Goodfellas- Editing analysis

I watched Goodfellas recently and I looked at the techniques ans style I came across in the film.

This is a brief list of the techniques used:

1. Film stills are used to introduce chararacters with the aid of the voice over
2. First person narrator from different points of view, both male and female which adds realism, and encorages the audience to join the narrative
3. Fast paced edit style is dones by constant jump cuts from one event to another , with the narrator anchoring the meaning of the event
4. Lots of long camera movements such as pans and following the subject matter, to give a POV effect to engage the reader
5. Use of contrapuntal music is used to connote
6. The narrative is non-linear
7. Sound bridging is used to signify the deviance of characters
8. A repetitive montage of shots to signify confusion and distortion
9. The use of a red hue effect, signifies the rage and emotions of an angry character
10. Slow motion effect is used to highlight the man puts the gun in the womans hand
