In this clip screened in the lecture from the Coen brothers’ ‘Blood Simple‘ describe what is happening in terms of the edits specifically in terms of the audio and video.

In the scene of Blood Simple, clean and sharp editing of video and audio is used. In the video they are all clean cuts from one shot to the next, never using transitions such as fading in or out. The audio is also very matter of fact, each movement has a sound, from the ruffle of a suit when a character moves to the obvious clunk of the lighter on the table. A large majority of the sounds used were foley and would have been recored and interred during postproduction.
