Batman car chase

For Mrs Banks lesson we needed to find a scene from a film, advert, music video etc. and present it to the class. This presentation needed to include what kind of editing was in the scenes, how it was edited and what it suggested to us. I chose a clip from Batman Begins, I chose a car chase scene where Batman is trying to get away from the police. I chose this because I thought that it would be interesting to look at all the kinds of editing and what they look like when they are in a film. This also improved my knowledge on editing as a whole because it made me look at all the kinds and I also looked at what they suggested to the audience.
I found that at the beginning of the clip there was an action match between the characters and the cars to show that they are building up to something and the fast cuts within the scene when the car chase is happening makes it more intense. The camera also pans with the car when its moving to show that it is going faster than it actually is in real life. When we see the close up faces of Batman and Rachel, it shows that they are both concentrating on the driving and thinking about what is going to happen. The short cuts of the car crashing into objects implies that the car is powerful and that it can defeat anything. The cross cutting when the camera is on the police man and then when its directed on the car which a=is about to crash into the wall suggests to us that there is a sense of panic from all the characters which adds to the dramatic affect. Finally whenever the car is in the air they have used slow motion which also adds to the  dramatic affect.
