Watching this amazing episode of The X Files has really interested me with more sci-fi knowledge than ever before. In this series, we see lots of uncanny yet sometimes imaginable things such as aliens, ghosts, and even paranormal activities in this mystery world. This one episode titled as ‘the Kill Switch” explains Mulder and Scully’s investigation of a mass shooting in a diner leads them to believe that one of the victims known as Donald Geldman who had been sitting at a table working on his laptop computer is a target of an unknown assassin. Their clues leads them to find a hacker who informs them about an artificial intelligence program created by Gelman that has deadly intentions. One of my favorite editing scenes was when the hacker aka Esther, realizes that she and the investigators are being locked on. First we see her face in a shocked position due to her finding the targeting system activating.
These scenes shows the locking system zooming in on their location while skipping back and forth to the point of view of Mulder. This adds huge tension, fear, and panic to them as well as the viewers.
