Seamless editing Seamless editing was a technique used in the early cinema by D.W Griffths it is where the cut crosses the line of action it is also known as invisible editing. It first was used by the russians in the 20th century on of the pioneers called Sergi Eisenstine who made a film called 'battleship potemkin'. It used to help create a story in a film using the technique.
Parallel editing
Parallel editing, also known as cross cutting is a technique used in editing where two or more scenes which often happen but in different locations in the film. Edwin S.Porter used this I his movie 'The Great Train Robbery' . In the early cinema cross cutting was used to show where things occur in different locations.
Point of view shot
Point of View shot - This is a technique where it will show the scene from the characters point of view, so you can see the events from their perspective, allowing the audience to feel involved in the film because they can see it as if they are there. The Point Of View shot is used here, it is done to show the current events taking place from one characters perspective. It is done to see the events from the eyes of the character.
Shot rev shot
Shot Reverse shot is, involves two characters having a conversation. You would have one character looking at the other, then we would have a reverse shot from that characters point of view. This is also known as continuity editing.The purpose of using short reverse shot to see character face whilst talking instead focusing on one character when talking, by this you can see their emotions when talking and makes more interesting. It engages the viewers making them more entertained and telling them what is actually going on.
As we can see from 30 seconds in the use of Shot rev shot was used, as the camera is positioned from over the shoulders of each character. It also portrays the relationship between the two characters. Each time a person speaks it automatically cuts to the main objective. Shot rev shot was developed by Dw Griffith.
Continuity
- A sequence of shots done to entertain the audience, to create a story in a linear sequence. It was invented by D.W Griffiths, through trial as error, as he would try something out and see if it worked. Continuity came from the US, fighting between them and Soviet Russia, who created montage, continuity proved more popular with audiences as it was just done to entertain the audience, unlike montage, which is designed to make the audience think. Continuities main aim is to actually keep viewers engaged and entertained instead of making them actually think like what montage does.
180 degree rule:
This an imaginary line that goes between two characters which the camera or set of cameras must not cross. Its a mainstream type of editing as it allows and keeps continuity. It uses different combination of shots such as shot reverse shot and over the shoulder shot to show conversation between two characters it also engages the viewer by letting them know who a character is talking to or talking about, the main purpose of the 180 degree rule is to keep one character on a particular and another character on the other side of the screen the rule also follows the action as it happens. We can seethe rule been used alot in the trailer of man of steel mainly during conversations.
Motivated cut:
This is when a shot/ scene cuts to another scene to show an object or character that wast present in the previous frame. Its a mainstream style of editing as it doesn't break continuity, its normally used to create suspense or show conversations between two characters with different significant importance added to them in detail in those shots.The main purpose of the motivated cut is to actually make the viewers know what is going on it engages the viewers and also develops the drama it also uses a variety of different combinations of shot cutting at different pace and also following the action.
Cross cutting
Cross- Cutting Cross cutting also known as parallel editing, is cutting between two different scenes that are happening at the same time.This technique was created and developed by D.W. Griffith. Cross-Cutting was first used in D.W Griffith's film "After many years" in 1908. The clip below shows an example of cross-cutting being used. The clip is from the film Quantum of Solace. In the scene, A man is being interrogated, the camera then cuts to another scene to show that somebody is approaching in a car. The purpose of Cross-Cutting is to show two important/relevant events in the story that are happening at the same time. Using Cross-Cutting makes the story of a film more interesting for audience. It also allows the audience to be introduced to new characters of the story. Cross cutting manipulates time and space as it allows us to see two different events simultaneously happening at the exactly same time. Though these shots were shot at different times, it has been edited to make viewers think they are actually happening at the same time which really helps in story telling as it also engage the viewers and they do not need to use their brains to work out what is going on so its defiantly a mainstream way of editing it aloes uses different combinations of different shots to make the story more interesting.
