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).

Key terminology for editing: Transitions Continuity editing Montage Pace Juxtaposition Continuity editing Most editing of narrative film is continuity editing.  This is when shots are placed logically so that one event follows on from the next.  We, as the audience, automatically try to make sense of one shot joining the next one.  For example, if we see an exterior shot of a school and the following shot is a classroom, we assume that the classroom is inside the school building we saw in the previous shot.   Transitions A straight cut is the most common method and the audience are so accustomed to seeing these that we rarely notice them when they occur. A fade out – the screen fades to black. A dissolve - one image blurs into the next. A wipe – one part of the screen wipes across the other. A jump cut – an unexpected edit where the audience’s attention is forced to focus on something very suddenly.   Pace The speed at wh...
