Editing Devices used in Bane Vs Batman Scene- Mr Moreton

In the Scene from the Dark Knight Rises were Bane meets Batman for the first time. The editing devices used are Rhythm, Jump Match, Match Shot and Long Shots

A Rhythm is used in the scene as the editor has cut the scene so it goes to a different view point every time a punch hits. The effect of this is that it creates pace and power as the cutting helps you feel how quick the punches are being thrown. The effect on the audience is that it makes them feel as if they are part of the fight as each time a punch is landed the camera changes to a different perspective.

A Match Shot is used in the scene when Bane climbs down the chain with the camera shot at first coming from above and then the next shot coming form below. The effect of this is that it creates a fluidity through the scene and keeps the pace of it going. It also shows that Bane is relentless in his pursuit of Batman and will not stop. The effect on the audience is that it makes them feel more weary of the power that Bane hold and how he can use it. Also having the editing device makes them feel worried for batman as they see the power of Bane.

A Long Shot is used near the start of the fight , the long shot is when the editor leaves the action going from one view for a long time. The effect of this can vary as it depends on what is going on in the scene whether its a fight or a conversation. The effect the Long edit has on the audience is that it creates lots of tension and will make the audience sit on the edge of their seats during the scene. It also creates a sense of anticipations you don't know when the next shot or scene will come from, this is vital in this scene as you don’t know when the fight will end.  

A Jump Cut is used to midway through the fight after Bane had climbed down the chain. It is used in the punch Bane gives Batman. The effect of this is to show the speed and power of Bane compared to Batman and the use of the Jump Cut really emphasizes this as it cuts mid punch from a over the shoulder view of Batman to one of Batman that gives it true speed and fluidity. The effect on the Audience is that it makes them feel the power of Banes punch just from his Punch and makes them feel true empathy for Batman.

In conclusion in the scene Batman vs Bane there is a lot of different editing techniques used and most will give the effect in this scene of Power and fluidity (Rhythm, Match Shot) which gives contrast to the empathy you feel from the rest (Long Shot, Jump Cut, Rhythm
