Photo Chemical Film Fnishing Document 9 Celluloid Photochemical Finishing (excerpt from Cht. 19, V&V 1e) From Voice & Vision ed. 1, Chapter 19 (© Mick Hurbis-Cherrier and Focal Press, 2007) The following discussion of the photochemical process for finishing on film is from the first edition of Voice & Vision (© Mick Hurbis-Cherrier and Focal Press, 2007). Shoot: Film / Edit: Digital / Finish: Film / Release: Film and DVD answer prints & telecine log videotape with timecode & edgecode color correction process and telecine film negative negative cutter printing from A & B (3 : 2 pulldown) NLE conforms negative rolls / optical master EDL audio original video dailies release prints resolve and sync (edit decision list) audio (lab or NLE) optical master mixed audio nonsync audio resolve audio (lab or NLE) = lab service (on DAT) So, you want to shoot on film, edit on an NLE system, and finish the project back to film - and you want to do it the “old fashioned way.” The photochemical finishing workflow isn’t really all that old, it’s just quickly disappearing – and it is by no means obsolete yet. Shooting and finishing on film requires two format conversions. The first format transfer is the same film-to-tape transfer process discussed in Chapter 19 of the Voice & Vision book. This is how you get your footage into a digital format for editing. All issues of pulldown, sync drift, etc. apply to this workflow as well. However, when the editing is over and you need to then the transfer back from your digitally edited version, into a film print, you will require extensive services from a film lab, a negative cutter, and quite possibly a head-shrinker. The Picture Path The first part of this workflow is similar to workflow in figure 19-25 (in the book): shoot film, edit digital, however, the image portion of the second conversion doesn’t go from film selects to a digital intermediate; rather, all of the creative decisions you made during the digital edit are then manually From Voice & Vision ed. 1, Chapter 19 (© Mick Hurbis-Cherrier and Focal Press, 2007) duplicated, cut for cut, with your actual original camera negative. Once this is accomplished, we can then strike film prints, from that edited and spliced original negative, for exhibition. This duplication of the creative decisions you made is accomplished in two steps, the matchback step and the conforming step. Figure 1 Matchback: Matchback is the process by which the edgecode numbers on the original camera negative are coordinated with the timecode numbers on the DV transfer, so that the creative edit decisions we made in the NLE system can be replicated on our camera original film, cut-for-cut and frame-for-frame. The first step to the matchback, during the telecine transfer process, is to have the lab begin creating an edgecode/timecode database called a telecine log (also called a Flex File) (). The telecine log database compares the original footage edgecode numbers (either latent image numbers or the proprietary film barcode system) and the newly generated timecode numbers on the transfer in order to keep track of each and every “phantom” frame and field created in the 3:2 pulldown process. The lab will give you the telecine log as a text file on Fig 1 disk. Then, once you’ve captured your footage and transferred the telecine log database into your project file, you are free to fully engage your creative brain and edit the movie. When you have no more cutting to do, and the editing is done, the matchback begins. Each edited shot begins and ends on a specific timecode number. All professional editing software, like Avid or Final Cut Pro, can From Voice & Vision ed. 1, Chapter 19 (© Mick Hurbis-Cherrier and Focal Press, 2007) easily print out an edit decision list (EDL), which is a list detailing the beginning and ending timecode numbers of each and every shot in your movie. However, a timecode EDL includes all of those phantom fields inserted during the 3:2 pulldown process. So, all editing software designed to accommodate film shooting has a matchback tool (e.g., Avid’s Film Scribe and Final Cut Pro’s Cinema Tools), which uses the information in the telecine log to compare the timecode EDL with the negative film’s edgecode numbers and interpolates the data to create a corresponding, frame-accurate, film edgecode EDL. This EDL now corresponds (or has been matched back) to the edgecode numbers from your camera original negative and tells us exactly which frames of film begin and end every shot in the movie. This list also includes the information for the visual transitions between shots (straight cut, dissolve, fade to black, etc.). This list is called the matchback cut-list because it essentially becomes the roadmap for the literal cutting of the negative during the next step, conforming (Figure 2).

