This clip is from the film 'Mad Max Fury Road' and includes a great example of editing as the way the clip has been edited has an impacted effect on the audience. The editing combines a range of different shots put next to each other to depict scenes of chaos and action. The sound throughout this clip is diegetic as it can be heard by both the characters and the audience. The beginning of this clip opens with a close up of a vehicle part, then followed by a medium close up tracking shot of the characters inside it - these beginning shots help to establish place and main characters in order for the audience to make sense of what is happening. Followed by this we are shown a low angle long shot of another vehicle which transitions to a medium close up of another character who we recognise as being opposition/ the villain as he is shown to be chasing the first vehicle - the mise en scene of this character reinforces the idea that he is a villain. From this point on wards in the clip the editor has included many tracking shots in order to follow events in the perspective of the characters - this allows the audience to follow the action through the vision of the characters making the experience of watching the clip more intense, emphasising the action and chaos for the audience. Throughout this clip we often see the use of long shots and medium close ups - the use of long shots helps to establish the setting and shows the action from a wider/outsider perspective compared to the medium close ups which help the audience to identify character emotion and see the action from their perspective. In this clip we also see the use of whip pans to show the fast paced action between oppositions which creates realism as it depicts the speed at which the characters would be responding and reacting to the conflict - it is almost as if the audience is following the characters movements. This clip is an example of continuity editing as each shot follows the previous in order for the audience to follow the narrative and action in the scene. This helps the audience to establish scene and narrative as continuity editing allows the audience to automatically make sense of one shot joining the next one. This film clip uses a lot of match on action to show the chaotic chase from all perspectives - this shows the audience the different views and angles from different character's perspectives, The use of match on action also shows the chaotic vehicle stunts from different views to emphasise the action and show how severe and intense the situation is. This clip also uses shot reverse shot to depict the conflict between opposing characters and to show the action between both sides. During the shooting scenes within this clip the editor has used shot reverse shot to show the success of one side of opposition and the downfall of the other. The clip successfully uses the editing feature of shot reverse shot as it follows the 180 degree rule in order to not confuse the audience - it helps to follow the action in a controlled order. This clip's editing and transitions from one shot to another has been done at a fast pace in order to present the scene as being chaotic and action packed - as well as this the creation of fast pace contributes to the build up of tense emotion in this scene. The transitions used in this clip are straight cuts which build up shot after shot at a fast pace. Using sharp straight cuts for this clip is effective as it is continuously following the action at a fast pace which helps to clearly depict the mayhem and conflict in this scene between the two opposition parties - it also builds up adrenaline for audiences. The fast paced straight cuts also reflect the characters quick thinking and reacting, adding the feeling of urgency to their actions and the current conflict.
