Editing: blog task There are some truly fantastic clips for the Editing part of the Film & TV Language unit.  Your final analytical blog task is to find a film or television clip on YouTube that you feel has been edited in a distinctive way and write a  750 word analysis  of the clip. Use as much media language as you can - and remember to  highlight it . Try and use the key words we've learned for editing if possible. You can also use  any other aspects of film language  that we have studied in your analysis - just like the in-class clips where we discuss how editing combines with cinematography, sound or mise-en-scene.

WWW: There was a good description of the video itself. There was good variety of shots and camera angles/ movement and the mise-en-scene (lighting, props, costume) all build up[ tension and suspense as well as enigma codes to emphasise the dark and mysterious narrative. The sound choice was also effective as it played well alon...