Rhythmic editing:
Shots changes based on the tempo of music been played so therefore the shots changes according to the tempo of the music. This technique is used to pass time. It was invented by esiestein. This technique uses alot of different shots combined together to actually engage the viewers as they are mentally engaged as they use their eyes and hears they do not know that the beat is followed by the editing or the editing is not noticed, it can also be used to create tension or to increase the tempo of a particular scene of video.
Jump cuts
Jump cuts were created in 1896 by Melies he was filming a bus coming out of a tunnel and his camera film jammed when it started filming again it filmed a horse cart going by and when he watched the film a jump cut was created making the bus look like it transformed into the horse cart, he used this in is magical shows to show people disappearing. Jump cuts were usually used to create magically effects during the 1800s but now in the present days jump cuts are been used to break continuity and therefore can fall under montage techniques. Jump cuts basically manipulates time and space as it can be used to show the passing of time in just one glance also uses combination of different shots but doesn't actually tell a story. When a jump cut is used most times there are no relationships between the two shots or just little therefore it can be seen as an alternative way of editing as it allows discontinuity and not continuity.
Cut away is a shot that is of something other than the current action. It could be a different subject, a close up of a different part of a subject. This breaks continuity because the TV show such as family guy often uses cutaways to show humor. This is to cut away from the action to something else. This then goes back to the character completing the action. When using cutaways you always need to consider continuity. Edwin Porter said to be the first person to use editing in a film,wasn't till 1903 when he used editing in a long film which was the " Life of a American fireman. Porter went create ' The great train robbery' was one of the first films to show editing of scenes, ad piecing them together.
Narrative structure is linear as the audience watch the start right through the end of the story-line of the film. It ends as a closed ending as we
Format is a single drama because it doesn't continue to another episode telling the storyline from beginning, middle and end all in the same short film.
Lighting used through out it very dark known as low key lighting it's used to help create an atmosphere of tension and mystery in the film by using colours such as black it gives a sense of evil
.
Before the film begins the title of the film is in the colour red symbolizing hell or death behind the title is music being played which is quite hey key weary. Creating suspense the audience known from this that its a horror film thought the fact of the colour red suggesting blood which infers death.
The girls behavior is very jumpy showing that she is frightened and worried as she continues to turn on the light making sure that there is noting in her room with her, she also goes down stairs a few times showing that she is scared especially of the dark when we first hear her tell her parents that she's afraid of the dark. When she goes in the kitchen the lighting used is hey key showing that the outside of her room is safe rather than in her bedroom which is filled with darkness and horror.Before she jumps out of bed going downstairs the first shot shows a close up of the girl hiding under the blankets showing that the emotions of the girl is terrified and worried of the unknown whilst being in the dark.The director uses diegetic sounds which both audience and the character can hear the sound of water dripping from a tap which has been edited to be quite loud than it would usual as the girl is vulnerable and alone at this point making her being in complete silence so the director puts the audience in the girls shoes hearing that the sound of the tap is very tense and worrying unknowing of her surroundings.
The next shot is a mid shot as the girl gets up from her bed sitting up afraid showing the facial expressions as the setting of where she is in her bedroom. The background of the walls is white the reason of this is to show that the character of the young girl is a victim that she is innocent and pure she also wears white and light colour pjs making the audience feel more emotive towards her as she is vulnerable and lonely.
The director then uses an over the shoulder shot looking down the stairs before the girl walks down stairs she takes a peak telling the audience that she is worried and concerned of her surroundings as well the Unknown as she doesn't known where the sound of water dripping is coming from? Making the audience feel tensed and creating a sense of mystery and suspense.Also used is a tilt of which moves from the bottom up of the top of the stairs from the floor. After this a close up is used to show the facial expressions of the girl the audience can see form this that she is very scared as she bites her lips confused of what is happening at this point being alone.
Then there is a high angle showing the girl walking down stairs form above as if something greater than her is looking upon her, in this shot the director has used dark colours showing shadows creating more mystery of the film which the audience feel even more tense and suspicious.
