Keywords: Costume Lighting Actor (placement and movement) Make-up Props Setting Kingsman: The costume the people are wearing are all old style christian texas clothing except for the main actor with the gun who is wearing a suit. The lighting is ambient and uses natural light instead of artificial light that is usually a whiter colour. The actor is in front of the woman with a gun in his hand and pointing it at her face, the people in the back are intimidated and some are scared, they all look like they are going to attack the man in the suit (you can tell by their facial expression).

A jump cut – an unexpected edit where the audience’s attention is forced to focus on something very suddenly.   Pace The speed at which the film cuts from one shot to

Learner respone: From Mr Halsey Moa: No SRS: No 180 °: Yes Nice opening shot with smooth camera movement-often a rare sight in student productions. Continuity editing/match-on-action just isn't there. The flick to black screen ruins any sense of continuity I don't like the huge text on screen-you should be able to tell a simple story without resorting to this. At one point,continuity is completely wrong-0:33, the edit seems like match-on-action but the character changes no dialogue, no shot-reverse-shot I'm afraid this doesn't meet the brief at all As stated by Mr Halsey, i didn't meet the brief, however, this is because I had less information and I didn't know how the planning went for the clips that I used in my video that I edited. The three editing techniques I learnt is that: There has to be continuity otherwise the audience may be confused. It's better when you're the person who knows the story line but the audience need to be ab
