HOW EDITING HELPS TO CONSTRUST DISABILITY
In this extract there is a lot of "continuity editing" which is typical for such an extract.
As soon as they got in the house "eyeline match" is used as the girl looks down on the boy and also his dad and then he told the dad to get the envelope, and this creates awkwardness as she want to get paid for what was about to happen. The "Iong take" of the dad looking for the envelope increases the sence of awkwardness.
As the dad picks up his son from the wheelchair, an "eyeline match" is used even when the boy is put on the bed. When the girl returns to the bedroom an "eyeline match" is used and adds for awkwardness as the dad was try to show his t-shirt.
When the girl was locking the door, a "shot reverse shot" is used while the boy was on the bed and this creates his vulnerability and he does'nt want him to lock the door so the "shot reverse shot" showed the relationship between the locking of the door and his anxietyof being separated from the dad.
The "pace" of the extract have been slowed down to generate the feeling of anxiety and it also creates more awkwardness as they are long takes. "180 degree" rule have also been mantained through out his whole extract to keep the continuity editing.
The "eyeline match" for the dad in the car shows his protectiveness as he looks at the flt window upstairs and he is also uncomfortable. The dad is also very anxious as it is highlighted with his fidgeting shown by the"jump cuts". "Cross cutting" is also used as they doing their thing in bedroom and the dad in the car, so this shows us what's going on simultaneously. The editing is "privileging" the master shot when they are all on the bed together, as it keeps on appearing.
