editing

In the diary of a call girl, the scene looked at was one of Belle (the call girl) and one of her customers (Blake) as they meet and greet. This isn’t just a normally customer as the scene shows the difficulties/challenges of Blake’s disabilities as he is wheelchair bound.
Throughout the first few seconds of the clip lots of transition shots take place also immediately one after another. This continuity editing may not be as noticeably to the untrained eye. These transition shots have a tendency to show all three characters back and fourth with emphasis on the father and son. This might be show the fact that Belle has to look up and down at both in an awkward manner. After belle has left the room to let the pair become comfortable two match-on-action shots occur, as Blake is taken out of his wheelchair and secondly as he is placed on the bed. The match-on-action shot is used to neutralise the effect that there has been a cut.
Whilst Blake’s father leaves there is a transition shot which leads to a medium close up of Blake on the bed. Here his vulnerability is shown at full force as he seems anxious as his dad moves closer to the door. As Belle locks the door an eyeline match shot is shown. This shot shows fragility of Blake’s confidence. Shot reverse-shot is then used during the conversation between Belle and Blake, after she offers him a drink to cut the tension from the situation.
A cross cutting shot then emerges as the scene of Blake’s father returning to the van is shown. Here is where the fathers anxiety comes into play and he tries passing time. Before he actually steps in the van there is an eye line match shot showing the room the father has just left his son in.
The last scene and part of the clip is back to the awkward pair in the apartment. As the clip ends lots of transition shots are shown, here also as Blake’s top is taken off the emphasis is on his fidgeting and once more his anxiety.
