Continuity has become the most dominant principle of editing as the Early cinema editing developed and influenced the Modern period. Continuity is the most mainstream technique of all single camera techniques as it allows a production to include a sense of time and space and flowing (continuing) story line, performed actions and cuts. Continuity, allows the audience to view a production and understand what is taking place as the production was formed for their entertainment, this is oppose to montage. Montage, breaks continuity with several videos placed back to back which may include, jump cuts, flashback, flash forwards, etc. It challenges the audience to understand why the clips are shown. It's quite obvious why continuity is supreme to montage as continuity is formed entirely for entertainment whereas, montage makes the audience think.
Continuity techniques such as: Seamless Cuts, Motivated Cuts, Cross-Cutting, 180 Degree Rule,Cutaways, P.O.V Shot & Shot Reverse Shot, are all still used today for their own individual reasons.
Seamless Cuts - Follows the actions and emotions of characters rather than visible shots.
Motivated Cuts - Maintains interest and sometimes creates suspense.
Cross-Cutting - Creates suspense and mystery.
Shot Reverse Shot - Intensify and focus on several characters having a conversation.
180 Degree Rule - Used to sustain characters conversing and maintains continuity.
P.O.V Shot - Makes the audience to imagine they're in the character's position.
Montage, and discontinuity techniques developed from Early to Modern cinema to challenge continuity as jump cuts, made a subject or object appear supernatural/magical. Also, open endings made the production suspenseful.
Contemporary cinema still use the techniques (listed above) today. However, they also use alternative techniques such as jump cuts and montage, but this is only used for entertainment. A example of this would be Quinton Tarantino's film 'Kill Bill' in which a several montages (fighting scenes) take place., this was most probably used to intensify the action of the scene. Moreover, jump cuts are used to skip unneeded sense of time and space (continuity).
Einstein & Kuleshov had mastered the use of montage as they wanted the audience to think for themselves why they're trying to understand they're viewings of several shots/scenes instead just being entertained. They lost the battle to continuity as it was much more interesting and preferred. The Kuleshov effect allowed the audience to perceive and form an opinion on the male looking at the several other subjects in the next scenes - it's obvious the montage was use to mentally challenge it's audience. However stylistic usage such as; training montages (Rocky), shopping montages, (A Cinderella Story), action montages (Kill Bill), etc. are simply used to show that a subject is performing an action or doing something for a long period of time, however, continuity is not necessary as it will not give the audience the feel that time is passing by quickly. This alternate version of montage/discontinuity shows that the original purpose of montage has been abandoned.
Contemporary Cinema pioneers used montage to be artistic purposes as they want to entertain their audience.
The New Wave set out to break continuity as they want the audience to think instead of being entertained, eliminating the use continuity
This is my EDL. It's helpful to have an EDL as it saves time when placing recording footage together. You will know what shot you want next in your sequence of scenes. Moreover, it's best to make one post-production to make your production as interesting as possible. For example, planning to have a close-up on a character's face when they are reading a text message intensifies her reaction upon her face. In conclusion, media is all about planning before taking action so that everything runs smoothly.
The format of this production is a single drama as it is a short film which will not have a sequel or continuing plot for another production.
As the production soon commences, the information of whom/what the film was produced by and the title, appear on screen. A dull and evil looking background is used to reveal to the audience that the production will be terrifying. The red cracks may suggest something demonic is trying to break loose and cause havoc, this helps the audience to assume the short film is a horror. Moreover an sweet-yet-creepy doll house tune plays while the title is shown on screen to give the audience and eerie feel.
The first scene plays and it shows a young girl lying up on her bed starring at something in the distance as lightning strikes outside her house. A long shot is used to show the girl and where she is (her bedroom) but is not a master shot as the director didn't want to show her whole room at the start of the film so that the audience can see what she is focusing on. The camera zooms into the girl as the scene continues play, this is so that the camera can focus on her face showing emotion to whatever she is looking at. Whatever, she is looking at must be extremely terrifying as most children are horrified by the lightning, however when it strikes she does not flinch, move, or make any sort of reaction as she just continues to focus on something/one in her room. Low key lighting is used in this scene to create another eerie feel for the audience as they wonder if something will attack or scare her in the night.
A man enters her room (presumably her father) to check on the girl to see if she is okay. This may create dramatic irony for the audience as they may have assumed she is not alright because something is keeping her up in the late hours of the night.
A close-up is used in the next shot when the man questions the young girl as to why she is not asleep. The close-up is used to show his confusion and/or curiosity for her purpose of being awake. Mid key lighting is used on his face meanwhile low key light is still used for the background of the scene; this is to show that the man will be the young girls saviour from something evil behind him (or in the background). Lightning sound effects play-out in this scene to show something destructive will soon commence. Lastly, shot reverse shot is used to illuminate the conversation between the male and the young female.
