Editing Task


As you can see, the scene that I have picked is from The Dark Knight Rises, where Batman and bane had their first ever battle. I have picked this particular scene because it shows a lot of different things happening at the same time which I will get onto below.


In this scene the excessive use of straight cut away throughout the extract highlights the build-up of tension. This is revelled when a cut away is employed at the start of the fight in order to give the audience the impression that an explosive tense fight will take place due to the employment of action codes for example when the charge by batman towards bane. As the fight becomes more and more intense there’s a more frequent jump shot to a close up of Cat Women. This close cup could have been utilised to emphasise her on edge facial expression. Applying Propp character theory, Batman is of course the main protagonist and the hero as he is trying to defeat evil. The diegetic sound of the rain whilst the fight is taking place creates a scene of emotion, uncertainty, pressure and perhaps evil prevailing.
