1. Iat 202 lecture 07 • editing

2. reminders • Title Sequence due next week. • You should be reworking your storyboards and pitching ideas to anyone who will listen. • Filming on Burnaby campus must fill out permission form http://www.sfu.ca/fs/Services/Burnaby/Filming-On-Campus.html • Presubmissioncrit week 11. Must include production documentation e.g. lighting set-ups, location shots, etc.

3. Student example: camera movement http://vimeo.com/22203467

4. Video Editing The coordinating of one shot with the next. Shots are planned when shooting for how they may be assembled.

5. Editing • Hollywood film – 1000 to over 3000. • Editing shapes our experience & how we respond to a film

6. What is Editing? • The coordination of one shot with the next. • The duration of the of the shot and the way it joins to the next shot can affect the viewer’s reaction.

7. Dimensions of Film Editing oGraphic relations between shot A & B o Rhythmic relations between shot A & B o Spatial relations between shot A & B o temporal relations between shot A & B

8. Graphic Relations • Graphic Relations Between Shots Has to do with the pictorial and cinematographic qualities of the shots. • Can involve matching and contrasting these qualities.

13. Graphic Discontinuous • Implied Space: • The space that an object or person occupies is left empty in the next shot (they are implied as occupying that space). • Needs to have a strong relationship between shots. • Can be thought of as “call and answer”

14. Dimensions of Film Editing o Graphic relations between shot A & B oRhythmic relations between shot A & B o Spatial relations between shot A & B o temporal relations between shot A & B

15. Rhythmic Relations • Rhythmic Relations Between Shots Varying lengths of shots can create a rhythm and set a pace. • Length of shot and framing are connected i.e. a long shot is held for a longer period of time in classical editing

16. Continuity and Rhythmic Relations • Rhythmic Relations Between Shots Varying lengths of shots can create a rhythm and set a pace. • Length of shot and framing are connected i.e. a long shot is held for a longer period of time in classical editing

17. Rhythmic editing and shot length (Continuity) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmdAsL1n6q4&feature=related

18. Rhythmic editing using montage / jump cuts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoNATPsOsZk

19. Dimensions of Film Editing o Graphic relations between shot A & B o Rhythmic relations between shot A & B o Spatial relations between shot A & B o temporal relations between shot A & B

20. Spatial relations - • “I am kino-eye. I am builder. I have placed you... in an extraordinary room which did not exist until just now when I also created it. In this room there ar twelve walls, shot by me in various parts of the world. In bringing together shots of walls and details, I've managed to arrange them in an order that is pleasing. - DzigaVertov https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sUIxXCCFWw

21. Dimensions of Film Editing o Graphic relations between shot A & B o Rhythmic relations between shot A & B o Spatial relations between shot A & B o temporal relations between shot A & B

22. Temporal Relations • Editing creates order, duration and frequency. • Most narrative editing follow the story events in a 1-2-3 order • Flashbacks and flash forwards are techniques to mix that order up.

23. Temporal: order • Flashback, forward. Creating texture over linear sequence. Donnie Darko (good example) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mzR37e1EVk

24. Temporal: Duration In Continuity editing the length a shot is held is in relationship to framing. Closer shots are editing faster then long.

25. Temporal: Frequency https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps-v-kZzfec

26. Dimensions – applied to all styles o Graphic relations between shot A & B o Rhythmic relations between shot A & B o Spatial relations between shot A & B o temporal relations between shot A & B

27. Activity You will need your clickers.

28. Reminder of terms for activity • Cut Away - A type of shot that cuts away from action going on to focus on something else • Insert - A very close shot of some detail in a scene. • Cut on Action - editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action. • Point of View(POV) - what a character (the subject) is looking at (represented through the camera).

29. summary • When any two shots are joined, we can ask several questions: • How are the shots graphically continuous or discontinuous? • What rhythmic relations are created? • Are the shots spatially continuous? If not, what creates the discontinuity? (Crosscutting? Ambiguous cues?) If the shots are spatially continuous, how does the 180 degree system create the discontinuity? • Are the shots temporally continuous? If so, what creates the continuity? (for example, matches on action?) If not, what creates the discontinuity? (Crossing the line? Jump cuts?)