When in the kitchen a close up is shown of the tap which the audience and girl discover that the sound of water dripping is not coming from here as what was expected therefore is creates confusion making the audience encourage watching as they want to find out what happens next. The lighting changes when the location changes to downstairs in the kitchen whereas the bedroom was low key the kitchen is high key making it seem as down stairs is safer than upstairs in the girls bedroom. Here the sound stops creating mystery. There is a none diegetic sound of a scary type tone which only that audience are able to hear.
After this the young girl is seen rushing up the stairs back to her bed ready to sleep to show this the director used an high angle looking down as she runs up the stairs showing that the behaviour of the girls is very scared running away from what she is frightened of. The editing of jump cuts from the differ et shots of movement when the girl runs up e stairs to jumping in bed shows the speed at which the girl is pasting at, this also shows that she is afraid and worried.
Here is an extreme close up showing the emotions through the eyes, from the eyes the audience can see great fear that the girl is scared for her life beginning to start crying as her eyes water knowing that something evil is around her. Creating tension as we become scared for the girl not knowing what is going to happen whether she will be killed or some what. After the girl then repeatedly runs down stairs to check to see where the sound is coming from of dripping water we hear I weary noise which only the audience can hear creating a more thrilling atmosphere we known realise that the sound is not dripping water from a tap as she had now checked a second tap in the house and nothing seems to be right.
There is a long shot to show the fear of the girl and the hell which is in her wardrobe the bloody wardrobe doesn't make it clear who is murdered or who caused the killing as the killer is not revealed making it an open ending which the audience must watch to see the next part of which continues the story. The director uses another close up showing the shocking death in more depth noticing the sound of dripping is blood which we were made first to think it was water from a tap. The colour of red which was first seen in the colour of the text foreshadows the death of that happens later in the film, the light is still dark and mysterious the only other none dark colour used is red symbolising hell and death. From this the girl is completely terrified but more confused of who has committed such crime in her own room without her realising that someone must have come into her room whilst her being there. The next shots shows the body language of the girl which she is utter afraid covering her face.
There was a sense of pace in the way the film was edited, it stated slow which went to each shot individually at a regular speed however as the film carried on it started to speed up to the end where it was quite fast when she went to the wardrobe by having loner shots it makes the audience get an understanding of what is going on in the film. From this way of editing it creates tension for the audience making it more entertaining for them to watch as they get drown into it feeling how the character feels. The shots at the end cutted quickly showing the wardrobe back to the girls expressions.The film used continuity editing technique the purpose of continuity is to establish a logical understanding between each shot knowing what is happening and whats going to happen. Its used to smooth out the parts of discontinuity which doesn't fit in the order.
Narrative Structure: The narrative structure is an open narrative as the ending is not the end of the story line leaving the audience with a cliffhanger, waiting for the next part of the film to discover what happens next to the character.
Format : The format is a single drama as it all happens in one short film meaning that all footage is seen in the same video, showing the beginning to the end.
Lighting: The lighting used is the same throughout the film which is low key lighting with natural night setting we see this from the location in long shots that the character is out at night. Colours used such as mostly blacks shows darkness and creates mystery other than high key lighting. It keeps the audience engaged in the thriller as it also creates suspense as well as a thrilling atmosphere.
In the first shot a mid shot is being used to show from the shoulders up, by using this the director is able to show the facial expression of the character aswell as the background. From this shot the audience get an idea of the characters behaviour being very scared and isolated being out at night alone. Already expecting someone or something to approach him.
Second shot, a long shot is being used to show the other character and the location around him from this the audience can see that he is very strange by the way he stands, this engages the audience to want to continue watching to see what this character will do next being so close to the other man.The audience can see that this character is evil and no good as he comes out of a shadow which is dark however the surrounding is light. The sounds of the mans footsteps foreshadows that he will either follow the other character or chase him.
The next shot is an over the shoulder its where the audience can see over the mans shoulder knowing that there is someone behind him ready to make his approach.Sensing that the mans feelings is that he is worried and frightened of his surroundings, making hes next move to cross the road. Here they have edited the appearance of the smiling man to look blurry making the other character more focused on. From this the location proves that they are the only two out walking the same street as there is no other person around creating more mystery, still able to hear the mans footsteps creating an tension atmosphere, the audience realise that the victim can also can hear the noise as he continues looking around. The director here uses the 180 degree rule showing the position of the shot from the side as we watch him crossing the road revealing the location and his surroundings. Here the director has used an over the shoulder shot showing that the man is walking away from the other character concerned about what he will do next. The audience become more aware that the other character is definitely following him from which the sound speeds up still hearing the noise of footsteps coming closer.
