Revision: Editing

Now its time to revise some editing techniques.

Cutting: the work of selecting and joining together shots to create a finished film.

Shot/Reverse shot: is a staple of editing in dialogue sequences. Conventionally, it utilizes the 180 degree rule, the eye line match, and rule of change among others.

Crosscutting: cutting back and forth quickly between two or more lines of action, indecating they are happening simultaneously.

Fade in/Fade out: a filmmaking and broadcasting technique whereby an image is made to dissapear gradually.

Superimposition: when you put especially a picture, words, etc, on top of something else, especially another picture, words, etc... so that what is in the lower position can still be seen, heard, etc...

Slow motion: when film or television pictures are shown in slow motion, they are shown much more slowly than normal.

Over-The-Shoulder-shot: used when shooting conversation between two people, speaker´s full face is shown while camera is aimed over the shoulder of the listener.

Cutaway: is the interruption of a continuosuly filmed action by inserting a view of something else. It is usually, although not always, followed by a cut back to the first shot, when the cutaway avoids a jump cut.

Eyeline match: a cut obeying the axis of action principle, in which the fist shot shows a person off in one direction and the second shows a nearby space containing what he or she sees. If the person looks left, the following shot should imply that the looker is offscreen right.

Welcome back

Hi guys !,

Today is my first day at Media Studies A-level.
Last year, I did my AS Media Studies and I love it so much that I finally decided to continue with the subject and start my second year of Media Studies. Our main task for this  year is to create two trailers of 2 minutes approximatelly, a poster, a film promotion package for a new film, and a website for the film.

Film genres:

Drama: are serious presentations or stories with settings or life situations that  portrait realistic characters in conflict with either themselves, others, or forces of nature. A dramatic film shows us human beings at their best, their worst, and everything in between.

Science Fiction: are usually scientific, comic-strip, and imaginative, and usually visualized through fanciful, imaginative settings, expert film production design, advanced technology gadgets (example, robots and spaceships), scientific developments, or by fantastic special effects. Sci-fi films are complete with heroes, distant planets, impossible quests, improbable settings, fantastic places, great dark villains, futuristic technology and unknown and inexplicable forces.

Horror: calculated to cause intense repugnance, fear, or dread. Horror films may incorporate incidents of physical violence and psychological terror; they may be studies of dformed, disturbed, psychotic, or evil character; stories of terrifying monsters or malevolent animals; or mystery thriller that use atmoshere to build suspense.

Comedy: are those who makes the audience laugh, with silly jokes and silly characters. Audience feels comfortable in a good atmoshere.

Action: this major genres type includes films that have tremendous impact, continuous high energy, lots of physical stunts and activity, possibly extend chase scenes (races, rescues, battles, martial arts, mountains and mountaineering, destructive disasater (floods, explonsions, natural disasters, fires, etc), fights, escapes, non-stop motion, spectacular rhythm and pacing, and adventurous heroes - all designed for pure audience escapism with the action sequences at the core of the film.

Adventure: are exciting stories, with new experiences or exotic locals. The purpose of the conquest can be to retrieve a person or treasure, but often the main focus is simply the pursuit of the unknown.

Animation: are ones in which indivuals drawings, paintings, or illustrations are photographed frame by frame (stop-frame cinematography). Usually, each frame differs slightl from the one preceding it, giving the illusion of movement when frames are projected in rapid succession at 24 frames per second.

Romance: films are love stories, or affairs of the heart that centre on passion, emotion, and the romantic, affectionate involvement of the main character (usually a leading man and lady), and the journey theat their love takes through coutship or marriage.

Musical: Musical/dance films are cinematic forms that emphasize and showcase full-scale song and dance routines in a significant way (usually with a musical or dance performance as part of the film narrative, or as an unrealistic ´´eruption´within the film). Or they are films that are centred on combinations of music, dance, song or choreography.
