Editing Analysis

      Since I am a fan of History Channel’s original series “Vikings” I went on YouTube to find the best scene. I decided to pick Floki taking out Athelstan during religious conflict and fears for Athelstan taking his friend Ragnar away. From Vikings episode “Born Again” season three, Athelstan decides to step down from the Viking philosophy and rejoins Christianity due from a holy spirit. When Athelstan prays Floki came to shore and walks with rage, while Ragnar’s brother Rollo did not notice Floki walking by and noticed a dog running around instead. After Floki strikes Athelstan he breathes while feeling relief, then he picked up some of Athelstan’s blood and places it on his forehead. So I picked that one because the camera techniques and some of what’s been going on during the scene.
​      The scene mostly represents darkness and barbaric noises during rough cold times while actual drama was represented. The images represent a cold night with fire still lit to represent light and warmth. As for the camera shots they move and zoom at outdoor settings, while for the inside settings camera shots were more focused for close up shots and medium shots. The order of the shots seems to work, for both the indoor and outdoor settings each matches the duration then stays at the indoor setting on its third time. I don’t think there is a “right” to cut and it’s seamless because the order seems correct and I thought the scene was supposed to show whatever happens next.
