Feedback -
WWW - Some impressive, detailed answers with good reference to the clip. Plenty of media language; some theory.
EBI - Editing is the major weakness, more theory required.
Learner Response -
Slow paced editing has been used throughout the clip to build up tension effectively. When Keaton approaches his killer his eyeline match in particular raises tension - this is because the killer is kept a mystery at first and the audience are denied any access to finding out the identity of the killer. Also, slow motion is used when a cigarette is thrown onto the petrol, followed by a final shot of flames shooting into the sky. This increases the emotional impact and the atmosphere is more dramatic. The atmosphere interlinks with the music well to create a sensation of gripping action. Transitions have been used at the end of the final shot - a dissolve has been used to link the opening scene to a press conference. The purpose of the dissolve is to show how time has passed. An enigma code has been used here at the end of the clip (in reference to Barthes theory) to make the audience question and wonder what the resolution will be at the press conference and whether Keaton's killer ever gets caught.
