In the 20th century, cinema had no way of editing films , films were usually continous pieces of parts of the film that were recorded previously and shown in cinemas.
until there had been sergie eisenstein a man who was a pioneering soviet fim producer who is still considered the father of "montage", montage - a technique used in filmaking editing in which a series of short shots are edited into a sequence to condense space,time and the information.
editing answers for film analysis
There was approximately 130 times that the footage is cut and the camera angle changes dozen of times to potray different feelings but the reason why there is so much cutting is because, it seems more realistic as in reality we change our view everyday to different angles so we connect more to the movie and are more engaged but are more likely to understand what is going on if its not just seen from one angle.
I believe that the clip i had watched from the film was highly fragmented it had constantly been changed from one person's view to another to complete different angles also the camera shots had changed very quickly from a birds eye view, mid shot, long shot,jump cut and cross cuts had been used on a regular basis.
the cutting is doen so quick thaat it not only compresses time but completely builds up an image or an ideo on its own in the viewers mind. editing matches refer to these techniques that joinnbut also divide two shots by making soem form of a connection between them.
The point of cutting the scenes is to stimulate and grasp the viewers attention but to also explore an emotion in depth, the emotion being sadness but joyful at the same time, as in the clip you can see that the chicken is running away from a group of men with guns which instantly makes the viewer scared for the wellbeing of the chicken as people can see it as barbaric but also animal cruelty as the animal should be killed as humanly possible. but joyful at the same time as they can't seem to get a hold of the chicken who is as cunning as it is fast. the cutting does not seem as manipulative as we can immidately grasp what is going on from the images that are not confusing the viewer as the cutting is done in the right moment but also the planning of what sequence would go next in line can be very clear as to what might happen next.
the presentation for the film was the rather objective but also subjective as the director was clearly trying to get the point of the story across but not functional as it would of been as it had clearly become a frenzy by the end of it.the style of the editing was cutting to continuity as it had become rather repetitive and continously cut and edited to fit the directors view of the how the film should go.
