Mr. River’s started the class of today by stating that our Be Reel Blog is due on Wednesday by 11:59 pm. If you did not complete your first blog that was due by the end of 2017 you still have to do that. We then began to review what we did on Friday. If you also weren’t here on Friday we went over assembly in film by Alfred. He discussed Eyeline match in our groups. It is made of three parts which are shot frames that switch between the character’s face that is looking somewhere to what they see, and back to character’s reaction.
We then went over what the purpose of editing choices and split it up into three categories. The notes this lesson included the following…
- Narrative
- Dialogue to string together conversation
- Provides continuity for cause and effect
- Plot - Story Structure
- Transitions
- Thematic
- Quality (Speed) This builds tension and tone
- Music which will give us the genre or mood
- Practical
- Cost
- Director’s choices/ reflection
- Honing in on skills to make it perfect
- Allows for post-production
- Transitions for a sense of clarity
After finishing this activity we switched to the article on google classroom that is listed below the one called assembly by Alfred. You can find the link to the website here → https://nofilmschool.com/2016/03/rocket-jump-film-cuts-and-types-transitions-editing .
There is a video on the website that goes over the different styles of cuts and transitions. It provides many examples of clips from movies that had these cuts and transitions. All of the transitions that were mentioned are listed below.
- Glossary of Cuts
- Cutting on action (cutting while there is movement on-screen)
- Cutaway (cutting to an insert shot and then back)
- Cross-cutting (back and forth between locations, ex: phone call)
- Jump cuts (disjointed edits in the same shot or action)
- Match cut (cut from one shot to a similar shot by either matching the action or composition)
- Glossary of Transitions
- Fade in/out (to/from black)
- Dissolve (blend shots)
- Smash cut (abrupt transition)
- Iris (old-fashioned; circle that opens and closes in camera)
- Wipes (screen wipes from one side to the other)
- Invisible cuts (impression of a single take)
- L-cut (audio transition)
- J-cut (audio of the next scene starts before you get to it)
