Editing

Editing

How does the speed of editing empathise the action?

When there is action, the speed of editing increases because so much is going on at once. When it's building up to the action the editing starts from being slow and eventually gets faster as the tension of the film builds up.

Comparisons

Halloween and Psyco

. Both use same weapon

. Innocent blobe woman (Protagonist)

. Victim alone to start attack

Speed of editing:

. Films are joined together at certain points. The length of each shot determines the pace of the film and helps determine mood.

General... Trailers...

. Film trailers are an excellent way of commencing an audience to a film. Film trailers mainly use a mixture of editing styles, techniques, and also speed to appeal to an audience and also advertise a film.

Straight Cut Example:

When one shot moves into another shot in an edit and it does not confuse the audience.

Fade to Black Example:

When one shot goes/moves into another and then is black further in between.

Wipe Cut Example:

When the shot slides into another.

Dissolve:

When one shot disintigrates into another.

Reaction Shot:

Any shot (often used as a cut way) in which a subject reacts to a previous shot.

Montage Example:

Id the speed of editing, where shots are quickly juxposed together to create excitement.

Slow editing: Is when clips are put toghether at a slower pace and this is to create suspence and capture action.

Fast Editing: Is when clips are put together at a fast pace and this is to create suspence and thrill.

The editing types you need to know...

. The 180 degree rule: When you stay within the 180 degree line to view the scene if you go beyond the 180 degree line the shot wouldn't make sense and it'll confuse the audience.

Shot reverse shot: This is mostly used in films where a conversation is taking place and it is one shot quickly follows another.

Jump Cut Example: A drastic camera movement that is noticeable to the eye. The shot/edit almost "jumps"
