Editing


Iron Man

This clip is made using continuity editing. The scene starts with a medium shot of a boy and it then straight cuts to his dad and then to an eyeline view from the dads perspective of iron man approaching, this is an example of juxtaposition. After this it straight cuts to iron man attacking the villains, it continuously straight cuts to shots of iron man firing at he villains for the next 10 seconds but then moves to an eyeline view from iron mans perspective which in cinematography is also seen as a point-of-view shot. The eyeline view is a wide shot of hostages with heads pointed to their heads, the scene then straight cuts to a medium sot of iron man and then to a wide shot once again however this time the shot is taken from behind iron mans hand which cold also be seen as a over-the-shoulder shot. Then there is a straight cut to a close-up of iron man which then straight cuts to an eyeline view once again. Following on from that there is another over-the-shoulder shot. Then there is a straight cut to the hostages and then there is an example of a tilt. The camera then follows one of the hostages running to his dad.  The camera stays on the medium shot of the father and son hugging however you can hear diegetic sound of iron mans footsteps while he kid is following him with his eyes. The scene then jump cuts to a medium shot one of the villains hiding behind a wall. The scene then straight cuts from the villain to a phone and back to a close-up of his face however the scene then jump cuts to iron man dragging the man out of the wall by breaking it which then dissolves into a shot of the man landing on the floor. The scene straight cuts to iron man flying of and then theres a jump cut to him flying in the sky which then straight cuts to an eyeline view of some rocks and back to a close-up of iron man but then he is suddenly hit by a grenade which straight cuts to an establishing shot of him falling down. The scene then straight cuts back and forth from a medium close up of iron man to a establishing/eyeline view of a tank which then explodes. This follows onto a wide shot of iron man flying up followed by a eyeline view from iron mans perspective of a establishing shot of a man firing at him. The scene continues to iron man firing at the man which then jump cuts to a wide shot of a truck of men who heard the explosion which then jump cuts back to the explosion and there is a wide shot of iron man flying out. The scene ends with a establishing shot and a tilt of iron man flying out. The pace of the scene goes back and forth between being fast and slow. Majority of the scene is fast paced as the clip involves action and explosions however there are some slow paced scenes when the families unite or when iron man is walking or planning an attack.

Cinematography


The scene opens with a long shot of the protagonists back, it then zooms into a medium close up shot which then becomes a over the shoulder shot of the protagonist looking at the other characters that are approaching. It then jump cuts to a medium shot of the protagonist and back to another medium shot of the other characters. Furthermore, there is a eye-line view of the a man lying unconscious on the floor, which is another medium shot. It then continuously jump cuts back and forth from the protagonist to the other women but the camera then slowly zooms into a close up of the women. After that there is a long shot of the other characters trying to break into the room which then leads to a violent act of fighting. The shots then once again go back and forth between medium shots and medium close up shots. Additionally, there is a long shot of the women which zooms into a extreme close up of her eye. The rest of the scene is jump cuts from long shots to medium shots while the girls are fighting. In addition to that, there is a panning shot of the women walking. The scene ends with medium/medium close up shots and long shots while the characters are fighting.

Sound Analysis 



22 Jump Street


The scene starts of with diegetic sound which involves the two characters having a conversation however 10 seconds into the clip and music starts playing in the background while one of the characters is still talking, this is an example of non-diegetic sound because the characters can not hear it. Additionally, the music played here is parallel to the scene because the character is doing a motivational speech and the music played seems encouraging and fits in well. Furthermore, the music then stops and there is a  video of a man talking on an iPad, this would be another example of diegetic sound since the characters can hear the sound because the iPad is visible in the scene. In addition to that, after the man on the iPad stops talking there is a quick 5 second sound of dramatic music played which is non-diegetic- this sound is parallel because the characters are going on a mission therefore the music played complements the scene. On the other hand, there is a song played which is non-diegetic sound since the characters cannot hear it and this song is also contrapuntal because the characters are holding guns therefore the song played isn't complementing the scene and what the characters are doing. Finally, there is no sign of a sound bridge.
