FS103 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: 180-Degree Rule, Jump Cut, Independent Film
Document Summary
To horrors from beyond the grave: but, horror and science fiction have a different tone. Science fiction creates wonder through special effects spectacles. Horror relates personal fear through editing, lighting, and sound: compare, metropolis (fritz lang, 1927, nosferatu (1922) Editing for continuity and suspense: editing: the process of joining two or more shots . Shots are joined into scene and the editor moves between scenes using transitions: editing creates the narrative of the film. It can also be used to emphasize character development, establish motifs/ parallels, and create visual interest. Shot transitions: cut: one image directly replaces another. Used within scenes, or to move to another directly related scene: fade out and fade in: screen briefly fades to black between shots. Used to convey the passage of the time or shift to a new location: dissolve: one image slowly appears and overlaps the other, wipe: one image pushes the other off the screen like a slideshow.
