Today the students at Staffordshire were taught about how edits can be used to move location. The students were shown the video "Move - STA Travel Australia". The video shows how you can use cut in motion to move the story along and how much of the scene you can change without it ruining the pace. The audience mainly focus on the face of the man, by this staying in the same place in each of the shots it keeps the continuity through the video even though the location and the clothes change it still impacts on the audience.
Another example of this type of effect is through the video created by Save The Children, a charity organisation which made a video to support children affected in Syria. The video shows a young girl for a few seconds per day for a year and the audience see how her life changes from being stereotypically normal to being in a living hell in the Syrian War.
Both these films display the editing technique of cutting in motions and using match cuts which allows for easy transition between locations.
