Film language 29th of october - transitions
In todays lesson we focused on transitions, the use of different ways of changing shots.
The different types of transitions can be grouped into:
- Cut
- Wipe
- Fade
- Dissolve
- Morph
A cut is the most used form of transition, there is many different types of cuts such as;
'Shape'/'match cut', where shapes are used to link smoothly two scenes.
'Cut away', where you cut from action to an object.
'Cut on action' where you cut to show anther part of the action, for example the end of a punch or running through the door.
'Cross cut'- two different actions cutting between each other.
'Jump cuts'- Jumping Intime/ jiggered continuity.
'Parallel cutting' Builds tension on two things coming together.
Wipe-
The different types of wipes are 'shape wipe' for example hearts, circles, stars. Horizontal v.s vertical.
Fade- Fades to black/white or any other colour. Normally used for beginning/ ending sequences.
Dissolve- Used for passing of time, flash backs and 'pic mix', it is used to hide cuts.
Morph- is one scene or character or object morphing into anther object/person/scene, often used frequently in animation.
To help scenes smoothly transition, sound edited into the scene before it changes help the audience be introduced into the new scene with out distracting them or making attention to the cut.
Home work: Find an animated sequence that follows the 'ABC film structure' e.g establishing long shot, medium shot, close up.
Introduction to the essay:
Must be 1000 words max, compare two intro scenes of new characters by analysis the sequences.
Essay structure:
Intro- Context
What it tries to communicate by use of transitions, camera shots, structure, mise en scene, sound.
