6STUDENT LESSON SUMMARY COPY MASTER
Analyzing Editing in Film andTV
A movie or TV show is made up of thousands of camera shots. Editors and producersarrange the shots in a certain order to tell the story and to create certain effects. Beingaware of editing in a movie or TV show can help you understand your reactionsto the overall story.
HERE’S HOW
Strategy 1: Recognize that films and TV shows are not in “realtime.” Films and TV shows do not show every moment or event in a story. Editorsand directors choose shots that will advance the story and maintain the viewers’interest. Ask yourself:
• Over what span of time does the story take place? How do the different shotssignal changes in time or season?
• What details of a story have the filmmakers chosen to focus on? A film or TVshow usually focuses on the dramatic or exciting events in a character’s life,not on his or her everyday routines.
Strategy 2: Understand that every shot is carefully chosen. Filmmakersselect certain shots to emphasize a character’s emotions, to draw your attention to acertain object, or to help you understand the action. For example, if a character justreceived horrible news, the filmmaker might show a close-up of the character’s face.A close-up shot would highlight the character’s feelings and may prompt viewers tosympathize with him or her. Ask yourself:
• What shots has the filmmaker chosen to show?
• What are these shots intended to emphasize? How are they supposed to makeme feel?
Strategy 3: Be aware of the pace. The length of time each shot stays on thescreen determines the pace of a film or show. Pace can be used to create a specificmood, such as one of excitement or suspense. For example, action scenes are usuallymade up of quick cuts that increase tension. Ask yourself:
• How would I describe the pace of this scene?
• What mood does the pace help create?
• How does the pace affect my reactions to what I’m seeing?
