Evaluation - Playing With Time
This is an evaluation about the film 'Playing With Time'. In this evaluation, i'll be explaining about the editing used in this film, and detailed examples from the film using the terminology that i've learn today in the lesson.
It first starts of with a woman by herself, alone and defenceless. But the shot used for this is a face shot to show us as a viewer to see how she's feeling. After, the next shot used is a cutaway shot of the water. This shot shows makes us feel like we're in the water. There was alot more shots used, but none of them had a huge impact to the film.
Later in the film, there was non diagetic sound, giving us a suspenseful feeling. Making us feel how the woman, who's alone feels. But the thing that i really obtained about the whole sequence was that, there is alot of more things to learn.
