Research on editing techniques

EDITING TECHNIQUES


Film editing is the stage in the film-making process, in which sound and images are organised to construct an over all narative.


Editing can be used to construct representations by:
  • The pace of editing (fast paced - young, energetic, slow-old)
  • Contrasting characters or settings ( crosscutting, shot/reverse shot)
  • Creating links between characters or settings.
  • Chowing us what a character is looking at.
  • Showing us what a character is thinking about.


Cutting

The process where one shot is replaced on screen immediatly by the next.

Crosscutting

Crosscutting is the editing that alternates shots of two or more lines of action occurring in different places, usually simultaneously.



Fade out/ Fade in

Fade out is when the scene fades out to a blank screen. On the other hand fade in is when the scene fades in from a blank screen.



Super imposition

This editing technique is when an image is placed on top of another image. there for, Two distinct shots are played at the same time, but one on top of the other one.

Slow motion

Slow motion is the technique through which time appears slowed down. The slow motion technique regularly used in cinema is the process of  "overthinking" which entails a camera capturing an image at a rate faster than it will be projected.

Long take

Long take is a single continuos shot that does not cut for an unusual length of time. For example, over a minute.


Other:

Fast paced/slow paced editing


When the editing is fast paced the action will cut rapidly from shot to shot with each shot lasting only a few seconds. slow paced editing will involve limited cutting from shot to shot.

Dissolve


This is when one scene or image gradually moves into another scene, and it is a smooth transition. So the next shot fades in.

Graphic match


a similar shape or color linking two consecutive shots. This cut's intention is to skip forward or backward in time, while maintaining a continuity of action and creating a metaphorical link between the images that bookend the cut.

Action match


Cuting on the action is an editing tecnique where the editor cuts from one angle of a shot to another, while maintaining the continuity of the action in the scene.

Eyeline match


Cutting to show what the character is looking at. this editing technique can be used to make the viewer think like if it were the character.

Jump cut


Is a transition between two shots which appears to "jump" due to the way the shots are framed in relation to each other. Jump cuts are usually caused by framing which is quite similar.

Research on camera angles

Imagen
Camara angles High angle A high angle, shows the object or person from above. for example the camera is angled down towards the person or object. this creates an effect of diminishing the character, making them appear less powerful . Low angle The low angle shot, shows a character or object from below, making them feel more powerful and dominant. The background of this shot tends to be sky or ceiling, this adds desorientation to the viewer. Eye-level angle This angle is the most common, being the real-world angle that we are all used to, it shows subjects as we would expect to see them in real life. It is a fairly neutral shot. Canted angle A camera angle which is deliberatly slanted to on side, sometimes used for dramtric effect to help portray unease, desorientation desperate action etc.

Research on camera shots

Today in class we have look at different camara shots. CAMERA SHOTS Camara angles and movements combine to create a secuence of images, just as words, word order and punctationcombineto to make the meaning of a sentence. Yu need a straightfordward set of key terms to described them. Extreme wide shot the view is so far fron the sugect that isn`t even visible.  Often used as an stablishing shot. Very wide shot The subjet is visible (barely), but the emphasis still on placing him his enviroment. Wide shot The subject up the full frame, or at least a much as comfortably possible. Mid shot Shows some part of the subject in more detail while still giving  an impression of the whole subject. Medium close shot half way between a mid shot an close up. Close up A certain feature or part of the subject takes up the whole frame. Extreme Close up The ECU gets right in and shows extreme detail. Cut in

Research on sounds

SOUNDS FILM SOUND AND MUSIC Sound, voice and music are integral to most films and/or film viewing experiences. Even the earliest silent films were often shown with live musical accompaniment. Sound enhances the imaginary world, it can provide depth, establish character and environment, introduce a new scene or cue the viewer to important information. We have organized the page according to the following categories: sound source, sound editing and film music. SOUND SOURCE Diegetic vs. Non-Diegetic Sound Diegetic sound is any sound that the character or characters on screen can hear. So for example the sound of one character talking to another would be diegetic. Non-diegetic sound is any sound that the audience can hear but the characters on screen cannot. Any appearance of background music is a prime example of non-diegetic sound. This clip from Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Deadsimultaneously depicts both diegetic and non-diegetic sound. The sounds of the characters speaking,
