camera movement
Film transitions
Cut (Straight cut, jump cut, match cut): Shot changes from one to another – the most common cut.
Dissolve: Shot melts into another – often shows passing of time.
Fade: Shot fades away and another shot appears. Fades to black often signify endings (of the day, scene or film)
Pace of editing
The speed at which the film cuts from one shot to the next makes a huge difference to the experience for the audience. Generally, slow cuts build tension while fast cuts suggest action and excitement.
Juxtaposition
The word juxtaposition literally means ‘the act of placing together side by side’. In editing, this is called Parallel Editing.
In film, two shots may be placed together to create meaning for the audience. E.g. A shot of the hero may be followed by a shot of his love interest to link these in the audience’s mind.
Rocket Jump film school on YouTube has an excellent video outlining cuts and transitions in editing:
1) Pick three aspects of camera movement in the Minority Report clip. Identify the type of camera movement and write about why the director chose to use that camera movement in the scene and what effect it has on the audience.
There was more camera movement in the start and as the movie started getting more interesting there was more cuts to show more action this glues the wathcer more into the movie and there was a;ot of cuts and a bit of fades and alot of
2) Pick two aspects of editing in the Minority Report clip and write about what effect it has on the audience.
