Study Session
Parallel editing - This is alternating between two or more scenes that happen simultaneously but in different locations.
We showed a parallel editing of me going up the lift and then it changing to Marcelo in the study room revising his book.
Short-reverse-shot - is a technique which shows a conversation between two characters. This will show a character looking at another character and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character.
When me and my partner Marcelo were talking, we had our camerawoman Anastasia first show the camera on me talking to Marcelo than when he spoke it switched to me. Anastasia also used an over the shoulder when we were talking.
180 degree - This rule states that the cameras should remain the same side of an imaginary line. It is perpendicular to the cameras viewpoint in the establishing scene. It enforces continuity within a film.
After I sat down on the sofa and began talking to Marcelo, Anastasia began to move around me and Marcelo on our sides to show the 180 degree rule.
Graphic shot - Graphic matches are useful in relating two otherwise disconnected scenes, or in helping to establish a relationship between two scenes. By ending one shot with a frame containing the same elements (shape, colour, size, etc.) as the beginning frame of the next shot, a connection is drawn between the two shots with a smooth transition.
Because the beginning started of with a lift we thought a good graphic match would be a zipper. As the doors of the lift open we see Marcelo unzipping his coat.
Match on action - this is an editing technique which is continuity editing in which one shot cut to another shot showing the action of a subject in the first shot.
After I leave the lift I made my way to a door where it started from filming behind me to in front of me to show me entering the room.
