Abstract

Editing on film is used to select, cut and combine every shot the Director of Photography takes into a single unit in the form of film art. Over time, the application of methods to the editing process has developed, resulting in different cutting techniques and treatments in the process. One of them is the classical cutting technique which D.W. Griffith first introduced. Classical Cutting is an editing technique used to clarify, dramatize or underline something in a film. This technique is used to connect story sequences and present a new perspective from the dramatic side to show new details and emotional emphasis from a scene. This study focuses on whether the application of classical cutting techniques had succeeded in creating and building dramatic emphasis so that the audience receives information, especially emotions and also feels the tension in the movie "Maaf;".
