Eye line match	The eye line between two characters matches – eg: they are looking at each toher or looking into a space > then we see that space.
Graphic matching	Cutting two shots together which uses the same shape/colour as a way of linking instead of narrative purposes. Suggests a relationship between two images.
Rhythmic	Cutting to the beat.
Condensing time	Making time seem shorter.
Expanding time	Making time seem longer.
Pace	How fast or slow the cutting is. Used to create tension/ suspense.
Contrasting time	Contrast in the pace of shots eg: from fast to slow. This exaggerates the impact of what is happing.
Juxtaposition of images	Two contrasting images – makes more impact to the editing. Used a lot in intellectual montage.
Dissolve / cross fade	One shot slowly replaces the other, so that both are temporarily present on the screen. It creates a softer cut. Usually suggest a relationship between the two images eg: one character is thinking about the other.
Transition	Different ways of moving from one shot/scene to another. Cut, fade, dissolve, wipe.
Cut	Where you cut the shot. Cut shots together = putting them next to one-another. One shot is replaced by another without any transition – basic editing.
Close up	A closer shot on a character which shows the emotion and enables audience to feel more intimate with the character, therefore more involved in story.
Cut in	Close up on an object or other part of a shot – used to draw attention to the significance of the object or to avoid a jump cut.
Cut away	Similar reason to a cut-in, a shot that shows something else in the scene that did not appear in the shot before

Unit 16:1:1 (Editing)

An Introduction to Editing


The Gloaming

Editing is when you have got different shots which you have filmed then cut and paste the footage which you would like to use and then joined them together to make a final story. Elliptical editing is when you have a long footage but you can cut out some of it because its not needed and waste a lot of time, here’s an example the girl is very tried on minute you see her and then the next minute she’s waking up. Another example is one minute you see the girl bending down then we see a close up of the ring then the camera is back onto her picking it up and standing up slowly. They have used long shots because they are making you feel like you are there in the footage for examples: the river makes you feel like your standing in the water, also the long shot shows us that she has just woken up and don’t know where she is and she is alone.

Right non-diagetic sound is when there is music playing in the background and there natural sounds for example birds, sea water, animals and also its when there is music but the character cant hear it but the viewers can.

In this video she looks down and looks right down at the bottom then we see the ring on the grass as like she has seen it, bent down to pick it up.

 Hustle

Overhead establishing shot achieves the director to set out the space for the actions to take place and the characters position within the room.

A shot reverse shot is when you have an image which is set on someone then you see the person that they are talking to and go back to the main character (me, you, me).

Eye line matching shot is when someone is looking down at someone else and you and sees that the other person is looking up while they both are talking so we assume that they are looking at each other.

The reason why the director cuts to the members of the group is so that we can see their reaction to the plain or to the other members of the group; they normally do it one by one or in two shots.

Whip shot is a slick shot it moves from one location and time to back to what we was watching.

The effects of using quick cuts are 26 different shots they can be long or a second or 2. also its creates a fast rhyme which keeps the story moving along and keeps the audience on their toes. 

Editing: The Invisible Art

Cross cutting is when you have got different images and you want then to fade into each of them at the same time.

Reaction shot is when you can see someone reactions in the shots.

Seamless editing is where you seem to know what you are doing with your editing, but the more and more you get deeply involved with the project you get less aware of what is happening.

A jump cut is when it doesn’t have a smooth cut and the shots jump from picture to picture.

A flash back is when you have an image that goes back into time, have different effect and then goes back into the present. The reason why people put flash back into their video is because we might not know what happened in the past so the show us the past and present. 

Editing can be used by poetically because it isn’t a set story it’s more abstract.
