Shot-reverse-shot is an editing technique that alternates between close-ups of two characters facing each other during a conversation to focus on their emotions. Match on action ensures continuity by cutting from one shot to another that matches the same action, like walking up to a door. Elliptical editing allows events to be shortened on screen compared to their duration in the story, often used in walking scenes. The 180 degree rule maintains the left/right relationship between characters to avoid confusion when the camera passes over the axis between them. Parallel editing alternates between two simultaneous scenes in different locations to unfold parallel storylines or create suspense.

This document discusses various editing techniques used in filmmaking. It describes continuity editing, shot/reverse shot editing, eye line matching, cross cutting, the 180 degree rule, and discontinuity editing. It also discusses transitions between scenes, noting that the usual conventions are to use fades to black at the end of scenes and fades from black at the beginning of scenes. Dissolves and wipes are typically used to indicate the passing of time between scenes.
Editing
Cuts, transitions, and camera movements are editing techniques that provide narrative structure in film, similar to punctuation in writing. Different types of cuts include jump cuts, which provide abrupt transitions typically to cover mistakes, and cross-cutting, which cuts back and forth between events happening simultaneously. Other techniques include reverse cutting in conversations, cutaways to show character reactions, establishing shots to set a scene's context, expanding time to build suspense, and transitions like fades and dissolves to signify changes in time or location.
Camera angles presentation.pptx
This document provides definitions and descriptions of various camera angles and shots used in cinematography. It discusses extreme close-ups, close-ups, mid shots, long shots, and extreme long shots which show subjects at different distances.

Micro-Elements
The document discusses various film techniques used in the movie Shutter Island including:
1) Extreme long shots, close ups, and medium shots are used to set the background story, show details of characters, and show body language.
2) Pans, tilts, and zooms are camera movements that scan scenes horizontally, vertically, and zoom in/out of frames.
3) Cuts and pace refer to transitions between shots and the speed of those transitions.
4) Mise-en-scene is the positioning of actors, scenes, and objects to tell a story or create an atmosphere.
unit 2, Task three
This document discusses technical conventions used in horror films, including camera techniques, editing, sound, and mise-en-scene. It provides examples of shots including high and low angles that convey power dynamics. Editing techniques like cuts, transitions, and parallel editing are explained. The use of diegetic and non-diegetic sound as well as music to set mood is covered. Mise-en-scene elements like lighting, locations, costumes, and props that create meaning and suspense are also described.
Shot types
Shot reverse shot is a film editing technique that alternates between two characters in a scene to imply they are looking at each other. It switches between close up shots of each character as if looking at the other. The 180 degree rule establishes an imaginary line between two subjects in a scene, requiring the camera to always be on the same side of this line to maintain spatial relationships. Match on action cuts between shots so the action is continuous, such as cutting to a door opening as a hand touches the doorknob. Eye line match ensures a character's gaze lines up with the person or object they appear to be looking at in the following shot.
Camerwork
The document discusses various camera angles, shots, and movements that can be used to convey different meanings and perspectives in filmmaking. It provides examples of how bird's eye view, high angle, low angle, eye level, and canted angles could be used to depict scenes in a horror story about a girl who dies on the street and her brother's attempt to find out what happened. Medium shots are proposed for dialogue scenes and when people tell the brother about his sister's death. Close-ups and extreme close-ups are suggested to magnify importance. Pans would be used to follow the brother as he trails his sister down the street.

Conventions of a psychological thriller
Psychological thrillers commonly use certain conventions in their mise-en-scene, sound, and camera work/editing to build tension and suspense. Settings are often in cities or confined indoor spaces like houses or offices to limit characters. Costuming typically features the antagonist in dark, smart clothes while the protagonist wears brighter colors. Low lighting, mirrors as props, and non-diegetic high tension music or silence are employed. Quick editing, mid shots and close ups are used to show characters' emotions and relate tension. Flashbacks provide backstory while fast pacing keeps audiences on edge.
Drama
This is a look into the history of the drama genre, looking throughout the decades to show the development of how it has grown and became what is today.
Certificate of film
The BBFC examines films before release to protect children from unsuitable content and inform consumers. The film discussed received a 15 certificate, which means it could contain drugs, imitable dangerous behavior, strong language, threats, violence, and frightening or threatening scenes. The film was given a 15 rating rather than 12 due to strong physical and psychological threat and horror sequences that a younger audience may not understand due to depicting sleep paralysis and psychological aspects.
