T1: Development in Editing

• in-camera editing

this is the technique in filmmaking and video production of shooting shots in the exact sequence that they will be seen on the movie theater screen or television program. this means planning in advance what shots will tell the desired story and then shooting only those shots in order, as opposed to the ususal filmmaking technique of shooting multiple takes out of sequence, then editing them into order to tell the story. 

• following the action

In this film "following the action" is when there are movement or an action scene, the camera would follow the event that is taking place. in the attached clip there is an example of the term following the action which is in the film Mr & Mrs Smith which has a big action scene. In this clip it shows that the camera rotates around the gun battle to show more of the action instead of staying at one angle.

• multiple points of view

For multiple points of view, this is were the characters/actors are showing each side of view. This is where one character will show what he/she is seeing and then it will change to the secondary character and do the same. An example of this is Iron Man.

• shot variation

Shot Variation is when a single stream of images are uninterrupted by editing where the shot can use a static or a mobile framing, a standard or a non-standard frame rate, but it must be a continuous motion. The shot is one of the basic units of cinema yet has always been subject to manipulation, for example stop-motion cinematography or superimposition. In contemporary cinema, with the use of computer graphics and sequences built-up from a series of still frames for a big example "The Matrix" , where the boundaries of the shot are increasingly being challenged.

• manipulation of diegetic time and space

Manipulation of Diegetic Time and Space is when a film uses effects to show an age or time change. Either a person, an object or even an envrionment is shown either getting younger or getting older. There are many films which uses this technique but a famous film is the time machine as the man is in the time machine and the environment changes as he is travelling through time.

 

• film 

A film is when a camera is used to record a story or real events so that it can be shown in the cinema or on television an example could be Madea goes to jail or the prince of persia.

• video

A video editing is the process of editing segments of motion video production footage, special effects and sound recordings in the post-production process. Before digital technologies became available magnetic tapes were used to store information, these were known as video tapes. Most video editing has been superseded by digital editing which is faster and cheaper.

• analogue 

 An analogue is the cutting together of pieces of celluloid film.

• Digital

Digital media is a form of electronic media where data are stored in digital (as supposed to analog) form. Digital editing is the use of computers to order and manipulate this digital data.
