5 Master Edits in a Professional Film

This scene uses contrast. At the beginning of this scene, it shows a dark, quite, chill mood inside a car with very little noise and an overall calm atmosphere. But it cuts right to a completely different scene that is much more brighter, louder, and just more colorful in general. This contrast shows the complete shift in energy that goes on for the rest of the show, from a chilled, control mood, to now a wild and unexpectable type show.

Now this scene uses parallelism. In this scene, it show two teams going up against each other in a game of tug-of-war, in which the losing team gets knocked off a high platform and fall to their deaths. This game had huge risks and the parallelism did a very good job in showing the difference in attitude between the two teams. The scene continuously switched from one team to another, in which one team were the alpha team, who were very confident and filled with rage, while the other team were noticeably more scared and worried for their life as they knew they were going to lose.

In this scene the director uses simultaneity. In this scene, it starts off with showing the lady inside the bathroom making time for her and friend in order for them to explore what is happening in other rooms. The scene then cuts to the guard waiting right outside the door as all of this is unfolding, while even being able to hear the lady screaming as it cuts to the guard. This did a very good job in showing two different things that were happening at the same time.
