Editing and Film Graphic Organizer #4

 

discontinuity editing: the editor will purposely use shots that have nothing to do with the shot to confuse the audience -Engages attention from the audience -Forces the audience to guess the intention of the plot -Keeps the audience wanting a more

establishing shot The first shot that provides an overview of the scene -Lets the audience know the surrounding setting -Gives an overview of what could be lurking around -Create tone

eyeline match: An editing technique that shows where the character is looking -Shows what the character sees -Gives a first-person POV -Better allows for the audience to follow dialog

Crosscutting: Used to established action occurring at the same time and place -Audience sees everything that is happening -Allows the audience to know things before the character does - Makes situations clear for the audience

j cut: Audio from the following scene overlaps the picture from the preceding scene -Intrigues the audience -Shows what's coming next -Can add suspense

Fade-out: When a scene gradually turns to a single color usually black or white -Used as a transition -Contrast cut -Allows for a clean flow from one scene to the other

short take: Brief recordings of scenes -Is taken as a backup -Mostly used as filler  -Is recorded in case a scene gets messed up

Post-production: The editing of audio and visuals to create a film -This is what makes the movie -Creates pace -This allows for the story to be told a certain way