This a close up shot used to show the facial expressions of the character from this the audience can see that he is frightened as the smiling man begins to approach him in such a vast and physical way leaping towards him. The difference between the characters is the smiling man is surrounded by many dark colours such as blacks and greys whereas the other man is very innocent wearing the colour blue. Other ways in which the director uses the camera to create tension is that it shakes a little expressing to the audience that he is unsteady as he hearts begins to start raising. The sound in this shot is non-diegetic because only the audience can hear it representing an dangerous atmosphere. The editing used is breaking the continuity using jump shots quickly showing the face of the man then back to the other character from this is shows the audience that his heart is racing knowing that he is terrified as he knows he is being stalked. Here is an example of shot reverse shot showing on shot then another the first shot is a close up than a long shot of the smiling man creating suspense as we can see he is staring directly at him wondering what his next move will be.Both characters are face on the same line of axis staring directly at each other where the camera placed is still. A long shot is then used to show that the smiling man character is un-normal an weary as the audience watch he change of mood through his behavior from walking to now rising from the floor ready to make his move as he then chases the other character. From this shot the audience are able to see the distance between the two men which is very close.Which the director doesn't give much of the smiling mans appearance away to the audience. Giving an sense of isolation from the character.There is an non-diegetic sound used to make the audience feel tensed whilst this man is staring at the smiling man feeling confused. The editing here includes a shot reverse shot showing the two characters facial expressions this creates a sense of tension as the audience watch wondering whether the smiling man is going to attack or not. We then see a mid long shot revealing the smiling man pasting for the other guy meaning that he is wanting to attack. This creates tension as we wonder whether he will get caught? or what he will do to him?
This shot shows the
character running away showing only the victim running and not the smiling man
who we first see leap after him, this creates tension as the audience wonder if
the man has gone or is still chasing him not knowing where he is at, the
audience can see him running at a fast past the filming from across the road shows
the fear from the characters body language. The director also uses a wide shot showing
the location of the road which the man is running from.
There is a use of establishing shot displaying the whereabouts of the
man running away, which makes the audience wonder where the other man ‘the
smiling man’ is as he is in nowhere to be seen. The audience can hear the sound
of a heart beat creating tension, showing the audience that the character is
scared as his heart is racing in fear.
The second to last shot shows an extreme close up as the man slowly turns around looking over his shoulders showing fear in his facial expression. The audience feel tensed as well as the character as the paste went from being quick to slow as both character don't know where the smiling man is at.
The last shot used is a close up of the villains face the editing here is very quick and un-expected which scares the audience as they wait for the smiling man to make contact.
Narrative structure is linear as it shows the start, middle and end showing no other content such as flashbacks or flash-forwards revealing the ending.
Format is a single drama because it is shown only once and doesn't continue to another story line. The audience watch the film from begging to end so they find out how it starts and how the story ends all in the same film.
Before the film even
starts we already know the genre is horror, this is because we notice the
colour red on screen signifying hell such as evil or blood meaning death. In this
shot we also hear music played in this shot sounding like a cradle suggesting
children young as babies, this foreshadows that they use a young person as the
main role being the victim in the film already the audience realise that a
child is involved.
In the first shot of
the film we see a low angle is being used expressing to the audience something dominant
is under the bed below the child. Inferring that the child is vulnerable and
unable to defend herself from what every else is in the room with her. By
showing a low angle it also indicates hell as we know hell is below us and
heaven is above this gives the audience an image that there is something who is
bad perhaps a demon or devil. It also gives the audience an idea that something
will be coming out from under the bed later on the film. Also in this shot we
notice that the room is mostly white showing that the character of the young
child is pure and all good. Also being used is a long shot showing the location
which the film is set in, showing to the audience that the film takes place in
the young girl’s bedroom, another thing used in this shot is a dolly zoom
moving closer to the girls face showing her expression of being scared and anxious.
