Research: Vocabulary on Editing

 Here are some vocab words from different types of editing that we research today. We found some key ideas for each and I feel as though that would help us to decide upon how we want to edit our opening sequence. We also research what an editor is and what their important job is in the film industry.

3 Key Ideas

1. Editor

A person who is in charge of and determines the final content of a text, particularly a newspaper or magazine.

 

Editors offer comments to improve the product and suggest titles and headlines.

 

2. Continuity Editing

The process of editing together different but related shots to give viewers the experience of a consistent story in both time and space.

 

An example of this would be a  shot of someone tossing a ball can be edited to show two different view.

3. Discontinuity Editing

An editing style that is the opposite of classical editing.

 

In a discontinuous sequence, the filmmaker will deliberately use an arrangement of shots that seem out of place or confusing relative to a traditional narrative.

 

4. Spatial Editing

When the relations between shots function to construct film space.

 

The Establishing Shot or sequence serves to situate the audience within a particular environment or setting and/ or to introduce an important character or characters.

 

5. Temporal Editing

When the relations between shots function to control time.

 

Works to convey the order, duration, or frequency of events.

 

6. Grapic editing

Changing or improving graphics images.

Graphic editing software allows you to create or edit computer graphics like app icons, web graphics, images, or even clip arts.

 

7. Establishing shot

The first shot in a scene that provides an overview of the setting.

Often shot from above as an aerial shot, offering a view from a distance that helps the audience orient themselves to identify the time and/or location in which the scene is occurring.

 

8. 180 degree rule

A cinematography rule concerning the space between two actors within a frame.

Keeping the camera on one side of the 180-degree line makes sure the actors keep the same left/right relationship with one another. Scenes filmed this way look orderly and can be easily followed.

 

 

9. Rhythmic editing

When the relations between shots function to control film pace.

A shot's physical length corresponds to a measurable duration. rhythmic function occurs when several shot lengths form a discernable pattern. equal length will create a steady metrical beat.
