Research into Editing

Reaction shot: a shot that shows the reaction, this shot will be used in a thriller movie to show fear or anger of someone when something happens or something is said.
Movie: Orphan

In this scene it is obvious that the lady loves the white roses and probably has a memory about them, when she sees the flowers picked from their places in her face she gets angry and upset. Soon as she sees the flowers the camera zooms into her face with a change in the music and this is a simple example of a reaction shot.

Invisible editing: the film gets edited in such a way that you don't notice it , i.e the scene gets cut into another scene and we think its normal

Montage: Lot's of different shots or scenes getting put together in on sequence to create tension, this will be usefull in a thriller for example to show a killer and his memory's, this will confuse the audience and make them wonder what is going on and why it happend like that.

Slow editing: the time between two shows , the shot lasts longer between each edit

Straight cut: cut to the next shot

Fade out: the shot fading into black or fading from black to a scene , i.e at the end of an episode the scene fades into black

Dissolve: when the shot is blended in with another

Wipe cut: the shot moves to another shot

Jump out: when the shot suddenly focus's on something

Linked section: when a section of the film links with another section i.e flashback or flash forward

Linking shots: can show several images of someone growing to add emotional impact

Timing Shots: when shots are edited slower or faster to create suspense or emotional impact

Kulashov effect: two different shots that create a meaning , i.e a shot of someone that's holding his stomach and another shot with a man and gun in his hand, this will give the audience their own narration they would think the man got shot.
we usedd this shot in our film, with the mans ring and the girl holding the baby the audince inferred that this baby is from the man and he is married to that lady. also showing the knofe in the mans hand and the girl dead and a bag with red marks on it the audince again made their own narriation thinking that the man killed the girl and he stuffed her into the bag.

180' rule: the camera must be positioned in such a place that you see one side , we see from where the camera is placed.

Shot reverse shot:  is used in conversation , this allows us to be involved with the conversation , the camera would be behind who ever isn't talking

Graphic match: shapes from one shot to ,matches the shape of the other shot, i.e candles steam and the next shot will be a steam on top of the train.

 

( Psycho 1960 )

As a class we watched this scene up to 2.10 minutes and analysed the amount of editing they used before the attack and during the attack.

Before the attack they used 15 straight cuts and during the attack there was 25-30 straight cuts. the attack scene was only 25 seconds long and yet had so many editing. the editing fastens to show the action in the scene and to give tension to the audience. They also use Kulashov effect during the attack it showed shots of the girl's body and other shots of the murderer's hand held up with the knife which gives the audience the straight intention that she was getting stabbed.
The editing allowed them to change the position of the camera as they didn't have enough facility's and also to make the acting easier for the actors.

(Adulthood part 10)

for this we analysed the scene from the 30th second till 03:25 minute. we analysed the different editing styles used in one scene , straight cut , wipe cut, shot reverse shot was showing the conversation between the big guy and Sam, reaction shot showed the reaction of the people at every question that was asked i.e  the big man asked Sam why he was watching the time and the other guy looked at the camera and the camera showed a shot of his face to show his reaction of curiosity,this gives gets the audience involved because they know what is going on and when they as a question the audience get tense. Invisible editing was when they switched to the man driving and this part was also linked with kulashov editing because we don't no weather the man was going next to them , and the Kulashov effect allows the audience to narrate for themselves what going on. this scene also included a wipe cut ,when the man was driving next to them it wiped the cut which looked like the car was sliding the scene aside.. The shot reverse shot was also used every time someone talks this gets the audiences are involved with the conversation going on.

Slum Dog

The movie uses wipe cut at first to link back to his past, it shows us a flashback to when he was a little kid and how hard it had went past and the rough times he had went through.Another editing style they used was fast editing , at the flash back it was slow at first but when it showed his mother i suppose looking at the train and the sikism' people ruining towards them the editing got faster, this gives the audience tension and builds climax which helps emphasis the film because it GTE's the audience involved with the action going on .
