1. What principles of continuity are used here? How successfully? Refer to specific shots / screengrabs.


the principles are sucessful to a certain extent as the picture flows but there are certain frame transitions were you can see the director has chosen to cut to a new camera angle which is conspicous such as shot 1-2 there is clear jump cut which doesn't look very neat and there is a clear switch in position by the protagonist otherwise the continuity is very successful as shot 3-4 is very well cut as the movie flows perfectly during theese shots.
2. What is the effect of the editing on the viewer? What are we meant to feel at different stages? (ie before she enters the house, in the kitchen, in the corridor, in the bedroom, running away)?


the editing is very successful as as there are three main stages through this clip the protagonist's entrance to the house , the finding of the body and the reaction and the emotions felt by the audience as there is a great element of shock as the body without the eyes is found.

3. What is the 'best bit' for you in this sequence in terms of learning new techniques and why?


sequence that i felt was most effect was shots 15 throuh to 17 was most sucessful as there is a great flow in terms of continuity and the shot compisition is very clever in terms of it the relfects how the clip is going
