Document Summary
Makes decisions about what takes or shots should appear on screen and for how long. Linear editing- moving shots from original source (ie. film) to a master, one-by- one; no use of a computer. Non-linear editing- utilizes computers to aid in the editing process; essentially a digital visual cut-and-paste method. Sequence- series of scenes with a related idea. Editing to establish setting in classical hollywood: Begin with an establishing or master shot- provides setting, usually followed with closer shots. Cut to medium shot for more detail. Cut to a close up to emphasize a specific detail of character. Fade out/in- last imae goes dark, new image brightens. Dissolve- end of 1 shot merges into beginning of the next; superimposition is used. Form cut of graphic match- shape of an object in one shot is matched to shape in another. Wipe-line- moves across the screen and wipes away the previous image. Elliptical editing- edit to consume less screen time than reality.
