Why Is Editing And Why The Medium Of Film Need Editing?

The editing, use of frame and shot sizes in this sequence clearly establish the idea that every part of the aesthetics in Geman Expressionist films are important. This movement of film borrows some conventions from the films of the United States at this time, they use continuity editing to establish a clearly defined narrative. Similarily, the camerawork is “typically functional rather than spectacular”. This continuity style of editing emphasises the importance of story in this sequence, first the audience is shown a murder followed by the subsequent reaction, the narrative is clear cut and establishes the intended horror, common in German Exprassionist films. The camera work coupled with the editing style in this sequence highlight the other elements of the sequence including set, actors and lighting as well as emphasising the horror of the narrative to ensure that the audience is drawn into the terryfying world of Dr. Calligari. The realative normality of the editing and camerawork is used to highlight the unreality of the other visuals thus each technique is coordinated creating what Rotho would term “studio constructivism and a sense of completeness” that was produced across German Expressionist films (Kracauer 194). However, camera and editing can be and is used in this case both naturally and unaturally to create more horror. During the murder, the camera remains still and at eye-level but the victim is placed at the bottom of the frame to make him appear small and

Hi readers, for this weeks blog I will be talking about a book I got recommended by Mrs. Monaghan. The book is called Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. The main character Melinda Sordino is an outcast at her school. Everyday Melinda gets tormented by her ex best friend and the other students at the school. Her old best friend won’t talk to her and ignores her and the other kids glare at her. She’s very and shy and doesn't really speak much which is funny considering the title is called speak. So far I am really liking the concept of the book.

minutes in a film. Different shots can manage to portray completely different emotions, that of

Ashley told Billy that she loves her first grade class. She explained to Billy that she learned to count by 5 and 10. Also she is able to read books to herself. She cannot wait to read the princess book series that Billy bought for her. School and social interaction play an important role during this time of a child’s life. Through social interactions, children begin to develop a sense of pride in their accomplishments and abilities.

There was a girl who was teased, mocked and the garage can for them. The girl wanted to speak up for herself, but she didn't know how. Until one day, she broke out of her shell and she is still known today. In this paper, I want to to tell you why I want to learn to speak up, then do it and then inform you how I did it.

‘In film framing is important because it actively defines the image for us’ (Bordwell & Thomson, 2000, 208). Framing and composition is equally a very important part of making a film, using particular shots in certain ways helps the view understand the concept of the scene. Similar to viewpoint and proxemics the sequence starts with the use of fast paced close up shots. The shots used in the opening minute flash on and off screen, this style of composition gives off a very

“I have never spoken one single word. I am almost eleven years old,” (2). Melody, the main character, is disabled with cerebral palsy. She can’t walk or talk, and she can’t write. It sucks, but she is very intelligent, and probably has a photographic memory. Melody is very different from the rest of the world, because she is disabled, is kind of crazy, but really kind and smart, and a lot of fifth graders aren’t.

Film is nothing more than the collection of moving pictures, and these images go to great lengths to transport its audience to a different historical context, whether it is a different location or period or the combination of both. Very few films are successful without the presence of a backdrop. Cinematic architecture can be broken into many sensory components. Everything that is shown in front of the camera is enveloped by the mise-en-scène. Architecture and its presence in the compositional scene is a make-up of several visual components. These include forms, lines, masses and negative space. Each speaks their language and how they can be interpreted. For instances, masses carry a visual weight, whereas form implies spatial relationships. A visually aesthetic experience is projected. The sense of emotion and interpretation of the featured space is then projected into the scene using lighting, sound, and post-production editing. An individual’s interpretation of the space is determined by multiple inputs in a heightened sensory state. The atmosphere establishes a theme or character traits that are

The clever use of the camera techniques such as close up, contributes a great deal to the mood of the scene and how the characters are feeling in the film. By having a close up on one of the characters, the shot is then close

Editing is one of the most important parts of filmmaking. Film Editing is one of my favorite things to do. But let’s get to the point. I have recently graduated from a recognized film school and I just created a short film that goes viral. I am anxious for a TV/ film production company to see my produced video. Or if that doesn’t work you make ads to get your name out there for local job openings, or recruitments. Well no one’s interested in an award winning filmmaker! A production company with standards is not going to consider a student who just graduated from a film school. A degree in law, master’s or engineering degree all are bait for finding a job easily. Sure I may know how to block a scene, move a dolly, edit, correct colors and mix

The various camera shots and angles used in the scene are able to transmit to the audience a sense of humour and amusement.

I looked at Mr. Dressler and I realized by the sadness in his eyes that he pitied me. He saw a girl whose parents didn’t care much about her. A girl who was alone in a strange city, without a single friend. He replied with a new hopeful energy in his voice, “Why don’t we stop for a bit of ice cream and a little drive through tour of the city, that way you won’t be completely discombobulated in this big

The main theory I want to utilize is that of D. W. Griffith’s “Dramatic Construction”. D. W. Griffith in its modern sense is the acknowledged father of film editing (Dancyger, 2001:5). When it comes to full range of dramatic construction: the variation of shots for impact, including the extreme long shot, the close-up, the cutaway, and the tracking shot; parallel editing; and variations in pace his contributions cover all of these (Dancyger, 2001:5). Griffith learned how to make the juxtaposition of shots have a far greater dramatic impact than his predecessor (Dancyger, 2001:5). Griffith experimented with the fragmentation of scenes. His goal was to enhance his audience’s emotional involvement with his films (Dancyger, 2001:5). I would like to use this theory because when dealing with our films concept. I want the audience to be emotionally involved with Andy and Jess throughout their journey in the film. To achieve this I will

In the filmmaking world, the different uses of cinematography are endless. In many cases, a director’s editing techniques and narrative are so distinct that one might differentiate the film’s director just by examining its cinematic language. For example, Steven Spielberg uses signature works in many of his films that allow viewers to categorize them as his own. Spielberg, a famous Hollywood style director, was born in Ohio. He kicked off his Hollywood career after directing his low budget films Firelight and Amblin’. After he signed his contract with Universal Studios, the director went on to film record-breaking movies. A few of Spielberg’s movies include Jaws, Jurassic Park, and E.T. The Extra Terrestrial. These films share some of this iconic filmmaker’s trademarks such as the long take, character expressions, and the reoccurring theme of family.

The Sound of a Voice explores the many failed attempts by two characters to overcome their doubts and fears that they have for each other when they first meet for a brief time. As a few weeks pass by, the two become quite familiar with each other, but yet they still treat each other with their own personal suspicions. The man has a fear that he will become emotionally mixed up and the woman believes that the man will leave her like many of the other men in the past that came to her only to leave once again isolated in the woods. Both of the characters have rooted their suspicions in very customary views of what women and men are supposed to be like, and it is these embedded views that avert them from establishing the intimacy that both of them crave and long for.
