Hello,
I'm studying film and television editing and in my Master's thesis I'm focusing on film time: the way we show the passing of time in films in order to portray the characters' subjective perception of time and their emotional state.
One film that I have already analyzed is Requiem for a Dream by Darren Aronofsky, where the montage sequences in which characters are taking drugs have a deeper meaning besides being aesthetically pleasing and creative. The characters all have a dream that they cannot achieve, becase they are lost in their endless routine, from which they cannot escape. The type of fast, repetitive (could maybe also call it leitmotif) editing is one of the key elements to portray their emotional states and their subjective perception of time during their rituals.
I am looking for similar examples in other films, where an emotional state or subjective perception of time is portrayed mainly with editing and would really appreciate your suggestions.
Kind regards
