Election

We looked at a sequence from the film Election (1999) by Alexander Payne. I really enjoyed the use of freeze framing when introducing the character of Tracy played by Reese Witherspoon. This coupled with Matthew Broderick's voice over immediately gives you a lot of information, such as, Broderick's character's attitude towards Tracy, Tracy's confidence within herself and Tracy's actual fallibility. I would like to learn how to freeze frame in Avid as I feel it could be a really good technique to know and could be easily transferable to suggest to my group in my drama narrative module.

The freeze frame is around 25 seconds into this clip.
