Colour correction
Colour plays an important role in film by conveying different moods and emotions through its use. The colour grading process during post-production allows precise control over the colours in a film by manipulating the lightness, darkness and hue of the footage. Effective colour grading adds meaning and triggers emotional responses in audiences by dominating scenes with certain colour palettes like using reds to create warmth or blues to imply coldness.
Chase
Chase sequences involve fast-paced editing between shots of a protagonist and antagonist. Editing a chase sequence from mobile phone footage was challenging due to the unsteady handheld shots. Cutting between clips was jarring due to different movement within each shot. Getting stationary shots would have helped. There was also a lack of coverage from different angles and close-ups, leaving out key details and making the editing less interesting. Planning shots like famous chase sequences would improve coverage and variety for a more engaging edit.

There was also a lack of coverage from different angles and close-ups, leaving out key details and making the editing less interesting. Planning shots like famous chase sequences would improve coverage and variety for a more engaging edit.
Point break
The chase sequence in Point Break uses fast cuts and handheld footage to build tension as two men struggle to catch up to or get away from each other. Cross-cuts show both perspectives, creating more depth and tension as the audience does not know their proximity. Comedy is also generated when one man throws a dog to distract the other. The scene ends with slow motion shots and dramatic music to reinforce the tension and signal the climax.
The little things
The document summarizes the editing process for a short film based on a script. Scenes of dialogue with a psychiatrist bookended a montage revealing the central character's inner thoughts through 0.3 second clips of his face. Shots were chosen that moved similarly to create seamless cuts. Effects were used to give the film a noir feel and tense atmosphere. Ambient sound from rushes extended across the footage to ensure continuous sound, while tapping was overlaid to build tension. Audio levels were adjusted to be consistent in volume. Rearranging some shots could have clarified the narrative by simplifying transitions between awake and asleep states.
Sound
Sound is a key part of film that brings audiences into the story and creates emotion. In Gravity, sounds were added to footage taken in space where sound cannot travel. This was done to engage audiences more fully. Sounds aid the story and surround viewers in the film's world. Without sound, audiences feel disconnected. Foley artists create unique background sounds through objects to add atmosphere and realism that enhances each scene, even if these sounds play a minor narrative role.
Journey edit
This document discusses editing techniques for a journey sequence showing someone taking a picnic to the forest. First, it notes that cuts between footage filmed through a moving car window need to be made where there is little background motion to avoid a jarring effect. Second, although jump cuts were needed due to different locations, they reinforced the story of the journey rather than obscuring it. Finally, matching shots based on movement within the frame helped ease cuts between handheld and stationary footage, making the edits more successful.
20 shots
Deadpool is an action/comedy film based on a Marvel comic book. The fast-paced editing with quick cuts throughout builds tension during fight scenes and chases, keeping the audience engaged. The pacing of the edits also matches the snappy jokes and satirical humor in the film, giving insights into what will happen next. Overall, the editing takes a stereotypical style for action and superhero films, using pace to enhance both the comedy and action elements of the hybrid genre film.
20 shots
The document discusses the goals and techniques used in editing a short 20-shot film. It aimed for simple storytelling using well-composed shots and hard cuts. During editing, extra shots were cut, even beautiful ones, to maintain a continuous visual and audio flow that avoided jarring transitions and kept the audience's attention. The audio was edited last by adjusting levels to -14 dB for consistent volume without loud or quiet sounds. Overlaying ambient room noise would have further improved the sound quality.
After Effects for blog
The document describes how to take a layered Photoshop file and animate it in 3D using After Effects. It explains that each layer needs to be individually placed in After Effects and set to 3D to allow independent movement. Once all layers are in place, the camera tool is used to apply axes and allow layers to be moved at different angles, creating space between them and producing a 3D effect when rotated.
Photoshop for blog
To create the illusion of a single image, Photoshop was used to manipulate multiple images. Unwanted items were removed from the background image using selection tools. Then, the astronaut foreground image was selected using the Polygonal Lasso Tool to cut out the unwanted background. This astronaut image was placed on the Mars background. Additional editing was done to resolve issues like the blue Earth still visible in the astronaut's helmet visor by cutting around the transparent part and placing it on a new layer with its blending mode set to screen. Simple enlargements of the foreground image then allowed it to fit proportions of the background layer.
