E.D motivated

This where in the film we see the main character or a location and we hear sound before we see what were meant to be looking at. It’s used a lot in horror where a sound is made and then another and we finally see what the sound is and where it coming from. It makes the audience feel tense and scare to know what happens next, it’s a big build up to then finally viewers get to see the object of terror. This technique is used to fully effect the audience in a particular way but there are loads of things to look at when using this technique; audience motivation, film motivation, story motivation and physical motivation are a few at what editors look at. Editors have to think about how they want the audience to feel motivated positively or negatively and what the overall effect is. If you was using this technique things to think about are why is this cut being made and to make sure you look at the characters motivation, these are key tools. Shots are carefully chosen to push the story along and the make the audience believe. It’s a build up to finally seeing what the character sees to make viewers more engrossed in the film. DW Griffith used motivation in his films when he used flashbacks, when he used this form it would usually reveal something the audience missed so we see the whole film them we find out what happened this is motivated editing.
