The targets for the final draft are to clearly indicate the sub-genre, improve mise-en-scene, properly place titles, use a range of shots and angles, make a well-produced title sequence, and employ editing techniques to create effects.
What Is Montage Editing
Due to our ideas for our storyboarding/ filming we decided we find out more about montage editing and how to create that effect.
Editing: Continuity and Discontinuity
There are two main approaches to film editing: continuity editing and discontinuity editing. Continuity editing emphasizes smooth, coherent transitions between shots to tell a narrative in an invisible way, while discontinuity editing emphasizes differences between shots and calls attention to itself by creating new meaning through juxtaposition of individual shots. Both aim to manipulate time and space but in different ways - continuity seeks temporal and spatial continuity and illusion, while discontinuity violates expectations of continuity.
Final cut pro tools
This document discusses tools used in Final Cut Pro X to edit video clips for a trailer. The blade tool was used extensively to split long clips into shorter segments. Another frequently used tool was the trim tool, which easily trimmed footage from the beginning or end of clips. A cross dissolve transition was the main transition used, though it sometimes shortened clips too much at the ends.
Continuity editing
The document defines and provides examples of various techniques of continuity editing used to maintain a coherent and seamless narrative flow between shots. These include establishing shots, shot/reverse shot, the 180-degree rule, the 30-degree rule, crosscutting, matching on action, eyeline matching, and re-establishing shots. Continuity editing helps structure the narrative, allow shots to flow seamlessly together, and makes the film easy for viewers to follow.
Different Types of Editing
Editing involves changing video clips to make them more appealing to audiences. Continuity ensures cuts are not noticeable by linking shots together in a sequence. There are two types of montage: political uses shots to convey meaning, while Hollywood presents information or stories concisely using recaps. Transitions move between shots through various techniques like straight cuts, fades, or wipes that eliminate one shot and replace it. Dissolves smoothly blend one scene into another. Action editing structures clips to make films more exciting.
Final Cut Pro Tools
The document discusses various tools used in Final Cut Pro to edit videos for a trailer project. The blade tool was used to split clips into sections and delete unnecessary parts. The trim tool trimmed beginnings or ends of clips that were too long. The range selection tool selected specific ranges within clips but was less used than the blade tool. A cross dissolve transition was the only type used and was sometimes added before a black screen to create a fade effect, though it shortened clips too much.
Editing techniques
This document defines and describes various film editing techniques:
1) A match cut is an edit between two shots where an object or space matches graphically to establish continuity of action.
2) Flash cutting involves very brief shot durations of less than two seconds to speed up the pacing.
3) A subliminal cut consists of only a few frames shown too quickly for conscious awareness, only subliminally perceived.
4) Cross cutting alternates between shots of simultaneous actions in different locations.
Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro was a relatively intuitive video editing software with simple controls for basic editing. However, it had some issues including being unable to import footage from external or network drives, lacking precise control when zoomed in, not showing manual save options or indications that the project had saved, and having limited export file types and options. While the software was useful, these issues were irritating to the user and they questioned why Final Cut Pro was considered the best editing software.
Slides For Nlp(Anchoring)
Anchoring is a technique where a sensory stimulus becomes linked to a specific emotional state, allowing that state to be accessed or elicited by exposure to the stimulus. Common anchors include words, touches, objects, smells, songs, and tastes. The steps to anchoring are: 1) select an uncommon gesture, 2) visualize a positive emotional experience, 3) enhance the visualization, 4) link the gesture to the emotional peak, 5) repeat the linking, and 6) test the anchor by doing the gesture and seeing if the emotion returns. Anchors are useful for harnessing emotions when needed and work best with precise repetition and positive expectation.

Editing transitions
This document discusses various editing techniques used in filmmaking, including cuts, dissolves, jump cuts, match cuts, parallel editing, match on action, montages, and wipes. It provides definitions and examples of each technique. It also discusses how to analyze editing techniques for an editing analysis essay, including defining techniques, explaining examples, and assessing why editors use certain techniques and their effects on the audience.
Editing
Editing sequences shots to make sense for the audience. The most common technique is called continuity editing, which makes sense of space, actions, reactions, time passage, event rhythm, and draws attention to specific elements. Continuity editing follows rules like the 180 degree rule and 300 rule regarding shot placement. Editing can be analyzed based on speed and style, with styles including straight cuts, fades, dissolves, wipes, and jump cuts. Montage editing allows audiences to derive meaning from sequenced images and depict the passage of time.
Sound in Film
This document discusses different types of sound that can be used in films, including diegetic sound that comes from within the film's world and non-diegetic sound added in post-production. It explains that diegetic sound helps set the environment and pace of a scene, while scripted dialogue moves the story and develops characters. Non-diegetic music and voiceovers are also used to interpret emotions, enhance understanding of characters, and influence the audience's perspective. The document outlines various techniques for manipulating elements of non-diegetic music like volume, tempo, and arrangement to parallel or contrast visuals and guide the audience's experience.

Final cut pro tools
- 1. Final Cut Pro Tools
- 2. Lighting • Luma Keyer- it helped to create a dusky and darker look to the shot, because all our shots were too light, due to the camera not picking up figures in the dark. Therefore, the shots were not conventional to our genre until we used this effect
- 3. Create Fast paced shots • Used the blade tool, to half different shots, and put other shots in between, or just to make the shots shorter, creating a faster pace. For example, we did this in the fight scene, where we made the shots really short, to create tension Fight Scene
- 4. Transitions • Used the Fade to Colour transition, as the conventional use of transitions is to create a blinking effect. Where the shot fades into black and then the next shot emerges, so it creates a revealing effect on the audience and tension
- 5. Flash Effect • To create the supernatural element of our trailer, we used the flash effect, which creates a white flashes. This effect contrasts the normal shot, such as the villain walking to a house, therefore, this signifies to the audience that we have a fantasy element to our trailer
