Effects of cut aways
we have done this post to show how different techniques can change the ways in which certain scenes can be perceived. one scene could be seen as a different genre depending on what ios to follow, it can create a different emotion.
This use of a cut away above makes the character on the left look crazy and sinister with the character smirking at a dead body. However the cut away below shows a characters reaction to another character making a funny face which makes the scene much more comedic and funny.
