Shots

We had a work where we had to show different types of shoots. This is my video.
I think that we shoot a good video and showed all shoots, but i have to improved my montage skills.

My film

This film shows how can we montage and shoot films. It was our first work.
I think this work isn't bad but we have to improve our shooting skills.

Editing

Montage is a technique in film editing in which a series of short shots are edited into a sequence to condense space, time, and information.

Cross-cutting is an editing technique most often used in films to establish action occurring at the same time in two different locations. In a cross-cut, the camera will cut away from one action to another action, which can suggest the simultaneity of these two actions but this is not always the case.

Overlapping edit is cuts that repeat part or all of an action, thus expanding its viewing time and plot duration. It shows the same scene from different angels.

Hollywood

Maybe the single most important and most influential element of cinematic form that characterizes classical Hollywood cinema is continuity editing. The most important goal of continuity editing is to make the cut invisible. This is achieved by devices such as the shot / reverse-shot or the eyeline match. The editing is subservient to the flow of the narrative and is usually constructed in a way that it does not draw attention onto itself.

Legendary people

David Llewelyn Wark Griffith
He was one of the most popular american film director. He is best know as director of  'The birth of a nation".
Editors of his times always jut cut and pieced films. D. Griffith opened installation as a creative process. Large-scale, long-distance, medium-sized plans, surveying the movement, sudden influxes they all are his achievements.

Film Example

Lev Kuleshov

Was a Soviet filmaker and film theorist. For Kuleshov, the essence of the cinema was editing, the juxtaposition of one shot with another. To show this principle he created the Kuleshov experience. In this famous experience he shots of an actor were intercut with various meaningful images to show how editing changes viewers' interpretations of images.

Sergei Eisenstein

He is one of the most popular film director in Soviet Union. Also he is known how "Father of montage".

He and his contemporary, Lev Kuleshov, two of the earliest film theorists, argued that montage was the essence of the cinema. His articles and books — particularly Film Form and The Film Sense — explain the significance of montage in details.

Video file formats

The most useful file formats are:

• .mov - quicktime player
• .mp4 
• .avi
• .mpg (.mpeg)
• .m4v
• .m2t
• .wmv

Some of the formats can be compress and uncompress. Compress fle formats take up less space on the computer and can be transfer to the another computer more faster.  Examples of video compression formats include MPEG-2 Part 2, MPEG-4 Part 2, H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10), Theora, Dirac, RealVideo RV40, VP8, and HEVC.

Lossless and lossy

Lossless data compression is a class of data compression algorithms that allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data.

 Commonly used lossless video compression methods include:

• QuickTime
• FFmpeg
• FFmpeg (decoder only, uses x264 for encoding)
• libopenjpeg

In information technology, "lossy" compression is a data encoding method that compresses data by discarding (losing) some of it.

 Commonly used lossy video compression methods include:

• Motion JPEG
• MPEG-1 Part 2
• MPEG-2 Part 2
• MPEG-4 Part 2 and Part 10 (AVC)
• Ogg Theora (noted for its lack of patent restrictions)
• Dirac
• Sorenson video codec
• VC-1

The display resolution

The display resolution of a digital television, computer monitor or display device is the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed. It can be an ambiguous term especially as the displayed resolution is controlled by different factors in cathode ray tube (CRT), Flat panel display which includes Liquid crystal displays, or projection displays using fixed picture-element (pixel) arrays.

ISO, aperture, shutter speed

We was did many photos and used different settings. We wanted to know which settings would be the best for photos.

Aperture: f/2.8

Shutter speed: 1/1250

ISO: 1250

Aperture: f/2.8

Shutter speed:1/40

ISO: 200

This is a good conditions for filming if you are filming 'dreams' or something 'in the past'.

Aperture: f/4

Shutter speed: 1/25

ISO: 250 

Aperture: f/8

Shutter speed: 1/250

ISO: 500

Aperture: f/22

Shutter speed: 1/80

ISO: 320

It's a good settings because we can see field behind much better, the focus is deeper.

Aperture: f/11

Shutter speed: 1/200

ISO: 2500

Aperture: f/16

Shutter speed: 1/400

ISO: 640

Aperture: f/22

Shutter speed: 1/80

ISO: 6400

Filming

Aperture.
Aperture is a device that controls the amount of light admitted through an opening. In filming aperture is the unit of measurement that defines the size of the opening in the lens that can control the amount of light reaching the film or digital sensor. The size of the aperture is measured in F-stop.

Shutter speed.

 Shutter speed is the time the shutter is open. The faster the speed, the shorter the time the shutter is open, and the shorter the time the image sensor is exposed to light. 

The shutter speed is measured in fractions of second. 1/50 (0.02 second) is the standard shutter speed for film cameras, while for video cameras the standard is 1/60 (0.167 second).

ISO.

ISO is actually a common short name for the International Organisation for Standardization. ISO denotes how sensitive a sensor ( or originally film) is to light. 

It was measured in numbers . The lower the number the lower the sensitivity of the film and the finer the grain in the shots you’re taking.

Media

Continuity editing is the predominant style of film editing and video editing in the post-production process of filmmaking of narrative film and television programs. The purpose of continuity editing is to smooth over the inherent discontinuity of the editing process and to establish a logical coherence between shots.

A match cut, also called a graphic match (or, in the French term, raccord), is a cut in film editing between either two different objects, two different spaces, or two different compositions in which an object in the two shots graphically match, often helping to establish a strong continuity of action and linking the two shots metaphorically

Shot reverse shot (or shot/countershot) is a filn technique where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other
