Extra Editing Notes

Editing consists of the following: •Transition. •Order of narrative •Pace Strangers on a train: (Notes) -Cross cutting -Parallel editing -Don't actually establish who the characters are at first -See feet -1:23 mins in see characters -Doesn't give everything away at once. - 2 Dissolves -narrative: All in order (chronological)- People walking to station- Jumps, don't see them get on train- see them walking, sitting on train. -2 things are happening at the same time/shot Summary: In the opening sequence of strangers on a train we see fast, up beat cuts and parallel editing. We don't establish who the characters actually are or even what they look like until around 1:23 mins into the clip, all we see before this is their feet walking through the station. The clip doesn't give away much until the end, making us think of idea of what the character might look like. The narrative is all in order, we see the shots of the two main characters feet (of which we think is a man and a woman) walking through the station, then it jumps and we don't see them again until they get on the train, then we see them sitting in their seats and we catch a glimpse of what they look like for the first time.
