Editing:

Slow paced {during the opening of the sequence}
Zoom {from close up shot into an extreme close up of the sun}
Framing {the religious lady is framed within the centre with a slight tilt upwards - which indicates she has more power than the other people within this scene. there is a strong white light in the background which could suggest she is an angel complimenting the words she is speaking}

Fast Paced editing {during the acid trip}

Sound:

Dialogue {the main characters in conversation - diegetic}
