EDITING FOR A PURPOSE

Story Telling: Horror

        Continuity: Within each category, specific techniques will work against a sense of continuity. In other words, techniques can cause a passage to be continuous, giving the viewer a concrete physical narration to follow or causing viewer disorientation, pondering, or even subliminal interpretation or reaction, as in the montage style. This means that it’d be efficient for a Story Telling video because it’ll allow the video to have a flow and a “story like” feel.

Cross Cutting:  Cross-Cutting is a technique which conveys spatial discontinuity. It can be achieved by cutting back and forth between shots of spatially unrelated places. In these cases, the viewer will understand clearly that the places are supposed to be separate and parallel. So in that sense, the viewer may not become particularly disoriented, but under the principle of spatial continuity editing, crosscutting is considered a technique of spatial discontinuity. Cross cutting is a very efficient technique to use for a Story Telling video because it’ll allow the viewers to see the different scenes of the story and differentiate the different parts of the story. So in the case of a horror movie the viewers will be able to differentiate between the scenes that aren’t scary to the horror scenes.

Transitions: Transitions are used in edit to link the different shots together; this is done in post production of film editing. The different transitions used depend on how the director wants them.The different transitions are: Fade to Black, Dissolve, Fades, The Iris & Cut. This will allow the story to have some in between the cut action. This will also contribute to mood changes, location changes etc..

Montage: Montage is a technique in which a series of short shots are edited into a sequence to condense space, time, and information. The montage sequence is usually used to suggest the passage of time, rather than to create symbolic meaning. This means that by using the montage technique in a Story Telling video it’ll allow the shots to flow in a sequence and allow the reader to know what part of the story they’re at. Middle, End or even the beginning.

Creating Motivation: Sports

Cutting to Sound Track: Cutting to soundtrack editing is when the pace and beat of a song can determine how fast scenes can cut. This is a great way to captivate an audience’s attention cause it’s out of the ordinary. For a Creating Motivation in the Sports department it’s an ideal technique because it’ll keep the viewers captivated, interested and even help them get motivated due to the music . It’ll also allow the editors to play around with imagery and timings so it can match the chosen sound or song.

Transitions: Transitions are used in edit to link the different shots together; this is done in post production of film editing. The different transitions used depend on how the director wants them.The different transitions are: Fade to Black, Dissolve, Fades, The Iris & Cut. This is a great way to play around with imagery and speed. Because it’s for a sport video slow motion and speed would be a great way to emphasize on detail. Transitions will allow the viewers to see a clear change in scenes and remain captivated. 

Creating Pace: Track Relay

Cutting to Sound Track: Cutting to soundtrack editing is when the pace and beat of a song can determine how fast scenes can cut. This is a great way to captivate an audience’s attention cause it’s out of the ordinary.  So as the runner gets faster the scenes cut quicker, this will contribute to the theme of pace, running and speed.

Transitions: Transitions are used in edit to link the different shots together; this is done in post production of film editing. The different transitions used depend on how the director wants them.The different transitions are: Fade to Black, Dissolve, Fades, The Iris & Cut. Transitions will allow the video to have a flow and excitement. The use of transitions will also benefit the look of the video, because it’s a running video the transitions need to match the mood.

180 Degree Rule: The 180-degree rule is a basic guideline regarding the on-screen spatial relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene. An imaginary line called the axis connects the characters, and by keeping the camera on one side of this axis for every shot in the scene, the first character is always frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first. The use of the 18 degree rule will allow the viewers to see the athlete running towards the next in order to swap battons. This will contribute on the athlete receiving the batton’s face whilst the one giving’s back will be visible.

Combining Shots Into a Sequence:

Montage: Montage is a technique in which a series of short shots are edited into a sequence to condense space, time, and information. The montage sequence is usually used to suggest the passage of time, rather than to create symbolic meaning. This means that by using the montage technique in a Story Telling video it’ll allow the shots to flow in a sequence and allow the reader to know what part of the story they’re at. Middle, End or even the beginning.

Transitions: Transitions are used in edit to link the different shots together; this is done in post production of film editing. The different transitions used depend on how the director wants them.The different transitions are: Fade to Black, Dissolve, Fades, The Iris & Cut. Transitions are what will combine the series of shots and include excitement to the change of scenes.

Continuity: Within each category, specific techniques will work against a sense of continuity. In other words, techniques can cause a passage to be continuous, giving the viewer a concrete physical narration to follow or causing viewer disorientation, pondering, or even subliminal interpretation or reaction, as in the montage style. Continuity means the connection of the video. 

