Decent- Car crash editing

Bradley Harvey

Pacing- First half

• At the beginning of the scene when Sarah is talking to Jessica and then talking to Paul the cuts are slow. The first couple of shots last about 3 seconds and then the shots involving Paul last between 5 to 8 seconds.

Pacing- Second half

• During the car crash the pacing of shots increases in speed so now each shot only lasts less than a second. The last shot of the car and van is the longest shot in the scene and a crane is used to create the shot. After that the scene ends with a fade to black transition.

Effects• Practical effects are used for when the car and van crash

together as well as the first two shots where the pipes fly through the window.

• After this CGI is used to create the pipes when we see them go through the window from the inside of cars perspective, this is to insure the safety of the actors involved.

Effects part 2• The final practical effect in the scene is used when the

pipe goes through Pauls head and through the chair. They use a blood pack to insure the safety of the actor.

Transition

• A slow fade to black transition is used at the end of the scene after the cars have finally collided. This helps to create the effect that time is about to pass.
