![]() Overall, the technique seemed to be used sparsely, so as to emphasize when it was used and to emphasize the subject(s) of the shot. True, there was a lot happening visually within the film, and perhaps because I have seen this film before I did not feel overloaded by the techniques used, but I found that the pacing provided enough calm moments in between the visually rushed, to allow the viewer to experience the film with minimal stress. These shots stood out in Vertov’s film for, in my opinion, a variety of reasons that seemed to cumulate in this idea of avoiding a visual overload for the viewer. In The Man With a Movie Camera, there were a few triple, and even quadruple, exposure shots. My question for this week is in regards to “trick shots” and their use in today’s cinema. Such was the case for me when watching the events that occurred to the murdered mother, child and older woman, in Battleship Potemkin. Not only can it be used to bring the viewers attention to specific moments, themes, or ideas within a film, but it can also be used to actually instill the emotions being felt by those characters, into the film’s audience members. One of the fascinating things I learned about editing this week was in regards to the use of collision montage editing. My question would have to be, in a sense a double exposure has two images overlaying each other, there could be more (eg triple, quad, pent etc.) has there ever been a use of multi exposure more than 3 for a film that is not defined as avant garde? It is very interesting how it is used in the beginning of cinema and how filmmakers utilize this to create illusions, ideas or present emotions though unique visuals.ģ. I’ve heard of this technique before, but I never got a chance to full grasp the idea of the entire idea. This week, I discovered the technique of Double exposure. With lot of editing experience already, majority of the time I get reminded of the different techniques that I am very familiar with but it is when new ideas or not so common techniques that are reveled to me that surprise me, adding to my repertoire. More and more each class, I absorb more intricate ideas of editing. ![]() I apologize that I could not answer your question fully.Ģ. So the best bet is the Columbia River for that second set of lake shots, but I cannot confirm with without a shadow of a doubt. IMdB lists Lake Arrowhead and the Columbia River in Oregon as filming locations, but the TMC notes state that the exterior village shots were filmed at Lake Arrowhead. ![]() The actual first “attempted drowning” scene, where the husband moved to drown his wife, was harder to pin down. TCM (see the following site on a brief collection of Notes about the film – ) mentioned that the scene in the beginning where the husband was imagining killing his wife, was done with a crane and acrobatic stand-ins. One was done in a studio – I remember that being mentioned in class – and was the storm scene when the Husband and Wife were returning home. As far as I can tell, there were three different kinds of lake shots. So I did some research and I found a partial answer to your question. Rowling has to the Harry Potter books? Really? Nobody helped him make it? Like his wife and editor? We’ll see how many of us feel that way by the end of the semester. However that brings up an important editorial point – when is a film ever really finished? For example, “Blade Runner” has at least four authoritative versions – which one should we watch (uh, if we were to watch it)? Or as the kids from South Park said (in the course of an episode) to those re-editors Spielberg and Lucas: How about if the Beatles remade the White Album every five years? The answer that many of your fellow students in this class have given in the past is “Well, it’s Lucas’s film, he can re-edit Star Wars if he wants.” Lucas has the same relationship to Star Wars that J.K. Just to add to my answer to Stefany above, in the peculiar case of MWAMC, we are probably hearing the soundtrack as close to Vertov’s intentions as anyone ever had. Vy I will make a better effort to say your name correctly! And thank you for noting about the pace of your shots.