DEVELOPMENT AND PRINCIPLES OF EDITING

When you think of editing, you normally think of a viriety of  all these cool different choices, however there are key principles that make up editing as a whole, and these are:

·      Contnuity:

 Continuity editing can be divided into two categories: temporal continuity and spatial continuity. Within each category, specific techniques will work against a sense of continuity. In other words, techniques can cause a passage to be continuous, giving the viewer a concrete physical narration to follow or causing viewer disorientation, pondering, or even subliminal interpretation or reaction, as in the montage style. So basically (for those that didn’t understand) continuity editing is used to stabalize a video. It’s what sticks the video together and goves it a flow.

·      Montage:

Montage is a technique in which a series of short shots are edited into a sequence to condense space, time, and information. The montage sequence is usually used to suggest the passage of time, rather than to create symbolic meaning.

·      Jump-Cutting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpDNmRcrJBc

 A jump cut is a cut in film editing in which two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly. This type of edit gives the effect of jumping forwards in time. It is a manipulation of temporal space using the duration of a single shot, and fracturing the duration to move the audience ahead. 

·      Parallel Editng: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_I82117oAw

 Parallel editing is where the editor crosses between two different shots which is also known as cross cutting. The idea of parallel editing is to build up suspension so when the audeine’s watching the film it portrys the idea that something is going to happen at the same time as something else. It’s a great way of building up tension

·      180 Degrees Rule:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN6TPtaBKwk

The 180-degree rule is a basic guideline regarding the on-screen spatial relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene. An imaginary line called the axis connects the characters, and by keeping the camera on one side of this axis for every shot in the scene, the first character is always frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first. 

·      Transitions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozc9a8QXfSQ

Transitions are used in edit to link the different shots together; this is done in post production of film editing. The different transitions used depend on how the director wants them.The different transitions are: Fade to Black, Dissolve, Fades, The Iris & Cut.

·      Editing Rhythm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MExM2ZW9h3o

Rhthmic Editing manipulates the length of a series of shots. However it is varied, different effects can be achieved or enhanced.

·      Crosscutting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmptU7vEkNU

  Cross-cutting is a technique which conveys spatial discontinuity. It can be achieved by cutting back and forth between shots of spatially unrelated places. In these cases, the viewer will understand clearly that the places are supposed to be separate and parallel. So in that sense, the viewer may not become particularly disoriented, but under the principle of spatial continuity editing, crosscutting is considered a technique of spatial discontinuity.

Ever wondered how film editing started?

Ever wondered how film editing started?

Film Editing Today.

So let’s start off with the boring stuff, things we already know. (Yes I know, it pointleass but I have no choice.) Back in the day film editing was almost 100% based on how the shooting went but today it’s more like “Oh it was dark? No worries, I’ll just increase the brightness through editing.” This shows you how far film editing has come. Unlike back in the day, editing a short film can take minutes!

Today, we have editing software’s on almost every desktop, laptops and even iPad’s! I wonder what James Williamson would think.. Or feel.. Or do. (He might just have a heart attack. I doubt we want that.)

Film editing is very simple now, “Editors cut” has become “clicking on a particular frame and dragging it to the dustbin or to the working in progress video.” Simple, I know! Now we can change the effects, increase brightness, modify skin tones or even play with the temperature (Not the weather alright. I know what you were thinking.)

Greatest Invention of Film Editing:

Although we still have to acknowledge Robert W. Paul for inventing the way of implicating a little action in video shots, unfortunately (or fortunately depends on you) someone created even greater! Yes I know, it’s crazy. But very true!

Did I forget to mention flying cars, over sized green super heroes taking over the streets of New York? Yeah.. That’s what they call “Green Screen Imagery”. I would say that’s probably the most advanced form of editing technology out there. AND IT’S ALL EDITING, for those that actually thought hulk or the transformers existed. (I wish..) Anyway, it’s simple but first you’re going to need a lot of green. No, not money, well that too but more of the color green. That’s the secret to pulling your subject out of the real world and placing it in a digital domain.

Why green you ask?

The major factor is the contrast. In order to isolate one area from the rest, the background color must be distinctly different. Bright green beats any other color because it is not a color commonly used. (Unless you’re a neon color fan. Which means you might need help with a wardrobe change too.) Any clothing that matches the background too closely will also key out, making the subject become invisible. (So that’s where it came from!)

