The Gloaming
What is editing?
The process of removing, adding and
manipulating source material to create footages and scenes before joining it
together to tell a story.
What is Elliptical editing?
A shot that suggests what may have
happened in a scene. E.g. a shot of the girl dozing by the fire at night and
then the next scene where she wakes up suggesting to the audience that she went
to sleep.
Why are long shots used?
It’s used to remind the audience
where they are.
What is ‘non-diagetic sound’?
The character can’t hear the music
but the audience can.
How do we know she is bending down to
pick up the ring? (What shots are used and why?)
She looks down at the floor and then
a close up is shown after of her hand picking up the ring and then a shot of her
looking at the ring in her hand as the audience makes the connection that she
picked up the ring.
Hustle
Overhead establishing shot – what
does this achieve?
Sets out the space where the action
takes place and where the characters positions within the room. And improves
the status of the character standing looking down.
What is Shot-Reverse-Shot?
Cutting back and forth between the
two shots with different characters but it is still the same scene.
What is Eye-line matching?
Where the characters in different shots
have the same line of sight e.g. the standing man is looking down in the scene
and the seated man is looking up in the scene it gives the audience the
impression they are looking at each other. Also uses shot-reverse-shot.
Why do we cut to the other members of
the group?
So the audience can see they’re
reaction to the plan and each other.
What is a wipe?
A video transition that ‘wipes’ away
the old scene and at the same time replaces it with the new setting.
What is the effect of using quick
cuts?
It gives a fast paced
feel to the film rhythm and keeps the story moving along and the audience on
their toes.
