Transitions

This videoessay on transitions looks deeply at Edgar Wrights work, and how his work makes you into a more observant viewer. The examples he uses are of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, where he will often utilise the normal ‘shot/reverse shot’, but make it into his own thing, as the first shot will be in one setting and the reverse shot will be in a different setting, this seemlessly transitions the scene into the next scene, while the characters are still in the same place. The filmgoer is involved and engrossed at the same time, through visual poetry. The movie Scott Pilgrim is about a transitioning period in the main character’s life, which is why the transitions in the movie were so important.
