VIDEO TOOLKIT Long Shot (LS / FS) • Also known as full shot (FS). • Frames the whole figure of your subject, from the head to the toes. • Places the subject in relation to the environment and the people around it. • The point of the focus is the subject but the environment is also visible. • Shows action rather than emotion. VIDEO TOOLKIT Medium Long Shot (MLS) • Also known as a three-quarters shot. • Frames the whole subject from the knees up. • An intermediate shot between the long shot and the medium shot. • Shows the subject in relation to the surroundings. • May be used when you have 2 or 3 persons in the frame. VIDEO TOOLKIT Medium Shot (MS) • Also known as the waist shot. • Frames the subject from the waist up. • Commonly used in interviews. • Directs the viewer to the subject. VIDEO TOOLKIT Medium Close-up (MCU) • Frames a subject's head and cuts off around mid-chest. • The focus is on the subject. • Reveals only a little of the surroundings. • Shows the facial expressions of the subject. • Commonly used for interviews in documentaries and news programs. VIDEO TOOLKIT Close-up (CU) • Frames a subject's face and cuts off mid- neck, showing the face and entire head. • The subject fills almost the entire frame. • Captures facial expressions and emotions. VIDEO TOOLKIT Extreme Close-up (ECU) • Frames just the person's facial features. • Frames only a portion of the subject. • Shows the person's emotions.

Emotion (51%) – It is true to the emotion of the moment. 2. Story (22%) – It advances the story. 3. Rhythm (10%) – It occurs at a moment that is rhythmically interesting and ‘right’. 4. Eye-trace (7%) – It acknowledges what you might call ‘eye-trace’ — the concern with the location and movement of the audience’s focus of interest at any one moment. 5. Two-dimensional plane of screen (6%) – It respects ‘planarity’ - the grammar of three dimensions transposed by photography to two (the questions of stage-line) 6. Three-dimensional space of action (4%) – It respects the three-dimensional continuity of the actual space (where people are in the room and in relation to one another).

  • 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.

You will also will be able to describe and demonstrate modern post-production practices which consist of the Digital Loader/Digital Imaging Technician (DIT), data management and digital dailies. You will comprehend, analyze and apply advanced practices in offline editing, online/conforming and color grading. You will be able to demonstrate proficiency in using non-linear editing software by editing individually assigned commercials, short narrative scenes and skill-based exercises. You will identify and analyze past, present and future trends in post-production. Students will also learn how to identify historically significant figures and their techniques as related to defining techniques and trends in post-production practices of television and film and distill your accumulated knowledge of post-production techniques by assembling a final master project. COURSE DESCRIPTION: Film editing evolved from the process of physically cutting and taping together pieces of film, using a viewer such as a Moviola or Steenbeck to look at the results. This course approaches the concept of editing holistically as a process of artistic synthesis rather than strictly as a specialized technical skill.

  • Film Studies Film Studies
    Summer School Film Studies Film Studies Progression to A Level Film Studies at Prior Pursglove College What is film studies? Film studies is an academic subject that aims to broaden your knowledge and understanding of film and the range of responses film can generate. We study mainstream American films from past and present, independent films, British films, non-English language films, silent films and significant film movements. You are assessed via 2 exams where you will have written a series of essays in response to questions, as well as a piece of coursework requiring you to make your own short film or write a screenplay for a short film and a written evaluation of your work. What makes an ideal film student? A passion for film, an interest in analysing the content of film, a keen essay writer, creative ideas. Preparing for film studies To help you prepare for the A Level a playlist has been compiled with 72 tasks on this worksheet to work through. We begin by learning the language of film – you will learn lots of new terminology covering camerawork, editing techniques, performance techniques, sound techniques and mise-en-scene features. We use these terms to analyse how films have been constructed. The first few videos in the playlist give examples of film language and teach you about their use and meaning. We explore representation in film – considering how ideas about the world are represented and how specific social groups are represented. Some videos have been included to explain representation in the media (including film) and what things to consider.

  • Motion-Based Video Synchronization
    ActionSnapping: Motion-based Video Synchronization Jean-Charles Bazin and Alexander Sorkine-Hornung Disney Research Abstract. Video synchronization is a fundamental step for many appli- cations in computer vision, ranging from video morphing to motion anal- ysis. We present a novel method for synchronizing action videos where a similar action is performed by different people at different times and different locations with different local speed changes, e.g., as in sports like weightlifting, baseball pitch, or dance. Our approach extends the popular \snapping" tool of video editing software and allows users to automatically snap action videos together in a timeline based on their content. Since the action can take place at different locations, exist- ing appearance-based methods are not appropriate. Our approach lever- ages motion information, and computes a nonlinear synchronization of the input videos to establish frame-to-frame temporal correspondences. We demonstrate our approach can be applied for video synchronization, video annotation, and action snapshots. Our approach has been success- fully evaluated with ground truth data and a user study. 1 Introduction Video synchronization aims to temporally align a set of input videos. It is at the core of a wide range of applications such as 3D reconstruction from multi- ple cameras [20], video morphing [27], facial performance manipulation [6, 10], and spatial compositing [44]. When several cameras are simultaneously used to acquire multiple viewpoint shots of a scene, synchronization can be trivially achieved using timecode information or camera triggers. However this approach is usually only available in professional settings. Alternatively, videos can be synchronized by computing a (fixed) time offset from the recorded audio sig- nals [20].

