Another well-crafted shot was the in the scene where Ness was on top of the stairs where the lady with the baby at the bottom, this showed where time was the most important part. When the clock hit 12:00 the action started, but the scene showed the baby in the stroller this was a zoomed in camera view. Most of the lighting was low to dark lighting, this was well done and set the mood of the film adequately. Speed was another aspect that was shown when the horses made across the field to the bridge.

Identify the types of editing in your selected film. Discuss them in terms of how it affected your viewing experience; in other words, did the different types of shots and framing add value to your experience?

The editing that I paid close attention to was the time scene that showed where the clock on the wall hit 12:00 that placed the lady and her baby on the steps where the action was set to happen. Another scene I notice was the scene on the bridge where the goods were to change hands and Ness and his men rode horses across the field to take over or break up the deal.

It added value to my experience because it made the unreal seem
