Wednesday, 17 December 2014 Task Thirteen - Manipulating Time and SpaceMy Group and I have created a mini film using transitions and effects in order to make our story line more effective, as well as doing this we used a variety of new things that we have never used before such as the green screen when doing the news report. As well as this we have also used other editing techniques in order to make the clips look interesting.The reason why we have used editing techniques like this is so that it can bring tension to the audience, as well as this it would also allow the viewers to pay more attention to the film and think about where will our film go next.Posted byUnknownat03:21No comments: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to PinterestTask Twelve - Transitions and EffectsWithin the film making industry they are other techniques to make the film more interesting, this means that you can include transitions and effects. A transition is the movement from one shot to another, this can suggest different ideas to the audience which means that it is important to choose the right transition to match the scene. One of the most common transition used is called the straight cut, this is when one shot moves instantaneously without gaining any attention from the audience. They are been used to many times within film making which means that the viewers suspension of disbelief is not broken.




Within transitions they are other types, these can consist dissolves, fades, wipes and a graphic match.
A dissolve is when a shot fades into the next shot and the audience will be able to see both shots at a mid point. A dissolve means that the shots are connected in some way or even to show that time has passed. This is transition is used because it normally looks good in films but it is normally avoided within the film industry.



A fade is similar to a dissolve but it is a gradual darkening or lightening of an image or clip until the screen becomes black or white, they normally indicate the start or end of a particular section of time within the narrative.
Wipes are an unusual type of transition, this is when the transition pushes one clips to the other and as well as a dissolve it can be used to gain a sense of time has been moving on as well as something has happened in two different places.






Then we have a graphic match, this is when you deliberately choose two similar shots in the same shape by adding a dissolve. This is used so that you can show that two shots have been linked together, this is a special type of transition. An example of this would be Physco when the character gets murdered in the shower. This is one of the important ones because is is really smart on how they have used it, they used it to show represent her death has literally just gone down the drain.





On the other-hand we have effects, this is where you can simply add a colour or filter in order to give a sense of different time zones and how they are linked with the clip. An example of this would be the film The Wizard of Oz, when the hurricane hit Kansas and Dorothy woke up the colour change in order to represent a change in time.
Another effect would be using time and speed, this is where things have been sped to represent a huge change in time such as 100 years. An example of this would be the film Time Machine, this film used techniques which would include having to film two of the same shots twice in order to make it work, then you would have to record all of the day in order to represent the moving of the sun. But a modern day version of this technique would be Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.



So why would these techniques need to be used? We would want to use techniques like this so that we can give an affect to the audience, such as a fade representing that time has either gone back or has passed.Posted byUnknownat03:20No comments: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to PinterestTask Eleven - Creating Pace with Cross CuttingHere we created our own video in order to show how we understand pace, towards the end of the video is where it all started. There was an argument going on between the three characters, as the argument went on the speed between the shot reverse shots increased show to pace. Then however the argument had stopped and then showed the couple walking out of the room, the time between each scene had been decreased in order to represent the couple's relationship.Posted byUnknownat03:19No comments: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to PinterestTask Ten - Understanding PaceIn order for a film to be successful it would need to include pace, within pace there are a few points that should be included and they are engaging the view, the speed of editing, cross cutting, cutaways, creating pace and the development of drama.

To begin with what is engaging the viewer? This means that the viewer who it watching a film tends to be really focused on the film and does not look away, this then gets them thinking on what could happen next. This is a powerful technique within pace because it makes the viewers enjoy the film more and is intrigued ti know what is going to happen next.

Secondly is the speed of editing, this is the time difference between each scene where it could be a few seconds or even a few minutes between each scene. But the length of each sequence represent the pace of the film moving the action along, an example of this would be if there was love shown in one scene, the time between each scene would be longer compared to others.Then there is another technique within pace editing, this type of technique is known as creating pace. This is when you are filming a scene but when you come to the editing process, you can add in the clips in and change the way how long the clip is or how short. When using this technique it allows you to experience a sign of action or love. An example of this would be used in the fighting scene of The Bourne Ultimatum. But when the pace is slow it normally represents love, this is shown in the film The Notebook.

