  • The General Idea Behind Editing in Narrative Film Is the Coordination of One Shot with Another in Order to Create a Coherent, Artistically Pleasing, Meaningful Whole
    Chapter 4: Editing Film 125: The Textbook © Lynne Lerych The general idea behind editing in narrative film is the coordination of one shot with another in order to create a coherent, artistically pleasing, meaningful whole. The system of editing employed in narrative film is called continuity editing – its purpose is to create and provide efficient, functional transitions. Sounds simple enough, right?1 Yeah, no. It’s not really that simple. These three desired qualities of narrative film editing – coherence, artistry, and meaning – are not easy to achieve, especially when you consider what the film editor begins with. The typical shooting phase of a typical two-hour narrative feature film lasts about eight weeks. During that time, the cinematography team may record anywhere from 20 or 30 hours of film on the relatively low end – up to the 240 hours of film that James Cameron and his cinematographer, Russell Carpenter, shot for Titanic – which eventually weighed in at 3 hours and 14 minutes by the time it reached theatres. Most filmmakers will shoot somewhere in between these extremes. No matter how you look at it, though, the editor knows from the outset that in all likelihood less than ten percent of the film shot will make its way into the final product. As if the sheer weight of the available footage weren’t enough, there is the reality that most scenes in feature films are shot out of sequence – in other words, they are typically shot in neither the chronological order of the story nor the temporal order of the film.

  • Screenplay Format Guide
    Screenplay Format Guide Format-wise, anything that makes your script stand out is unwise. This may seem counterintuitive. Anything you do to make your screenplay distinctive is good, right? Depart from the traditional format, though, and you risk having your script prejudged as amateurish. A truly conscientious reader will overlook such superficial matters and focus on content. However, if your work looks unprofessional, it may not be taken seriously. To ensure your script gets a fair read, follow these formatting guidelines: It isn’t necessary to file a copyright with the Library of Congress. Your script is automatically protected under common law. However, it’s a good idea to register it, either with an online service, such as the National Creative Registry (protectrite.com), or with the Writers Guild. This being said, the Industry tends to view registration and copyright notices as the marks of a paranoid amateur. You would be wise to leave them off your script. Use a plain cover. White or pastel card stock, not leatherette. Avoid using screw posts or plastic-comb binding. Bind your script with sturdy, brass fasteners, such as those made by ACCOÒ. The ones Staples sells are too flimsy. Readers hate it when a script falls apart in their hands. You can order professional-quality script supplies online from WritersStore.com. Although scripts are printed on three-hole-punched paper, there’s an unwritten rule that speculative scripts are bound with two fasteners, not three. Why this tends to be common practice is unclear. Perhaps it’s because submissions often get copied by the studio’s story department, and it’s easier (and cheaper) if there are only two brads.

  • Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
    SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE Screenplay by Phil Lord and Rodney Rothman Story by Phil Lord Dec. 3, 2018 SEQ. 0100 - THE ALTERNATE SPIDER-MAN “TAS” WE BEGIN ON A COMIC. The cover asks WHO IS SPIDER-MAN? SPIDER-MAN (V.O.) Alright, let’s do this one last time. My name is Peter Parker. QUICK CUTS of a BLOND PETER PARKER Pulling down his mask...a name tag that reads “Peter Parker”...various shots of Spider-Man IN ACTION. SPIDER-MAN (V.O.) I was bitten by a radioactive spider and for ten years I’ve been the one and only Spider-Man. I’m pretty sure you know the rest. UNCLE BEN tells Peter: UNCLE BEN (V.O.) With great power comes great responsibility. Uncle Ben walks into the beyond. SPIDER-MAN (V.O.) I saved a bunch of people, fell in love, saved the city, and then I saved the city again and again and again... Spiderman saves the city, kisses MJ, saves the city some more. The shots evoke ICONIC SPIDER-MAN IMAGES, but each one is subtly different, somehow altered. SPIDER-MAN (V.O.) And uh... I did this. Cut to Spider-Man dancing on the street, exactly like in the movie Spider-Man 3. SPIDER-MAN (V.O.) We don’t really talk about this. A THREE PANEL SPLIT SCREEN: shots of Spider-Man’s “products”: SPIDER-MAN (V.O.) Look, I’m a comic book, I’m a cereal, did a Christmas album. I have an excellent theme song. (MORE) 2.

