How does the editing in Saw 2 construct the meeting about the relationship between characters?



The Saw 2 trailer has no continuity as it purposely uses a variety of quick shots from the film and recaps back to the previous film.

Flashbacks are used so people can remember what happened previously and can see that it's a sequel before the title of the film is revealed at the end. It is in non chronological order so that it creates the enigma code and the audience want to watch the film so that they fully understand what is going on.

Jump cuts are used throughout the trailer to create the effect of distortion. They also lead to the enigma code because they give a sense of confusion and make you want to know what is happening.

Cutaways are used in the trailer because you see the CCTV camera and then see the people on the CCTV camera. This is used because the audience want to know what is on the CCTV camera and then a shot is shown of the people on the camera.

Eye line match is used to show one woman and then see the woman she is looking at. This is used so that we wonder who the woman is speaking to.

Montage editing is used throughout the whole of the trailer as all the images are unconnected and are used to create the meaning of uncertainty and confusion. This makes the audience want to watch the film to find out what is going on.

Match on action is used when we see the police officer and then we see him pull the cloth of the CCTV camera. This is used so that we wonder what the police officer is doing or about to do.
