Types of Editing

Cutting on action-it's when an editor cuts in the middle of an action to another shot that matches the first shot's action ( https://youtu.be/yL9rSwrsMHw?t=189 ) Cut away-it's the interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else ( https://youtu.be/_CImWc7og28?t=109 ) Cross cut-it's the editing technique of switching back and forth between scenes ( https://youtu.be/xds1NklC-Gs?t=63 ) Jump cut-it's an editing technique that cuts between two sequential shots ( https://youtu.be/pAFUn4Dwk54?t=44 ) Match cut-it's an edit in cinematography that uses elements of one scene ( https://youtu.be/KALd3ynNH60?t=28 ) Fade in/out-it's when a shot appears gradually out of darkness or disappears into darkness ( https://youtu.be/RBAmLm_jYyY?t=90 ) Dissolve-it's a gradual transition from one image to another ( https://youtu.be/7z2Ignq93nE?t=115 ) Smash cut-it's a sharp, abrupt cut from one scene to another ( https://youtu.be/4TR1O6O5FqY?

Feminist Theories in Noir

  The feminist theories can really work in noir films. For example we can have Laura Mulvey because we see that men are mostly the centre of the plot. While women in noir play mostly supporting role rather than main role. Also the appearance of women is always good-looking which sometimes makes them look like nothing but an object which is Van Zoonen theory. They sometimes act as weak while male characters are portrayed strong physically.

Feminism Media Theorists

  It so happened that the most part of our history had the world being ruled by men and women had got theequal rights with men only in the beginning of 20th century when a lot of changes in society happened. However if talking about films, some theorists are of opinion that patriarchal society hasn't vanished yet. Today's blog is about three main feminist theorists in movies. Laura Mulvey is a British feminist film theorist, author of idea in which women in the media are viewed from the eyes of heterosexual men. This idea is also known as ''Male Gaze Theory''. In this theory it's written that products assume the audience is male and presents women for their pleasure. Men in media are often at the centre of action/plot and they're represented as dominant while playing an active role in a storyline. While women in films are often passive playing minor roles in the narrative and they have things done to them rather than doing anything themselves. Another im

Representation of Gender in Noir

Representation

 Representation can mean the showing of reality buy filmmaking and media. Sometimes that can be a useful to use it but sometimes not, it all depends on the way of representation. The representation may have a massive effect on a viewer. For example some of us have never been to New York, seen Hollywood celebrities, visited some beautiful tourist attractions etc. But with the help of representation we think that we already know everything about place or person. The keyword is ''think'' because representation doesn't give us the exact picture of reality, it just takes some parts of it. The full trust in representations may sometimes give us the false showing of what is partly reality but not exact reality. That is called stereotypes. By representation of false reality we can think that it's always snowy in Russia, French people are romantic and British people drink a lot of tea. These factors can be seen but the problem is that it's not fully true. But also st