The narrative of this is that we can predict something will either attack and possess
the child or even kill. The diegetic sounds in this scene are the rain and
thunder as both audience and character can hear this. The weather of the scene
of lighting and thunder creates a mood of the girl that she is frightened and terrified,
using lighting creates tension for the audience.
The lighting which is
used is low key with many dark colours such as black. Showing shadows in the
background of characters. By using dark colours it creates a sense of mood of
mystery and suspense creating a dramatic atmosphere.
Next
shot is a two shot this shows the relationship between father and daughter. Showing
that the father is concerned about his daughters behaviour being very jumpy and
unable to sleep, making him very worried about her. The setting is still very
dark and a sense of horror we know this because the colours used are still dark
greys and blacks. However, there is a light of colour coming for the outside of
her room inferring that the outside is good and safe but not in her bedroom
which is filled with dark evil. From
this the audience know that the father is not the victim as he is on the
outside of the room where it is safe and filled with good.
Here
is a long shot showing the dolls whole body and the environment where the doll
is based along with other toys. This shows that the character of the doll is a
toy of which is no ordinary toy but possessed with evil. We notice us switching
to the doll the lighting and sound effects change creating a more daunting vibe.
The shot used here is a close up
showing the audience that the doll is the villain who we know is evil and of
some supernatural type being. By showing the face of the doll is creates a
setting of no longer mystery but tension as we are told who the villain is now
waiting to see what they do next. When showing the face of the doll the
director used a low angle to show dominance and power that this doll has towards
the child. In the next shot a low angle is being used again to show something powerful is under the girls bed. The audience know that there is something under the bed as the its shown from the side angle of the bed so the audience can predict something to come out of there at some point. Also in this shot we can judge that the girl is very terrified as she finds a place to hide. The sound in the shot is diegetic as both character and audience can here the sound, the sound of the voice from the doll which tells the girl to come out and play creating a sense of tension and fear as the girl is now approached by the demon as it talks to her.Whilst the girl is alone in her bedroom her father goes down stairs making a phone call whilst filming on the film the editor used jump cuts to show insecurity and the character is tense.
The audience then see the girl hide under the bed which we first thought the doll was here, making the audience now wonder where the doll is in the room as its no longer under the bed we know that it is still in her bedroom. At this point only the audience can hear the sound of the girls heart beat known as none-diegetic sound creating an atmosphere which we are able to out our self in the girls shoes and feel as afraid as she does in that moment of time. Also used is a panning shot to show that the character is being watched by its attacker and followed.
Here a close up is being used to show the face of the doll which the audience now know it is about to attack the young girl, creating even more tension as the audience become scared for the girl not knowing if she will be killed or not.Whilst showing the girls face there is an edit of lighting struck in the background creating an dramatic atmosphere.
Here an extreme close up is being used to
show the facial expressions in more depth of the young girls, through the eyes
the audience can see great fear of which the girl is terrified for her life at
this point being strapped to her bed unable to move or run away. Making the
doll in full control. The director also used shot/reverse shot between the girl
and the doll the cuts are very quick as the dolls actions on the girl are very
quick and rapid confusing the audience and what is happen of even what the doll
is doing to the girl. The editing here is very quick using jump shots between
the two characters also the struck of lighting.
The director then uses a high angle to show the full body of the young
girl laying on her bed. Showing to the character she is vulnerable as the demon
as taken her soul leaving her fragile the use of colour of the girl’s dress of
white and pink tones shows the purity of the girl and her innocence. There is a
non-diegetic sound of a loud thumbing sound which only the audience can hear showing
that this is the end of the dolls doing which she has success done as she
wanted to do. The audience know that the girl is not her normal self by her
change of clothes she has become the doll and the doll has become her
possessing her body. The colour white of her shoes and her clothes shows her innocent, her skin is also pale suggesting that she is soulless and no longer alive.
