Shot description Simply describe the shot.

Sound See more information about **sound** in Prof. Tim Bell's [fourth video](https://iu.mediaspace.kaltura.com/media/Analyzing+film+4A+shot+analysis+assignment/1_xcmp4qe0). For this assignemnt, you are only required to specify whether it's **Diegetic** or **Non-Diegetic**. - Diegetic: Coming from inside the story (the current shot); characters can also hear it. - Non-diegetic: Coming from outside the current shot; Only we can hear and the characters cannot. Some examples of Non-diegetic sound ¹: - narrator's commentary - sound effects which are added for the dramatic effect - mood music .footnote[ [1] Examples from [FilmSound.org](http://www.filmsound.org/terminology/diegetic.htm) ] --- class: inverse # 4. Editing 1. Point-of-view (POV) editing 2. Eyeline match 3. Match on action 4. Screen direction (180 degree rule) --- class: inverse background-image: url(https://c101.netlify.com/files/12-week/pov_3_59.png) background-size: 35% background-position: 50% 99% # Point-of-view (POV) editing We start with a close-up of a character looking at something, followed by a shot of what he or she is looking at. Then we go back to their close-up to see their reactions. # Eyeline matches The illusion of a character looking at something in another shot, created through framing and editing --- class: inverse background-image: url(https://c101.netlify.com/files/12-week/action_6_09.png) background-size: 45% background-position: 50% 90% # Match on action An action started in one shot is completed in another, giving us the illustion that we are watching one complete action. --- class: inverse background-image: url(https://c101.netlify.com/files/12-week/direction_6_59.png) background-size: 45% background-position: 50% 80% # Screen direction action continues in the same relative direction between shots. This is also called the **180 degree rule**. --- class: inverse # 4. Summary paragraph Write a brief paragraph describing how your understanding of the characters and/or situation are shaped by a combination of the specific elements you have identified. You don’t need to discuss all the elements, but you should discuss at least three. --- class: inverse # Recap: 1. A shot consists of several footages. Specify the time period to indicate the shot. 2.