Because there is only one (end of Assemble List) original negative, which is vulnerable to damage, this process is done by trained professionals, called From Voice & Vision ed. 1, Chapter 19 (© Mick Hurbis-Cherrier and Focal Press, 2007) negative cutters (Figure 3), in special, filtered-air clean rooms to ensure that your precious negative remains free of dust and scratches. Should your negative get scratched, that mark will appear on each and every film print or DV transfer made from the original. Negative cutters match your creative decisions to the original footage by using the telecine log Fig. 3: A negative matcher literally cuts film and then uses cement glue and a hot splicer to connect the shots. and matchback cut-list data and literally cut and glue the film together from the negative, performing the edits with cement splicing glue for a strong and permanent bond. This is the reason that this step is done at the very end, after all creative editing decisions are settled once and for all. You cannot go back after the film has been conformed and say, “Uh . can you just add three more frames at the end of that shot?” Can’t be done. Usually, negatives are cut by alternating consecutive shots onto two strands, called A&B rolls (Figure 4); odd-numbered shots are on the A roll and even numbered shots are on the B roll. The “missing” shot on each roll is replaced by black leader. When the lab makes a print from the A&B rolls onto a single strand of film, the A roll is threaded up first and printed by pushing light through the negative onto the print stock in a contact printer (Figure 5). A 1 3 5 B 2 4 1352 4 Fig. 4: By printing the alternating shots on the A&B rolls onto a new strand of print film, we get a print with no physical splices. From Voice & Vision ed. 1, Chapter 19 (© Mick Hurbis-Cherrier and Focal Press, 2007) The odd shots are now rendered as positive images, but the areas of black leader protect the print stock from exposure. The print film is then rewound to the beginning and the B roll is threaded up and printed, filling in those unexposed spaces with the even shots.

  • Transitions Premiere Pro What Are Film Transitions?
    Transitions Premiere Pro What Are Film Transitions? A Film Transitions is an editing technique used in post-production. Transitions are usually used to convey a mood, tone, a change in location or to show the passing of time (forward or backwards). It can also be used as a low budget special effect. How it works Starting from one image(A), combined with a 2nd image (A to B), and final finishing on the 2nd image (B). Most Common Transitions Commonly used at the beginning of a scene or film. Commonly used at the end of a scene or film. Commonly used to suggest a change in location or a change to a different scene. Can be used as a low budget special FX, or a match cut. Commonly used to suggest a change in location or a change to a different scene. Can be used for an opening or end of a film. Manual Cross Dissolve pt1 - Layers Notice the timeline has several tracks you can use for both video and audio. Video tracks go up and audio tracks go down. Much like photoshop, Premiere works in Layers (tracks). Meaning the top track is seen first and anything below is seen 2nd or not at all. Premiere by default, shows a black screen as its background when there is no footage present on the timeline. This black screen can be used to fade in from, or out to (– fade to/from black) . Manual Cross Dissolve pt2 - Tracks Creating a Manual Cross Dissolve requires 2 pieces of footage. One to transition from and another, to transition to.

    Transition, Camera and Continuity Indications for Storyboards Fade In & Out: Shows and films almost always open by fading in from black and end by fading to black. Fade In and Out usually happen over 48 frames and are indicated like this: Continuity Match Cuts: A Match Cut is necessary when a character is present in consecutive scenes. As well as including a Start Pose of the character or prop in the same position or pose for continuity in your storyboard (and later for the Animatic), it is important to indicate Match Cuts in written form on your storyboard to ensure the Layout Department maintains continuity. In the industry, a Match Cut is also sometimes referred to as a Hook Up or Match Action. Different studios have different preferences. For this course we will be using the term Match Cut. Match Cuts, Hook Ups and Match Action are indicated as follows: Transitions Cross Dissolve: A Cross Dissolve is when one scene fades away or dissolves to reveal a new scene. Cross Dissolves are usually used to show a passage of time or to transition between sequences. They can also be used to come in and out of flash backs or fantasy sequences. It is always good to ask the director of your production if they should be used and how often. Some shows use them all the time, others not so much. Cross Dissolves are indicated as follows: 1 Match Dissolve: A Match Dissolve is when some part of the scene stays constant and in the same position from one scene to the next.

Each Frame is a Word Each Shot is s Sentence Each Sequence is a Paragraph Multiple Sequences make a Chapter Choose the Best Footage It may sound a little silly, but be selective. It is common to shoot more footage than you actually need and choose only the best material for the final edit. Often you will shoot several versions (takes) of a shot and then choose the best one when editing. If a shot it too shaky, don’t use it. If it’s out of focus, don’t use it. Develop Your Sequences A basic sequence might be: Wide Shot Medium Shot Close Up Extreme Close Up Cut Away/Transition Shot Repeat But you could just as easily do: Medium Shot Medium Shot Close Up Medium Wide Shot Extreme Close Up Close Up Medium Shot Wide Shot Cut Away/ Transition Shot Think about continuity when building your story.

