Week Film School Hulu was 7: Post-production

In an interview with NPR, the famous editor Walter Murch (Godfather Trilogy, Apocalypse Now) described his work as "a cross between a short and a cooking brain surgeon."

The job of an editor is very complex. Pastors as the last movie, reorganize, splice, cut, shape and rushes to mood, tension and structure of the film to breathe. Under the direction of a great editor checks frameless, without contribution - either in action or filmmaking -. Goes in this last week of the Summer Film School Hulu underestimated to investigate these unsung heroes, such as celebrating carry the film through the final stages of production.

The film report of fluid travels, Chris Marker Sans Soleil explores the changing nature of memory, time and their effect on our perception of history. With techniques elliptical editing wedding documentary found footage, sends the film to us living cityscape marking Tokyo in the jungles of Guinea-Bissau in Africa in the alien landscape of Iceland, and Back in Japan, where we attended a religious ceremony in honor of cats. With all this splendor, Sans Soleil free of synchronous sound and used an invisible narrator (reading the diary of a fictional travel camera man who took the pictures that we see caught) that the binding force of matter. The synthesis of writing sight and sound simultaneously is sustainable and ephemeral, like someone trying to remember - and re-experience - a distant memory.

Later in the film, Marker shows his affection for Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, which ". Impossible memory, insane memory" on it as an attempt to discover a The memory and time wind up in an endless spiral as a marker present images of Vertigo puts images always stay in San Francisco, to recreate scenes from Hitchcock. Output is sharp and precise alignment in a frame on his plan Vertigo live-action corresponding Without the sun, while the narrator draws a comparative deconstruction of Hitchcock movie, the inability to "live with the memory without distorting them into question .

2) Breathless

Be the first feature film by Jean-Luc Godard breath revolutionized the way films processed. He made the jump cut a viable option to compress the narrative time. The plot is very informed by the popular film culture before 1960: a young bat is on the trail of the police with his American girlfriend. But the energy of the film has little to do with the plot and everything was shot with the way the film is loose and the endless invention of film editing.

Consider Michel (Jean-Paul Belmondo) and is removed from the beginning of the movie car in a robbery in this clip. Not to keep jumping dishes continuity of time and space, but it is an emotional logic of Michel tear through France. The film forces the viewer to see how Michael sees himself (as cool, but playful, full of energy and passion) and Godard's style is like the crazy movie stream of consciousness - that is the recognized life as it is, or at least the way we like to be in the eyes of our mind.

Landscapes 3) Manufacturer

More than any other genre is reflected in the editing room, the structure of the film. In a typical production documentation, hundreds of hours of footage and then the content editor that has some 90 minutes to reduce.

A witness documentary processing in the manufactured by Jennifer Baichwal landscapes in which Baichwal follows Edward Burtynsky Photographer captures diverse as the world were to be seen shaped by the landscapes of industrial production. One of the many stunning shots of the film is a shot of the Chinese production workers lining up to take control of their managers. The spacious underscores the strength of identically dressed workers and also serves to highlight the lack of individualism in the room. This plan will be followed by a cut to Burtynsky photo of the event, then cut to Burtynsky photo in a gallery space with visitors who correspond meet through it. This sequence represents the ability Baichwal output Transcend not only time but also space. As a result, viewers a better understanding of the power of images to the social and economic Burtynsky communicate situations for the rest of the world.

In "First", two scientists accidentally discover time travel, and this affects your life slowly, over and over again. It is fast paced but slow and dark, and completely immersive.

In this clip, Aaron and Abe learn that time travel can happen right under their noses. As both try to understand what happened to make, the amount is nervous, hectic and a little incoherent, which corresponds to the activity of the brain. But as we agree that that processing slows, so that we get to spend a little more time with each shot to the conclusion. This gives our unconscious mind some space again - a way of saying, "we moved here," as the characters in the story.

Having adopted the Cut

Famous editor Sergei Eisenstein, to work on his latest movie. As you can probably see, he took his job very seriously.

When putting together a puzzle, each piece is part of a predetermined set. There is a picture on the box, and that's what you get. If you have more space and the image of the games, you know you are.

With question is not so simple.

Carefully selected plans, camera movement and all shows end up in the same place, the proverbial puzzle box, ready to be set by the publisher. Was released to the movie, the story was taken up has been (probably custom) not say that! . The editor is as much a storyteller as a writer, and control many aspects of the film, including:

Tempo: change sets the pace of a scene. Quick cuts and cuts that do not conform to enhance the feeling of intensity. The action sequences and crazy chases are known for many quick cuts - they go a long way! But something as simple as a family discussion about the dinner can be an intense war during processing leads us to the table.

Act and react: They say "action responds," and the question is not strikingly different from white, it is important to see a sign, how they talk, but it's almost more important to see how. other characters to react! An experienced editor can mix a movement response time and adjust various recordings, sometimes to create different lines.

In his book "In a wink," Academy Award-winning editor Walter Murch speaks of "the piece of blackboard," before the board small film shot and call the "action". During this twenty-second piece of film was never in the movie, maybe the actor had the right expression on his face. Murch says that all caught on film is fair game for editing.

Continuity: We've all seen Flubs continuity errors, missing things in line, etc. We believe that we are smart enough to realize. Believe it or not, these types of errors found in the bottom of the list of importance to a publisher. When choosing between an amazing performance by an actor or make sure that the lamp in the background does not move, the editor uses the power at all times.

The bottom of the chamber cut: Not every time, is in the film. Perhaps that you took the driving and a half, who liked the director simply do not work. Perhaps the actor is trying to focus, to disturb the feeling of the scene. It is the responsibility of the publisher to be separated from Upper situations, and use the pieces that were given to telling a story in the best way possible.

And ... that's a Wrap!

The question is abstract and virtually unlimited. Choose tempo and shot power is a great responsibility of the narrative. The films are made or broken in the editing room. The next time you see a movie, try to pay attention to the cuts - you will probably find it to be forgotten quickly and they find themselves back in history. Big problem affects us on a subconscious level and disappears in the film.

This is the last blog of the Summer Film School Hulu. We hope that you have seen and learned something you did not know before the films in a different way!

Dolls as "entertainment" is a polarizing topic among passionate fans, but there is no denying that the gameplay is deep rooted in the simple concept of animation artists encourage inanimate objects to tell a story. As in film and traditional pencil paper, this effect is not only scenes that were "learned", but also by the sounds and movements of objects in order to create the illusion that everything achieved real.

Operatively with Jim Henson puppets, hand manipulates the head and mouth, while the other manipulates the hands and arms. For this reason, the faces of the dolls are to remain static when the emotion is predominantly expressed by tone of voice and arm movements. With his powerful voice and aggressive arm movements, we can say that Miss Piggy is stormy; Kermit is affable, because their permanent thoughtful eyes and gentle movements.
