The Importance Of Editing

Editing is without doubt, the most important factor for making a film. It evolves everything, from special effects, to camera shots and angles.

Camera angles are exstreamly important,  when it comes to editing a film, as the angle of a camera or the distance between camera and actor, can dictate what is occurring in a scene. Scenes will usually start with an establishing shot. This is when the characters in the scene are shown in whole, this gives the viewer the feeling that they are right there in the scene. The pattern continues onto the Over the shoulder shots and close ups, which are often used when filing a conversation. The over the shoulder shot allows us to see characters reactions, and emotions, this is then improved, with the use of the close-ups, which takes us into the characters face. This allows us to see emotion and deeper feelings within a facial expression.

Flashbacks are also a key feature of editing. Flashbacks can be used anywhere in films, weather its the beginning, middle or end, flashbacks are used to allow viewers to see previous events from back in time, or even sometimes a peak into the future.

The 180 Degree rule, is something that must be taken into consideration when shooting a scene. This is when a camera is on one side of the scene, showing us the view from the from or the side, ensuring that we are able to see the faces of the characters. An invisible line is then created, to show how far the camera can go, before it changes sides. I the camera need to change sides, the only way this can be done, is if you show the camera moving, this way its clear to the viewer.

Questionaire Graph Results

Here are some of the results gained from our questionaire.................

The Narrative

Dont get confused when asked about the narrative. Alot of people think of the narrative as someone telling the story. They would be wrong. The Narrative is the plot of a story, and it consists of 3 theorys.

1. Binary Theory :
This is when an Narative establishes something that is not, its also helps establish, who is who ,when it comes to Hero's and Villains.

2A. Equalibrium :
This is the beginning. Before the Narrative and the twists unfold. A good example would be the film Spiderman. In the beginning when Peter Parker is just an ordinary guy.

2B. Disequalibrium :
This is the moment when the plot of the film takes shape. This is when the main twist in the story begins. Spiderman again as an example, the moment when Peter gets bitten by the radioactive spider is the moment he becomes Spiderman and gains his powers.

2C. New States of Equalibrium :
This is when the twist of the problem gets solved or comes to an end. Spiderman again as an example, When spiderman finnaly defeats the Green Goblin and saves Mary Jane.
