Reigate Road Analysis

We used Montague editing for Reigate Road. Montage editing is the juxtaposition of unconnected images to create meaning.

As it is a Montague editing we used the x-ray effect to give that distorted feeling. As well as the black and white effect to make it looks like as she is getting watched by CCTV with a long shot through the hallway also we wanted a dark themed background. From our clip you can tell we filmed it in a school or college environment.

We used the fast forward effect here to give information to the audience that something is going to happen. We filmed this around the woods, because, we thought that the woods is a very mysterious scenery and thought it will fit well for are Montague.

We used the green lime effect which added a creepy mysterious look about the clip and the character as she looks like she's curled up in a ball and her clothing is black, the colour black associates with evil, and mystery which will give the audience information that she acts inhumanly.

Since Montague editing usually has themes, we decided too shoot this scenes as it connotes loneliness as the individual is by herself. The fact that we cant see her face gives information that she’s not an easily approachable person. We wasn't able to edit this clip as well as we could as you can still see the light of the sun on her jumper we tried to change the saturation of the colours to give it a dark scene.

In our Reigate Road opening sequence e used a lot of non-digetic sounds such as the phone breaking up sound, strong winds, metal hitting together, we done this to make our audience feel uncomfortable and to add that mysteriousness effect. We also used digetic sound by using footstep and students speaking around the corridors but you couldn't see them, we done this because it gives actual sound which the character and audience be able to hear.