The last shot is a mid close up revealing that the girl has been possessed now in the girl. We know this from the change of hair which the doll before was black but all of sudden the hair is now blonde. The colour red on the dolls face symbolises death we notice the background of the doll is very dark coming out of an shadow creating suspense. it also links back to the beginning of the film when red was used as the background of the titles suggesting a killing. We also can notice an object in the dolls hand which we believe is a knife, showing that this is the murder weapon that was used to kill the girl however when we see the shot of girl laying on the bed we don't see any blood on her this suggests that she therefore was possessed which means her body has been taken over.
There are three main formats used for single camera production they are:
Series
A series is where it has a number of episodse all linking together having something in common.Also a number of events happening one after an another related to each other of some kind.
Single Drama
A single drama is when the story last for a maximum of a couple of hours which you find out the beginning and end of the story line not continuing to a another film. Serial
A serial is where a story happens more than once committing the same offence, following the characteristics also the predictable behaviour pattern for a example a serial killer would cause an offence in a show which you have to carry on watching to find out the plot. Which never end involving round 1-3 main characters
Linear narrative is when a show starts from the beginning right through to the end. It's really simple and easy to follow for the audience, making them able to understand what's happening and what's going to happen next. A linear narrative usually attractive the younger generation because is easy to understand meaning that they find more interest than the older generation so might enjoy watching something more complex.
Non-linear Narrative
Non linear narrative is where the story is not in chronological order meaning that the beginning may be shown at the end or the opposite. It does not follow any type of pattern, where events happen at different times in the show unexpectedly. It may include a narrative of another story inside the main plot line it's been used in thrillers for the main reason of creating mystery and suspense atmosphere for the audience.
Episodic Narrative
Episodic narrative is where the story is told through a series of episode for example ‘Misfits’ is a story that tells through a numerous episodes in which every episode will recap what happen in the last episode this will happen at the beginning of each episode, another example is ‘Hollyoaks. ’ by this will give a rough idea what happen in the last episode and will help the audience understand what is going to happen in the next episode.
Most films use episodic narrative structure, as it tells a story through the films but they do not include the plot in that movie creating at least 2-3 movies to watch in order to find out the ending. For example the Hunger Games and Twilight. By this, it will capture the audience attention therefore more people are incourage to watch the movie. Episodic is good narrative structure when coming to TV programme because they do not give the plot line.
Open Narrative
Open narrative, involves many characters and has no sense of ending. It's mainly used in soap operas such as Cornation street or Eastenders which never come to an ending, making the story continue to build further on as the audience feel more interested to carry on watching.
Close Narrative
Whereas, close narratives come to an ending and usually last 2 and half hours including all the characters and key events. Such as the thriller film 'About time'. This helps keeping the audience more entertained knowing that they are having to continue watching to find out the plot of the film.
Realist and Anti-realist Narrative
Realist narrative is the story which relates to real life situations making the audience feel relatable to the topic in the show such as loosing a baby or worse murder also making the audience feel more engaged in the show. Where Anti-realist is the opposite it's not real life events but more supernatural for example the show doctor who none of which is real.
Single Stranded
Single stranded is the story that evolves around a single character such as a hero acting in a single plot whilst surrounded by a group of characters of who have minior roles in the film. The single character is the only one with importance focusing on he or she more.
Multi Stranded
Multi-Stranded is where different characters are involved in the show which all have heir own importance and own story line. For example in the show 'Skins' where it focuses on more than one character in each episode leading up to a plot. This makes the audience feel more entertained in each episode asthenosphere find out more things and are introduced to new characters.

To show mystery the director used low key lighting to create a dark, isolated atmosphere. This is so us as an audience feel scared and makes us feel intimidated.
Single camera
Single camera, is when you film using one camera only in either a film or show its used to show more dramatic effect of the characters towards the audience including shots such as close up and extreme close ups, shooting at one angle. It's most commonly used in serials and series such as thrillers to create mystery and suspense.
