I chose this clip because I really like the way it is edited, the way the camera shakes to emphasize the fear shown by the soldiers really creates an atmosphere at the very start of the clip. It puts the audience in a position where they can really consider what might have been going through the soldiers heads at this time. The camera angles and lighting are chosen carefully to keep the enemy anonymous and unseen, this makes them seem less human and enhances the fear of this unknown enemy. Another aspect I particularly liked was where everything slowed down and the sound completely cuts out, this is an extremely effective edit and creates tension, fear and isolates the character from the scene, allowing both the character and the audience to really take in the horror happening in the scene. The transitions are clean and smooth, with a good mix of both shaky camera shots and still shots really makes the audience feel a part of the action. Although not to do with editing another effective aspect of this scene is the background noise, it makes it hard to hear the characters and really creates a feeling of chaos and terror.