The young girl reveals that the reason she is still awake is because the doll in her room is coming to get her. She then points to the doll and then the male turns his head to view the doll. A medium-shot is shown at first which then swiftly cuts to a close-up of the doll. This is important as the medium-shot was used to show the view of what the father was looking at. However, the close-up was thrown in by the director so that that audience can view how frightening the doll actually looks. Low key lighting is used once again to illuminate the creepiness within the scene.
The male walks over to the doll to examine it, which leads to the camera panning horizontally. A close-up is used when the male stares directly into the dolls eyes to create tension between the heroic father figure and the troubling subject (the doll).
The father picks up the doll and stores it in side a cupboard and ensures the girl that he wouldn't let the doll harm her. Electrifying music subtly plays to show that, that may have been a bad move to do which will make the audience feel uneasy as to what will happen next. The man leaves the room and places his hand over his head in a tiresome gesture as this situation has taken place several times before. A low-angle shot is used to show his grief which makes him look powerful which maybe okay to use considering he came across as a saviour to the girl, however I believe a high-angle shot should have been used to show that he's not as dominant as he believes since he is having grief with his daughters issue with the doll.
The male makes his way into the kitchen, downstairs and roams about the room. Jump-cuts are used to show that he is contemplating the situation of the young girl and has been thinking about it for a lengthy time period. This allows the audience to know that he is bothered by the girl being scared of the doll. A mid-shot and mid-key lighting is used just to show where he is, in the house (kitchen).
The young girl gets out of her bed as she heard a tapping noise. Lightning flashes maybe to show that something thrilling yet horrifying will take place. Level shot is taken from under the bed starring at her feet this creates dramatic irony as the audience may feel as if there is a monster (the doll) and her bed and shot is actually the monsters current view.
Cross-cutting is used as the man yells down his phone to the caller saying "the treatment is not working". This reveals that the young girl has issues. Meanwhile his daughter is being hunted on and attacked by the living doll. This creates dramatic irony as the audience wants the man to know that the young girl needs saving immediately. The audience is unsure if the father will save her in time. A close-up is then used to show the doll is alive and ready to attack, meanwhile quick-flickering of shots cut from the doll attacking the girl, to the girl being attacked then to the man trying to reach the endangered girl. Every shot of the girl being attacked is a close-up to clearly show her emotion of being attacked to the audience. The man finally enters the room and questions the girl as to why she is wearing a mask and holding a knife which suggests the doll was never alive, but his daughter has psychological problems. A mid-shot is used for the last scene to show the mentally challenged girl is actually pretending to be the doll. As the whole sequence of scenes are filled with tension, suspense and horror the pace of shots cut quickly from one to another to mimic the pulse rate of the viewer as they are filled with suspense for the girl's status. It also builds more drama.
In conclusion, the beginning and the middle of the short film had medium paced cuts as the audience needed lengthy scenes to understand how the plot will develop and when it did (when it got intense) the pace of the cuts moved quicker to build adrenaline. Low key light was mainly used to build tension as it make scenes look gloomy and scary. Throughout the production the sound of rain and lightning played to make it seem realistic however towards the end non-digetic dramatic music played to build even more tension. The narrative was non-realistic and linear as the film was not relatable for real life but had a start. middle and end.
Is the edit of continuously alternating two or more scenes that often take
place together but in different locations. It is used to create tension as it
shows multiple points of views and can create dramatic irony when the
characters in the production are unaware of an even/plot unfolding beneath they’re
eyes. This technique gained notice from Edwin S. Porter in the film, The Great
Train Robbery (1903). Porter only introduced the concept of parallel editing;
allowing future directors to build on the technique. D.W Griffith developed the
technique to develop suspense, he did this in the film, The Lonedale Operator
(1911).
Cross Cutting Is similar to parallel editing, however, this technique allows the director to cut between different sets of action that can occur simultaneously or at different times. It is largely used to build suspense. and establish continuity. The purpose of using both edits is that it creates motivation for the production as the cuts allow the audience to believe something intense, dramatic or highly interesting will take place. Moreover, it has a storytelling effects as the two unique scenes engage the audience as they wonder what will eventually happen in the production. .
A mainstream film technique where one character is shown looking at another character, and the other character is shown looking back at the first character. As the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the audience will assume that the characters are looking at each other. Shot/ Reverse shot establish continuity as it shows a conservation between two or more people to make it more realistic. D.W Griffith discovered Shot/ Reverse shot and other techniques through Continuity. As Shot/ reverse shot is a form of Continuity, this mean it should not violate the 180 degree rule.
Transitions
Transition cuts are used when we film a shot or a scene we use transitions to cut out and cut in different transitions such as cut in and cut out. The was in which these were gradually developed was from George Melies as in his films he used jump cuts and transitions to create a sense of atmosphere or the viewers. there are also shot dissolves for example in the film psycho which was directed by Hitchcock in the shower scene were we see the victim get ruthlessly murdered we see the plug hole and it uses a dissolve transition and cuts to her eye. this shows us she's dying as the plug hole shows darkness. So the transition technique was used mainly by Alfred Hitchcock were he used two transition types in his film Psycho.
