Document Summary
Last day on primitive cinema--u. s. and france (1893-1910)/ Last day on the origins of cinema: 1830-1910. Structure and content: will begin at 5:30pm and will last for approx. Will consist of 2-3 questions requiring a short essay-style answer. Will cover the material on all of handout 1 and part 1 of handout 2. Ppt presentations summarizing the material on handouts 1 and 2 are being posted to carmen along with a document titled first exam guidelines and tips. A watershed moment in film history, the breakthrough: continuity editing. Action is continuous from one shot to the next. Breaks the one scene = one shot formula. Cutting back to the dispatcher at the station: When a director cuts back and forth between shots of events occurring at the same time but in different locations. We have parallel events, multiple storylines/plotlines. (phrasing, it was cross-cut from the previous scene. )