Props & Costumes
The document summarizes props and costumes used in a psychological thriller film. Key props include a mug, mirror, computer, train, phone, and hospital bed, which are used to establish the main character's daily life and reveal clues about his wife's death. Costumes include an office worker tie for realism, everyday clothes for the character's wife with blood to represent her death, and white doctor's coats to indicate the psychiatric elements.
Questionnaire analysis
We asked 8 people a series of questions after viewing a synopsis for our short film. Most of those surveyed were between 16-30 years old, watched films regularly, and enjoyed thriller and horror genres. They said they would recommend the film and thought it should receive a 15 certificate. They provided feedback that the film could be improved by keeping things mysterious until the end, adding more context to the main character's stress, using a darker tone, and employing low key lighting.
Tricky shots
This document discusses several tricky shots planned for a film and the challenges of filming each one. Shot 7 involves jump cuts which are difficult to edit for continuity. Shots 9 and 13 are point of view shots which must look realistic while keeping a steady camera. Shots 12 and 18 are tracking shots that will have to be done handheld to keep the camera very still. Shots 22 and 25 use panning which can easily move too quickly. Shot 29 is a handheld shot meant to look shaky but not accidental. Shot 30 is a camera arc that aims for a professional look though the filmmakers have never done one before.
Psychological thrillers
This document discusses the genre conventions of psychological thrillers. It notes that psychological thrillers emphasize the mental state and unstable emotions of characters over plot. Common themes in psychological thrillers include death, reality, identity, existence, and purpose. The proposed film will focus on the themes of death and reality, following a man struggling with his wife's death as she appears to follow him. Mise-en-scene and sound design are also important elements to set the mood for a psychological thriller.
Conventions of a psychological horror
Psychological horror films aim to scare and unsettle viewers through implying threats and menaces rather than directly showing graphic violence or gore. They create fear and suspense by playing on viewers' imaginations and fears of the unknown. Common conventions of the genre include dark, mysterious settings that feel realistic; unsettling sounds and music; characters that are not what they seem; low-key lighting that hides things in darkness; and weapons that harm the mind as much as the body. Popular psychological horror films like The Sixth Sense, Silence of the Lambs, and Sinister use these techniques to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
Final questionnaire feedback
The document summarizes feedback from a questionnaire about a student film. Most respondents were students who correctly identified the genre as a psychological thriller. The majority understood the storyline and thought the shots and music were suitable. Responses varied on the appropriate age rating but most said 15. While the title sequence could be improved, most audience members liked it. Most thought the film would be suitable for a short film festival and would recommend it to others. Areas for potential improvement included the storyline, music, and title sequence.
Evaluation Q4
The student used various new media technologies throughout the different stages of creating their 5 minute film project. They set up a blog on Blogger for the group to collaborate and share work. IMDB and Celtx were used for research and scriptwriting. Photoshop was used to create graphics and Free Music websites provided legal music and sound effects. Equipment like a zoom recorder, camera on a tripod, and Premiere Pro for editing were also utilized. Lastly, audience feedback was gathered through a questionnaire video uploaded to YouTube to help evaluate the film.
Hotel room enquiry
A film crew emailed several hotels to inquire about using a hotel room for a bedroom scene in their film, as it would provide a realistic looking couple's bedroom setting with an en-suite bathroom. Cubley Hall in Penistone responded and agreed to let them film in one of its rooms, making it the only hotel that allowed filming on site out of those they contacted.
Similar film research
This document summarizes and compares several films relevant to the filmmakers' project about a man suffering from sleep paralysis and psychological issues. It discusses how The Nightmare documentary about sleep paralysis victims and their hallucinations could inform the depiction of sleep paralysis. It also explains how the psychological horror of The Uninvited and the portrayal of mental instability in The Shining could provide useful examples. Finally, it notes how the short film Paralyzed effectively demonstrates the experience of sleep paralysis.
