This document discusses two editing techniques used in the trailer for "Horrible Bosses 2". A match on match shot is used to show the main character's feet and facial expressions as he walks into work, conveying through his expensive clothes and grooming that he is a hardworking businessman. An eye line match shot is also used around a table to switch between four characters having a conversation, with the camera at the same level each time to indicate their interest in what each other is saying.

- 1. Editing Techniques - I will identify scenes in a film and discuss two editing techniques. Trailer – Horrible bosses 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utriEZFno0E Match on match shot - When the male character is walking towards the reception, the cameraman/women does shots of his feet walking and then shoots his facial expressions. The director is trying to convey with the use of the match on match shot because he is a businessman so showing what shoes he is wearing and how he grooms himself gives away a bit of the storyline. So because he is groomed well and he is wearing expensive looking clothes then it indicates he is a hard working character. Eye line match shot – This happens when four males are sitting at a table, one man is sitting on the left side and the other three are on the right side. The camera stays at the same level when switching, this is called eye line match, and also shot reverse shot. This indicates they are having a conversation and they are interested in what each of the other characters are talking about.
