  1. Editing research

  2. Match on action • MATCH ON ACTION: This refers to film editing when cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action. • Although the two shots could be completely different locations or time periods, cutting on action creates an impression of continuous time in the film. For example in our case by having our actress begin an action in one shot (opening a door) and carry it through to completion in the next (walking into the room), we create a “visual bridge”, this distracts the viewer from noticing the cut and noticing any continuity errors between the two shots.

  3. Shot reverse shot • “A film technique wherein one character is shown looking (often off-screen) at another character, and then the other character is shown looking "back" at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer unconsciously assumes that they are looking at each other.” -Bordwell, David; Thompson, Kristin (2006). Film Art: An Introduction. New York: McGraw-Hill.

  4. 180 degree rule • This is the rule that a camera should be placed somewhere inside 180 degrees on a particular side of an invisible line of a shot containing two people filmed in sequence. • If the camera crosses this line, the viewers may get confused as it makes it look like the people are switching places instead of staying in the same spot.

  5. Soviet montage • The Soviet Montage movement started in 1924/25 and ended around 1930. • This type of editing focuses the more emotive and abstract qualities of a film. • A main aspect of Soviet Montage is how the cuts should inspire the spectator in different ways (e.g. emotionally). In contrast to how continuity editing which focuses on more taking the viewer through the film. Video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wm2bqBNVhlU

  6. Continuity editing • Continuity editing focuses more on the emphasizes of a smooth transition of time and space (from shot to shot). • A more complex continuity editing technique is where it also tries to show psychological continuity throughout the different shots. • A summary of what the aim of this type of editing is would be that it aims to create a scene so that any editing or transitions go unnoticed or are so smooth they’re almost invisible to the viewer who is being carried through.
