'As technology progresses more forms of video editing are being introduced\r'

'As technology progresses much forms of video editing ar being introduced, with this comes the easier and more(prenominal) intelligent trend of creating hesitancy during a film, or for sections and events in a film or on Television. thither argon a emergence of factors that put to work the vogue in which suspense is framed, these argon, tv camera fishs & adenine; shooters, clayey, lighting and finally editing. All of these factors combined induce a rattling professional and effective way of suspense being build up. Camera angles & international ampere; shots are effective on their own as well as being hindquartersed up by sound and lighting.\r\nThere are many forms of camera angles that are utilize for different events, for example, a Long Shot (LS) would not be used to show the emotion of some sensation, to show the emotion and consider an effective sequence an Extreme Close-Up (ECU) would be used. The similar goes for when a high authority figure is being po rtrayed. To make someone look powerful a Low Angle Shot (looking upwards at the object) would be used to create a jot that the peach is piddlinger and less powerful that the object that is being portrayed. Sound is used as a form of backing device, which basically supports the camera.\r\nThere are 4 types of sound, Dialogue, sound effects, ambient sounds and Non-diegetic sounds (especially music). Lighting does more than ‘lighting up and area, lighting is referred to in devil manors, Realist light and Expressive light. Realist light is used to replicate reality, it has worked if you havent noticed it being used, and Expressive Lighting is to present the mood or affect our view of a character or an incident. There are lead main points of light, Key light, fill light and back light. Key if the main light source on set, Fill removes shadows and Back defines figures outline.\r\nFinally thither comes editing, at that place are ii main forms of film editing, they are called Continuity Editing and MTV Styles Editing. Features of continuity editing are the 180 and 30-degree rule, shot/reverse shot for communion and match cutting. Features of MTV Style Editing are side-steps traditional narrative, more concerned with establishing mood or feeling. There are a few reasons why wad distinguish surrounded by the two types of editing, it helps focus oversight on the editing process and also opens up helpful ways of looking at unforesightful forms like adverts and music video.\r\nThe Untouchables was set in the stratum 1930, and America pays heavy price for its experiment with Prohibition. Illegal, as yet lucrative business of bootlegging made Al Capone (played by Robert de Niro) the undisputed leader of the Chicago infernal region and most powerful man in the city. However, disdain his public businessman personality, Capone keeps his supremacy by stern violence, not caring around the lives of innocent people. later on a small girl died in one of su ch incidents. The Federal Government decided to crack the violence by creating a special projection force.\r\nThe force was led by Eliot Ness (played by Kevin Costner). His de however raid on Capones warehouse ends up as an embarrassing fiasco, and Ness now knows that he great dealt rely on notoriously corrupt local anesthetic police. The rare exception among Chicago cops is old Malone (played by Sean Connery), who lost his career because of his honesty. Ness gets the idea to create a new unit of few, yet undefended and reliable lawmen that would battle Capones all-powerful organisation. He and Malone recruited two more men †Treasury accountant Oscar Wallace (played by\r\nCharles Martin Smith) and Chicago rookie policeman George Stone (Andy Garcia) †and they started striking Capones operations hard, earning the nickname ‘The Untouchables by the press that were hobby them as they started crushing Capone. The arouse in which I am examining for the build up of su spense is the leave- victorious of the film where Eliot Ness and his better half are time lag at the train stead for ‘The Bookkeeper. Eliot Ness and his cooperator (both being police officers) do at stately Central Station at five minutes to midnight to intercept the departure of ‘The Bookkeeper who is due to travel on the five past twelve train to Miami.\r\nAs the police officers incorporate up their ‘ambush positions the beginning of the suspense sequence begins. By this I mean that with them taking up their positions it in a way makes the viewer think, ‘hey, whats going to happen here? ‘ As the officers pick up up their positions the sound of footsteps is amplified (made louder and more noticeable) than that of the normal sounds in spite of appearance a train station. There is also the sound of a large group of people speech production and having a general chitchat. The camera movement in the midst of these separate events is frequent ye t timed in a way to keep the viewers thought in motion.\r\nThere are a number of low angle shots, which cause the detectives to look unguarded as if they are in danger. As a sustain and her cosset enter the shot, wanting to go up the stairs with a big go-cart and suitcase. The yield is struggling to move all on her own. Elliot Ness breaks the m different struggling, and knows that if she doesnt get out of on that point soon she is danger of being shot. Once the mother and tyke enter a lullaby starts compete in the background, as if to exaggerate the innocence of the bollocks and its mother. All of the camera shots of the mother and pander are from a birds eye perspective.\r\nAs the mother starts to take the perambulator and suitcase up the stairs, the baby starts crying. As the mother tries to stop the baby crying the camera climbs in a rapid motion between the baby, Elliot Ness and the clock. The clock is viewing the time of about two minutes to twelve. You see the m other and baby from Elliots point of view (from his line of sight), which shows the mother and baby not only to be innocent but very vulnerable to the violence that is very equiprobable to happen within the next three to 4 minutes.\r\nAt this point thither is a goodly amount of suspense that has been built up with the camera constantly flickering between a baffled baby, a struggling mother, a detective self-possessed to shoot people and a clock showing how very little time there is until the gangsters father with The Bookkeeper. At this point Elliot, as a innate(p) reaction to help the mother, leaves his ‘ambush position and runs down the stairs to help the mother take the baby up the stairs. As he runs towards her he hides his particle accelerator so not to alarm her that something dreadful is about to happen.\r\nAs he goes to help the viewer feels a small sense of relief that the mother and baby are going to fine and unharmed yet there is still the possibility that t he gangsters are about to arrive at any minute. As Elliot starts helping the mother orchestral yet dramatic music begins on with the sound of a train. When Elliot is about half way up the stairs the dramatic music becomes louder as he moolah. As a man enters the station and stands at the door, there is a high angle shot on Elliot, camera focuses on Elliot and the baby and then the people entering the station.\r\nThen a man with a strap on his honker enters the station and stands there smiling. At this point very dramatic music starts playing and the lullaby stops; the camera zooms in for an extreme close up of the gangsters eyes and Elliots face. Elliot draws his gun and shoots this man, as Elliot shoots him he lets go of the pram and the baby and pram start move down the stairs. There is then lots of pip and gunshots stand out over all other sounds.\r\nThe picture starts moving in slow motion, you can hear the prams wheels creaking as the pram starts drop down the stairs whic h is the shot twice. You then see the mother screaming but cant hear her. Elliot and his accomplice shoot and kill all the gangsters and keep the Bookkeeper awake(p). Elliots retainer then runs across and throws up a gun to Elliot, as Elliots shotgun was empty, as his partner dives and saves the babys pram Elliot shoots the last gangster. It is still unknown whether the baby is alive or not.\r\nAs Elliots partner saves the pram and nut house is restored to normality the lullaby starts again indicating that the baby is ok and then you see a camera shot of the baby. The sequence between the gangster entering and Elliots partner saving the babies pram is the climax of the suspense that has been built up by all of the cameras jumping. During this sequence of scenes there has been alot of MTV Style editing that has taken place. This is because of all the jump cuts that have been used between each picture. A study of how suspense is used in an extract from the film ‘The untoucha bles\r\n'
