THE EDITING OF THE RAIDERS SCENE

What did you notice about the way that the boulder scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark was edited? In your opinion, how did the editing play a key role in the opening of the film?

It was a very exciting and intense scene in the movie. There has been so many references to it in other movies and TV shows. It's definitely a classic scene from cinema history. The way this scene was cut together was very good. It didn't have too many jump cuts to confuse you as to what's going on. There is cuts only when necessary and it works well enough to keep us entertained on the movie. If there were too many cuts and we were to get confused then this scene wouldn't be as famous like it is. It was a great opening to a great film.