Thirdly is cross cutting, this is when you created a sequence but you re-order it in able to develop a sense of drama for the audience. This makes the film more interesting and more exciting for the audience so that they don't find it boring. An example of cross-cutting is when Casey died in the film Scream which was shown at the opening. This could also be seen as the development of drama. Drama was developed in this scene by Casey getting extremely worried about her getting killed, once she starts getting chased the cross cutting starts to become involved where we see her parents coming closer and closer to make its audience think will she make it? Just before she gets killed we know that she died and unfortunately did not make it in time.

Next up will be cutaways, this is when a film has been interrupted when being created on purpose shortly followed back to another scene. The reason why they have done this is to avoid using a jump cut so that they make sure does not confuse the audience in order to make it a basic film to understand.


Posted byUnknownat03:19No comments: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to PinterestTask Nine - Non-ContinuityNon-Continuity Editing
Non continuity editing is another style of editing yet it means that your videos will not be how they are meant to be, this style of editing has been around since the 1950s and the 1960s which made it very popular. Film makers such as Jean Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut pushed the limits of editing techniques and created something called the French New Wave. This is where films were used to create a carefree editing style in which it did not conform the normal way of editing, also known as Hollywood editing. This then meant that it drew a lot of attention and made the audience think a lot more than they normally do to a film, as well as seeing it in a different way. This is known as self-reflexive nature. In this time non-continuity editing became very active.

This meant that a few people took this on board, a French director known as Jean Luc Godard created a film called A Bout De Souffle where a specific scene involved a jump cut, this was when the mirror changed, a change in the background and the change of the lighting. This was used because Godard wanted to startle the audience in order to gain attention to a specific part. You would then have to think why was this used? Well this editing technique was used because when editing first came around everyone was using the same editing technique, so in order to spice things up a little bit Godard added a jump cut in order to get the audience thinking about the film.


Next was a film called The Shining who was created by Stanley Kubrick who broke the 180 degree. This was when a character's position has been switched around because of the camera angle being changed. But not only do the old films include this, modern day films still do this type of stuff. An example of this would be The Hunger Games, this was used to show how Katniss feels about her new environment. He decided to break the rule and use this technique in order to show the audience how she felt about her new living environment. As you can see in the two pictures below, it shows a camera and the character at one angle, it then shows the camera angle at the opposite side with the character on the right hand side rather than the left.

For each technique we was able to use it successfully, the video started of by using a eye line match to then a point of view. It shows the character doing his work and then turning around to look at the clock behind him, once he had turned around it then changed to a POV (Point Of View).
In the next part of the video was another character walking in the corridor and then walking into a classroom, this specific scene the technique shown was match on action.
Then we had the the conversation between the two characters which shown the technique of shot, reverse shot seeing as it was a conversation, at the same we made sure that we obeyed the 180 degree rule which shows that the characters are in the same position they should be in.Posted byUnknownat03:18No comments: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to PinterestTask Seven - Understanding Continuity Editing Understanding Continuity Editing


To begin with what it continuity editing? Well continuity editing is what has became known as the modern day and the most popular classical Hollywood style editing. The history of continuity started of by being developed by the early European and American directors, an example of this is shown in DW Griffith film named The Birth Of a Nation. In order to make this type of editing successful you would need to think about the specific techniques that can be used as well as thinking why is it important, well continuity editing is important because it helps maintain realistic time and helps give a feeling that time is moving forward.

Next up are the techniques that can be used in continuity editing, these techniques include match on-action, eye-line match, shot reverse shot and the 180 degree rule.
First up is the match on-action technique, this is where you can link two shots together when the character is doing an action. An example of this would be where the character is walking to a door and then the other shot is him/her walking in the door. This means that this technique would have to be filmed twice.


Next is eye-line, this is where you can also link two shots together in order to see the character doing something, but then the clip has been changed to a point of view to show the viewers what the character is looking at. This allows them to gain an insight of what it is like to be the character. They would use this technique in order to make between each shot look better than it already did.





Thirdly we have shot reverse shot which consists of two shots, the first shot will reveal one character and then the other will reveal the other character, this type of shot is normally used in a conversation. They would use this in a conversation to show a conversation is flowing smoothly as well as to show who is speaking to let the audience know.











Finally we have the 180 degree rule, this type of rule is a basic guide line in order to make films successful. This rule allows two or more character to stick to the position that they are in for when the recording begins, if the camera was to pass this line it is called crossing the line. In some films the directors would make the actors break the 180 degree in order to express how someone may feel or there might be a reason to why they have done this.
