  2. Reminder – Next week pre-sub crit • Be prepared! Have a slide show and a rough edit of video or some examples of post-product (effects) • Updated storyboard (if significant updates) • Include production stills – we want to see your lighting, sets, sound…. Anything of noteworthy you did.

  3. Week 13 – final Lab is your Crit • Week 13 – no regular Lab, final Lab is your crit time.

  4. today • Continue complexity editing • Introduce Experimental film

  5. Walter Murch: The Rule of Six • Emotion 51% • Story 23% • Rhythm 10% • Eye-Trace 7% • Two-dimensional plane of screen (stage line) 5% • Three-dimensional space of action 4% “What they (the audience) finally remember is not the editing, not the camerawork, not the performance, not even the story– it’s how they felt” -Walter Murch (p. 18)

  6. editing for Discontinuity • Editing for Discontinuity • •      Zettl calls this complexity editing. • •      It’s primary function is to intensify an event and reveal its complexity. • •      This does not have to be an either/or choice. • •      Continuity editing can be followed to a degree. • •      Degrees of continuity violations can be done spatially, temporally, rhythmically,and graphically. • Complexity Editing • •      A media artist can violate or ignore the 180 ° rule, presenting multiple spatial perspectives of same event. • •      A media artist can use a jump cut. • •      A media artist can make the camera circle around an ongoing conversation rather than cut back and forth. • •      In any case, continuity takes a back seat.

  7. I-clicker questions on continuity What is the name of this cut? • Eye-line match • Shot reverse shot • Establishing shot • Insert shot • Cut away

  8. I-clicker questions on continuity What is the name of this cut? • Eye-line match • Shot reverse shot • Establishing shot • Insert shot • Cut away

  9. I-clicker continuity What is the name of this cut? • Shot reverse shot • Graphic match • Insert shot • Match on action

  10. I-clicker continuity What is the name of this cut? • Shot reverse shot • Graphic match • Insert shot • Match on action

  11. i-clicker continuity Length shot is held is based on? • Story • Shot framing • Rhythm • content

  12. i-clicker continuity Length shot is held is based on? • Story • Shot framing • Rhythm • content

  13. Example of complexity editing In Scott Pilgram vs. the World editors broke with the continuity system to create an imaginary and dynamic world. They continually destabilized the audiences sense of time and space. http://www.artofthetitle.com/2011/01/03/scott-pilgrim-vs-the-world/

  14. Jump Cuts Jump CutA cut which breaks the continuity of time by jumping forward from one part of an action to another David Parsons, Five Bar Gate, 1976. Example: Bruce Conner “Breakaway”

  15. Parallel editing • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUKUe15WZkE

  16. Soviet Montage theory "montage is an idea that arises from the collision of independent thoughts" wherein "each sequential element is perceived not next to the other, but on top of the other” -- Sergei Eisenstein

  17. Soviet Montage theory Metric Montage The metric montage is a rhythmic structuring device. In its purest form, it consists of a series of related or unrelated images that are flashed on the screen at more or less equally spaced intervals. Comparison Collage The comparison montage consists of succeeding shots that juxtapose two events that are thematically related in order to express or reinforce a theme or basic idea. It is also used to construct a specific audience response Collision Montage In the collision montage, we juxtapose dissimilar events, and collide them in order to express or reinforce a concept or feeling. A simple illustrative example, provided by Eisenstein himself follows Analytical Montage In analytical montage you analyze an event for its thematic and structural elements, select the essential elements, and then synthesize them into an intensified screen event. The two basic types of analytical montage are sequential and sectional.

  20. What is experimental film • A film that rejects the conventions of mainstream movies and explores the possibilities of the medium itself. • Experimental films have been referred to as avant-garde, underground, personal, or independent • Arguably the most famous, important and discussed of ALL experimental films is Luis Bunuel’s Un ChienAndalou (An Andalusian Dog).

  21. Ballet Mécanique(1924) - American composer George Antheil and the filmmaker/artist Fernand Léger Abstract films some abstract films are organized around purely abstract forms, such as color, shape or movement, many abstract films begin with real objects

  22. Associational Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance, is a 1982 film directed by Godfrey Reggio with music omposedby Philip Glass and cinematography by Ron Fricke. Associational films are organized around the grouping of images or shots to create a poetic comparison. While the images may separately have no connection, how they are edited together makes a larger statement or impression.

  23. Films that explore motion itself In films such as Rhythm 21 and Rhythm 23, motion is choreographed in horizontal and vertical movements and scale changes of the forms to establish depth. The subject matter is reduced to nonobjective lines and rectangles that move in alignment to each to each other. Kranser 'Motion Graphics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEgULqLn5iU
