Conventions and Techniques- Motivated JW

Motivated editing is in almost every video or film, it is hard for the editor not to use this technique. An example of motivated editing would be if an actor/actress was to look at and object then the camera cut straight to any camera angle of that object. This creates can create tension alongside some tense music. Motivated editing usually starts with dialogue, a reaction or a music cue. Successful motivated editing will not break continuity. An example of motivational editing could be that in Taken 1 Liam Neeson wants to avenge his daughter’s death so the editor shows flash backs of good memories that he has had with his daughter to show the viewer why he is so motivated to protect her.
