editing

editing

 - audio                               - length, cutting clips
- video                               - graphics
- effects                             - motion capture
- speed/ duration               - voice over
- post productions             - transitions

the role of an editor - selects and rejects footage
                                 - organise the shots filmed
                                 - coordinate one shot with the following shot to produce the desired effect on                                          audience and to keep a narrative moving

editing is the activity of selecting the scenes to be shown and putting them together to create a film

* order of shots - continuity/ discontinuity
* transitions
* space, time and rhythm

space, time and rhythm

 *cinematic space - where the action takes place
*spatial relationship between actors and objects within that space
*also asks the audience to think about what people are doing within this space and what we want to      focus on

time - condense time/ compressed
        - extended time
        - time of sequence takes to play on screen


rhythm - editing sets the rhythm or pace of the scene
             - could be dictated by the music or the mood
             - build up tension - quick shots
             - relaxed scene - slower pace

the meaning of a sequence can change depending on the order of shots are cut together

soviet montage theory - the kuleshov effect is a concept in filming created by lev kuelshov in the 1920
* shows the expression of an actor

soviet montage theory

coined by Sergei Eisenstein - placing together separate sections of film could create idea's or have an                                                  impact beyond individual shots.

eye + water = crying
ear + door = listening

metric montage
rhythmic montage
tonal montage - visual
over tonal montage
intellectual montage - intelligent

Transitions

cut - one shot is instantaneously replaced with the next
      - most often used - most common

fade - show something ending
         - fade to black from which the following shot emerges

dissolve or cross fade - gradually going from one shot to another
                                    - merges shot (opacity)
                                    - 2 shots at the same time

wipe - one image is revealed over another horizontally vertically, diagonally or even using a shape/               pattern

continuity

continuity consistency coherent cutting shots - story with narrative continuity implying spatial relationships - smooth flow from shot to shot creates realism - edits must be invisible establishing/ re-establishing provides a view of all the space in which the action is occurring. might be necessary when a complex sequence of cuts may have served to disorientate a viewer it establishes context for a scene - logical coherence between shots match on action editing one shot to another when and action happens it cuts to another place example: door handle - other side of the door make the action flow 180 degrees roll cant cross over the 180 degree wall (invisible wall) otherwise characters will be switched and will disorientate the viewer eye-line match matches the characters eyes - first person view - understanding what the character is looking at shot reverse shot one character looking at another character off screen cuts to the off screen cha...
