Editing for Discontinuity
-
Jump cuts are used to create a thrill, tension, and a sense of horror in zombie films.
-
These abrupt edits create an exepected julting effect in the audience
-
Jump cuts are very jarring and are used to disorient the audience and represent paranoia
-
Montages are intended to disorient by condensing space, time, and information.
-
They are very fast-paced in order to show the audience a great deal of what is happening in a short amount of time.
-
Montages are used to make the audience know, rather than make the audience feel.
-
Nondiegetic elements, specifically sound, are used to enhance the fear the audience feels within a scene that dialogue alone cannot achieve.
-
Typical nondiegetic sounds tend to be big bangs, eerie sounds, added footsteps, tensional music, orchestra, piano, contraptual sounds and stabs.
-
Other elements include voice over narration, subtitles, and on screen text.
