Paper- Sequence Analysis
Length: 1000 words (or more)
Select a sequence from Steven Soderbergh's The Limey (1999) and analyze the editing techniques within the context of the film as a whole. Breakdown the sequence into its basic pieces (shots and cuts). What is the dramatic intent behind the editing choices in the film? How does the editing of the sequence support or contradict that intent? What specific techniques are employed in this scene? How does this affect the viewer's experience and understanding of the situation and the narrative?
You must cite two sources (any citation format) in order to back up your analysis, including the texts provided in class. Feel free to utilize screenshots from the film to illustrate your points.
