Image and Sound research



What is meant by transition of image and sound?

A transition of sound is generally used to maintain the flow of the film into the next scene. This is usually done by removing all sound from a scene, perhaps inserting background music, and then fading in the sound from the next scene as it appears.

An image transition is important in good production. It is the moving from one scene to another. There are many different ways of carrying this out, perhaps fading a scene to black and then having the next scene fade from black. Although there are many different ways to do this and often more complex transitions are needed at dramatic moments in the film. 


Explain in your own words, why editing is so important.

Editing or post production is crucial to smoothly including all the elements of a good movie.  Some of those elements include;
Cutting or the "dicing and slicing" of a movie.  A good movie will change cuts every 10 to 12 seconds and that is why editing is very important.   The cut of a frame can make or break a movie.  Is there a dutch pan? Is the movie an action or horror movie, does its use of jump cuts effectively drive the show or are they in the way or superfluous, does the cut list work or is more footage needed? Are the frames out of focus and muddy to form a cacophony number of cuts to indicate a point of view of a fight scene?  


Shot - In filmmaking and video production, a shot is a series of frames, that runs for an uninterrupted period of time. Film shots are an essential aspect of a movie where angles, transitions and cuts are used to further express emotion, ideas and movement. 


Eye-line match - An eyeline match is a film editing technique associated with the continuity editing system. It is based on the premise that an audience will want to see what the character on-screen is seeing.
