Baby Driver and Match Cuts

Today in class we continued watching the film Baby Driver, so we could analyze the different types of scene cuts throughout the film. One cut I analyzed today was during a shooting scene, where the director decided to use jump cuts to intensify the scene. For example, when Baby was entering the Butcher House and the two sides started shooting at each other, which then caused jump cuts to be added in. I talked about this on my notecard that we were required to finish by the end of class today. Also in the beginning of the class we talked about the most important parts of a match cut. The first component we looked at was Audio, then character placement, followed by dominant features, and then finally video. We then watched the Mission Impossible trailer, we did this to see how the director set up the trailer to be in sync with the music’s beat in the background. Mr. Rivers wanted to show us this because later on in class we saw the same example in Baby Driver. In tomorrow’s class we are continuing watching the film Baby Driver to keep learning about the different types of cuts in the movie.
