Master edits in a professional film

 Movie: Monsters Inc

Simultaneity: In this scene Sullivan races to save boo from being crushed with the trash but in reality she is safe upstairs with some other baby monsters. This clip shows two things that are  happening at the same time; this  perfectly demonstrates simultaneity which is a technique of  cutting between two simultaneous events as a way of driving up the suspense. 

 symbolism:  A symbolism shot is a shot that  moves from one scene to the next where there is a symbolic connection. In this scene when sully, boo, and mike find all the doors but are focused on trying to catch a certain door. The white door  symbolizes the groups chance to finally return boo to the real world and fix this whole mess that happened.
Contrast:
In this funny clip sully is being chased by boo scared out of his mind. This scene effectively shows "contrast" or  a shot includes two differing shots to make the difference between them clearer, being used because compared to the monsters doing typical scaring  a little girl is the one scaring the huge monster.

5 master shots

 



The first edit is a contrast shot, a contrast shot includes two differing shots to make a difference between them more obvious. In this shot Michael is sleeping while on the other hand I am all energetic from drinking a soda.

The second edit is a parallelism shot this technique brings two different techniques together by identifying their similarities and differences between the 2. In this shot I am running and being compared to a lion running after its prey 

The third edit is symbolism,  a symbolism shot moves from one scene to the next where there is a symbolic connection between the shots. In this shot the main focus is the toilet paper and when Michael discovers it in his cupboard it cuts to the me grabbing a toilet paper.

    The fourth edit is simultaneity, simultaneity editing technique uses two scenes that occurs at the same exact time or around the same time period. Normally, simultaneity is use to build suspense towards the audience. In this shot I am knocking on the door at the same time Michael is inside reacting to the knocks and suspense is built not revealing who is truly at risk.

    The fifth edit is Leitmotif ,  A leitmotif shot includes a recurring theme, where in this case the theme was a repeated clip.  In this shot Michael is doing bad things but he keeps having the reoccurring clip of me saying no popping into his head and realizing what he is about to do is bad.