Psycho for blog
The iconic shower scene from Psycho uses pace and editing techniques to build tension and sympathy for the character. It begins and ends slowly with about 30 seconds of fast-paced stabbing in the middle. Fewer cuts are used to focus on Marion and build suspense as she is attacked. The high-pitched score during the fast cuts and slowing music afterward reinforce the stabbing and Marion's slow death, eliciting an emotional response from the audience.
Aco blog
The document discusses the use of contrapuntal sound editing in A Clockwork Orange and Reservoir Dogs. It explains that both films use upbeat songs during scenes of violence to contrast the serious visuals and reveal the volatile nature of characters. Specifically, A Clockwork Orange has the protagonist sing during a violent home invasion and Reservoir Dogs uses a song during an ear cutting torture scene. The technique provides information about characters' emotions while also making the extreme violence easier for audiences to watch.
Types of cut
The document discusses several types of cuts used in film and television editing to convey meaning and tell stories. A hard cut simply transitions between two clips without effects. A cross cut jumps between two simultaneous stories in different locations. A cut away focuses on a specific aspect of a scene to build tension. A jump cut skips forward in time. Match cuts connect objects or scenes seamlessly. Match on action establishes relationships by showing a character looking at something before cutting to it. Shot reverse shot reveals reactions between characters in a conversation.
The kuleshov effect for blog
The Kuleshov Effect is a montage technique created by Soviet filmmaker Lev Kuleshov in the early 1900s that demonstrates how the brain connects two sequential shots, making it more effective than a single isolated shot. An example is a close-up of a man's expressionless face cut between shots of a bowl of soup, a girl in a coffin, and a beautiful woman, which appears to change his emotion from hunger to sadness to lust due to the audience's assumptions about what he is looking at. Kuleshov showed how editing can influence the emotions audiences derive from a sequence.
The eye is quicker
The document discusses editing techniques for making cuts appear invisible. It explains that cutting "on action" during motion within a clip produces a smooth edit, as the motion flows between shots. It also discusses maintaining the focal point, such as a person's eyes, when cutting between shots to guide the viewer's attention. Finally, it explains that editors use "beats" to measure time between cuts, ensuring objects have time to move naturally between shots and keeping the narrative clear for the viewer.
Transporter 3 for blog
The BMX chase sequence in Transporter 3 begins slowly and builds tension through quick edits that reflect the increasing pressure felt by the character. Short cuts between the man on the bike and the woman in the car show their connection and the man's urgency to catch up to her. An interesting editing technique used in the beginning phone call cuts the audio after each person speaks instead of showing reactions, depicting the distance between the two men through the edit.
Gaucho for blog
The editor faced several challenges when editing the film project "Gaucho". Footage required color grading due to lighting issues on set. Audio also needed to be synced with images and leveled to create consistent sound. Coverage between shots from different cameras was sometimes uneven, requiring some shots to be cut down or removed. Continuity issues arose from differing lighting and camera placements, so color grading was used in post-production to resolve inconsistencies. The separately recorded audio was synced to images and leveled to equalize sound recorded from varying distances.
Gerry for blog
The document discusses a scene from the film "Gerry" where two men are shown walking away from the camera in a single uncut shot. This long take uses an extreme long shot to depict the vast emptiness around the men as they walk. By not cutting away, the audience sees how long the walk is for the characters and the changing light of the sunrise, reinforcing the tedious and isolated experience of their walk through the desert.
Sta travel
The document describes a video advertisement for STA Travel Australia that uses a montage of short clips showing the same man in different locations cut together quickly. The fast-paced editing of the changing locations and clothing creates a flowing piece of footage. Each clip is cut to motion, keeping the man continually moving to prevent the footage from becoming jarring and making the film visually interesting despite the changing surroundings.
Fight club
The document discusses the 1999 film Fight Club and some of its interesting editing techniques. It describes how single frames of Tyler Durden were inserted into shots behind Jack to reveal Tyler's entrance into his life. It also discusses how when the character Marla Singer is introduced, the editing pace is slowed to highlight her importance and allow her to be fetishized as the only female in the male-dominated film.
