Question 4: How is editing used to create drama and tension in the opening scene?

Editing effectively creates drama and tension in the opening scene, An example of this is the music starting in sync with the second character entering the scene. This edit making the spooky mysterious music play when the character introduced again allows us to identify him as the villain and a binary opposition was created. Straight cuts were also used throughout the sequence as transitions, allowing the scene to progress quickly and engaging the audience in the action. These straight cuts gradually got faster and shorter as the sequence progressed adding to and intensifying the suspense, eventually leading to the climax of the scene when the first character is killed. Music and camera work have also been effectively been edited I this scene.
