Bonnie and Clyde (1967)

Bonnie and Clyde final scene:

Here is the ending scene from Bonnie and Clyde and I found that this scene uses good editing despite it being an old film. In this scene there is lots of cuts to motion which is important for editing as it makes the footage look seamless.



At 0:41 in this scene we can see the fast cuts as something action packed and dramatic happens, these cuts are showing eye contact between two character right before an important event in the story.
There is other audio other than gun shot sounds and most of the cuts do not focus on the men firing the cuts, attention is drawn to the character being shot. As the guns are being fired the cuts get faster because this signifies that something dramatic has happened.

At 0:48 in this scene the cuts begin to get slower and I think these slower cuts were made because the viewer has already seen how fast the gun shots hit them at 0:41. We see the character fall to the floor in slower motion which shows emotion because he has been killed, so these slower cuts help signify the death and they bring emotional impact on the viewer.
