The Cutting Edge Documentary Notes:
- Seen this film before
- Director-Editor Relationships
- Power of a single frame can influence the entire film
- Realism is achieved through the deception of editing (Jaws)
- suspended judgement was broken (The audience is taken out of the story by being shows how a film was put together)
- Juxtaposition of editing: Creating a third more powerful sub-meaning through the use of two unrelated shots.
- Juxtaposition is the most crucial element of deeper meaning storylines
- speed up and slow down time to distort the audience’s perception
- Russians vs griffith and now the american cinema absorbed what he Russians pioneered in film and editing.
- appropriation of techniques
- suspension as a build up to action
- seeing something but hearing something else so they don’t match creates alternative theories for the viewer
- cut with your gut not if there should or should be a cut
- Disassociation from the preproduction and emotional aspect of the film until its finished
- sound and picture manipulation of audiences
- Standard editing rules and breaking them to achieve various effects
- Fracturing time and space
- Making the cuts faster split seconds to capture that extra movement
- Kids demand the fastness of information
- When not to cut
