5 Master Edits in Film

The first scene is a great example of a Leitmotif, I got it from the original Jurassic Park, t is a good example because every time you hear the song you visualize the iconic scene of the helicopter flying either in or out of Jurassic Park.

The second shot I got is from Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, a movie about infamous serial killer Theodore "Ted" Bundy. In this scene it cuts from a shot of Liz awaiting Ted in a visit hours before his inevitable execution, to a shot of Liz and Ted's first night meeting, which so happened to be at an upbeat club in Seattle. Which is a great example of contrast.

The third scene where I recognized a master edit being implemented was when Liz received a call from a Colorado detective, while Ted sat in that same Colorado Jail's library, studying for the trial that began the next day.

The fourth scene that included one of the master edits was of a switch being flicked to an on position, brightening the kitchen table where his pictures were at in Liz's home, adding symbolism to the shot.

The final scene featured parallelism, in which he turned the brown coat, into a backpack as part of his disguised, and it cut away as he put it on, the cut to him wearing it striding down the street.
