insert















an insert is a shot of part of a scene as filmed from a different angle and/or focal length from the main shot. Inserts cover action already covered in the master shot, but emphasise a different aspect of that action due to the different framing. 

I feel  that here the insert is used to empathise the arrival of the main character it also makes the scene more engaging for the audience as it give a differ point of view thus expand the scale of the problem  they face

parallel editing





Parallel is very close to cross cutting . It is the editing between two or more scenes which often happen simultaneously but in different locations 


Here it is used to show the reaction of the two character it also gives an insight into the personalities of the character we can see one is facing the problem straight on while the other has a much more cautious approach to the situation    




Cross-cutting



cross-cutting - A type of editing were the point of view swicthes between events at one location and to those of another related location.It is normally used to create a dramatic sense of tension .


In this scene i feel as if this technique is used to compared the main protagonist and antagonist it is used i feel to show similarities between the two this creates a eerie sense and helps build the tension between the characters



Jump cut



An instantaneous cut from one action to another ,at first seemingly  an unrelated action. Jump cuts will usually catch the audience attention because it is such a harsh movement of camera angles


Here I believe it is used to show a change in not only time but in  settings . I do however feel it is the wrong type of shot to use as it makes the scenes feel disjointed and poorly edited which detracts for the show as a whole . however you could argue it it a quick and effective way of changing between scenes    

graphic match





match cut, also called a graphic match, is a cut in editing in which  either two different objects, two different spaces, or two different compositions were  a object in the two shots graphically match, often helping to establish a strong continuity of action and linking the two shots 

The shot is used as stated to link to shot together in this scene the shot are used to create almost a sense of time travel it helps set the scene and  time period of the show 





Eyeline Match




it is based on the idea  that the audience will want to see what the character on-screen is seeing. The eyeline match begins with a character looking at something off-screen

The eyeline match is used typical to show what a character is looking at . it creates a sense that in some ways the character on screen are equal to each other it also builds the tension of the scene between the two characters  






Reverse Shot



where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other

In this scene i feel the shot is used to create a sense of tension between the two characters in shot it also gives a sense of perspective to the audience of the situation both faces it also shows the facial expression to each person one is smug and grinning while the other two seem  much more serious
