Film Studies 1020E Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Jump Cut, Diegesis, Jean-Luc Godard
Document Summary
Can use a long take (described in l3-cinematography) instead of editing. Must consider that cutting from one shot to another can guide and shape the tempo of a shot. It can surprise us since we don"t know whats next (ex/ stuff popping out/ meant to scare you) considerations - when should we switch to the next shot. Why cut at this particular moment (all gets back to the idea of narrative- move the story forward) What motivates this cut to the next one. What shots should we use in the nal cut/ movie (ex/ social network has 1:102. 4 minute ration of whats not shown) Pictorial contrast- light cut followed by a dark one rhythmic relationship. Using rhythm, tempo and space spatial relationship. Editing creates space, it may or may not exist in the world. Can take shots that make you look like you"re around the world.
