UNDERSTANDING EDITING TERMS

MOG

PARALLEL EDITING “Parallel editing (cross cutting) is the technique of alternating two or

more scenes that often happen simultaneously but in different locations. If the scenes are simultaneous, they occasionally culminate in a single place, where the relevant parties confront each other.”

This is seen in the movie ‘Inception’ as the scenes alter between reality and a dream. The scenes are linked ,because things that happen in the real world effect what happens in the dream world, plus it’s the protagonists dreams.

JUXTAPOSITION “In a film, the contiguous positioning of either two images, characters, objects,

or two scenes in sequence, in order to compare and contrast them, or establish a relationship between them.”

The God Father ‘The Baptism Murders’, the protagonist is becoming a child's ‘Godfather’ and at this time his men are killing every big league mobster that poses a threat to the business and himself. Shot very between the ceremony and the deaths of the protagonist enemies, then he when asked if he will renounce evil, he said I do.

  ”is sound that is matched to certain movements occurring in the scene e.g. when footsteps (sounds) correspond to feet walking. Synchronous sound: Synchronous sound can be recorded on a tape or magnetic film.”

A simpler definition is all sound that corresponds with what happening on screen. https://prezi.com/a7nv7aghklai/synchronous-and-asynchronous-sound/

‘Teen Beach Movie’ uses a range of synchronous sounds. From the sounds of clapping made when the cast are dancing, clapping there hands, and singing, to the sound of lightning when the sky turns black, interestingly enough all films generally have synchronous sound.

SYNCHRONOUS SOUND

ASYNCHRONOUS SOUND When the actions on screen do not match the sound, for instance an over

head establishing shot of a ghetto and the sound of repated gunshot, this does not match the action taking place on screen therefore being aschrounous sound.

Hitcock's the “39 Steps” uses as synchronous sound, there is a part in the movie when a train is not seen but the sound is coherent and then the train comes but the sound was not in sync with the action.
