Juxtaposition and Rhythm

This was time spent learning bout telling a story through editing, timing, and such like.

We watched a lot of films and dissected them. These are the some notes I took.
We also got to cut up some really nice footage made by the Grad Dips of earlier years but I can't post that as AFTRS owns the clips.

juxtaposition by...

  • Association (French film 12 monkeys was based on)
  • Collision (Battle ship Potemkin)
  • Linkages (Out of Sight)
  • Comparison (Anne hall)
  • Metaphor
  • Head space

juxtaposition of objects and style.

Wall paper in Barton Fink


Rhythm is...
time, space and energy; shaped into cycles of tension and release

emphasis in the change of pace in the transition

  • flow
  • energy
  • pacing
  • movement
  • intent/emphasis
  • beats speed up/slow down


Cycles of tension and release

three types of rhythm
  • physical (meaningful rhythmic order
  • emotional (psychological/emotional exchanges)
  • event (release of new information/change of direction for character)
