In a scene from Love Island, there is a long conversation between one couple talking about another couple. The editing cuts back and forth rapidly between the two couples every 2 seconds to show their facial expressions as they talk about and listen to each other. The editing time for this scene is around 15 seconds and maintains the same cut rate between the two couples to build tension as neither group knows they are being listened to.
2. Continuity editing
β’ Continuity editing is the process, in film and video creation, of
combining more-or-less related shots, or different components cut
from a single shot, into a sequence so as to direct the viewer's
attention to a pre-existing consistency of story across both time and
physical location.
β’ In love island in one part of the show there is a very long scene of a
couple talking about another couple for 20 seconds then cuts quickly
back and forth the cute rate is 2 seconds on the two couples to see
the facial expressions on the other couple and what they are doing
whilst the other couple talk about them.
3. Editing time
β’ The editing time is about 15 seconds because it is quite a long scene
of the two couples talking to each other about one another. We also
see the other couples facial expressions when they over here the
other couple talking about them it quickly goes back to the other
couple who are having a dig at the other couple but they donβt know
that anyone is listening so their facial expressions are normal every
time the couple says something a shot goes on to the other couple
listening to see their facial expression.
4. Editing space
β’ For this particular editing space you have a couple talking and the
next shot is of the other couple listening. So in this shot again you
have the couple talking and in the next shot it is another couple
listening to them. The cut rate is still the same for this shot.
5. Editing rhythm
β’ Rhythmic Editing: Definition: Rythmic editing is when the relations
between shots function to control film pace. Characteristics: a shot's
physical length corresponds to a measurable duration. rythmic
function occurs when several shot lengths form a discernable
pattern. equal length will create a steady metrical beat.
β’ In this shot there is no music on diagetical sounds being heard
because it is a tv reality show so they have to keep it as real as
possible also this shows the viewers that the conversation is going to
be over heard by the other couple.
