Different editing techniques:

Cut-away: A cutaway shot is the interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else. It is usually, although not always, followed by a cut back to the first shot, when the cutaway avoids a jump cut.

Wipe: A wipe is a type of film transition where one shot replaces another by travelling from one side of the frame to another or with a special shape.

J-cut: This is a technique use near the beginning of a scene the audience listening to the actor.

L-Cut: An L cut, also known as a split edit, is an edit transition from one shot to another in film or video, where the picture and sound are synchronized but the transitions in each are not coincident.

Action Cut: Matching on action is when film editing and video editing techniques happens where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action. A common example is a man walking up to a door and reaching for the knob.

Narrative theories.

	PROS	CONS
The Equilibrium Theory	·         Always sets a simple mood for the movie. ·         Set the tone of effect. ·         Easy for the audience to follow as the movie goes along.	·         Becomes predictable ·         May seem like it is giving too much away.
Binary opposites	·         Really basic for the audience to follow. ·         In films you are able to pick a side.  E.g. Good or Evil.	·         No new excitement ·         Too original
Enigma Code	·         This type of film is able to grab the audience’s attention straight away. ·         Audience are able to get involved and can follow the story line with the characters making it more exciting.	·         Not enjoyable because audience have to concentrate to understand it.

Verisimilitude: The appearance of being true or real

The opening scene starts with a low angle shot of Tom Cruise leaning above a person, in this shot the lighting is very bright in the background, however it suddenly changes to the title sequences where the motion of the picture movement is very fast with dim lighting and the words in white with a flash effect. A lot of cut shots take place from the title to the woman in the police office and the computers searching for a matched person or suspect. Quick close ups and extreme close ups are used during the build up of the opening title sequence. Customers worn are mainly casual suits from the main characters, apart from the Air hoist who wears a uniform. The facial expression is addition to the suspense building up in the opening scene and is also use to increase urgency. Setting at the very beginning is quite hard to identify but we understand he may be at the police station; another setting becomes clear when the character is on the plane listening to a message. Props used are like the many computers etc.  

This constructs with the genre of this film because it has drama, a build up of suspense and expected action. This opening scene can very easily draw in the attention of the audience with the quickness off motion, different sounds and clips put in to it.
