SECTION TWO:

Continuity editing was created by D W Griffith, he created 180 degree rule.  Griffith was American which showed competition to any other pioneers. Eisenstein was a Russian pioneer that came up with the montage theory. He would take apart films and edit them to show a different style and outcome. Then along came Alfred Hitchcock who in the film Psycho combined montage and continuity together in the famous shower scene. Between the Russians and the Americans it was a competition to be the best film makers. Due to film being created by the Lumiers Brothers who were French, Hitchcock move to use montage and continuity together fused anger to the french, so the French pioneer Jean Luc Goddard decided to create a film called Breathless which would have no flow of continuity due to the use jump cuts. Goddard done this to break the rules of film created by Griffith and Eisenstein.  Nowadays modern day film makers are influential of the original pioneers. Continuity vs Montage: Continuity was invented by D.W Griffts through trial and error, this is the use of series of shots to tell a story so its more entertaining. Continuity also absorbed montage as later on it uses montage to show the passage through time or to add an artistic  touch to their works, continuity only took the editing styles but left the politics part of montage .It was developed by an American and therefore belongs to America. While Montage on the other hand is a series of shots that is been used to tell a story but it makes the viewers think which means that the directors deliberately make their editing seamless so the viewers actually notice the editing or put two shots of different contrast to tell a story. The 5 types of Montage are: Metric  Montage: This was cutting to the beat of the music been played. Rhythmic: Cutting according to a particular rhythm. Over Tonal: using large sequence of shots to state the theme. Tonal:Using contrast to comparison to the style or type of shots. Intellectual montage: using ideological concepts in other to make the view think. Montage been the complete opposite of continuity creates discontinuity to actually let the viewers know that something is defiantly not right.  Goddard and the start of the new French wave: The French where the original owners of cinema until the Us and the USSR became more dominant and this was around the 1960 where everyone wanted change and so did the media industry and so did the French so they stood to literally oppose continuity and break all its rule, them make film for an artistic purpose and the man who led this new reign was Goddard. He directed and produced breathless which during editing purposely used jump cuts and broke the 180 degree rule which actually make the viewers think as they are seeing something different,  Goddard is one of the leaders of the French new wave. He realised his first film in 1955 then went on to release Breathless which he was widely recognised for in 1960, breathless carried a lot of different things and techniques he had added something special to his film which was his artistic style which was literally set to oppose continuity as it broke almost all the rules of continuity if not all. He was the inventor of trailers.

Tarantino VS Nolan

Quentin Tarantino is known as an auteur because he turns genres into mashups and creates his own style.  For example, in the pathetic kung fu scene, he breaks continuity by breaking the 180 degree rule. He does this to make the scene look similar to a parody. By breaking the 180 degree rule it makes the scene look staged. In Tarantino's films he tries to create pace and tries to manipulate space and time due to his wacky editing. Tarantino uses discontinuity editing because he has absorbed the western montage editing to use in scenes such as the one below. Tarantino is a contemporary movie producer who uses montage to add artistic touches to his videos, he uses a lot of close ups to show a characters emotions editing has advanced for switching between two shots to show emotions to now using a sing shot to show emotions there by reducing the amount of shots that will have to be taken or edited he also slows down the tempo of his shots and and the rhythm to show tension and to make the viewers know that the character is tensed or nervous about what's actually going on. 

Christopher Nolan is a director who has created many films, he puts himself under he illusion that he is his own audience so he treats himself the same for example if he understands it , then his audience will understand it. he uses continuity editing but he using the modern day version which has absorbed the montage which is called Hollywood montage. In the clip in Inglorious Bastards he uses a motivated cut to show the reaction of the german officers after shortly Sargent Stiglitz was introduced. If he uses continuity editing this shows how modern day editors are influenced by the style of Eisenstein and DW Griffith. I believe that Nolan has been influenced by George Melies due to his use of special effects which shows editing  which is still the same today. Nolan uses a mixture of both continuity as he decided to keep some of the rules of continuity such as cross cutting but he other cases he has actually broke them there by adding artistic touches to his editing and also at the same time using montage and partly continuity he also uses a lot of non-linear editing which gives him mire reason to break continuity because non-linear either starts form the middle or the end and the viewers at the beginning have no clue of what is actually going on until they start to see flash backs which also breaks continuity to an extent.

Editing Examination

Editing Decision List

why have i arranged the clips like this?

The reason i have put my clips in bins is to arrange the clips in groups of location, so when editing finding clips will be easier because they are in order of location. also you were going off a script and you needed to find a certain location you would just try to find the appropriate clip easier due to them being in bins. also by putting the clips in certain bins depending on location shows that we can rename the clips and name whether they're bad or good to use in editing the final product.
