EDITING TECHNIQUES:

Hello! In this class of the week, me and my class, are researching about "Editing techniques" of camera work. Im going to be showing you different types of these, in this post:

Cutting: the process where one shot is replaced on screen immediately by the next.

Shot / reverse shot: Cutting back and forth between people in an conversation.










Eyeline match: Cutting to show what a character is looking at.

Graphic match: Cutting to show another angle of the scene.

Action match: Cutting to show another angle of the scene.
















There are more different types of editing:

Jump cut: Cutting out the middle section of a shot.

Crosscutting: Cutting back and forth between two or more scenes happening simultaneously.

Slow motion: What it says. Moving or proceeding at a strikingly slow rate.

Dissolve: One shot fades out as the next shot fades in.

Fade put/ fade in: The image fades out to a blank screen, or fades in from a blank screen.

Superimposition: One image is placed on top of another image.

Long take:  A single continuous shot that does not cut for an unusual length of time. (e.g. over a minute)


Fast paced / slow paced editing: When the editing is fast paced the action will cut rapidly from shot to shot with each shot lasting only a few seconds. Slow paced editing will involve limited cutting from shot to shot.

SOUND

SOUND can represent social groups in a range of ways:

• The language and accent of a character.
• Use of music can tell you about the character.
• Ambient sounds can tell you about the setting.
• Dialogue.

Diegetic: Sound originating from a source in the scene, (e.g. dialogue)

Non- diegetic: Sound added in postproduction, (e.g. background music)

Sound motif: A sound or piece of music associated with a character, place or theme (like the JAWS)

Sound Bridge: Sound linking the end of one scene and the beginning of the next.

Dialogue: Words spoken by actors.

Voiceover: Dialogue spoken by an unseen character over related images.

Ambient sound: Background noise.

There are two more example of sound:

Direct address: When the actor speaks directly to the camera.

Sound mix: The way in which the different sounds in a scene are mixed together.

CAMERA MOVEMENT

 1. PAN: The camera move from side to side.           2. TILT: The camera moves up and down.

 3. TRACK: The camera follows a person or object.    

                                                                            4.CRANE: The camera moves up or down on a crane.

       

           
                           



 




5. STEADICAM: The camera is strapped to camera      
                                                                                              6. HANDHELD :A shaky handheld effect.
operators body, creates a gliding effect                      

                                                                               










7. ZOOM: The camera zooms in or out.                                                   

              

                                   

8. REVERSE-ROOM: The lenses zooms in or out whilst the camera moves in the opposite direction, creates the impressionthat background is constantly moving.
