2. Match up- story how long a film is type a longer part of a film in one location a number of different locations in a film; edited one after the other into a coherent piece cutting a film a film clip which has not been cut a shot= editing= narrative= sequence = genre= exhibition length= scene=
3. Editing A film is shot on camera and then has to be edited. Shooting and editing â impossible to discuss one without the other- NOT IN ISOLATION
4. Why is editing so important? Editing gives narrative shape and coherence to all the shots the film has recorded. IT ALLOWS THE DIRECTOR TO CREATE MEANING
5. A shot A shot is an uninterrupted number of frames during which no cutting takes place. Within these frames the camera can pan, track, tilt dolly or be static. As long as there is no break in location or instant change of camera position we are in the same shot.
6. A scene- jumps!!! A scene is a section of a film that attempts to create the illusion of uninterrupted action taking place within one continuous space or place. Often highly edited, shift backwards, forwards between a series of viewpoints of different characters as an exchange between different characters for example.
7. skilled editingâŚâŚâŚâŚ we accept editing cuts/ jumps because of our familiarity with narrative conventions in film BUT ALSO skilled editors cover jumps ie shot / reverse shot. The editing moves when we want to hear the next character speakâŚediting pre-empts our spectator desire.
8. a sequence a sequence is a series of related scenes that for some clear and logical reason hold together as a coherent whole.
