EDITING

psycho

North by NorthWest murder scene

Helps construct a narrative we are so used to editing we barely even notice it is called 'invisible' editing.

Editing can be used to condense long boring activities into quick burst of useful information.

Edits or transitions come in many forms the simplest and most commonly used of these are cut.

In the assassination scene in 'north by northwest' by the time Roger Thornhill getting out a taxi and looking out the united nations windows there was 27 scene cuts.

The pace of editing is fast in the shower scene in psycho and after she is dying the pace is slowing down to add tension to the scene.

Apart from the cuts there are some more visually interesting transitions.

Dissolve: One scene dissolves into another overlapping for a moment.

Fade out/in: one scene fades to black then another scene fades in.

Wipes: one scene wipes across the screen revealing or replacing the next one this can happen in any direction.

Iris: the next scene replaces the last by appearing from the centre like the iris of an eye.

Jump cuts: two scenes that feature a common element right after one another so something stays the same but the rest changes this is used for disorientating or comedy effect.

                            MISE-EN-SCENE


Mise-En-Scene is everything in the scene.

this is the sharks POV

E.G Lighting , Costume , Setting and Composition. This is used on the JAWS opening scene where the camera is at the sharks point of view and it is in the ocean looking through the coral reefs and it makes the effect of someone is going to die. Then later in the movie when the little boy is attacked that is on the lilo the camera is far away from the main character then when he realises the camera zooms in to show the recognition in his face .This is called the trombone effect.

this is the trombone effect

camera angles are really important in horror genre movies they add to the effect to make them look bigger or smaller

THE EXORCIST REVIEW

the exorcist III has good camera angles like a full face shot and a shot from the side following her to the end of the attic makes it much better and the dark atmosphere adds to the tension that is building in the scene and then they have shots of the props like the mouse traps the music also adds to the scariness because there is none there is just the sounds that she could hear like the wind and the rattling and then there was a jumpscare of a old man at the entrance that when she spotted him he candle flaired up. she is isolated because she is a venerable woman in her pyjamas and it makes you feel as if the devil is going to posses her but then the man pops up and gives her a fright. The camera angle makes it look like she is being followed behind cardboard boxes and she sees the mouse trap still working and hasn't been touched so you can rule out any chances of t being rats knocking stuff over off shelves.


what a scary movie