  • S-Log: a New LUT for Digital Production Mastering and Interchange Applications
    S-Log: A new LUT for digital production mastering and interchange applications Hugo Gaggioni, Patel Dhanendra, Jin Yamashita (Sony Broadcast and Production Systems) N. Kawada, K. Endo ( Sony B2B Company) Curtis Clark, American Society of Cinematographers 1. Introduction Color correction tools, file formats, and capture devices are increasingly processing linear, high-dynamic range, color-component data, which is often stored in high-precision floating point formats. However, a wide variety of existing imaging and video formats as well as processing tools are designed to work with 10 / 12 bit integer data. A newly proposed look-up table, the S-Log LUT, is an attempt to bridge these worlds. S-Log is a gamma function applied to Sony’s electronic cinematography cameras, in a manner that digitally originated images can be post-processed with similar techniques as those employed for film originated materials. Since S-Log can reproduce the entire tonal range captured by a CCD or CMOS imager, the S-Log image can be described as the “Digital Negative” of the image acquisition process. Shooting in S-Log will enable the cinematographer to decide the exposure value by using a light meter, and offer a smooth transition from film acquisition to digital acquisition. This paper will describe the technical characteristics of the S-Log Look Up Table for the handling of S-Log encoded camera original material in a Cine-based, ‘film-centric’, Digital Intermediate post production workflow. 2. S-Log Characteristics The S-Log gamma function is optimized for digital motion picture cameras. This logarithmic curve was carefully designed by analyzing the noise floor characteristics and the tonal reproduction of the imaging device.

  • The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers
    THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE GUIDE FOR FILMMAKERS IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGY IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGY AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE GUIDE FOR FILMMAKERS Good films—those that e1ectively communicate the desired message—are the result of an almost magical blend of ideas and technological ingredients. And with an understanding of the tools and techniques available to the filmmaker, you can truly realize your vision. The “idea” ingredient is well documented, for beginner and professional alike. Books covering virtually all aspects of the aesthetics and mechanics of filmmaking abound—how to choose an appropriate film style, the importance of sound, how to write an e1ective film script, the basic elements of visual continuity, etc. Although equally important, becoming fluent with the technological aspects of filmmaking can be intimidating. With that in mind, we have produced this book, The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers. In it you will find technical information—about light meters, cameras, light, film selection, postproduction, and workflows—in an easy-to-read- and-apply format. Ours is a business that’s more than 100 years old, and from the beginning, Kodak has recognized that cinema is a form of artistic expression. Today’s cinematographers have at their disposal a variety of tools to assist them in manipulating and fine-tuning their images. And with all the changes taking place in film, digital, and hybrid technologies, you are involved with the entertainment industry at one of its most dynamic times. As you enter the exciting world of cinematography, remember that Kodak is an absolute treasure trove of information, and we are here to assist you in your journey.

  • Editing A/B Rolling
    Editing Continuity editing - The majority of film sequences are edited so that time seems to flow, uninterrupted, from shot to shot. Within a ‘continuity editing’ sequence, only cuts will be used. Continuity editing can also involve ‘cross-cutting’, where a sequence cuts between two different settings where action is taking place at the same time. Montage - In montage, different images are assembled to build up an impression. This is often used in title sequences. The most famous example of this technique is the Odessa Steps sequence from Battleship Potemkin. Transitions describe the way in which one shot replaces the previous one: Cut - One image is suddenly replaced by another, without a visible transition. Cross-dissolve One image dissolves into another. This can be used to make a montage sequence - eg the title sequence - flow smoothly; it can also be used in continuity editing to show that we have moved forwards in time and/or space. Fade up - An image gradually fades in Fade out - An image gradually fades out. (Fades to and from black usually mean that time has passed ) Wipe - One image replaces another without dissolving, with the border between the images moving across or around the screen. A/B Rolling A/B rolling is a technique used in film editing to hide ugly splices. When a splice (two pieces of film stuck together with splicing tape or glued with cement) rolls through a projector, the area of tape or glue will appear fuzzy. To eliminate this nasty blip in a finished film, the negative is a/b rolled.

  • Film Terms 1
    Film Terms 1 Film Terms Cutaway - A shot, usually a closeup of some detail, or landscape, that is used break up a matching action sequence, and is often very helpful in editing to rescue you from an impossible break in continuity or coverage. A cutaway, as the name implies, is a shot that does not focus on some detail of the shot before or after it but cuts away from the action at hand, unlike an Insert Shot . However, the two terms are sometimes used vaguely or interchangeably, although this is not always a useful practice. The best cutaways are the ones that have some logic to them, that relate to the scene. Dissolve - A transition between two shots, where one shot fades away and simultaneously another shot fades in. Dissolves are done at the lab in the printing phase, but prepared by the negative cutter, who cuts in an overlap of the two shots into the A&B rolls. Labs will only do dissolves in fixed amounts, such as 24 frames, 48 frames, etc. Dolly Shot - A dolly shot is one where the camera is placed on a dolly and is moved while filmming. Also known as a tracking shot. Edit - 1.: The cutting and arranging of shots. 2.: In the different stages, or at the completion of editing the edited film itself can be referred to as “the cut” or “the edit.” Fade - A transition from a shot to black where the image gradually becomes darker is a Fade Out ; or from black where the image gradually becomes brighter is a Fade In .
