For our 30 second film, we will start from outside, show the character starting from the ground floor of the building, and walking all the way up to the fourth floor. We will use elliptical editing to cut out parts of the sequence so that the clip isn't too long, and then show the character entering a classroom. By doing this, we will be able to practice using the 180 degree rule and breaking it. The staircase sequence we have researched will break the 180 degree rule, and so will the part where the character enters the classroom through the door.
We will compare our elliptically edited film with the original, long film which shows every section of the journey so that we can fully see just how elliptical editing is effective for making a film more visually interesting to watch.
Elliptical Editing is a shot transitions that omit parts of an event, causing an ellipsis in plot and story duration. We decided to do this type of editing to show a person entering a building and entering their classroom because although it shows all the scenes and locations where the characters enters, it has skipped time out to make the journey time shorter. I like this type of editing as it is a good and a more natural way to skip out time where as for example Jump Cut Editing.
A Jump Cut is an elliptical cut that appears to be an interruption of a single shot. We have chosen to edit the same journey differently to show the difference between Jump Cut editing and elliptical editing when editing a scene. Jump cut completely skips out time which sometimes doesn't look natural to the audience. We used Final Cut Express to edit both of these to differently to show two different scenes. Although this wasn't my favourite type of editing, i think this was the easiest to edit as you can miss out big parts. |
