Information about the Great train robbery.

2. ESTABLSHIGNSHOT
An establishing shot establishes the setting of a scene.
When we see a shot of the sun setting behind the exterior of a building, and then we cut to the inside of that building
where our scene takes place, we have seen an establishing shot.
Below have picked three main sots that I think are establishing shots.
This movie the great train robbery has a
lot of establishing shots, from the
beginning to the end hey have a lot of
establishing shots because there is a lot
going on . As you can see below that
there is a still of the clerk siting in his
office I have chosen this scene because it
shows specifically where he robbery will
take place.
In the still above it shows when the
train is arriving at the Platform , I
have chosen this still as an
establishing shot cause this is where
it shows where The thieves will
escape to and it also shows where
everyone will be robbed.
Lastly in the still below it shows
when they have stolen the train. I
had chosen this to be my last
establishing shot because it shows
what they use to get away with all
the goods.

3. CONTINUITY EDITING
A system of cutting used to maintain continuous and clear
narrative action by following a set of rules.
This film the great train robbery has a very clear narrative structure. This is the structure of the narrative as you can see in the print screens above they
explain parts of the narrative. This is the summery of the narrative; the print screens show the thieves stealing money from the bank, then hijacking a
train. After that stealing from passengers on board the train. The bank clerk got shoot and the police finds out and at the end a shoot out happens. The
audience are able to follow what is happening in his film, and they will not be confused with what's going on. By doing this summary it shows that the
film is simple and easy to follow for the audience.

4. The work bench cutting allows directors and creators of a film to watch the film and cut it at the same time.
In this move work bench cutting was
used various times. The director used a
lot of jump cuts as well as match on
action in the film., not only this but he
has used the splicing method as well. As
you can see in the left screen shots above
that two dress's are coloured, this was
not filmed coloured but in fact they
painted on the colour of the dress n the
women, they did this when they were
editing the film. Through out this film we
see that different parts of the film come
together and that some scenes overlap
which causes a jump cut.

5. The 30-degree rule is a basic film editing guideline that states the
camera should move at least 30 degrees between shots of the same
subject occurring in succession.
These two screen shots are explains of the 30degree rue, as you can see
that both of these screen shots are very different the still n the left hand
side shows people getting ribbed by the thieves from the outside of the
train, then in a short period of time someone is laying dead on the train
tracks; the 30 degree rule was used here because we saw that the camera
turned just a bit to create a different scene and something different
happening in the scene.

6. The great train robbery has various differently techniques used in it.
Examples are jump- cuts, location shooting and less stage-bound
camera placement., cross- cuts minor camera movement. Most of
these techniques were used for the first time. They also had showing
two separate lines of action or events happening continuously.
The film shows back and forth of scenes for example the
bandits beating up the telegraph operator.; to the operators
daughter divorcing her father, to the operators recruitment of a
dance hall posse and to the splitting up what they have stolen
and having a final shoot- out.
The film also had employed the first pan
shots in scenes eight and nine, not only this
but it is the first film to have gunshots forced
someone to dance in scene eleven.
The fireman was replaced by a
dummy with a jump cut this was
done in scene 4, when being
thrown out of the train. This film
was the first film to have this kind
of scene in it in history.

7. A jump shot is a cut in film editing in which two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions
that vary only slightly. This type of edit gives the effect of jumping forwards in time.
At first we see the train at the train
station where the theirs are hiding so
that no one can see them, then they use
a jump shot to show the thief's inside
the train to steal it.
Match on action and a jump cut is used
together, this is how; we see the thief's
go through the doors and they they sue a
cut so that the audience can see them
escaping from above. When thief's come
in and out of doors we can see them,
they have done this so that it would
make sense for the next scene.
They had used a jump shot
for this part of the film so it
would be quicker to watch
but they can also change the
scenes from one to another.

8. Matching on action refers to film editing and video editing techniques where the editor cuts from one shot to
another view that matches the first shot's action.
In the first sill we can see the robbers
getting into the train and in the
second still we can see then driving
away- making their escape. In this
scene they have used match on
action, they used this so that it would
make sense how they got from
where they were to the location of
the train and to make sense to the
audience watching it.

9. We see the robbers going out of the
room and then the next scene is of
them hiding when the train is
coming towards them. They do this
so that passengers In the train don’t
see them coming out of the train
station. Match of action is used here
because the audience is following
the action that is going on in the
film as it happens and this also
follows the concept of continuity
editing.