Conventions of psychological horror films
Psychological horror films focus more on disturbing the mind than showing graphic violence. They expose common human fears and vulnerabilities in a subtly unsettling way. Settings for these films are typically very normal and familiar places like houses, schools, and hospitals so audiences can relate to the characters' situations. Sounds used don't always match the on-screen action, increasing unease. Weapons in these films are usually supernatural or psychological tricks rather than physical objects, manipulating the mind to inflict fear. Characters who inflict horror often appear ordinary with nothing to obviously identify them as the source of evil until it's revealed.
Psychological horror characters – in depth
This document provides character summaries for four characters from psychological horror films:
- Detective David Mills from Se7en is described as tough but affected by the crimes he investigates, leaving the audience to wonder who he is tracking.
- Bagul from Sinister is portrayed as a villainous antagonist who consumes children's souls and can travel between realms, making him seem very evil.
- Samara Morgan from The Ring starts as an innocent girl but has a dark backstory involving drowning and adoption that creates sympathy for her character.
- Cole Sear from The Sixth Sense, a 9-year-old boy who sees dead people, creates relatability and sympathy as a child dealing with paranormal experiences.

Research 180 degree rule, match on action
The document discusses several cinematography techniques including the 180 degree rule, match on action editing, and different shot types. The 180 degree rule states that the camera should stay on one side of an imaginary axis between two subjects in a scene to avoid disorienting the audience. Match on action editing cuts between shots to show continuity of movement. Different shot types like close-ups, long shots, and point-of-view shots are used to set mood and focus attention. Proper use of these techniques helps guide the audience's understanding of scenes.
Research1 80 Degree Rule Final Draft
This document discusses several cinematography techniques including match on action, the 180-degree rule, and various camera shots. It defines match on action as cutting between two shots to show continuity of the same action. The 180-degree rule establishes an imaginary line between two characters that the camera should not cross to avoid disorienting viewers. Finally, it describes different types of shots like close-ups, long shots, and point-of-view shots and explains their purposes in filmmaking.
Media bible
This document defines various shots and camera techniques used in filmmaking and television production. It provides definitions for different types of shots including establishing shots, master shots, close-ups, mid-shots, long shots, wide shots, two shots, aerial shots, point of view shots, over the shoulder shots, canted angle shots, high angle shots, and low angle shots. It also defines different camera movements and techniques such as panning, tilting, tracking, dolly, crane, steadicam, handheld, zooming, and reverse zooming. Finally, it outlines various editing techniques like match cuts, continuity editing, cross cutting, parallel editing, cuts, cutaways, dissolves, ellipses
Continuity editing
Continuity editing refers to techniques used to create a sense of spatial and temporal coherence in films. There are two main categories - temporal continuity, which maintains a logical flow of time, and spatial continuity, which provides a clear physical narrative space. Specific techniques like match cuts, establishing shots, and eye line matches help preserve continuity and prevent disorienting the viewer. Ellipses, fades, and flashbacks can be used to convey temporal discontinuities like the passage of time.
Exam revision
This document discusses different camera techniques used in filmmaking including camera angles (bird's eye view, high angle, eye level, low angle, oblique angle), camera movements (pans, tilts, dolly shots), camera shots (extreme close-up, close-up, medium shot, long shot, two-shot, over the shoulder shot), and editing techniques (cuts, wipes, dissolves, fades).
Editing for film
Editing is used to make motion pictures flow coherently between scenes and enhance visual effects. There are typically three stages of editing: rough cut, director's cut, and final cut. Editing techniques like shot reverse shot and the 180-degree rule help generate meaning and keep narratives coherent by facilitating the audience's understanding of characters' perspectives and spatial relationships. Timing, continuity, and invisible editing are important aspects of constructing suspense and maintaining realism in films.

This document discusses various techniques for analyzing television dramas, including mise-en-scene, camera shots and angles, movement and composition, editing, and sound. It provides definitions and examples of different shot types like close-ups, establishing shots, and point-of-view shots. It also covers concepts like continuity editing, transitions between shots, and sound design. The goal is to equip readers with a vocabulary and framework for deconstructing the visual and audio elements of television shows.
AS to A2 Transition: Media filming preliminary task
This document outlines a film continuity exercise for students to familiarize themselves with basic filming and editing techniques. Students will work in groups of 3-4 to film and edit a scene where one character opens a door, crosses a room, sits in a chair, and exchanges a couple lines of dialogue with another character. The task aims to demonstrate techniques like match on action, shot/reverse shot editing, and following the 180-degree rule. A 3 step process is provided: 1) create a storyboard, 2) write brief dialogue, 3) film the scene.
