Django - editing in fight scene.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h3oSWHfVU8
The editing in this scene, is used to show two points of view - Django's and Candy's men.
This brutal fight includes some fast paced shots which matches the timing of some gun shots at the beginning. Each shot has it's own element of movement so something happens in each shot, whether someone is hit or goes through a window and that keeps up the momentum of the fight and engages the audience to carry on watching.
The reaction times within this fight are edited together brilliantly as well. Towards the beginning when Candy's men first walk through the door, shots of Django and Candy's men are played back and forth as Django shoots them. The editing in this scene also has other moments which gives the audience time to think before more action begins such as Django reloading his gun and finding a new one, and a quick shot of two maids holding hands to show how brutal the fight is.

The effect of slow motion is also used within this scene to exaggerate the amount of blood coming from the people shot, such as Candy's men by the door and hugely the body Django is using for cover which is shown a number of times in this scene. It has also been used to pin point certain situations such as Django looking at the gun in the dead man's pocket and him also taking cover with splinters of wood flying everywhere.
The use of editing slow motion effected shots and quick reaction shots (1.00 in) could have been used in humorous way as a certain person in this scene gets shot about three or four times as he screams in pain.