Types of genres that use single camera techniques: Utopia -Thriller
In the show utopia we notice many single camera techniques have been used shot types such as close ups, mid shots and more. This is used to create suspense as its a thriller as well as mystery by using a single camera the director is able to create an atmosphere and relationship between the characters such as the mother and child and the male. The set up of using a single camera is very simple basically placing the camera in front of the character on a tripod and then filming from the angle you are at. The scene begins with a master shot where all characters are in shot as well as the location they are at we already know before that they will begin having a conversation sitting at the airport waiting for their plane. By using a one camera you are able to capture detail of the character such as facial expressions and eye contact with the audience.
Come fly with me- Comedy
In the comedy show 'come fly with me' they use many single camera techniques to relate to reality including shots such as close ups and mid shots to focus on facial expressions also the surroundings, to conclude when we would have to speak to people in ordinary life we would only see from shoulders up. Also is a type documentary show were different people are interviewed who each have different roles in the airport. Multi camera production
Whereas, multi camera is using more than one camera at different angles making it easier to cut to one camera to the other. It's most commonly used in live shows that are filmed in studios.It gives the director less control than with a single camera but is a faster way of filming and more expensive.Multi camera techniques is mainly used for live shows to ensure that they cover all action going on in the show
Types of genres that use multi camera techniques : Graham Norton - Talk show
Shows such as Graham Norton , Jermery Kyle etc use multi camera as they are shows which are live on TV meaning that it's easily and quicker to use more than one camera filming different aspects in the show at the same time. They don't have time to be filming with a single camera as that would mean having to move a lot to capture different angles of people in the show talking making it not suitable to watch as it would be very jumpy and rushed not easy to understand what's going on. Whilst watching the show the audience can see a range of different shots and angles used as they can cut into shots easily and quickly with multi cam.
Sport channels -live football
Multi camera is mainly used for coverage, coverage means showing all of the action shown at the same time such as filming a live football match. It's impossible to film a live football match with a single camera as you wouldn't be able to achieve filming all action that was happening and all the players at the same time with a single camera as if you missed filming a goal you wouldn't be able to re do that shot as the fact it was live the players couldn't re play that goal again as it's simple a game.
The girls behavior is very jumpy showing that she is frightened and worried as she continues to turn on the light making sure that there is noting in her room with her, she also goes down stairs a few times showing that she is scared especially of the dark when we first hear her tell her parents that she's afraid of the dark. When she goes in the kitchen the lighting used is hey key showing that the outside of her room is safe rather than in her bedroom which is filled with darkness and horror.Before she jumps out of bed going downstairs the first shot shows a close up of the girl hiding under the blankets showing that the emotions of the girl is terrified and worried of the unknown whilst being in the dark.The director uses diegetic sounds which both audience and the character can hear the sound of water dripping from a tap which has been edited to be quite loud than it would usual as the girl is vulnerable and alone at this point making her being in complete silence so the director puts the audience in the girls shoes hearing that the sound of the tap is very tense and worrying unknowing of her surroundings.
The next shot is a mid shot as the girl gets up from her bed sitting up afraid showing the facial expressions as the setting of where she is in her bedroom. The background of the walls is white the reason of this is to show that the character of the young girl is a victim that she is innocent and pure she also wears white and light colour pjs making the audience feel more emotive towards her as she is vulnerable and lonely.
The director then uses an over the shoulder shot looking down the stairs before the girl walks down stairs she takes a peak telling the audience that she is worried and concerned of her surroundings as well the Unknown as she doesn't known where the sound of water dripping is coming from? Making the audience feel tensed and creating a sense of mystery and suspense.Also used is a tilt of which moves from the bottom up of the top of the stairs from the floor. After this a close up is used to show the facial expressions of the girl the audience can see form this that she is very scared as she bites her lips confused of what is happening at this point being alone.
Here is an extreme close up showing the emotions through the eyes, from the eyes the audience can see great fear that the girl is scared for her life beginning to start crying as her eyes water knowing that something evil is around her. Creating tension as we become scared for the girl not knowing what is going to happen whether she will be killed or some what. After the girl then repeatedly runs down stairs to check to see where the sound is coming from of dripping water we hear I weary noise which only the audience can hear creating a more thrilling atmosphere we known realise that the sound is not dripping water from a tap as she had now checked a second tap in the house and nothing seems to be right.
