class notes

A shot is a continuous piece of filming without interruption from the time the camera is turned on and starts filming until it is turned off. In general, shots don't last more than 10 seconds.

Cinema is a visual art form. Cinema is not literature. A film is not a novel.

An edit is a break in the film where one shot ends and the next shot begins.
Four common types of edits are:
- cuts
- dissolves
- fades
- wipes

As scene is a collection of shots, arranged through editing, into specific order.

  1. Hi Courtney, see if you can organise your blog notes a little better so that the images are smaller in the blog and so that each image is inserted near the notes...this will be a huge benefit to you when it comes to your essay
    thankyou Miss Makin
