Editing within Scenes

 

Hi there welcome back to or welcome to my blog if you're new !

We've recently spoke on previously, different camera angles and shots and a little on lighting. 

Being in this class has made me view tv shows and movies truly differently than what I'm normally used to and it's a bit crazy how much we miss out on within the elements of media. 

But anyways, on another note, today we're going to be talking about editing and how exactly each one differs and gives off a certain effect. 

We're only going to speak on a few this topic so your brain isn't as mind blown with so much information. 

    So first up we have, eyeliner match. Eyeline match is a bit self explanatory whereas the camera is usually being held on the individuals head and it's showing you a perspective of the subject(s) perspective and what they can see from their viewpoint. 

Next up we have jump cut. Jump cut shots are usually used like in a time lapse manner but a little bit slow. Jump Cut is where you jump from one scene to the next but cutting a few seconds off to show the immediate next movement in scene.

Now this one is my favorite and you may see this one mainly in movies but this form of editing is named, cross dissolve. Cross dissolve is basically the scene dissolving within itself and uses layers to show multiple scenes at once but to give the effect of a basic transition. It's mainly used for time lapse purposes in movies. 

Another one we usually see a lot is, cross cut editing. Cross cut editing is when scenes are being cut in the same time frame but in different settings. It's usually used for build ups and suspicious scenes or horror scenes that affects the audiences viewpoint on the situation.  

And Lastly for today another editing technique we have here is, the insert editing method. The insert editing method is used to mainly help the audience focus more on one specific item or subject within the scene. It's sometimes used in horror movies when the director is trying to emphasize the presence of a weapon or a person within the scene.

Well that's all for today ! Hope you enjoyed your editing lesson with me!

Maybe I'll do another, just stay tuned for more information, I promise you won't be disappointed :).
