It is where the final film is put together in the vision that broadcasting company has. The editing process also determines how the film is shown to the audience and how the audience will then read it. We edit as it allows the broadcasting company to show there vision and plan to the audience. With this is then allows the audience to follow the action. With editing you can then get in 2 different places at once with multiple view points allows the audience to see different perspectives. With editing you can add different effects to create different feelings for a scene and example of this is if you edit the pace of the scene down it creates a sense of tension and drama. If you speed the scene up it creates action and excitement to the scene. People also edit to create a story every story has a start, middle and an end, they will put scenes different so that the films makes sense. People will first make a story-board so they know what the final product will look like. ]]> 2019-03-18 15:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/342442909 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/342458863 Horror films are edited differently to other films as the genre is different and it wants to make the audience feel on edge. They will start scenes off we wide shots to show the setting and how it may be different tor isolated. This effect makes the audience feel alone when watching the film. Horror films will also use close up shots to show us the characters emotions and to help us emphasise with the character. They will also use grudge handheld camera this gives the effect of a jerky, ragged effect. This helps to add realism and helps to make the audience feel as though they are part of the scene. The scenes will also be poorly lit with something suddenly appearing on the scene to frighten and shock the audience an example of this is below. ]]> 2019-03-18 15:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/342458863 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/342464075 The example below is from the horror film Get Out. The scene starts with a shot of the house showing the audience that there is no one around and that the character is isolated. We then start to hear a cricket sound effect telling the audience that it is that silent that you can only hear the insects outside. The main character then enters the scene with the cricket sound effect still being heard in the background. We then get a shot of what the main character is looking at. He is looking in the distance nothing but trees can be seen. We then see the character again pulling out a cigarette. We then see the character look back up to the place he was looking at from the start. We see a small figure running towards him and creeping fast paced music starts in the background we see the figure get closer and closer with the music still being heard in the background but getting increasable louder as the figure gets closer. These techniques would make the audience feel nervous and on edge as they are unsure about what is going to happen and also worried as to why the music is getting louder.  ]]> 2019-03-18 15:38:58 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/342464075 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/342474821 In the example I have used for action is this scene from Captain America The Winter Solider where we see Captain America, Black Widow and The Falcon fight against The Winter Solider. In this scene there are many different things that happens that makes it a action sequence. We see fighting in the scene which is highly associated with action. We also see explosions. The editing in this scene is quick with different scenes being cut in at a quick pace to create excitement. We also have quick music that creates more excitement for the audience. With the quick cutting we get to see all 3 characters fight the winter solider differently.  ]]> 2019-03-18 15:57:11 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/342474821 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343052338 Film: Batman V Superman 
Scene: Batman Warehouse ]]> 2019-03-19 19:21:12 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343052338 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343052543 The scene that I will analyse is an action scene. In this scene we have quick cuts, action, gadgets, small explosions and also quick music. This film was produced by DC and directed by Zack Snyder. ]]> 2019-03-19 19:21:39 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343052543 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343052891 Here we see the behind the scenes of the action scene here we see how this scene we created and also developed. We also see what equipment is used to capture the scene. We see a stabiliser camera see the shot is steady therefore we can focus on the action. We see the different probs and stunt doubles used in the scene. We also see tracking shots following batman throughout the scene. We also see middle shots with a normal camera. These 3 different camera methods helps to show the audience different angles of the fight in the warehouse and also makes it able to have quick cuts on the same scenes. ]]> 2019-03-19 19:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343052891 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343060972 A Russian filmmaker named Eisenstein developed the editing techniques furthers with the idea of a montage. The montage is where shots are put in sequence to condense time. ]]> 2019-03-19 19:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343060972 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343064223 In the rocky example it adds all of the clips together together of rocky training and getting ready for his fight. It also uses music in the background. This is done to shorten down the time of this sequence. ]]> 2019-03-19 19:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343064223 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343064710 In this example we see Bruce Wayne training for the fight against superman. In this scene we see him training differently. We see him then focusing on finding out about different characters. There is no speech in this scene with just music and different montages so the audience understand what happens. This helps to condense the time. ]]> 2019-03-19 19:50:38 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343064710 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343066228 The 180 Degree Rule is an imaginary line that works as a guide for where the camera could be placed. The camera should not cut from one side of this imaginary line to the other. Breaking the rule has the disruptive effect of confusing the audience who is watching making them then stop and think. This means that they may break away from the film temporarily as they try to re-adjust. ]]> 2019-03-19 19:55:10 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343066228 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343067584 Cuts- This is used so the audience can have different perspectives of the action. 

