Bonnie and Clyde/Editing – George Blake

Inside Bonnie and Clyde, the editing style used is continuity, this is because scenes take place after another, however within some occasional scenes, the film contains discontinuity as jump cuts are used. An example of this can seen with Clyde being injured after a fight with a shop owner, in the next scene however his wounds have cleared.

This has been intentionally done to create the effect of time passing between the scenes, providing through visual context why Clyde’s wounds have healed.
