HST 205 Lecture Notes - Lecture 39: Decoupage, Film Editing, Social Relation
Document Summary
The film editor makes this cut at the editing stage of a film. Between sequences the cut marks a rapid transition between one time and space and another, but depending on the nature of the cut it will have different meanings. Decoupage the practical breakdown of the film"s construction into separate shots/sequences prior to filming. A use of the camera lens and lighting that keeps both the close and distant planes in sharp focus. The way the filmmaker has established the action of the scene as taking place on several different distance planes, regardless of whether or not all of these planes are in focus. "deep space is a property of mise-en-scene, affecting how the image is staged; depth of field is a property of the photographic lens, affecting what planes of the image are in focus" (bordwell/thompson, p. 106). Sound coming from a source inside the story space of a film.