So what exactly Were early films like?
Early films short films Were That Were one long, static, and locked-down shot. Motion in the shot frame All That frame necessary to amuse an audience, I man, That They'd not expect anything else really. So the FIRST films simply showed Activity such as a group of children running around the neighborhood. Think about the excitement They must've Felt after Seeing the video? Like, OMG that's me? There WAS no story and no editing. Each film ran as long as there film in the camera frame.

Who is Responsible for the man read little action?

The Involvement of action moving from one sequence into another, is attributed to *DRUM ROLL* British film PIONEER Robert W. Paul!!! The further development of action Continuity in multi-shot films continued in 1899-1900 at the  Brighton School in England , Where It was officially established by George Albert Smith and James Williamson. In That year Smith made, well, I would not really say a BUT movie something of the sort called Seen Through the Telescope , in Which the main shot Shows a street scene with a young man HIS tying shoelace and then caressing the foot of HIS girlfriend (strange, yes, I know) while an old man Through a telescope observes this (stalker much?). There is then cut to a close 
shot of the girl's foot Circular shown inside a black 

mask, and then a cut back to the CONTINUATION of the original

 scene.

Uh .. James Williamson? Who Could That be?

James Williamson focused on making films taking action from one place shown in one shot to the next shown in another shot in films like  Stop Thief!  &  Fire! made ​​in 1901, and many others. (Not That You'd know or anything Them.)  ALSO He experimented with the close-up, and frame know to make the most extreme one of all in The Big Swallow. When HIS CHARACTER approaches the camera and appears to Swallow it. (That's not weird at all ...) These two filmmakers of the Brighton School Founded ALSO the editing of the film: They work their Plot Plot Plot Plot tinted with color and used trick photography to enhance the narrative. By 1900, their Plot Plot Plot Plot Were extended scenes films of up to 5 minutes long. Man, the Brighton School seems like the place to be!

Key Discoveries:

These early film Directors discovered important aspects of motion 
picture language: That the
screen image does not need to show a complete person from head to toe and splicing together two shots That creates in the viewer's mind a contextual Relationship. (Well .. DUUH!) These Were That made ​​all the key non-live non DISCOVERIES or live-on-videotape narrative motion pictures and television possible

Before the widespread use of non-linear editing systems, the Initial editing of films Were all done with a positive copy of the film called a film print work (cutting copy in UK) by Actually, legitimately physically (have I emphasized Enough?) cutting and pasting together Pieces of film. Can you imagine how much Effort and time That would take? strips of footage would be hand cut and
attached together with tape and then later in time, glue. Editors Were
very precise, IF They made ​​a wrong cut or print needed a fresh positive,
it'd cost Them money for the lab to reprint the footage and the editing
process push farther back. If I Were in their denim, I'd probably loose
all the money I invested. With beautiful long awaited the invention of a splicer 
and threading machine with a viewer such as a Moviola, or Flatebed Machine
the editing process sped up a little bit and the cuts came out cleaner and more
precise. Well.. About time!

Post Production:

Editor's cut.

There are Stages have have have have several editing and the editor's cut is the FIRST. An editor's cut

(Sometimes referred to as the "Assembly edit "or" Rough cut ") is normally the FIRST draft of what will be the final film when it reaches picture lock. The film editor while working usually starts principal photography starts. LIKELY, PRIOR to cutting , the editor and director will have seen and / or discussed as shooting progresses. Screening Dailies gives the editor a rough idea of the director's intention. Because it is the FIRST pass, the editor's cut might be longer than the final film. (Great .. EVEN, more Wasted time.) The editor Continues to refine the cut while shooting Continues, and is is is is often the entire editing process goes on for many months and Sometimes more than a year, Depending on the film.

Directors Cut:

When shooting is finished, the director can then turn HIS or her full attention to the Collaborating with the editor and further REFINING the cut of the film. This is the time set aside Where That is the film editor's First cut is molded to fit the director's vision.

While Collaborating on what is referred to as the "director's cut", the director and the editor go over the entire movie in great detail, scenes and shots are re-ordered, removed, shortened and Otherwise tweaked. That is is is is often it is discovered there are plot holes, or even, ,, missing shots, missing segments Which might require new scenes to be filmed. Because of this time working and Collaborating Closely - That is normally a period far longer, and far more intimately Involved, than the entire Production and filming - most Directors and editors form a Unique Artistic bond. (Romantic much?)

Final Cut:

It is only after the director has HIS Had a chance to oversee cut, the CHOSEN cuts are supervised by one or more Producers, WHO Represent the Production Company and / or movie studio . Once that's out the way, the product can finally be released! !
