This is very interesting...it is how horror movies work...and magicians also.
 
haha, yeah i saw this, it's hilarious, love it... somebody posted it somewhere - totally got me the first time, but i was too worried about whether the white tennis shoes counted. i hate trick questions.
 
"In other news this little girl fell down the well. Check how cute and lovable she is. Check what her shaken parents and friends say. Off to aircraft carriers piling up where the bad people are. That little girl is so sweet. She was so scared while in that deep dark well. Check this new phone. That body part you first got your food from fell out of that singer's dress."
 
so you're saying the media - oh, hey, speaking of the news, that reminds me, did you hear they found somebody for fifty shades of shit AGAIN - wait, were we talking about something important? i really can't remember...

Ooo look really bad people over there, don't look here inside the grand white buildings.
 
...Curious, how is that used in horror - not a genre I dabble in much...

Just that they distract your attention in a way so that the cut gives you a little extra jolt or surprise.
If there were continuous editing shots on a certain part of the frame then a cut to a different part of the frame
might be more unexpected.

This is not really an example of that editing trick...but they do other things to make the reveal little bit of a shock.
Hard to believe this little film got turned into a feature just based on such a little short. The director actually had no
featue script for this movie. In fact he made the short just as practice for another movie he really wanted to make. And
he was sitting on this short film for a year before he had time and figured it was worth it to finish the post on it.

 
Wow, I dunno. I totally saw the you-know-what. I missed one toss but that may have been someone obscuring the person.

I thought the old trope was that if you wanted to hide something in a shot just add a girl in a bikini. That distracts most viewers.
