In chapter 5 of Cuffs there is a lot of editing known as cross cutting where the camera quickly cuts from one shot to another even when one of the shots is still happening. In this case, Cuffs uses it when there is two or more characters on the screen and cross cuts while one is talking. It is first used in the first scene at the police station where the owner of the newsagent is being questioned about his son. The camera cuts between the owner and Jo while the owner is talking. This cross cutting helps us see the reactions of Jo as the owner is talking even if her reactions are a little plain.

Jess' question: Chapter 5 How is editing used to create meaning in this chapter? Mark 5/10 (you get the terminology wrong and were not in Classroom when I tried to explain).
ReplyDeleteThere are reaction shots (but not cross cutting) in the scene where Jo tries to persuade the shop keeper to let her interview his son. The reaction shots show Jo smile and nod, as if she understands his concerns and knows that she cannot defend his accusations. By 'plain' do you mean that she does not have any excuse for police inaction?
