Enemy of state

Analysing editing:

The aim of this sequence is to increase suspense  This is done by speeding up shots and also by the music used at certain times. They used fast paced music when the people are closing in on where the main characters are, this gives the audience a sense of urgency because they could be about to get caught. The shots speed up when the people are closing in on the main characters this almost makes the audience hold their breath because they cant see how they will escape from this.

The close up shots in this sequence are mainly used to show what is important to the scene and how they are being used at that time. The medium close up shot were used to show which characters are talking and who they are talking with.

 The editing helps with the genre of thriller because it used fast shots and uses different amount of time between each cut. So the time between cuts will become very small to increase tension and suspense which is part of the thriller genre.
