Editing is a main factor in TV dramas as it helps portray
characters emotions and expressions on their faces. The type of scene it is
(relaxed, tense, aggressive) depends on how the scene is edited.
In this scene a boy is portrayed as a character that has
mental issues and comes across as someone who is dangerous. The clip is very
tense; the immediate cuts to each characters face emphasises the stress the
girls are feeling and helps the audience connect with them a sympathies with
them as they are in a horrible position. When the girls try to take the gun
away from the boy the editor produces really quick, choppy shots which helps
portray mayhem. The many shots of them trying to get the gun also gives the
audience time to question if they will be able to get the gun of the boy.
Most of the shots are CU shots which help symbolize the
emotion on the characters face, and this really helps the audience see the
tears on the peoples face. The ECU of the boy after he shoots Maxine highlights
the boy’s confusion on what he has done; this shot also helps add to the
thought of the boy being mentally ill.
