Parallelism appears again in lines 17-18 when the author says, “Nerds are ostracized while athletes are idolized.” “Ostracized” and “idolized” exemplify parallelism in sentence structure because of their pronunciation and endings.

In comparison with the editing the sound helps understand the meaning of certain part such as the suspense of what would happen to Edward in the end. The costuming was a peculiar choice, it shows how in the town there was a lot of colors, but, Edward wore an all black steam punk like clothing showing how he was different. Therefore Tim Burton’s character, Edward, is a somewhat reflection of himself. Like Burton he has an imagination in order to create “art”, and the style of clothing is alike to that of Burton’s.

The primary editing motif is one of fast, repetitive cuts that allows Simon Pegg (Shaun, the protagonist) to express his inner narrative. It is through the effective use of pace and editing that the film is able to establish its own unique voice with which it tells a tale of an every day man who rises through an impossible situation and comes out victorious. The reoccurring motif of rapid and self-repeating edits is what allows us the audience to understand the world as Shaun sees it. The mind of a spaced out daydreamer is rarely if ever linear.

Parallel editing was present in the film wherein it was edited in a way that two scenes were alternating to make it appear that they were happening simultaneously (Lorber, 2010). High and low angled shots were also present, and panoramic shots as well. The editing that I liked the most was in the scene when The Machine Man was made to look like Maria. The surge of electricity in this particular scene and the orbits going up and down The Machine Man was what amazed me. It is shocking that in order for this to happen, the people responsible for editing had to film this frame by frame so imagine the hours, days, weeks or even months that were put into this particular scene.
