Different types of editing used in Psychological Thrillers
Montage- the technique of selecting, editing, and putting together separate clips of film to form a continuous whole. This is usually used to show a progressive build of suspense or create an overview of what is going to happen.
Fast-paced editing- Fast-paced editing is a film editing technique which refers to several consecutive shots that are usually 3 seconds or less. This can be used to convey high levels of suspense or a chase scene in a psychological thriller.
Flashback- This is when, during a scene, a character has thoughts about a significant time in their life or a scene that has importance, specific to the storyline. This would happen in a psychological thriller when they look back on dark times or when times were better than they are currently.
Jump cut- This is a type of editing that involves an abrupt transition from one scene to another. This would happen in a Psychological Thriller with an intention to disorientate the viewers or scare the audience when something appears suddenly or moves unnaturally on the screen. The example given shows numerous jump cuts.
