Drama
genre films can interlace with different genres of film so there can be drama
horrors or dramatic thrillers etc, so there can be different editing techniques
for these different sub genres e.g.:
THE READER:
Subtle colours are used in the taglines (binary opposition in screenshot above) so that this particular drama conforms
to the stereotype of the romantic element it is also trying to portray.
I SAW THE DEVIL:
Jump cuts are used to
create sense of disorientation which is ideal for a horror/crime drama as there
are many enigmas created within the trailer itself.
CHOOSE:
This trailer uses a lot of reaction shots and this is so that the
audience can see and almost feel how the actors and actresses are reacting to
certain situations in the trailer despite the fact that the teaser trailer is
not in linear order.
In some of the research I have done there
are some editing techniques I have seen in dramas that could be possible inspiration
to our own teaser trailer in some short films. The screenshot below shows a
type of editing where the colouration of the actual filming has been changed to
a luminescent purple which makes the close up effective as the audience can see
the smallest details in the protagonist’s face in the close up shot, making it
more surreal and heartfelt by the audience. The purple colour makes the shot
look different and haunting in a way which could be really effective in our own
piece of work if done accordingly.
In “Emotion” I found that the slow motion
parts of the short film were really effective in terms of how the protagonist
feels, as though time slows down shown through her emotion and body language
which makes her appear distraught and maddened. The jump cuts were efficient in
making her seem quite disjointed from how she was feeling at the start, and the
contrast shown is very noticeable which choice of editing because she seems
quite unstable, and Jake one of our protagonists is supposed to be this way, so
this editing could be useful to us in some way.
