Effects

These shots, which open the film, establish the setting: a small provincial town in Japan, where life unfolds peacefully.

NB : When we identify an effect of meaning produced by the editing, we are already entering the realm of interpretation. The answers to this exercise propose a reasoned interpretation, but they are not the only ones possible. In the context of the whole film, some excerpts may take on additional meanings.

In the following excerpt, identify the type(s) of effect(s) produced by the editing.
