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.
