Blog Post 3: Relationship Between Shots


            The clip that I chose is from the very beginning of the movie “Sicario”. The shots start off with a van full of FBI agents and then changes to a POV from inside the van as it drives up to the house that it’s about to break through. The next shot is from inside of the house, with the van breaking through. This sequence of shots set the mood to be intense and made me jump in my seat. It is then edited with a series of clips with gunshot sounds effects and screaming of “don’t move” from the FBI. These clips are short and set a fast paced tone of a house raid. After the FBI barges into the room with the shooter, the clips are longer as the characters wonder why he shot, which then pans through the room and they realize that there are bodies in the wall. The more they dig through the wall, the faster the shots are cut again, so that the intensity can pick up. The cuts in this clip are seamless and go along with the storyline very well to set up a powerful scene.