There is a long shot to show the fear of the girl and the hell which is in her wardrobe the bloody wardrobe doesn't make it clear who is murdered or who caused the killing as the killer is not revealed making it an open ending which the audience must watch to see the next part of which continues the story. The director uses another close up showing the shocking death in more depth noticing the sound of dripping is blood which we were made first to think it was water from a tap. The colour of red which was first seen in the colour of the text foreshadows the death of that happens later in the film, the light is still dark and mysterious the only other none dark colour used is red symbolising hell and death. From this the girl is completely terrified but more confused of who has committed such crime in her own room without her realising that someone must have come into her room whilst her being there. The next shots shows the body language of the girl which she is utter afraid covering her face.
Second shot, a long shot is being used to show the other character and the location around him from this the audience can see that he is very strange by the way he stands, this engages the audience to want to continue watching to see what this character will do next being so close to the other man.The audience can see that this character is evil and no good as he comes out of a shadow which is dark however the surrounding is light. The sounds of the mans footsteps foreshadows that he will either follow the other character or chase him.
Here the director has used an over the shoulder shot showing that the man is walking away from the other character concerned about what he will do next. The audience become more aware that the other character is definitely following him from which the sound speeds up still hearing the noise of footsteps coming closer. 
This shot shows the
character running away showing only the victim running and not the smiling man
who we first see leap after him, this creates tension as the audience wonder if
the man has gone or is still chasing him not knowing where he is at, the
audience can see him running at a fast past the filming from across the road shows
the fear from the characters body language. The director also uses a wide shot showing
the location of the road which the man is running from.
The last shot used is a close up of the villains face the editing here is very quick and un-expected which scares the audience as they wait for the smiling man to make contact. 
Next
shot is a two shot this shows the relationship between father and daughter. Showing
that the father is concerned about his daughters behaviour being very jumpy and
unable to sleep, making him very worried about her. The setting is still very
dark and a sense of horror we know this because the colours used are still dark
greys and blacks. However, there is a light of colour coming for the outside of
her room inferring that the outside is good and safe but not in her bedroom
which is filled with dark evil. From
this the audience know that the father is not the victim as he is on the
outside of the room where it is safe and filled with good.
The shot used here is a close up
showing the audience that the doll is the villain who we know is evil and of
some supernatural type being. By showing the face of the doll is creates a
setting of no longer mystery but tension as we are told who the villain is now
waiting to see what they do next. When showing the face of the doll the
director used a low angle to show dominance and power that this doll has towards
the child.
Here a close up is being used to show the face of the doll which the audience now know it is about to attack the young girl, creating even more tension as the audience become scared for the girl not knowing if she will be killed or not.Whilst showing the girls face there is an edit of lighting struck in the background creating an dramatic atmosphere. 
Here an extreme close up is being used to
show the facial expressions in more depth of the young girls, through the eyes
the audience can see great fear of which the girl is terrified for her life at
this point being strapped to her bed unable to move or run away. Making the
doll in full control. The director also used shot/reverse shot between the girl
and the doll the cuts are very quick as the dolls actions on the girl are very
quick and rapid confusing the audience and what is happen of even what the doll
is doing to the girl. The editing here is very quick using jump shots between
the two characters also the struck of lighting.
The director then uses a high angle to show the full body of the young
girl laying on her bed. Showing to the character she is vulnerable as the demon
as taken her soul leaving her fragile the use of colour of the girl’s dress of
white and pink tones shows the purity of the girl and her innocence. There is a
non-diegetic sound of a loud thumbing sound which only the audience can hear showing
that this is the end of the dolls doing which she has success done as she
wanted to do. The audience know that the girl is not her normal self by her
change of clothes she has become the doll and the doll has become her
possessing her body. The colour white of her shoes and her clothes shows her innocent, her skin is also pale suggesting that she is soulless and no longer alive.
