14. Continuity Editing vs. Complexity Editing Styles of Video Editing

17. Jump Cut: Bad for Continuity, OK for Complexity YOU DEFINE IT: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

18. Flash Frame: Bad for Continuity, OK for Complexity YOU DEFINE IT: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

20. Magnet Summary Directions: • As a class, list important words about continuity and complexity editing. 2. Choose four words that are most important. • Make a sentence or two that summarizes continuity and complexity editing; use the four words in your sentence(s).

22. Know some of what helps to make good editing Day 3

23. View Sample Watch this Clip: List the “So-Called” Editing Errors: No, we’re not going to replay it. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

24. Some of the “Errors” These screen grabs were taken at the out and in points of the edit. IN OUT EX 1 EX 2 What “errors” do you see?

25. So-Called Errors Dustin Hoffman doesn’t lean in as far. Hoffman’s head isn’t in the same spot. Chief’s hands are up.

26. So, What Do We Think We’ve Learned? • With casual viewing, we didn’t notice the errors. • After critical viewing, we did notice the errors. • What does that mean that we didn’t initially notice these errors?

27. Activity • Everyone read, “When and where to make the cut: inspired by Walter Murch’s In the Blink of an Eye” • Outline the article’s points with a partner. See example. • Write a paragraph that explains what we know now about editing. Reference both the Little Big Man clip AND the article. Do it with your partner.
