Task 9- Theories 1...Bordwell and Thompsons

Graphic

The transitions between each shot can be linked though the same 'pictorial qualities' like shape, patterns and movement of light and can also cause abrupt cuts when contrasting qualities are used.

Graphic Match

This cut emphasizes between the graphic and the similarities of the shots.

Graphic Continuity:

This is used when the director wants to establish a sense of continuity and often narrative in a music video.

Graphic Discontinuity 

This is use when contrasting colours and shapes are used in a shot.

Spatial

This transition is used to relate each shot to one another through it's setting and location.

Continuity Editing

An establishing shot followed by a range of small range shots are shown to be in the same location and time frame.

Kuleshoveffect

There is no establishing shot but the audience assume that it is the same time and location.

Cross Cutting

This when seperature places are being shown parrallel to eachother, this usually shows what is happening in different locations during the same time in the frame.

Temportal

This is when the of action is manipulated. It is usually done through flashbacks and flashforwards, and can be used to create or answer questions within the narrative. Ellipsis in time are often used to remove boring clips that would create viewer fatigue. 

Empty Frames

This shows the figure of interest moving of the frame followed by them walking into an empty frame usually in a different location. 

Cutaway

This shot shows an event happening for a short amount of time somewhere else.

Rhythmic

This is the duration of each shot in relation to the beat or tempo. It can create tension when the length is steadily increasing and exciting when it is becoming shorter. When a shot is cut on the beat it creates a smooth flow and when it is cut off the beat it usually feels abrupt and imcomplete.
