Editing Flashcards
What is editing?
Anything that’s changing and altering a text.
What is the 180 degree rule and why does it exist and why might it be broken?
Cameras can only be on one side of two characters in a scene to maintain the same left/right relationship with one another.
It’s disorientating and it used to be because there wouldn’t be another set on the other side.
It might be broken for an unsettling effect.
What is continuity editing?
When shots are in the correct order, however there can be cuts between events as long as there’s no disruption of time.
What can flashbacks be used for?
Telling things about a character or giving context.
What is a flash forward used for?
A way of thinking/plan/possible future, but is less common because its harder to interpret into stories.
