Editing

Editing is the changing shots in a film. Editing is important because it creates the atnosphere of the film, for example if there is a lot of action going on the editing is faster making the scene more exciting or tense. Or if there is not a lot of action in the scene the editing will be slower making it more relaxed and layed back.

At the begining of this scene there is an establishing shot this shows you where the location of the scene is. Then there are close ups of the main characters so you can see where they are and what they're doing. The speed at which the shots are changing starts of slow then begings to get fatser when the close ups begin, this starts to build tension.

Through out this scene Crosscutting or Parallel editing is used a lot this shows you that Davey Jones and Captin Barbosa's actions are linked and they are preparing for battle in the same way. This also builds tension because you can tell that the battle is going to start.

When Will and Elizabeth are kissing the camera zooms out so you can see the action that is going on around them.
