Document Summary
Dissolve: briefly superimposes the end of shot a and the beginning of shot b. Wipe: shot a exits the frame by moving right while shot b enters the frame from the left, following a line of movement across the screen. Cut: instantaneous switch from one shot to another. Graphic editing, rhythmic editing, spatial editing, temporal editing. Graphic editing: linking shots by close graphic similarities including: shapes, colors, overall composition or movement. (the armpit hair and sea urchin) Similarly one can use graphic contrast: ex: static shots switch to shots of heavy movement back and forth such as the shots of the fire and the women watching the fire in the birds. Rhythmic editing: adjusting the lengths of any shot in relation to the shots around it. A pattern of short shots will accelerate the rhythm while long shots will slow the rhythm. Flash frames have a really short duration to stress a single moment.