As level tv drama 2
This document discusses techniques for analyzing television dramas, including mise-en-scene, cinematography, editing, and sound. It provides definitions and examples of various shot types, camera angles, compositions, transitions, and editing techniques. It also discusses how representation in media works to construct aspects of reality for audiences and can influence viewers' perspectives.
Editing techniques
Continuity editing combines related shots into a coherent sequence focused on the story. An eyeline match shows what a character is looking at, such as a fight scene from Star Wars. The 180 and 30 degree rules help audiences follow characters by keeping camera angles consistent. Ellipses omit unnecessary time to maintain narrative flow without long takes. Diegetic sounds are those the characters can hear, like dialogue or background noise. Matching actions between shots portrays continuous events rather than jumps.
Preliminary task2
The document discusses three media techniques: the 180 degree rule, shot/reverse shot, and match on action.
The 180 degree rule establishes orientation by keeping the camera on one side of an imaginary axis between characters. Breaking this rule can disorient viewers. Shot/reverse shot shows one character looking at another and then vice versa to depict a conversation. Match on action edits shots so the same repeated action is continuous between scenes.
Preliminary task2
The document discusses three media techniques: the 180 degree rule, shot/reverse shot, and match on action.
The 180 degree rule establishes orientation by keeping characters on the same side of an imaginary axis between them. Breaking this axis can disorient viewers. Shot/reverse shot shows one character looking at another and then vice versa to depict a conversation. Match on action edits two shots together where an action begun in one is continued in the next, like raising a glass to the mouth, to preserve continuous motion.
AS Media: TV Drama Editing Terms
This document provides definitions for various editing techniques used in film and television production. It discusses techniques such as shot/reverse shot cutting between two speakers in a dialogue, eyeline matches that follow where a character looks, graphic matches that transition between similar shapes on screen, and action matches that cut between logical actions. It also defines jump cuts, crosscutting between concurrent actions, parallel editing of simultaneous events, inserts that cut to closer detail shots, cutaways to related exterior actions, and long and short takes. Additionally, it discusses invisible and visible editing styles, techniques for manipulating the passage of time like slow motion, ellipsis, and montage, and transition effects between shots like dissolves, crossfades, and wipes
Different shots
The document discusses different cinematography techniques used in filmmaking, including the 180-degree rule, match cuts, eyeline matches, and shot reverse shots. The 180-degree rule states that characters should maintain the same left/right relationship in a scene. A match cut links two shots graphically to establish continuity of action. Eyeline matches involve cutting from a character looking at something off-screen to showing what they are looking at. Shot reverse shots alternate between two characters looking at each other during a conversation.

Research into editing techniques
- 1. Research into Editing Techniques ALICE RICHARDSON, LEAH WALKER, ADAM PYE AND DYLAN WILSON
- 2. Shot-reverse-shot •Shot reverse shot is a editing technique where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. •The shot is often paired with close ups, medium shots and over the shoulder shots of a conversation, focusing on the emotion of the characters.
- 3. Match on action •Match on Action is when the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action. A common example is a man walking up to a door and reaching for the knob. •Match on action is used to ensure continuity in editing and to create the opportunity to use a variety of shots in the film. For example you can use a long shot of someone walking up to the door, then a close up of the door knob, then a medium shot from the other side – this would be match on action if the shots collaborated together.
- 4. Elliptical editing •Elliptical editing is a technique used in film editing that allows an event's duration on-screen to be shorter than its duration in the story. The simplest type of elliptical edit is a cut between two shots, both of which show part of the same event. •This is usually used in walking or journey scenes as they are often boring therefore elliptical editing is used to shorten this and make it more exciting.
- 5. 180 degree rule •The 180° rule is a cinematography guideline that states that two characters in a scene should maintain the same left/right relationship to one another . When the camera passes over the invisible axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. •Again this is usually used in conversation scenes and would enable continuity as it may confuse the audience if the location changes from the other side.
- 6. Parallel Editing •Parallel editing (cross cutting) is the technique of alternating two or more scenes that often happen simultaneously but in different locations. •This means that the different storylines unfold in parallel (at the same time but in different locations.) •This is often used to create suspense in a film by showing two different events or in an action sequence to show the different characters positions.
