Oscar Film Editing - Mad Max Editing Analysis 3 (Part 4)

This is yet another great scene in the film that shows Sixel's expertly well crafted edit. This opening scene sole purpose is too introduce us to our protagonist and the world he lives in. They start giving us this intro by giving us audio context over the opening credits making us know why this world is how it is. This introduction also showcases who our main character is perfectly using voiceover from the protagonist over the starting action allowing us to know his past and what his torments/issues are. They also show us quick flashbacks (cutaways) to his past while also showing us his current predicament giving us a even closer incite into him. There is also a quick use of jump cut in this scene when he is getting his car showing that he moving quickly to try to get away faster. The fade out in the middle of the scene is used to show that we are moving location from out in the wastes to Immortal Joe's Fortress.
