Editing (the descent)

Editing

Harry Watton

This shows the car driving away towards home

This shot is a close 2 shot at the start of the video where the woman is talking to the child. It is also showing that the mother is much closer to the child. It also gives the feeling of a normal day and nothing is going to happen.

This then cuts to the whole family in the car in a mid shot. It also shows that the mother is closer to the girl than the male.

It then cuts to a close shot from behind of the man and woman talking from the perspective of the child

This shot shows the van coming and you can tell something is going to happen but the man and woman are unaware of the van ahead

The shot then cuts to the initial collision of the car and the van. The speed picks up from this moment with lots of shots in a short space of time

This is when the poles first going into the windscreen.

This shows there is a error in editing because there is a pole going out the back of the chair but nothing actually going in the front. We also know that this is going to kill him before it actually happens. This also shows how the poles have been cut in afterwards because the bad timing of the blood coming out the back of the chair.

This is the insides of the mans head going through the back of the chair with the poles. This shows that the man is dead. This is a close up of the action. This is also CGI and we see the fake blood coming from the mans head.

The is after the crash when the speed slows down again and slowly zooms out so you can see the whole wreckage. This is a crane shot zooming out to get a wider view of the collision aftermath.

This is a crane shot at the end covering what happened and showing the wreckage from above

CGI

The CGI in this video are done poorly at times because we see how the poles are fake and how the poles coming out the back of the chair do not match those in front of the chair.

Editing Pace

The editing pace changes through the video, at the start where the people in the car are just talking it is going at a normal pace and everything is calm. Then once the collision starts everything speeds up so the shots can look more realistic to hide the CGI.
