Editing Decision Activity
1. An innocent character is stalked by a werewolf - slow shots, getting faster as the werewolf get's closer - Slow editing at the start can show a sense of suspense and tension, but when it get's faster and faster it becomes more and more stressful and scary.
2. A character confesses their horrific crime to someone - slow shots as the man is confessing and fast shots as it shows the crime - as the man is trying to nervously say what he did it slowly zooms into his face when sudden quick shots of the murder are shown with very fast cuts.
3. Two teams compete in the finals of a street dance competition - slow shots - slow motion as one team is doing a big complicated ending move to create more drama.
4. A high speed car chase ends in tragedy - fast shots to slow shots- fast shots o the chase and when it crashes and explodes it has slower shots in medium slow motion.

Reading Images
#1: The shot used in this image is a close-up of a clip board. You're eye goes straight to the words 'DEPT. of RECORDS' as it is in one of the direct eye lines. The clip board is also leaning on an angle away from the camera making it more interesting.
#2: The shot used in this image is a medium long shot of a hall of workers. The leading shots lead on an angle from the front right corner, moving diagonally to the top left corner where a man is standing under a light.
#3: The shot is now a close-up of the man that was probably standing under the light. He is standing a little off the center more to the left on one of the leading lines.