  • Rethinking Transcendental Style
    Rethinking Transcendental Style What became of transcendental style? What in the 1950s began as art house cinema has blossomed into the hydra-headed creature we call slow cinema. Bresson and Ozu, seen as esoteric and slow, now are audi- ence friendly compared to the multi-hour epics of Béla Tarr and Lav Diaz and Pedro Costa. A theater experience for art house customers morphed into marginalized audio-video presentations shown only at fi lm festivals and art galleries. What happened? Gilles Deleuze happened. So did Andrei Tarkovsky. And slow cinema was soon to follow. i write a book In 1971, at the age of 24, a grad student a UCLA fi lm school, I had the temerity to write and publish a book titled Transcendental Style in Film. Forty-fi ve years later I found myself on a panel at the annual convention of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies titled “Rethinking Tran- scendental Style: New Approaches in Spirituality and Cinematic Form.” So I started rethinking. How did I come to write the book in the fi rst place and how does its premise hold up after forty-fi ve years? I wasn’t drawn to the topic out of academic obligation or desire to publish. I had a problem and I was looking for an answer. It was the same impulse that caused me to write a screenplay two years later. 1 2 | Rethinking Transcendental Style I was a product of the Christian Reformed Church in Grand Rapids, a Calvinist denomination which at that time proscribed theater attend- ance and other “worldly amusements.” So naturally I was drawn to the forbidden—not the forbidden forbidden, of course, but the acceptable forbidden.

  • Formatting a Screenplay-(Not MLA) Here Are the Basics
    Formatting a Screenplay-(Not MLA) Here are the basics: ● 12-point Courier font ● 1.5 inch left margin ● 1 inch right margin ● 1 inch top and bottom margins ● Approximately 55 lines per page ● Dialogue speaker names (in all caps) 3.7 inches from left side of page (2.2 from margin) ● Actor parentheticals (aka wrylies) 3.1 inches from left side of page (1.6 from margin) ● Dialogue 2.5 inches from left side of page (1.5 from margin) ● Pages should be numbered in the top right corner, flush to the right margin, a half-inch from the top of the page. Numbers should be followed by a period. The first page is not numbered. The title page is neither numbered nor does it count as page one, so the first page to have a number is the second page of the screenplay (third sheet of paper, including the title page), which is numbered 2.

  • 13 Creative Editing Techniques Every Video Editor Should Know
    13 CREATIVE VIDEO EDITING TECHNIQUES From quick-cut transitions to flash-bulb cuts and freeze frames, there are many ways to put together a story on any screen. Once you master the different edit types, you can create an editing style of your own that reflects your creative side. But first, you have to learn them... 1 STANDARDSTANDARD CUTCUT Also known as a hard cut, this is the basic and most common cut. It just puts two clips together, connecting the last frame of one and the beginning frame of the next. 2 JUM P CUT This is a cut that pushes forward in time. It’s normally done within the same frame or composition, and many times it’s used within montages. 3 A montage uses quick cuts between scenes, usually underscored by music, to show the passing of time, allowing for rapid development in your storyline. 4 A cross dissolve can also signify time passing, or it can use its overlapping “layers” or dissolves to show multiple stories or scenes happening at once, but shot at different times. SCENE 1 CROSS DISSOLVE SCENE 2 HELPFUL TIP Don’t use cross dissolves for standard editing. There needs to be creative motivation behind the dissolve. 5 E WIP A wipe is a transition that uses an animation to “wipe” a scene away into the next one. There are basic wipes and there are more complex ones, but they can often be seen as corny. FADE IN/OUT 6 Simply fade out one clip and fade in the other. Like many of the other techniques, this often implies time passing, like a night-to-day switch or someone falling asleep.
