At 3:18 we see this being used. It is used here because it shows the reflective mood on what has just taken place, and helps to slow the scene down after the chaos that has just taken place. It is very effectively used here as the audience is given time to take in what has just happened and see the aftermath of what they have just seen.
Fade In: This is when you gradually fade to a clip or sound from a single colour, usually black or white.
At the very beginning at 0:00 a fade in effect is used here. The screen starts out black and the then the shot slowly appears. I believe this was used here to set the scene and was effective as it got the audience ready and prepared for the drama.
Fade Out: Fade out is a term used to describe a transition effect where the image slowly disappears into a black. This usually indicated the end of a scene or the video.
At 0:29 a fade out effect is used. We can tell as the scene fades out to a black screen. I think this was used here to sum up the quick scenario that took place between the two characters and to also set the scene for the next scenario which moves to another place and another time.
Wipe: A transitional device in which one image slowly replaces another by pushing the other out of the way.
- I need an example -
Superimposition: The exposure of more than one image on the same film strip. Unlike a dissolve, a superimposition does not signify a transition from one scene to another. The technique was often used to allow the same performer to appear simultaneously as two characters on the screen.
- I need an example -
Long Take: An uninterrupted shot in a film which lasts much longer than the conventional editing pace either of the film itself or of films in general, usually lasting several minutes. It can be used for dramatic and narrative effect if done properly, and in moving shots is often accomplished through the use of a dolly or Steadicam.
At 2:56 we see a long take editing style being used as a way to drama attention to the scenario unfolding between the two characters. It creates a lot of drama and the audience get a feel that the two characters are fighting and that there is clearly tension there between the characters. Therefore it has been very effectively used.
Short Take: A shot of film or video that has a brief duration on screen, usually less than 3 seconds.
At 0:12 a short take is used very effectively. Throughout the start of this episode we constantly see very short interludes of clips. These are to show us all the significant things going on in the place at the time. Therefore the audience get a sense that all these things are going to be connected somehow later in the episode.
Slow Motion: An effect in film-making whereby time appears to be slowed down.
At the very start of this clip, so 0:00, things appear to be in slow motion. I believe this is very effective because it is a very serious scene and by slowing it down we, the audience, gather a sense of fear and that this is a very crucial moment in this characters life as it determines whether she will live or die.
Ellipsis: A narrative device and the most basic idea in film editing. Ellipsis concerns the omission of a section of the story that is either obvious enough for the public to fill in or concealed for a narrative purpose, such as suspense or mystery.
At 1:05 we see an Ellipsis editing style being used as there is a fight going on. Instead of just acting out the fight we see little bits and pieces of it and we, the audience, put together the whole thing, making it as violent or as non-violent as we want it to be.
Expansion of time: Slower than real-time. For example, you might have a fight sequence that is shown in slow motion and/or from several different angles. An action sequence that only took a few seconds in real time might take half a minute on video.
At 11:33 an expansion of time is shown. There is a fight that breaks out in the classroom and to the audience this continues for a longer tine than it would in actual real life. This is effective because the audience who've been watching the clip has seen the increase in tension between the two fighting and the longer this fight lasts the more this echoes the previous threats made.
Post Production: The third and final major phase of the production production process. Common tasks during post-production include:
- Editing video footage
- Editing the soundtrack, adding sound effects, music, etc.
- Adding titles and graphics
- Colour and exposure correction
- Adding special effects
- Re-shooting certain scenes if required ("pick-up" shots)
Visual Effects: The various processes by which imagery is created and/or manipulated outside the context of a live action shoot. Visual effects involve the integration of live-action footage and generated imagery to create environments which look realistic, but would be dangerous, costly, or simply impossible to capture on film. Visual effects using CGI have become increasingly common in big-budget films, and have also recently become accessible to the amateur film maker.
At 0:57 we see visual effects being used as there was an explosion. This clip is full of visual effects. These are used throughout this clip to create a sense drama and distress as a serious of very unfortunate events take place. In this part though CGI is used to add the fire to the explosion which would be cheaper and a real explosion would have been too dangerous and people would've gotten hurt.
