Task 9-Non-continuity

Non-continuity

Non-continuity editing is continuity broken and construction is more apparent, meaning often created through juxtaposition and metaphor shot insert. Non-continuity editing is a style of film making that was made popular throughout the 1950s and 1960s, filmmaker such as Jean Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut pushed the limits of editing techniques and created a new style called " French new wave". French new wave film used a carefree editing style and did not conform to the traditional editing etiquette of Hollywood film. French new wave editing often drew attention to it self by its lack of continuity, its self-reflexive nature. 

Jump Cut

 A jump cut is a cut in film editing in which two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera position that vary only slightly, this type of edit gives the effect of jumping forward in time, it is a control of temporal space using the duration of a single shot, and collapsing the duration  move the audience ahead. This kind of cut suddenly communicates the passing of time as opposed to the more seamless dissolve heavily used in films predating Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless" when jump cut were first used greatly. Jump cut is considered to be a infraction of classical continuity editing, which is intended to give the appearance of continuous time and space, on the contrary jump cuts aims to draw attention. 

180 degree rule

The 180 degree rule is a basic regarding the on screen spatial relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene. An imaginary line called axis which connects the character and by keeping the camera on one side of this axis for every shot in the scene,the first character is always frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first. The camera passing over the axis is called crossing the line and that will make the characters appear to swap position on the screen, however the 180 degree rule may be broken for effect, for example if the aim is to create a startling effect which modern filmmaker use or to convey something is going wrong.
