The Blues Brothers - 1980
In this scene, it is a car chase between the Blues Brothers and a small group of Nazi's on the streets of Chicago as they are on the way to deliver some money that they owe. The editing in this scene of the movies is rapid editing to match what is happening at this point in the movie, as a car chase is usually fast paced and the editing is to mirror this scene. This scene also includes a sound bridge as it the soundtrack for this car chase scene. There are continuous reactions from the brothers as when we see the nazi's chasing and shooting, we see them ducking away from the incoming fire. Towards the end of the clip, the nazi's car appears to fly over the streets of Chicago as they fly off the edge of an overpass then, when they finally crash the car goes through the ground. It crashes in a sort of an animated style as it breaks in a perfect rectangle shape which matches the shape of the car, this small section of the scene has been done purposely for comic relief and entertainment this has achieved. the intended purpose of being entertaining because the genre for this film is musical-comedy.
The editing in this scene from The Blues Brothers is non-continuous editing, this is clear to the audience when the car can be seen falling as they aren't that far from the ground when they start to fall but the last thing we see before they hit the ground is that they're around about the same height as planes go and they only drove off the edge of a highway. Another section is just before the car goes over the edge of the highway, the Blues Mobile is one the ground but they some how jump the car oer the car that the Nazi's are in and we don't see how they made the car jump which does not make this continuous.
The Matrix - 1999

The Matrix is one of the most famous trilogy sets in the world, it is well known for its characters, world building and especially the amount of details (hidden also) in each film. This scene from the first installment of the trilogy is a rooftop fight scene between Neo and Trinity against some security guards and we see a helicopter pilot shape shift into an Agent who is a program created by the machines to maintain order within the Matrix. Neo begins shooting at the agent with dual pistols but, the agent is fast enough to dodge them, one thing that they added to show how fast the agent is moving, they included after images of the agent to show how fast he was really moving. Straight after being shot at, the agent returns fire at Neo who also begins to dodge the bullets without knowing he can, the difference between the two shooting sections, we see that whilst Neo is evading bullets we can see the ripples through the air that are produced from the bullets, this helps the viewers see whereto bullets are and how close to Neo they got. This also includes a slow motion section where Neo is dodging the agents gunfire. An effect they have added into the entire film is they have added a green filter over buildings, clothes, skin and the sky etc this is a reference the Matrix coding which is also green which could also be a visual representation when they're in the matrix.
Deadpool - 2016
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfZy2pM9Emg
The editing techniques used in this clip from Deadpool, is a montage of Deadpool hunting people and killing them to find an enemy called Francis. The montage consists of rapid and constant cuts to indicate how fast Deadpool is moving and to could also represent that he is in a hurry to find Francis so that he can be cured of his mutations. There is also the use of sound-bridging as the song "X gon give it to ya" playing through every clip of the montage. the reason this song matches the montage is because it is fast and sounds action packed which fits as the montage is a lot of small and quick clips of fight scenes which makes the song have more of an impact on the footage. There is a small part of the montage where Ryan Reynolds looks at the camera and speaks to the audience which is breaking the fourth wall which is a big part of Deadpool's character. At another point within the montage, there is a blood splatter when Deadpool slices him with his sword, the editing effect of how it splatters and slides up the wall is super realistic and is very well edited.
Django Unchained - 2012
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbmDpEhAp48&t=143s
This scene from Django Unchained, is one of the most gruesome shootout scene in the modern day, it is also probably one of the most violent scenes Quentin Tarantino has ever created. The editing in this scene is absolutely incredible especially the sound effects and music that has been used to make this scene pretty much perfect. One of the sound effects are used as the shooting really starts because we see Django jump through a door and sounds like a plane flying by in the distance which sounds like he is fast and is like a dart. A similar sound effect is used not long after for an incoming bullet as it sounds like a bomb being dropped from a plane in really old movies, the effect the incoming bullet has on the corpse that Django is using as cover has a similar effect as a bomb because blood explodes out of the body like a bomb had gone off. Another sound effect that is used, is when a bullet hits a corpse it sounds like a cartoon drowning sound which fits for all of the blood flying out of the bodies.There are a few slow motion moments in this shootout, one of which is focused on Django's face whilst he is screaming and firing his gun. The music that is used in this scene is a form of grime/rap but even though this film is a western, the music that has been added fits very well.
Doctor Strange - 2016
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01z_BcgFepw
In the last 30 seconds of this scene, the ancient one hits Dr. Strange in the stomach and creates an astral projection of his spirit and we see his spirit form out side of his physical body. This is an amazing use of CGI and green screening to have two versions of him in the same scene twice at the same time. This small scene gives the audience an example of all the amazing and hypnotizing editing that will unfold over the rest of the duration of this film. The astral projection has a slight goldish glow around the edges which could represent how pure his spirit is or just to show that it is not his physical form. The editing has been made to look mystic and that there are things far more powerful than we realize in the world.
