I analysed a film clip game cutscene to find all the editing techniques and the lighting types used within the clip.
I decided to look at Super Mario Galaxy’s opening cutscene: cutscene starts at 1:25
The cutscene is slow-paced and easy to understand, and fast-paced during action moments like when buildings are getting destroyed by the airships. The scenes jump from one to another; there is a match cut used with the flag where it fades away as the camera moves through it to reveal a new scene where an airship moves towards peach’s castle. There are many different camera angles and zoom-ins used. The lighting almost stays the same throughout the scene.
