Editing and Film Styles

Looking at different types of editing and film styles:



Editing:
At the beginning of this trailer there is a voice over of characters talking showing a tape being recorded. This makes the scene or shot seem more realistic making it more intriguing. They have also used sentences to tell the audience what they are listening to. This type of editing has almost a documentary style to it. They've used slow and relaxing shots at the beginning to lure the audience in so that the shock of the different shot types have a greater impact on them.
As the trailer goes on the shots become much faster and the sound increases, this creates a chaotic atmosphere allowing the audience to feel an intensity of suspense.
This film cleverly makes something that seems so out of the ordinary so realistic. Allowing the audience to be entranced and lured into the film.

Editing:
In this trailer there is a lot of different editing used, such as fast moving shots, slow moving shots, computer editing and text.

At the beginning of the trailer the shots are quite slow which foreshadows the fast pace tension building shots. The audience are introduced straight after the slow shots to the main plot of the film. However, this doesn't ruin it for the audience instead it makes it more enticing. The music also enhances the tension and creates a more heavy atmosphere of horror.
