Jump cut

will be picking my four key moments in the movie and critically analysing them with the use of film terminology. By the end of the essay I should know why I consider this to be my favourite sports film of all time. The first scene I want to analyse is at 19 minutes. There is a sequence where the main character (Munez) has to work to get money to travel to England. The sequence of jump cuts going from one job to the other is a perfect use of speeding up the process while also using settings as a way to portray the character. Firstly, a jump cut is used to stop the continuous flow of the film. Therefore, essentially the film is switching to a different time and it is not a continuous sequence. This creates a very enjoyable montage where you see Munez “cut from one location to the next” as he works two jobs to get the money he needs (Dix, 2008:64). This brought a feel good factor to the film despite the scene only being around 20 minutes in. This is because it made me realize that Munez is a hard-working individual who is trying to chase his dream. By the director’s speeding up the film by jump cutting, it makes the moment more enjoyable as we get to see how Munez is…

Godard used a few difference camera angles and styles such as iris shot, close up, medium and wide shots, and camera movement. Godard also used many jump cuts and quick cuts to shift between scenes. For instance, in the beginning, he used jump and quick cuts of close up shots of Michel and a woman that let the audience have the illusion of Michel is having a very close relationship with with that woman. As Godard switch to a wide-angle shot, that’s where we know we have been fooled and they were…

1. I started the activity on 9/9/16 at 3:06 pm and completed it on 9/11/16 at 5:45 pm. 2. I had to look up cryptomnesia, which is when one forgets to cite a source because of losing track of a source and then remembering the thought as an original idea (Cryptomnesia, 2011). 3. I know that the source is scholarly and credible because it was published by a well-known and respected journal and has the authors’ credentials. 4. The author is a respected authority on the topic and has published…

It was, at one point, taking every shot filmed on location, and putting them all together in a way so that the film makes sense. Nowadays, the editor may also add special effects or background music, in addition to selecting and combining the scenes. There are several major techniques of editing, including thematic montages, sequences shots and various types of cutting, such as classic, abstract, and continuity. In Now You See Me, all editing techniques are expressed within the film, but not all…

we went swimming in the centos. These one hundred plus foot deep pool of water were extremely terrifying. On one side of the pool was a platform where you could dive off of, and the other were sharp rocks you could cut yourself on them if you didn’t dive far enough. I remember yelling to my brother “I’m scared, Ernie! I don’t want to jump! It’s too deep!” All I remember hearing from him is “Don’t be a wimp! You won’t have a chance to do this again! Just do it!” With that being said, I took a…

delweiss, at first glance, appeared to be nothing more than a natural occurring valley, buried at the bottom of some cliffs, but looking closer, gentle curls of smoke floated up above a cluster of pines. “Come on, then. Down we plunge,” said Finn. “You don’t mean jump…Do you?” Grace stared back with alarm. “I can’t!” Finn hooted with laughter. “Of course not! We’ll use the stairs,” prancing through a patch of wildflowers, Finn revealed a spiraling set of stairs cut into the side of the…
