Star Wars edit

Star Wars edit From this edit what we were trying to achieve was to create exciting and gripping action, while also maintaining the watchers focus to dialogue which can be said. We tried to achieve this by building up the beginning to get the watcher ready for the exciting action up ahead, and then still contain that joyful experience and making sure the action was exciting enough to not seem underwhelming.
    3 highlighted edits:
1. 0:00 - 0:44, all of these edits put together showing each opposing side preparing for battle was the create tension in the build up and excite the watcher for upcoming action.
2. 1:15 - 1:20, This edit in between the commander saying he will flank and then the edit of the ship showing following behind it, this adds more to what his plans are and informs the watcher much more than just the dialogue being said.
3. 1:28 - 1:31, through this edit we wanted to bring a sense of consequence to the action, that what they're doing does have serious consequence to a point of peoples lives being loss. It was mainly to build tension and also act as a shock factor.
