Five Master Edits in Film

I choose to use Incredibles 2 for my assignment because Disney is known for its animation and editing.

Contrast
This clip was a perfect example of contrast because it showed two completely different situations. The video first starts by focusing on Jack Jack vigorously fighting with the raccoon that invaded their trash can. After their big fight the movie cuts to inside the house where Bob is peacefully sleeping on the couch. The contrast here is the difference between the crazy fight and calm sleep


Symbolism
For my symbolism clip I choose to use a clip from the video where Jack Jack notices the raccoon. While Bob is trying to put Jack Jack to sleep, Jack Jack notices an image on the tv screen. The image was of a burglar in an old time film. The burglar had large strips on as well as an eye mask. Jack Jack then notices that there is a creature out the window. The creature also has stripes and an eye mask. This leads Jack Jack to think the raccoon is a burglar. The symbolism in this clip is the burglar and the raccoon which both have invaded others privacy.


Simultaneity
This clip shows two different actions happening at the exact same time. Specifically, this clip shows elastic girl trying to save a women. It shows them jumping out of a plane and the plane exploding. While this hectic scenario was occurring, Bob was fixing the kids breakfast. You can see when the clip cuts back to the house, there is a waffle ready to be served. The scenarios that were happening at the same time would be elastic girl saving the women and bob preparing breakfast for the kids


Leit Motif
For Leit Motif,  I used a clip of a timer that was attached to a bomb. Clips like these are often used in movies to signal that time is running out or that something bad will happen next. In this case, the timer was shown to let the audience know that the building was about to explode at any second
