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?t=133)

Iris-it's when a black circle is used in a scene (https://youtu.be/YE7VzlLtp-4?t=486)

Wipe-it's when one shot is moved to another with a sliding animation (https://youtu.be/IK_iw5Yps2M?t=160)

Invisible cut-it's when two shots are made in one scene but we hardly notice it (https://youtu.be/n3bnMv3ULes?t=33)

L-cut-it's when the audio from the preceding scene continues to play over the footage from the following scene (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ek5qMsXHtU8&ab_channel=DutchHPfan1992)

J-cut-it's the reverse L-cut so we first hear and then see (https://youtu.be/d3EoAgv6A3s?t=108)

Critical Question 2

How does my product engage with my audience? Well firstly it’s important to find out what my audience is. They are people who are very likely to enjoy the thriller genre films and their age somewhere between the teen age and early 30’s, possibly middle class people because they can understand the pain which main character feels. The main character is fully in debt and the stranger who he meets in a café gives him an offer to murder someone so he’ll be paid enough money to return the debt. Many people who will watch this will ask very deep questions like ‘’What would I do on his place if I had debts too?’’. And also there are thriller fans of the same age as above described people. These are the category which use the film watching to feel the tension, the people found out the Fincher-style thrillers which give the cliffhangers and the viewers wonder what will happen next.

Cinemascope

  Cinemascope is an anamorphic process that compresses an image during filming and uncompresses it when projected. The process involves squeezing a wide image onto 35mm film so that it fits the physical celluloid's square frame. With the help of anamorphic projection lenses, this image is then unsqueezed, allowing for the full width of the image to be displayed. In the early days of cinema, French inventor Henri Chretien created and patented an anamorphic lens that could be used for motion pictures. However, back in the 1920's and 1930's, no one was really interested. That all changed in early 1950's, when motive studios were losing their audience to the rise of television. It was convenient, could be enjoyed at home and provided the same entertainment value as movies. However, in 1952, ''This Is Cinerama'', which displayed a widescreen image with three cameras and three projectors was becoming a smash hit across the country, albeit in limited theatres. ...
