Deconstruction of Editing: Spectre

Deconstruction of Editing: Spectre 
I deconstructed editing in the 'Spectre' teaser trailer. In the trailer there are  various editing techniques which conform to genre identification of a drama, such as jump cuts and cross editing to sustain the narrative.

• In the teaser trailer we begin by seeing an establishing shot of a burnt down building on the River Thames and then cross cuts to a female actress. It's through this cross cutting that the teaser shows restrictive narrative as we hear diegetic dialogue to begin with but then converts into a narrative voiceover that speaks over alternating cross cutting shots from the film. 
• An example of this is the shot of the woman, and then cross cuts to the main actor indoors on his own whilst there is continuous editing of the voiceover throughout these shots

• Throughout the trailer we hear non diegetic eerie percussion music which darkens the atmosphere of the teaser trailer. In the first half of the trailer we see fade outs to cross cut shots and as the trailer fades in to a new shot we here a daunting bravado sound to create suspense and tension. This is foreshadowing of the plot but also remains a restrictive narrative as it makes the audience question what happens next by using audience theory.

• As we see the location of the main actor change to an area with snowy conditions we see an over the shoulder shot of the location with a new narrator's voice. The dialogue of the narrator also connotes to restrictive narrative, such as "you are a kite dancing in a hurricane, Mr Bond" which conforms to drama teaser trailers of giving one liners to foreshadow the plot of the film. Although, the use of montage editing acts as equilibrium to maintain the encryption of the narrative as we see the actor change from indoors in London to snowy surroundings on a lake. The cross cutting over layered with a narrator's voice as part of montage editing is also seen when cutting from a funeral to a shot of a car, as well as walking through a balcony full of people to create enigma.

• In the final stages of the teaser trailer we see continuous editing of the character looking down at this long table from an ariel crane shot which then cuts to a shot of the table. Whilst this is happening tension is created through the diegetic dialogue of the character as well as the sudden change in music which fills the everlasting silence with simple playing of xylophone. The tension is then released with a single cutaway of a black screen and the loud sound effect of a bullet being shot through glass. This subvert to common teaser trailer stereotypes as we see no change in editing speed, however the restrictive narrative with a sudden burst of tension conforms to common media images which can be linked with Tadorov's Theory of equilibrium and disequilibrium.
