Scott Pilgrim Scene Analysis

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7vyrudcgOQ

For my scene analysis, I chose one of the final scenes of Scott Pilgrim vs The World directed by Edgar Wright. Edgar Wright is known for his extremely fast and frequent cuts that do a great job of not only telling a story visually but also adding humor. The scene starts to play out at a really fast pace, with a ton of cuts occurring within the span of 18 seconds. It feels much like a comic book, as if I’m looking at the movie panel-by-panel rather than frame-by-frame. The scene slows around the 30-second mark. There are quit cuts back and forth from Scott to his band members he’s addressing making a regular conversation seem somewhat frenetic yet not chaotic. Around the 1-minute mark a cut is used to exemplify the villain slamming his feet down, which helps give the feel that he’s much more intimidating. A fight scene starts around the 1:25 mark. The fight scene goes at a breakneck speed that is unrelenting with quick cuts happening faster than you can comprehend. The action feels almost super human thanks to this. Cuts are then used around the 1:33 mark, which take the action into literal panels so that the panel feel of the film now becomes literal. The sounds within the piece are very inline with that of a retro video game they fit the shots perfectly. A red aesthetic is used in the latter half of the scene whereas a bluer aesthetic is used in the beginning. This transition of blue to red occurs during the fight scene. There some smooth cuts but most are very fast and hard, but it never takes you out of the action.I chose one of the final scenes of Scott Pilgrim vs The World directed by Edgar Wright.
