In previous research I have done in the last unit (Major Pre-Production) I came across the term 'Oh Fuck Moment'. This is a moment in a film or show where you make the audience think 'oh fuck' or something similar to what is happening on screen. These types of moments are brought on by shock, surprise, situations where a character suddenly realises they are in trouble etc.
There are two scenes in 'Roadman' I feel this type of edit would be suitable and effective for, the scene where Jimmy is dealing and realises the person he is selling drugs to attacked Billy, and when Billy calls Jimmy a roadman. Creating an 'Oh Fuck Moment' would highlight the shock Jimmy has when he realises the person who stole Billy's laptop is in front of him, and in the scene where Billy calls Jimmy a roadman the 'Oh Fuck Moment' will add emphasis on how shocking it is when Billy says this, and I intend on having this style of edit for these scenes. The video below shows exactly what an 'Oh Fuck Moment' is and is where I shall develop my edit style from.
