Editing Introduction Worksheet

The Gloaming

Editing is the process of selecting from difference shot and joining them together to tell the story. Elliptical editing is allow us to fill in the gap, move the story on more quickly, and take up less actual time on screen.The choice of the long shot can tell us when the character is and what position she in."Non-diagetic sound" is a sound of music playing underneath the sound of nature, the music isn't playing in real, the character can't here it but the viewer can. We know the character is bending down to pick up the ring without actual see it because the character look down then the camera focus on the ring on the grass so we can fill in the gap and make the connection that the ring is what she looking at. the director cutting 2 image together is quicker but still make views understand the same point.

Hustle

The overhead establishing shot show where the action was take places, and the character position within the room. Shot-Reverse-Shot is cutting back and forward between the two characters, we can see that they looking at and talking to each other. Eye-line matching is when the men who standing up look off screen and down, the men who sitting look off screen and up so we can guess from the angle of their eyes that they looking at each other. We cut to the other members of the group so we can see their faces and the reaction supposed to the plan and to each other. The wipe is the slick transition move the action to the different location and time. the quick cut keep the story moving along and the audience's attention.

Editing build tension and pace for the film by many technique like change many shot quickly, keep an eyes out for the cut from one character to another from long shot to close up, reaction shot for the main character, at the end, making the shot shorter and more frequent. Crosscutting is the cut between back and forward shot, the shot could be various from close up to long shot.Seamless editing is when the audience don't really notice the work of the editor. Jump cut is the cut between two different shot that unexpected in order to expose the edit rather than hide. Flash back is take the audience from one point in time to another in order to show what happen in the past, a key moment or the period in the character's life which explain how they got to where they are now, making the situation much more complex and emotional. Editing can be used poetically when they put different shop that don't have and relationship next to each other in order to make the viewer work harder to find the meaning to construct the story.

In the beginning, the couple go honey moon and then the girl stay alone in the forest, reaction the girl’s face to show the freaking out emotion then flash back when the couple still stay happy together. The editor then use the wipe between present and the past to show two opposite situation with the non-diagetic sound call viewer attention and build tension and pace.

Editing Essay

“What make the movie the movie is the editing” - said by Zach Staenberg, editor of Bound and The Matrix Trilogy. Editing is one of the most importand part of the creative post-production process of filmmaking. The film editor works with the raw footage, selecting shots and combining them into sequences to create a finished motion picture. Film editing is described as an art or skill, the only art that is unique to cinema, separating filmmaking from other art forms that preceded it, although there are close parallels to the editing process in other art forms such as poetry and novel writing. Film editing is often referred to as the "invisible art” because when it is well-practiced, the viewer can become so engaged that he or she is not even aware of the editor's work.The invention of editing gave birth to the new word, and a new language, a language that can transported in the blink of an eyes, from the vastness of the desired to the mystery of the human fate. A cut can bridge millions of years, connecting the past to the imagination future. Editing can slowdown time or speed it up. A choice in length of shot shape the response of everything we see on the screen. Two of the most importand editor in the contribution to the history of editing are Edwin S. Porter and D.W Griffiths.

Edwin S. Porter was an American film pioneer, most famous as a producer, director, studio manager and cinematographer with the Edison Manufacturing Company and the Famous Players Film Company between 1903-1905 he successfully demonstrated most of the techniques that were to become the more common visual aids used to communicate through film. An example of this work is called continuity editing. He is often credited with discovery of the basic syntactic unit of the narrative film, describing it as the "shot" rather than the scene (which is the basic unit of the stage). Instead of using abrupt splices or cuts between shots, Porter created dissolves, which are gradual transition from one image to another.

In his film Life of an American Fireman this technique helped audiences to follow complex outdoor movement. He also used double exposure in the first scene to create the fireman's dream image. In 1903 came what many believe is Porter's masterpiece, The Great Train Robbery. This film was the first American film in which each successive scene moved the story forward, from hold up, to getaway, to chase scene to their capture. Porter's story line was exciting, got the audience involved, and moved them in ways that had never been used before. Including one scene where a gun was pointed directly toward the screen, which frightened many who saw it.

D.W Griffiths was the first film maker to understand the psychological important of editing. Working a decade after Porter, he did than any one else to advance the story telling to what Porter has developed. Griffiths invented a popularise technique that is stabilize the basic grammar of film. He was the first man use the close up to draw audience in to the emotional world of his character.

Griffith began making short films in 1908, and released his first feature, Judith of Bethulia, in 1913. His film The Birth of a Nationmade pioneering use of advanced camera and narrative techniques, and its immense popularity set the stage for the dominance of the feature-length film in the United States. That film not only has close up, but it also has flash back, parallax, it has all of the thing that make the audience’s attetion focused on the certain part of the frame. For his pioneering techniques and early understanding of cinema, Griffith is considered among the most important figures in the history of the medium.

Their works have influenced film making for a long time, most of their editing techniques are still practice today.

Martin Charles Scorsese is an American director, producer, screenwriter, actor, and film historian, whose career spans more than 45 years. Scorsese's body of work addresses such themes as Sicilian-American identity, Roman Catholic concepts of guilt and redemption, machismo, modern crime, and gang conflict. Many of his films are also notable for their depiction of violence and liberal use of profanity.Part of the New Hollywood wave of filmmaking, he is widely regarded as one of the most significant and influential filmmakers in cinema history.

Taxi Driver followed in 1976—Scorsese's dark, urban nightmare of one lonely man's slow descent into insanity.The film established Scorsese as an accomplished filmmaker and also brought attention to cinematographer Michael Chapman, whose style tends towards high contrasts, strong colors, and complex camera movements.

Rob Cohen - director of “Fast and Furious” had said: “An editing is why people like movies. Because in the end, would we like to edit our own lifes? I think we would, I think everybody would like to take out the bad parts, take our the slow parts and look deeper into the good parts.” With me, editing is the most impotand part which is decided the film gonna interesting or not. Nowadays, with many development in technology, special in 3d film, editing become the Magic wand help people make impossible dream come true.
