saw v - cube trap



  Within this clip we see a variety of different shots of editing. Firstly we see the victim in a vunrable position when his head is trapped in the cube, the montage effect is used here when the shots are juxtaposed together showing the front of the man to side of him, flashing lights are also used and the man moves franticly creating excitement for the audience and adrenaline as they are unaware of what is happening.This relates to a thriller as many films use the montage effect to create excitement for the audience and it makes the pace of the film appear faster, building the adrenaline. Also the audience are unaware of what or will will happen to the man in the film, interesting the audience to watch the film further. 

Secondly timing of shots are used when the water is entering the cube, the speed of the clip slows down while the water is entering the cube where the mans head is, showing that the water is the main focus of the clip and this builds suspense as the the man is in a vunrable position. The clip being slowed down allows the audience to predict what will happen next.

To create emotional impact a linking shot is used when the man is drowning, the camera shows the mans body while he holds a pen. This creates tension and creates an emotional impact as the audience are unknown if he'll die, the linking shots allow the audience to like all the things happening together making them predict what will happen.
