Intercutting—expanded use from Griffith 7. Contradictory space -Shots of same event contradict one another (e.g., plate smashing in Potemkin) 8.

  • Kubrick's Match Cut in 2001
    Kubrick’s Match Cut in 2001: A Space Odyssey Stanley Kubrick’s renowned film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, is one of peculiar filmmaking and storytelling strategies. From the farfetched implications of the technological advancements of the future from a 1968 perspective to the use of odd motifs throughout the film, Kubrick’s film gives audiences something to think about throughout and after watching. One of the most significant scenes of the entire movie is the use of a match cut between the shot of a primate with a bone and an unknown spacecraft floating through outer space. A “match cut” can be defined as two shots edited consecutively which both possess a similar visual structure; the objects in a match cut are to be in the same place in each frame and have the same type of focus structure, as to not break the continuity of a plot and ultimately create a greater meaning of the story. In the case of 2001: A Space Odyssey, a bone is matched in the same vertically flying pattern as a spaceship in the second shot. In the former shot, the bone is propelled into the air after the primate who was holding it found new uses for it; as it is thrown in the air, it is put into a slow motion single shot, as to imply something for the audience to figure out. In the latter shot, the spaceship is in the same diagonal alignment as the bone in the previous shot and has the same type of shape. This match cut provided an array of arguments between filmmakers and historians alike regarding the implications of the shot’s meaning.

  • EDITING TECHNIQUES for FILM the Editing Process
    EDITING TECHNIQUES FOR FILM The Editing Process Shots are edited together to create scenes. Scenes can be edited together to tell a story. Editing Many regard it as the single most important creative step in determining the look an shape of the finished film Dede Allen - BONNIE AND CLYDE, REDS A good editor can save a poorly directed film A bad editor can damage the work of even the finest director Thelma Schoonmaker - RAGING BULL, THE DEPARTED Watching a film is like putting together a puzzle… Overall picture emerges when all the little pieces have been fit together Each piece is a shot When put together properly, the viewer sees the whole picture and not just the pieces Lev Kuleshov Kuleshov said that editing a film was like constructing a building. Brick-by-brick (shot- by-shot) the building (film) is erected. Just as two images joined together form a third meaning not inherent in either of the two images alone… …the way the many images making up a film are put together creates a meaning not inherent in the individual shots Viewers infer meaning based on context. The viewers didn't realize it, but the emotion and the story they felt were the result of the human need to fill in the blanks. Sample of EditingTechniques 1. Master 2. Match cut 3. Continuity editing 4. Jump Cut 5. Montage 7. Shot Reverse Shot Master shot A master shot is a film recording of an entire dramatized scene, from start to finish, from an angle that keeps all the players in view.

  • THE NINES Written by John August FINAL SCRIPT November 2006
    THE NINES written by John August FINAL SCRIPT November 2006 READER NOTE One thing that will be obvious to viewers, but not to readers, is that the nine principal parts in this film are played by only three actors: 1) Gary, Gavin, Gabriel 2) Sarah, Susan, Sierra 3) Margaret, Melissa, Mary It'll make more sense in context. Promise. 100 A MAN’S HAND 100 unwinds a short length of green string. We’re extremely close, with a shallow, blurry focus. It’s like the first moments after a dream -- just fragments. Scissors cut the string. The man wraps it around his left wrist. A loop. A bracelet. We see the man’s teeth, the edge of his chin as he pulls the knot tight. His fingers pull against the string. Solid. It won’t break easily. FADE OUT. 101 PITCH BLACK 101 There’s no music. No sound at all, really, except for some distant birds CHIRPING. Then a SQUEAK. A SQUEAL as rusty springs engage. A GARAGE DOOR LIFTS, revealing GARY BANKS in silhouette. He’s 30, effortlessly fit, with movie-star good looks. (Although for now, he’s merely a TV star.) Like most Laurel Canyon garages, this one has never held a car. Instead, it’s the resting place for all the detritus of bachelordom: shitty Ikea furniture, a drum set, a styrofoam snowman, and the Harley he always meant to get running. Gary spots what he was looking for. CUT TO: 102 EXT. BACK PATIO / LAUREL CANYON HOUSE - MAGIC HOUR (DAWN) 102 Gary drags a beaten Weber kettle.

Deposit Guide Contact: email ON THE MEANING OF A CUT: TOWARDS A THEORY OF EDITING Bartłomiej Dziadosz A dissertation submitted to the Department of English and Humanities in candidacy for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Birkbeck, University of London October 2018 Abstract I confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own and the work of other persons is appropriately acknowledged. This thesis looks at a variety of discourses about film editing in order to explore the possibility, on the one hand, of drawing connections between them, and on the other, of addressing some of their problematic aspects. Some forms of fragmentation existed from the very beginnings of the history of the moving image, and the thesis argues that forms of editorial control were executed by early exhibitors, film pioneers, writers, and directors, as well as by a fully- fledged film editor. This historical reconstruction of how the profession of editor evolved sheds light on the specific aspects of their work. Following on from that, it is proposed that models of editing fall under two broad paradigms: of montage and continuity.

  • Filmic Space Developing a Palette of Transitions for Urban Designers
    Filmic Space developing a palette of transitions for urban designers Matthew Hynam contents abstract 4 preface 6 chapter 1: introduction 8 chapter 2: literature review 12 chapter 3: research design 24 chapter 4: filmic space 36 chapter 5: transition palette 72 chapter 6: conclusion 90 bibliography of references 96 bibliography of figures 100 ab- stract Road trip still, Las Vegas Strip. (Author. 2009) fig 1 This essay examines the possibility of using ‘filmic transitions’ abstract to provide urban designers with a ‘transition palette’ to structure space for an increasingly mobile society. This essay begins with an investigation into the ‘film- architecture praxis’; a literature review that looked for existing interfaces between film and architecture. This led to a more detailed review of literature concerning filmic syntax and finally ‘filmic transitions’. The literature review, and in particular the findings on ‘filmic transition’, inspired the next stage of the essay which was to capture footage from the United States. The captured footage was then analysed for metaphorical incidents of ‘filmic transitions’ occurring within it. It was then abstracted, resulting in the creation of a palette of film inspired transitions. The purpose of these is to enable urban designers to read and intervene in space from a mobile perspective. To validate its usefulness in this way, the palette was then tested on Bristol’s M32 Motorway. The final stage was to critically reflect upon the methods chosen to carry out this essay and to draw conclusions on the usefulness of the created ‘transition palette’. Through the creation of the ‘transition palette’ and its testing on the M32, this essay found that the way in which we move through space has many similarities with the structure of film including spaces which exhibit filmic characteristics such as cutting, dissolving, fading, panning and more.

Only after the completion of this stage, a programme comes into its final shape. Whether it is news programme or entertainment programme, editing plays a major role in all types of television production. But it is also true that the time available for editing in different types of television programmes may vary. For example, you will get significantly less time to produce a news package than an entertainment television show. Therefore, in this case, editing should be very fast. You will certainly find difference in editing a news programme and editing a documentary or a short film or a film. Generally, news programmes are produced in a hurry and their main focus is on providing information to the audience as quickly as possible, instead of the aesthetic aspects of the presentation. In such cases, the speed is more important than aesthetics in TV news editing.
