One area you will need to write about in your exam is editing - and gender.
First of all - recap what constitutes editing.
Then look at each of the sections in this clip from the Game of Thrones. For each section of clip, complete the following tasks:
- Identify the editing techniques used in the clip
- Don't forget about post-production editing (soundtrack, sound effects, etc.)
- Explain the purpose of the editing technique in relation to the representation of gender. Does it reveal anything about:
- Stereotypes/anti-stereotypes?
- Relationships?
- Characters?
- Is it manipulating audience perception? What perception? How?
- Don't forget about other purposes of editing as a whole - narrative, pace, rhythm, etc. How can these link to gender?
- Look particularly at characters 'thinking' and 'fighting'.
- 0:00-0:27 - start of clip to where Jaime Lannister says "Which will she choose?"
- 0:27-0:36 - Brienne of Tarth and Jaime Lannister walk along the bridge to where he sits down in the middle of the bridge
- 0:48-1:00 - Jaime Lannister says, "I never used to get corns!" to where he steals Brienne's sword
- 1:03-1:22 - Brienne removes her sword to where they look at each other over their swords eye to eye
- 1:39-1:50 - Jaime Lannister attacks Brienne to where he pushes Brienne backwards over the bridge
- 2:00-2:30 - Jaime Lannister holds his sword towards Brienne to Brienne kicking Jaime in the gut
- 2:31-2:48 - Jaime says "If you were willing to hurt me..." to Jaime leaning back on the wall with his sword out
- 2:49-3:11 - Jaime strikes out from the wall to Brienne standing over the fallen Jaime
- 3:13-3:42 - Jaime gets up off the floor to Jaime looking back at Brienne
- 3.45-4.05 - Jaime says "Let us go..." to the men on horses proceeding over the bridge
