Continuity and Montage
Wes Anderson
Guillermo Gomez Pena
Student work is pretty great
·
Continuity Editing (Classical Continuity)
o
Cut in continuous same shot movements
o
Make sure there is an eye-line match
§
Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo
·
180 degree or action line rule
o
Camera needs to stay on the same line as the
action line in this space.
o
Can move camera on all of these planes but needs
to stay on this imaginary action line.
·
Rule of Jump Cuts
o
The angle from these 2 shots is greater than 30
degrees
o
Will just look like a little piece of film is
missing or like it jumped in time.
o
All based on hard cuts transitions will not
create continuity
·
Psychological idea while watching a video or a
movie is the idea of “moving to a place” and “coming from a place”
·
Montage Theory (Soviet Montage)
o
Based on the relationship of 2 shots
o
A concept is formed from the combination of 2
shots that have nothing to do with each other
o
Merged together with fast paced shots to imply
and action

Example Eisenstein’s machine gun users in
October: Ten Days That Shook The World

The Kuleshov Effect
o
Plain faced man juxtaposed with different shots,
what did the emotions of the plain faced actor show

Lust
o
We bring meaning to the shots based on what
shots we pair together
