3 Film Editing Techniques

 

This video would be an example of Parallelism and or Simultaneity. However, I would say that this would be closer to Parallelism mostly due to how each person and each car are moving back and forth showing how each character is reacting to the situation. In this scene specifically from the movie Austin Powers, the back car starts to shoot at the car with Powers in it. This shows the repeating of going back and forth between each car and each person. At the end of the scene you can see how the reactions of the shooting goes back and forth and soon enough the back car with the villain proves to be outmatched and the scene shoots forward to how the car flies off of the cliff. 



This is another scene from Squid Game on Netflix portraying the master edit of Simultaneity. In this scene you can see the workers or guards roaming down the halls bringing some cargo further below the higher prison levels. At this same time, the prisoners are moving up and down the colorful staircases moving further and further into their doom. Specifically, the changing of each cut scene, shows how each of these things are happening at the same time just on different levels of this prison. 


This would be an example of Symbolism in the Netflix show Squid Game. This is because of the actual symbols in this scene. As the kids run to the candy maker, you can see the cookie frames being certain shapes. Later in this scene you can see how those frames further relate to the future of the these characters. The star being one of the many shapes and symbols that show up on the walls of the prison. Furthermore, the example of the symbols within the prison walls and the shapes of the candy show how these two events could be connected in a way. This is shown by the widening of eyes by the main character which connects why these symbols are so important.

 AICE Media Studies Reason to take the class: One of the main reasons why I ended up taking this class is mostly because of some of the recommendations I got for this specific class. Throughout my Junior Year I have had people come up to me and have me or my class in one of their films for this "AICE Media" class. And honestly at the time I didn't know what they were talking about, however, through some discussions I finally figured out that it was more like a hands on type of class rather then just sitting there and reading a textbook. Now hopefully I will get out of this class what some of my fellow classmates will, is the ability to work well on pieces of film making but also working well as a team.

5 Master Edits w/ Khang

  https://youtu.be/KNRE1FTJHPE This is Khang Tran’s and Joshua Listrom’s 5 master edits. First off, the contrast edit. In this specific scene you can almost notice the amount of enormous effort being put into writing an assignment onto this paper. As the student seems like he is working his day away, you can see a clear transition into what he truly wants to be doing. In this case, it’s scrolling through TIK TOK! Secondly, the Ideal shot of parallelism where it shows two separate people living there own lives in their everyday high school hallway. As this scene goes further it displays the similarities but also differences within each footstep. Creating a more streamlined type of parallelism!  In this example we are showing symbolism, which in short is the similarities within the two different shots. You can see in this example that the defensive lineman on the wall (displaying math figures) quickly switch to an actual defensive lineman for our Lely High School football team s...
