Natural Transitions Part 2

 A natural transition separates two scenes. These transitions are different because they are not artificially implemented on a computer but with clever camera technique. Wipe Pan pans the screen to create a seamless blur between two shots. Body wipe allows an individual to walk towards the camera, fade to black, and walk away from the camera.

Natural Transitions Part 1

 A natural transition is what separates two scenes. One technique is the cut which comes in handy when you do not want the transition to be noticeable. The wipe transition indicates a change in time/location. Swish cams are rapid blurred shots from one scene to another by creating a transition.

Cutting on Action

  Cutting on action is the technique where a cut in-between two shots gives the impression of a seamless action. You can achieve a seamless properly placing the cut between the action. Two things to keep in mind while cutting on action is to plan in advance and story board the cut.

Montage Edit

 So far I have not started my montage edit, but some ideas Iv'e been brainstorming and I want to showcase landscapes. The style I want my montage to be is metric but i want to branch it out into other techniques.  I am still searching for a song.

Continuity Edit Reflection

 Three challenges I am facing in my continuity edit are matching the dialogue, cutting the clips at the right part to ensure continuity, and matching the color in every shot.  Aspects I like about this assignment is learning at my own pace about continuity.

Montage Editing Techniques

 One of Pudovkin's editing techniques that stood out to me was contrast. contrast contributes to the modern movie clip because it shows a comparison between two things that contrast each other. This editing technique works because people unconsciously make automatic connections when the shots are composed and presented to them. I find this technique particularly interesting because I find the way we make connections interesting, I like the psychology behind why this technique is so effective.