  • Resource Materials on the Learning and Teaching of Film This Set of Materials Aims to Develop Senior Secondary Students' Film
    Resource Materials on the Learning and Teaching of Film This set of materials aims to develop senior secondary students’ film analysis skills and provide guidelines on how to approach a film and develop critical responses to it. It covers the fundamentals of film study and is intended for use by Literature in English teachers to introduce film as a new literary genre to beginners. The materials can be used as a learning task in class to introduce basic film concepts and viewing skills to students before engaging them in close textual analysis of the set films. They can also be used as supplementary materials to extend students’ learning beyond the classroom and promote self-directed learning. The materials consist of two parts, each with the Student’s Copy and Teacher’s Notes. The Student’s Copy includes handouts and worksheets for students, while the Teacher’s Notes provides teaching steps and ideas, as well as suggested answers for teachers’ reference. Part 1 provides an overview of film study and introduces students to the fundamentals of film analysis. It includes the following sections: A. Key Aspects of Film Analysis B. Guiding Questions for Film Study C. Learning Activity – Writing a Short Review Part 2 provides opportunities for students to enrich their knowledge of different aspects of film analysis and to apply it in the study of a short film. The short film “My Shoes” has been chosen to illustrate and highlight different areas of cinematography (e.g. the use of music, camera shots, angles and movements, editing techniques). Explanatory notes and viewing activities are provided to improve students’ viewing skills and deepen their understanding of the cinematic techniques.

    PSA PRODUCTION GUIDE HOW TO CREATE A PSA HOW TO CREATE A STORY BOARD FREE VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARE HOW TO CREATE A PSA 1. Choose your topic. Pick a subject that is important to you, as well as one you can visualize. Keep your focus narrow and to the point. More than one idea confuses your audience, so have one main idea per PSA. 2. Time for some research - you need to know your stuff! Try to get the most current and up to date facts on your topic. Statistics and references can add to a PSA. You want to be convincing and accurate. 3. Consider your audience. Consider your target audience's needs, preferences, as well as the things that might turn them off. They are the ones you want to rally to action. The action suggested by the PSA can be spelled out or implied in your PSA, just make sure that message is clear. 4. Grab your audience's attention. You might use visual effects, an emotional response, humor, or surprise to catch your target audience. 5. Create a script and keep your script to a few simple statements. A 30-second PSA will typically require about 5 to 7 concise assertions. Highlight the major and minor points that you want to make. Be sure the information presented in the PSA is based on up-to-date, accurate research, findings and/or data. 6. Storyboard your script. 7. Film your footage and edit your PSA. 8. Find your audience and get their reaction. How do they respond and is it in the way you expected? Your goal is to call your audience to action.

  • Cinematic Storytelling
    Cinematic Storytelling is handout is a compilation of notes from the timeless book Cinematic Storytelling: e 100 Most Powerful Film Conventions Every Filmmaker Must Know by Jennifer Van Sijll (2005). Even though we have probably seen these conventions used hundreds of times in Hollywood "lms, many of us lack the awareness and vocabulary to identify the types of techniques used to create the shots in a movie sequence. is handout is a crash course to enable you to create more effective storyboards by revealing many of the techniques at your disposal to tell your story. Thoughts on filmmaking “I can pick up a screenplay and "ip through the pages. If all I see is dialog, dialog, dialog, I won’t even read it. I don’t care how good the dialog is -- it’s a moving picture. It has to move all the time... It’s not the stage. A movie audience doesn’t have the patience to sit and learn a lesson...” -- Robert Evans, “e Biggest Mistake Writers Make” “In many of the #lms now being made, there is very little cinema; they are mostly what I call ‘photographs of people talking.’ When we tell a story in cinema, we should resort to dialog only when it’s impossible to do otherwise... It is essential… to rely more on the visual than on the dialog. Whichever way you choose to stage the action, your main concern is to hold the audience’s fullest attention.” -- Alfred Hitchcock Famous silent movies like e Great Train Robbery and Metropolis had to use non-dialog techniques to carry character and plot.
