Editing:
Cut edits used
Hours of stock footage edited down and matched what the boy being interviewed said that being bored and seeing nun stood around.
Priest: Entire interview audio and filmed him he looks very tired, quiet roads ahead signifies loneliness, the lighting of light then dark on the priest's face is a dramatic affect.
Killing of the nun: door, the heart beat speeds up and then slows down and then stops when dead. Hitting with the rock and then stabbing alongside the dog barking. Breathing and whispering. Then the church bell singly strikes at death.
When Manson fans are on screen they use orchestral music for juxtaposition.
