12B Editing Analysis HW Due 6/12/10

Watch the scene from The Untouchables at least 3 times (taking notes on the second and third viewings).

On your blog, write a definition for the word 'suspense'

Then write at least 500 words answering the following questions:

1. How is editing used to build suspense in the scene?
2. How is time 'expanded' through the use of editing as the pram falls down the steps?

Consider the effect of:
Long takes
Cuts to point of view shots
Fast cutting
cross cutting
