Editing analysis

Editing is used in a film to form and put together a scene, editing is used in every film without it it is impossible to create a movie that works, editing can also be used to draw emotions and make a person feel a certain way by the use of adding things to the film cuts
Batman vs Superman opening scene:

As soon as the scene starts the editor has played a very slow sad tone to show that the scene is sad it cuts to a shot of two coffins being taken to a burial sight and as the crowd of people walks the camera zooms out away from them showing the scene from a further distance giving a better view of things the editor uses seamless cuts showing different perspectives of whats going on without disturbing the shot this is throughout the intro from the film jumping from different times within the timeline as two scenes are occurring at the same time as the scene progresses there is an increase of jump/quick cuts and increase of music and music speed as the film starts to become more intense and fast paced showing the severity of the scenes and whats being felt. The scenes range from very action like running music with a saddened tone to the faint sound of a person passing with a slow melodic saddening music tone while still using quick cuts and cross cutting between two scenes to form a story that the audience understands creating continuity Batman vs Superman is filled with editing ranging from the long takes to quick cuts in the movie to add fluidity to the scenes as well as to the after affects editing which adds a whole other addition to the film creating objects and environment that wouldn't be there like the bats from this scene. This is why editing is key within film
