The film that I have chosen is called “Lord of War” and is directed by Andrew Niccol. In this phenomenal film, the producer Andrew Niccol presents Yuri Orlov who is played by Nicholas Cage as an arms dealer who confronts the morality of his work as he is being chased by an Interpool agent Danie struwig, who will do anything in his power to bring down the virtuous looking crime lord.  Andrew Niccol, uses editing techniques throughout the nine shots in the key frame. Four of the shots have been presented in a factory, one of them on a cargo and the rest four in a less economically developed looking area because he wanted to establish the genre as well show how the film will be narrated.
The sub genres of the film are crime and war. This is because the director illustrates Yuri Orlov as n arms dealer who sells treacherous weapons to dictators in less economically developed countries, where having the most weapons means having the most power. For instance, in the film Yuri Orlov sells arms to Joseph Mohmoh a notoriously incept leader during the Sierra Leona civil war.         
Editing is used in the first shot within the key frame to establish the narrative of the film as well as who is the protagonist. I know this because the typography has a text saying “NICOLAS CAGE”. The fact it is in capitals indicates this person is a major performer in the film. This shot was taken at a very slow pace because the director wanted to let the audience know who the main character is.
The second shot within the key frame was taken at a high angle, in the factory at a very prolonged speed because the director wanted to show the pressure machine, which may relate to the robustness of the bullet to the pressure machine. The fast pace, shot helps establish the genre of crime because it foreshadows the film will have to do with bullets, and there will be a slot of presence of it.
Moving on, the transition of cut has been used in the third shot from moving of loads of uranium to a bullet facing up. The effect of the cut is that in a way it tells the audience all that power of uranium is put in one small object, but is very powerful. In addition, the low angle shot of this makes it look very big but realistically it isn’t.  In addition, typography is used in this shot; it states “Lord of War”, (the film name) in a bold font. This may illustrate the strength of the bullet as it is in front of the bullet.
Furthermore, continuity editing is used to the build up of the fourth key frame because system of clear cutting from the first shot of being in the factory to the pile of bullets in shot four has been used in order to present a clear linear narrative for the audience. Also, in this shot typography is shown in a bold font, introducing “BRIDGET MOYHAN.” The fact it is written in capitals may suggest this actress is important in the film.
The fifth shot is opened up using the transition of fade in, from a black screen to a Russian soldier starring at a cargo of bullets on a boat. This may establish the genre of the film is to do with war because we can see soldiers as well as bullets, which are used by them in their weapons.
Match on action is used in shot 6, which now shows those bullets that which were previously in the hands of soldiers now in civilians hands. This is conveying information that those bullets that were first at the hands of Russian soldiers are now in the hands of possible civilians or men with no real experience of weapons. Therefore, this is juxtaposition as the shot went from bullets from the hand of trained and formal soldiers to un trained and ruthless ‘soldiers’ in a less developed country.
Furthermore, match on action is also  used in shot 7 to illustrate the genre of the film and to establish a possible recurring setting that will be used in the film. For instance, the shot cuts off with the bullets in a box, but then on the floor and someone picking one bullet up. The bullets being on the floor may represent that bullets lying around in that setting is casual and normal, this may indicate the genre maybe to do with war and particularly in a less developed country.
Moreover, in shot eight and nine editing is used to establish the genre clearly and outlines the narrative from the opening sequence. The shot goes from montage editing to continuity editing because the director wants to give us a clear narrative that powerful bullets were being made and then sent into the hands of dangerous people and whilst in the hands of dangerous people vulnerable people e.g. civilians are affected.