Dissolve- A dissolve is a gradual transition from one image to another. 

Fade- The fade transition effect is where the image slowly disappears into a black. 

Wipe- The wipe transition is where on shot is replaced by another shot travelling from one side of the frame to another. 

POV shot- A POV shot shows us the point of view of the character we can see. It shows us what the character can see and helps to engage the audience. 

Shot Reverse Shot- The shot reverse shot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character this character may also be off-screen and with this the other character is shown looking back at the first character. 

Cutaways- A cutaway is the interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else. ]]> 2019-03-19 19:59:28 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343067584 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343407993 2019-03-20 16:01:32 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343407993 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343525796 The editing allows the audience to see different things in the scene or to see what the character is looking at therefore the audience understands what is happening in the scene. Editing can also be used to show us what the character is feeling this can be with close ups. Editing can also adds cuts to different parts of the scene. ]]> 2019-03-20 19:56:32 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343525796 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343526540 Withholding information is a big part of the cinema this is because the audience do not want to be told the plot from the beginning. 
In this clip it shows us the perspective of the man in the house, the police officers and the mailman. We also see the woman. This withholds information to the audience at it cuts betweens 4 different characters and shows what each character is doing therefore the audience doesn't see it from one character. ]]> 2019-03-20 19:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343526540 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343526732 Cutting to a rhythm is a different way of editing a video so that each clip changes at the same time as a beat of a track. Most scenes uses the cut transition when this happens.

In the example below of baby driver we see the scene cut to a beat when they are getting chased by the police. On each siren of the police car the angle and clip cuts to another. ]]> 2019-03-20 19:59:05 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343526732 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343853954 The Lumiere brothers were the early pioneers of film making. In 1895 they created the cinematograph which worked as both a camera and a projector. The Lumiere brother shot on film but there films were edited in the camera which means the filmmaker has to shoot the footage in the sequence, editing as they go along. In the editing process cuts would be made by simply brining a stop to the film. 
DW Griffith was seen as an early pioneer of the editing process as he developed the idea of putting together different types of shots, movements and angles in order to give a film more sense of pacing.

Between 1910 and 1920 a Russian filmmaker Lev Kuleshov experimented with editing and emotional response. They would first film an actors response to different images; a bowl of soup, a woman and a child in a coffin. In the film it appears that the actors are expression does not change, when juxtaposed with the three shots it may suggest to the audience that it does.]]> 2019-03-21 15:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343853954 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343857872 Shot Variation is the technique that is used in a film to create a sequence of images using different movements. These different shots included a wide shot as this type of shot is commonly used at the start of a film/sequence. This is done to set the tone of the scene as well as enabling the audience to grasp the concept of the scene. 

Below is an example of different shots being used this example uses multiple camera shots in scenes such as long shots, medium shots and close ups. These are all used in scenes to show different emotions in the scene.]]> 2019-03-21 15:43:14 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343857872 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343868834 Before we was able to digital edit people would have to edit there film by analogue which is physical editing. An Analogue editing is where the film is cut using a splicer which you would then have to places the pieces of film together physically in the sequence you would want and glue them together. Splicing is then used in analogue editing it then allows the editor to cut the film and line the film and place in order and the cut of the film is where they want. After splicing the film would then be glued together. ]]> 2019-03-21 16:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343868834 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343873626 Digital editing is the newest way of editing a film and is used more than analogue in the present day. Digital editing is where the footage of the film is edited on a computer using the editing software. This allows you to add more than you would be able to when using analogue editing. An example of this is that you can add effects onto the footage and text which you cannot do with analogue. ]]> 2019-03-21 16:11:39 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/343873626 haydenhat1 https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/345269099 2019-03-26 14:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenhat1/ea70s9768epx/wish/345269099
