Waking Ned Devine 

In this film, the editing style was generally smooth. It was very clear and easy to follow with almost no shaky scenes or jump cuts whatsoever. To be more precise, the editing wasn't noticeable. Which can be a very good thing when the film editor intends for a smooth editing style.

Catalyst: Jackie brings chicken dinner over to Ned's house only to find Ned dead from shock, with the winning lottery ticket still in his hand.

Mid Point: Micheal and Jackie fool the lottery guy into believing Micheal is really Ned, and they are given the check.

Climax: "Ding, dong, the witch is dead!" Lizzie makes her way to a phone booth on the outskirts of town to all about the lottery fraud, except as she is in the booth, the lottery guy sneezes, swerves, and hits her phone booth, pushing it off a cliff and killing Lizzie.

The music used throughout the film helped to clarify to the audience what emotion they were supposed to be feeling at various parts in the story. However, the most memorable use of music was the intense violin solo that took place parallel to Lizzie being hit and falling off the cliff. The music was loud and intense at the party and as the lottery observer was driving down the road up until the point when he sneezes and hits Lizzie. At that point a cord on the violin breaks and Lizzie falls down the cliff in slow motion as the last violin note drags out all the way until she finally hits the ground.

Playing the violin at the village party was an excellent scene to parallel with Lizzie's death. The music could drift over into both scenes, making the visualization of Lizzie's death spot on. It was a very intense scene that was only improved by the broken violin cord and the impossibly long final note that took place at Lizzie fell down the cliff.

Overall, it was a great film. The entire film played a role in building up everything for a very intense climax, and then to quickly resolve in a pleasant manner.
