EDITING TERMS
_________________________
is 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.
An _________________ is a popular editing
technique associated with the continuity editing
system. It is based on the premise that the audience will want to see what the
character on-screen is seeing. The ________________-begins with a character
looking at something off-screen, there will then be a cut to the object or
person at which he is looking. For example, a man is looking off-screen to his
left, and then the film cuts to a television that he is watching.
______________________ Two
successive shots joined so as to create a strong similarity of compositional
elements (e.g., color, shape). Used in trasparent continuity styles to smooth the transition
between two shots.
A
___________________ is a cut in film editing where the middle section of a
continuous shot is removed, and the beginning and end of the shot are then
joined together. The technique breaks continuity in time and produces a
startling effect. Any moving objects in the shot will appear to jump to a new
position.
____________________ is an editing technique used in films
to establish continuity. In a cross-cut, the camera will cut away from one action to another action.
Because the shots occur one after another, ________________ is used to suggest
simultaneity of action. However, it can also be used to link significant
actions that do not occur simultaneously. Suspense is built by using _______________.
It is built through the expectations that it creates and in the hopes that it
will be explained with time. ________________ also forms parallels; it
illustrates a narrative action that happens in several places at approximately
the same time.
In
film,
a ____________________ is the
interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something
else. It is usually, although not always, followed by a cutback to the first
shot. ________________ usually do not contribute any dramatic content of their
own, but help the editor assemble a
longer sequence. For this reason, editors choose cutaways related to the main
action, such as another action or object in the same location.[1] For example, if the main
shot is of a man walking down an alley, possible cutaways may include a shot of
a cat on a nearby dumpster or a shot of a woman watching from a window
overhead.
In
film,
an _________________ is a shot
of part of a scene as filmed
from a different angle and/or focal length from the master shot. Inserts cover action already
covered in the master shot, but emphasize a different aspect of that action due
to the different framing. An insert is different from a cutaway in that the cutaway is of action not covered in the master shot.
