1. The method of time-space conversion: In the
previous silent film, the switching of different scenes was realized by fading in and out, circled in and circled out. But the film uses direct switching, which gives the audience the feeling of being simpler.
2. The originator of the genre film. The originator of the
police and gangster film, created an important genre film in the late Hollywood era: Western films.
3. The editing techniques of the
previous movies are usually the "story" of a scene before switching to the next scene. This is not the case in some scenes of the film. For example, in the last 7 minutes, when the child rescued the sirens, he switched to the scene where the police danced. After a while, the sirens showed up and told the police that the train was robbed and the police were dispatched. The part that successfully rescued the sirens was omitted, and the audience "brained".
