Photogram

This whole idea was experiment with light sensitve paper, similar to traditional photography techniques. First thing  we've placed the Natureprint Paper against the sun and place a flat object on top of the paper while its being laid out in the sun for 2 mins. After the two minutes is done, protect the paper from the sun and face it to you. Then you ran the paper under cold water. This stop the paper reacting from the light. I think let the paper dry. The areas of the paper which were exposed to light went dark blue and the areas which were in the shade or covered by an object went white.

This is an early technique that was pioneer by the photographer Man Ray. He even named the technique after himself called the Rayogram!

Introduction to editing (Editing: The Invisible Art)

• What is crosscutting?

It crosscuts back and forth between the two climbers comparing their progress up the cliff and then cuts back to the anxious audience for reaction shots.

• What are reaction shots?

The shots are varied from close-ups to long shots, and show the men as tiny and a relation to the vast cliff-face their clinging too. 

• What is seamless editing?

Because of the drama of the situation and the way the sequence is being constructed, we don't really notice the work of the editor with a seen like this, its was known as seamless editing.

• What is a jump cut?

As a sound of the gong fades, the camera cuts to reveal a much smaller bowl, the filmmaker has used to what its called a jump cut. 

• What is a flash back and what does it achieve?

Flashbacks takes the audience from one point in time to another, there often use to shown as known as backstory.

A key moment or period in the characters life which explains how they got to where they are now. 

• How can editing be used poetically?

Editing poetically can be confusing for the first time you see it, from umbrella's in the rain outside the cinema, it dissolves through to an audiences and pans across to see twp weeping women.   

Introduction to editing (Hustle)

• Overhead establishing shot – what does this achieve?

The director sets out the space where the action will take place and the character's position's within the room. 

• What is Shot-Reverse-Shot?

Shot Reverse Shot simply means by cutting back and forth between the two men, we assume that their looking at and talking to each other.

• What is Eye-line matching?

The big man standing up looks off-screen and down, where is the seated man looks offscreen and up, we guess from the angle of their eyes that their looking at each other 

• Why do we cut to the other members of the group?

The main character Sean lays out the plan, and as he is talking for the most of the scene, the editor could've chosen to stay on a single shot of him but instead we cut to different members of the gang. Sometimes individually, sometimes in two shots, so we can see their faces and their reactions both to the plan and to each other. 

• What is a wipe?

The editor then uses a slick transition called the wipe to move the action to different location and time and choses a diagonal angle to show us a disorienting view of a building site. 

• What is the effect of using quick cuts?

The first minute of this excerpt is made from 26 different shots, some are quite long and others only last a second or two and these creates a fast rhythm which intern to keep the story moving along and the audience on their toes.

Introduction to editing (The Gloaming)

Introduction to editing

The Gloaming

What is editing?

Editing is a process of selecting into different shots, and joining them together to make a story.

What is Eliptical Editing?

Eliptical Editing- it allows us to fill in the gaps, moves the story on more quickly, it takes up less actual time on screen.

Why are long shots used?

The choice of a long shot is used to remind us where she is and tells us she is alone.

What is ‘non-diagetic sound’?

The sounds in this shot are dripping water and birdcalls are part of the natural world around her. But after a while we begin to hear something else. A note of music playing underneath the sounds of nature this is called Non-diagetic sound. The music isn’t actually playing there at the lake, the character can’t hear it but crucially the viewer can.

How do we know she is bending down to pick up the ring? (What shots are used and why?)

Then the character looks down and to the right of the frame, As she bends down, we cut to the ring buried in the grass, and because this shot follows the previous one of her looking down, we fill in the gaps and make the connection that the ring is what she's looking at. The director could instead have chosen a longer uninterrupted shot in which we saw her bending down all the way. But cutting the two images together of the girl and the ring is a quicker way of making the same point.

Evaluation (Playing with Time)


In this short film of The Gloaming see a couple who were just married and flashes back to a long shot scence where she is looking straight into the camera and flashes back to her husband on where he asking her to go on a ride him. She bends down and saw a ring buried down as she bend down the camera cuts to the ring and to her face to know that the ring is hers. It then shows a scene where she is sitting next to the camp fire burning a piece of paper remembering her husband. She then went inside the caravan and saw something underneath the blanket which she thought it was her husband sleeping, but she decides to check who's underneath the blanket she saw a skull of a dead person and it scared her to death.
