3. Analysing the Edit: What is the narrative function of the sequence? What emotional response is it trying to achieve? Who are we made/what are we made to identify with How does it do this? What role has the edit played in this? Could it have been done differently?

4.  Psycho (1960) shower scene http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VP5jEAP 3K4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VP5jEAP 3K4 Remember some of the techniques we’ve talked about over the last few weeks How are some of these techniques used here?

5. Useful Visual Grammar– Narrative Techniques  Shot-reverse-shot.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-bsf2x- aeE When Harry Met Sally http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-bsf2x- aeE  Staple shot for many scenes!  Setting up a scene for s/rs  Match-Cut.  Compositional elements/objects match  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leOzWX bQE9A 2001 Space Odyssey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leOzWX bQE9A  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ypul7nPcMI I Lawrence of Arabia (at 1m00) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ypul7nPcMI I

6. Useful Visual Grammar– Narrative Techniques  Eyeline-match  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmDTSQ tK20c Flight of the Conchords http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmDTSQ tK20c  Match on Action  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1eFdU SnaQM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1eFdU SnaQM  Reaction Shot  Show emotion/identify with an ‘other’  Esp in Comedy  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr7djGY1fhA at 1m14 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr7djGY1fhA

7. Useful Visual Grammar– Narrative Techniques Cutaways- shots that are relevant to the scene, but not necessarily to the narrative function of the scene (ie showing reactions, or messages in the dialogue)  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12264194 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12264194  Common in news production. Often very literal.  Can be a good ‘safety’/’concealing’ alternative (for continuity)- always consider getting plenty of cutaways to give you options but be careful as they…  Can be very cheap!!!  Also known as ‘filler’, ‘B-roll’

8. Useful Visual Grammar– Narrative Techniques Cross Cutting (Parallel Action)- cutting between scenes to induce a certain response (tension)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLcTKCRf ryg (The Office) (4m30) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLcTKCRf ryg  Are there any other ways you could do this?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQidFlpYl Dw Timecode (2000) by Mike Figgis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQidFlpYl Dw

9. Useful Visual Grammar– Narrative Techniques  Montage (in modern sense) (seemingly unrelated shots that when combined produce meaning or a series of shots that lead the viewer to a desired meaning) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU9Uwhjlo g8 Team America Parody http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU9Uwhjlo g8  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PUFJms CZLE Donnie Darko End http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PUFJms CZLE  Thought Provoking- often done to a song  Signals Passages of time, of achievement,  Tying up multiple narrative elements

10. Useful Visual Grammar– Narrative Techniques  Jump-cut (a cut that breaks the continuity of time, or the traditional spacial continuity of the edit)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diNUplP7G Z8 Breathless (1960) Jean-Luc Godard http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diNUplP7G Z8 A rule that is frequently broken!

11. Useful Visual Grammar– Narrative Techniques  Sequence shot- where a whole sequence occupies a single shot  A flashy example:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2YelaGi5k M Kill Bill Vol 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2YelaGi5k M  Camera doesn’t have to move though!  Orson Welles also uses this a lot (See Citizen Kane)

12. Useful Visual Grammar– Narrative Techniques  Fades, Dissolves and Transitions:  Fades generally denote a change in time and/or space in film  Other transitions include effect based:  Wipes  Interstitials (ie Football)  Play around/Experiment in FCP  Use them carefully.  Avoid cheap wipes and effects! Unless you know what you are doing!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnixMJvOtp I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnixMJvOtp I

13. Useful Visual Grammar– Narrative Techniques  Relational Editing- editing shots together to suggest a relation between their ideas  Sans Soleil (Chris Marker)  We (www.weroy.org) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chVD8NprL 3E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chVD8NprL 3E  More Essayistic!

15. Colour Grading http://exposureroom.com/members/hdcolorist/ e0a252ae61bb44dea381a8a6222cb86e/ http://vimeo.com/7214459 Another tool in the editors palette Links to get you started Colour grading in FCP http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=06 E1E8C167A18AC0

16. Titling and Graphics  Simple is always best (white on black)  Don’t use crappy fonts!  Bad titles are a brilliant way to make your video look amateurish.  Simple moves (panning and scanning/fading) can be very effective  Could you do it in camera/live  Find fonts in Dafont: http://www.dafont.com/http://www.dafont.com/  More advanced graphic techniques require compositing software (Boujou, After Effects, Combustion)  http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr- blog/2009/july1/film-titles-list - check it out! http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr- blog/2009/july1/film-titles-list

17. Cheating the edit Tips If in doubt copyhttp://vimeo.com/19447662 (at 3m 40) - Everyone does it!http://vimeo.com/19447662 In reality- things don’t always go to plan in production-  Not all edits are deliberate, some are there to patch up mistakes (continuity, script, no handles) Faking multiple angles (pan and scan) http://vimeo.com/18014288 http://vimeo.com/18014288 Changing time/Time- Remappinghttp://vimeo.com/7152403http://vimeo.com/7152403 Get lots of non sequential cutaways

20. The process of the edit Where are you at? 1. Logging Rushes and Deciding on Shots - EDL 2. Capturing and Digitizing 3. The Assembly edit (based on storyboard/script) 4. The rough cut (reconsideration of the narrative approach/experimentation in editing technique) 5. The final cut 6. Mastering
