In our media continuity task clip an important feature of it was to enforce the 180 degree rule.

This schematic shows the axis between two characters and the 180° arc on which cameras may be positioned (green). When cutting from the green arc to the red arc, the characters switch places on the screen.

Types of sound

SOUND BRIDGES
Sound bridges can lead in or out of a scene. They can occur at the beginning of one scene when the sound from the previous scene carries over briefly before the sound from the new scene begins. Alternatively, they can occur at the end of a scene, when the sound from the next scene is heard before the image appears on the screen. Sound bridges are one of the most common transitions in the continuity editing style, one that stresses the connection between both scenes since their mood (suggested by the music) is still the same.

DIEGETIC SOUND
Any voice, musical passage, or sound effect presented as originating froma source within the film's world is diegetic

NON-DIEGETIC SOUND
If it originates outside the film (as most background music) then it is non-diegetic.

SOUND PERSPECTIVE
The sense of a sound's position in space, yielded by volume, timbre, pitch.

SYNCHRONOUS SOUND
Sound that is matched with the movements occuring in the images

ASYNCHRONOUS SOUND
Sound that isn’t matched with movements occurring in the images

SOUND EFFECTS
Sounds that are added to moving images during post-production stage in order to increase the impact and potential meaning of moments within a scene.

VOICEOVER When a voice, often that of a character in the moving images, is heard while we see an image of a space and time in which that character is not actually speaking. The voice over is often used to give a sense of a character's subjectivity or to narrate an event told in flashback

SOUND MOTIF
A recurring sound throughout moving images that is used to represent and idea, character or event.

DIRECT ADDRESS
A character directly addresses the audience, ‘breaking the fourth wall’

MODE OF ADDRESS
The way that characters talk, including accent and dialect

We have now started to include some audio in to our clip, even though it is not essential we would like to include it maybe to gain a few extra marks if we are fortunate.

A sound film is a motion picture with synchronized sound, or sound technologically coupled to image, as opposed to a silent film

I belive that our group is currently considering to make our own sound track off garage band to include, although we have included a loop track for the beggining of our clip.

 

Editing is the process of selecting and preparing written, visul, audible and film media used to convey information. The editing process can involve correction, condensation, organization, and other modifications performed with an intention of producing a correct, consistent, accurate and complete work - Wiki answer - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editing

 

Types of editing 

 

• STRAIGHT CUT – designed to be ‘invisible’ so that shots join together without being noticeable – creates REALISM

• FADE IN/FADE OUT – screens fades to black/white into or out of a shot

• DISSOLVE – where one image is slowly brought in beneath another one

• WIPE CUT – where one part of the screen moves to wipe across the other

• JUMP CUT – where the audience’s attention is brought into focus on something very suddenly

 

• CONTINUITY EDITING – editing designed to be ‘invisible’ to create realism

• MONTAGE EDITING - is when narrative information is presented in a condensed fashion in a short segment

 

• CROSS-CUTTING – used to establish continuity - the camera will cut away from one action to another action. Because the shots occur one after another, cross-cutting is used to suggest simultaneity of action (ie the actions are happening at the same time)

 

• MATCH ON ACTION - a cut that connects two (or more) different views of the same action at the same moment in the movement - by carefully matching the movement across the two (or more) shots, filmmakers make it seem that the motion continues uninterrupted.

Problems

We did run into a few problems, in one being that part of the camera stand was visable, it was essential that we get rid of the stand but to do this we had to crop the video. This was succesful.
Although if we had left this in we might of been liable for losing marks because its unprofessional, so you have to look in the background of your clips making sure there are no faults and unwanted subject/objects in the framing.

Another problem was that a clip we were keen to use had our sixthform bell in the audio, we had to get rid of this somehow because it was ruining our clip. To sort this problem out we had to trim that part hoping it wouldnt cut out some of our speech.

We found editing very hard even though we are still in the process of it, we know that there is alot to be done and details in the clip that play a major role towards the video. We ALL have had a go at editing our groups video just for the experience and to make sure everyone is taking part.

Currently with my continuity editing group we have accomplished the shooting for the movie, including sucessful camera angles. Presently we are now importing all the video clips for our processing. We are choosing and identifying the best clips that will work well together using different angles of the three camreras we used. When we imported all the clips we went through them to see how they were. However some of the clips had a dilemma so we were unable to use them. The clips that were good we inserted into our video clip timeline bar for triming and cropping of the clips.
