Editing Quiz

For our Editing quiz, we watched a slideshow on different clips of films which were labelled from 1-18, we watched these clips around five times and on the second time we were give a sheet to fill in, on the sheet it had names of different featured clip types, this is what i did.

clip of film 1- crosscutting, AKA parellel editing; editing that alternates shots of two or more lines of action occuring in different places, usually simultaneously. the two actions are therefor linked, associating the characters from both lines of action.

clip of film 2- cut in, cut away; an instaneous shift from a distant framing to a closer view of some portion of the same space, and vice versa.

clip of film 3- dissolve; A transation between two shots during which the first image gradually disappears while the second image gradually appears; for a moment the two images blend in superimposition. dissolves can be used as a fairly straightfoward editing device to link any two scene, or in more creative ways, for instance to suggest hallicinatory states.

clip of film 4- Iris; a round moving mask that can close down to a end scene (iris-out) or emphasize a detail or it can open to begin a scene (iris-in) or to reveak more space around a detial.

clip of film 5- Jump cut; an ellipitcal cut that aooears to be an interruption of a single shot. Either the figures seem to change instanly against a constant background, or the background changes instantly while the figures remain constant.

clip of film 6- rythem the perccived rate and regularity of sounds, series of shots, and movements within the shots. rythmic factors include beat (or pulse), accent (or stress), and tempo (or pace). rythem is one of the essential features of a film, for it decisively contributes to its mood and overall impression on the spectator. it is also one of the most complex to analyse, since it is achieved through the combination of mise-en-scene, cinematography, sound and editing.

clip of film 7- superimpostion; the exposure of more than one image on the same film strip. unlike a dissovle a superimpossition does not signify a transition from one scene to another.

clip of film 8- wipe; a transition betwen shots in which a line pases across the screen, eliminating the first shot as it goes replacing it with the next one.

clip of film 10- graphic match; two successive shots joined so as to create a stronge similarity of compositional elements (e.g, clours, shape)

clip of film 11- match on action; a cut which splices two different views of the same action together at the same moment in the movement, making it seem to continure uniterrupted.

clip of film 12- long take, AKA plan-sequence; a shot that continues for an usually lengthy item before the transition otthe next shot.

clip of film 13- overlapping editing

clip of film 14- wipe; a transition betwen shots in which a line pases across the screen, eliminating the first shot as it goes replacing it with the next one.

clip of film 18- continuity editing; a system of cutting to maintian continous and clear narrative action. continuty editing relies upon matching screen direction, position , and temporal relations from shot to shot. the film suports the viewers assumption that space and time are adjoining between successive shots.
