CONSTRUCTING TIME
• Parallel Editing
• Temporal Ellipsis
• Temporal Expansion
THEORY OF MONTAGE:
PARALLEL EDITING
• Parallel editing or "cross-cutting" means "two stories told simultaneously with inter-cutting
Alfred Hitchcock, Strangers on a Train (1951)
PARALLEL EDITING
Parallel action is a powerful technique because it invites the viewer to draw thematic connections or make other kinds of comparisons between the areas of actions.(Hurbis-Cherrier, 2007, pg. 75)
PARALLEL EDITING
THEORY OF MONTAGE:
“Silence of the Lambs” (1991)
Temporal expansion: stretches out time, and is the opposite of temporal ellipsis; examples are evident in Serge Eisenstein's classic Potemkin, Kevin Kostner's Tin Cup, and Silence of the Lambs.
Explosions, falls, and fights are often juiced up with temporal expansion, but such are often ridden with clichés.
Elliptical editing or temporal ellipsis means "omitting part of an event," and almost all editing is elliptical.
Fades often signify "temporal ellipsis"--a break in time going forward
Dissolves often signify flashbacks or suggest future action
Swish pans (flash pans, zip pans, or "wipes") are used to signify a series of events
Sometimes elliptical editing is combined with dialogue to create a long break in time
“THE BIRDS”
(1963) Alfred Hitchcock

Film grammar is disrupted when we cut less because we are use to quick cutting and a certain
language of cinema

Final Cut Pro X organizes master source clips on three levels –Events, Keyword Collections, and Smart Collections. These are an equivalent to Bins in other systems
• Organizing footage creates a logic to the project overall that editor and director can understand
• Clear enough that another editor could come in
• Make it easy to find footage when you need it.
Example:
Project: JAPAN Bin: Day 1
• Mr. Suzuki• Interview CU• Interview MS• Cutaway Office• Cutaway Street
ORGANIZED VIDEO EDITING
