the first shot with the shoes first we are greeted as the audience to the shoes in the store and immediately was followed to the main character showing his shoes off which is then linked with a medium close up of his shoes these jumps cuts help visualize his everything from the character within the world of the film. This is also a juxtaposition seeing the same thing at two contrasting positions.  

Most of the segments of this clip because of are paced on the speed of the song and how to the speed of his walk therefore they show his shoes and feet a which are moving in beat to the song and this helps build a relationship with the character which is a key thing in the narrative of the film as this is a main character/star of the film meaning they will want him on screen most of the time and that is why we get a opening scene at his point of view so the audience will get a idea of the character. A example of this is we get a jump cut to his literal point of view of him approaching the women which gave the audience a very big impacting view for his whole life. And this was all lead up from the shoes as after the shoes he then went to the clothing shop and put the deposit down for the shirt and this gave a  build up to the main shot of why he does all this which is for women and to look presentable for them and that is all down to the continuity editing of the clips which gave it a much more bigger effect on the audience.

Even though sound dose not come into editing it helped with its diegetic sound when the jump cut show a low angle shot of the main character and with the diegetic sound of the shoes tapping it gave the shot the purpose for him to express and show off his essence and they have done this by using the continuity editing of the main charter and his shoes which is the main shot that the music begins with and this juxtaposition was followed with a eye-line shot of the characters face and eyes and thus my point of continuity editing which shows all the links he has a massive in how he dresses; shoes , the shirt and the women and these all go hand in hand with each each other. As they have a connection which gave lead the overall answer of him being a man who will spend alot of money for women to preserved him in a sexual manner.

Finally, we also get a shot of him eating food which is a very odd cut and that is because we dont really get a any shots of him making money until the end an that has the audience wondering what he does for a living to afford all these lavish items like the clothes and shoes. Therefore we receive as the audience the shot of him running with the paint can and holding the paint can as that is his main source of income in fact that is why he went out to get the paint in the first place. Therefore all these shots helped build the individuals ethos. Shockingly this only just the opening scene of the film wich means the edit has a very massive impact on the whole ingenuity of the film which mean editors msut take everything into consideration before actually editing and that is why content is so effective from the way it is morphed.
