Continuity editing - Transitions that represent disability- "Diary of a call girl" clip.

At the beginning of the “Diary of a call girl” clip we see a variety of hard cuts used and reverse cuts used when the father is having a conversation with his son. Their body language shows that there is a sense of nervousness and anxiety. We see an eye line match transition when the woman looks at the boy then looks at the father, this shows awkwardness where the woman don’t know who to look at.

In the next part of the clip we see a match on action transition where the father picks up his son out the wheelchair and then we see the boy heading towards the bed, this shows that that the motion has been cut from one shot to another. Another match on action transition is used when the father places his son on to the bed. Their relationship is shown to be a very good one when we see the father kissing his son on his forehead wishing him good luck.

Further on in the clip we see an eye line match used when the boy is looking at the door with a sense of worry on his face then cuts to the girl locking the door. This shows vulnerability where if he was in trouble then his father couldn’t get to him. This draws the audience attention to make them feel sorry for the boy.

A cross cut is used in the next part of the clip. There is a change of location from the bedroom to the man getting into the van. There is a sense of anxiety and worry on his face when he looks up towards the room from his van. This shows that the father to son relationship is very strong and the father cares a lot about his son.

In the next part of the clip a shot reverse shot is used during a conversation with the boy and the woman. Few words are used when this conversation is progressing this shows that there is a lot of awkwardness in the room especially when the woman compliments the boys’ eyes, he looks very uncomfortable.

A jump cut is used further in the clip where the man is sitting in his van waiting for his son. The jump shot cuts out passages of time where we see the father fidgeting around in his car. This body language shows that he’s very restless and worried for his son.

A match on action transition is used in the final part of the clip when the woman takes the boys top off on the bed. The shot is cut from when she is taken his top off to when his top is fully off. This again shows awkwardness where the boy looks very unsure of what to do next.
