Evidence of Editing: The King of Staten Island (2020) – Tattooing a Child Scene
What about editing language understanding did you notice?
I noticed L and J cuts while the kid was getting the tattoo.
I noticed there was a lot of emotion shown as the scene was appearing.
I noticed there was a lot of rhythm involved in order to make the cuts make sense and flow well.
What did you like about the film clip?
I liked how the cuts very very quick and not noticeable in order to make the clip appear smoother.
I like how the last cut shows one of the guys as a close up saying he doesn’t want to be friends with them anymore.
What question do you have from what you saw?
What other techniques were used in order to make the cuts flow smoothly?
What I learned from this week’s exercise is I am now able to watch a clip from a film and notice what went into editing choices and how they make the film flow.
