Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
1. There is little cutting in the film because the director uses this to convey emotions that the characters are feeling.
2. The shots are relatively lengthy and give the audience time to establish character and analyze what certain reactions of characters tell about the story and other characters.
3. The point of cutting in each scene is to create suspense and also to clarify. The director cuts in the beginning when Mr. Smith says a certain word to people reacting frantically which tells the audience a little bit of the story.
4. The cutting isn’t very manipulative but the director does cut at specific points that introduce new ideas into the story.
5. There is a very real rhythm established by the cutting.
6. You can’t really see the personality of the director from the cutting made.
7. Cutting is mainly regulated to a moderate amount. The director only cuts to reveal information when needed.
8. The style of editing is definitely cutting to continuity because the director uses cutting to reveal further information about a topic happening in real time.