Jump cuts
Jump cuts play a huge part in the editing we do today and it was discovered by accident George Melies was filming a bus but since he is only able to record 10 minuets of footage he had to just keep filming but his camera jammed and the bus was now a car as he fixed it. But as Melies was a live performer he used this to his advantage and then used the jump cut as some what of an allusion this made the audience very entertained as they have not yet seen film in this sort of manner from this point forward all over film pioneers used the jump cut for the sort of realistic events as we see in modern films today.
Motivated cut
Motivated cuts or also known as Motivated editing is when a scene in the film cuts to an another scene that was not in the frame at previous scenes of films but this is done quickly for the audience because they could think that the use of continuity editing has been broken. This is usually used in narrative terms in movies for example: flashbacks where this technique is used to create tension of what is going to happen next in the film but the pioneer that came up with this technique was again D.W Griffith as he was discovering other techniques which are associated with Continuity editing. Also the purpose of this technique is to show what happening in the next scene that was not in the frame in the previous scene of a movie. In this music video it follows the drum like so it looks like it is running smooth and fits in well with the montage sequence.
Metric editing
Metric editing also known as editing to the beat is a form of montage editing created by the soviets. It is a technique that often follows the beat in music videos or sets a pace for films. Eye-match
An eye-line match is simply an editing technique which falls under continuity editing. It involves one shot of the character's gaze and the next shot has to be the object the character is looking at. This technique was discovered by D.W Griffiths who is the 'father' of continuity editing. Point-of-view Point of View shot - This is a technique where it will show the scene from the characters point of view, so you can see the events from their perspective, allowing the audience to feel involved in the film because they can see it as if they are there.
Seamless Editing:
Seamless editing or also known as invisible editing is when the cuts matches with the action. This means that there is no editing involved at all just cuts in between shots so it matches the action of what is happening in the film in a certain scene and continues to have the flow without breaking or ruining it but this certain technique was used by D.W Griffith.
180 Degree Rule:
180 degree rule is an technique that show the relationship between two characters in an film as well as keeping them on screen. This type of editing technique was used by D.W Griffith (one of the film pioneers) who used this through trial and error as he was discovering different techniques while making films in the 1900's.
In this scene, the director has used depth of field to focus on the main character meanwhile making the background slightly blurred to show that the location is not as relevant as the subject. Moreover, low key lighting is used to not give away too much of what will take place. It perfectly has an element of suspense to link to the Thriller genre. Subtle music plays at the beginning because nothing has taken place yet.
In the next shot a mid-shot is used to show the main character in more detail, moreover he is now seen starring at something with not so much emotion upon his face. This is interesting for the audience as they receive the thought that a situation will now take place.
In this long shot a strange man is shown walking oddly towards the main character starring at him. The long shot allows the subject and the area in which the subject is in to be seen. This helps to create a feeling of unease for audience as they would feel uncomfortable to be in the situation of the normal male character. It would be scary for a strange man to walk towards you in the late hours of the night. Dark lighting is used for this scene to not reveal too much of the strange man which will build anticipation for audience to know what he looks like, what he's doing and what his intentions are.
Next, the normal male character turns to his side and walks another way to avoid the strange male
character, the camera follows the male (this technique is called panning). While doing this, the camera is shot in a over the shoulder camera shot to not reveal the face of the strange male character.
The males face is still not revealed to continue the element of suspicion. During, the sequences that having taken place so far include dark and gloominess to represent evil, which may take place soon within the plot.
In this scene the male is shown creeping towards the male causing great discomfort for the normal
male character - at about this time eerie, electrifying music plays to allow the audience to understand how strange and awful the situation is at about this time.
Depth of field and a close-up is used to show the audience the true feelings of the normal male at about this time as he is feeling vulnerable and scared as the weird 'smiling man' creeps towards.
Also, the background is not important at the moment which is why it's blurred.
The smiling man turns away from the normal man and begins to walk away from him. The normal man exhales a deep breath of relief and walks the opposite way from the smiling man. However, just as he turns away the smiling man turns back around and races towards him as if he is going to attack him. This triggers even more intense, electrifying music to play to make the audiences adrenaline beat as they wonder why the smiling man is behaving so strangely and what he will do to the normal man. This results in the next camera shot being recorded in a hand camera (shaky effect) to make the scene seem terrifying and realistic at the same time. This allows the audience to place themselves in the normals mans position.
In this final screen shot it shows the normal male panting as he stops in the middle of a road as he is out of breath and believes he's escaped the smiling man. However, he's wrong as when he lifts his head the smiling man is right beside of him. A close-up is used to show the smiling mans crazy facial expression. Moreover, the normal is slightly blurred as he's no longer important because the smiling man's face is only now revealed furthermore it could suggest that he is not important as he will die at the hands of the smiling man. Lastly, terrifying loud music ends the production to symbolise that the normal man is in a bad situation and may be in danger.
In conclusion to this analysis, i believe the director has manipulated sounds and music to create dramatic effect to the plot as the production begins with melancholy music, which then ends in wild-electrifying music as the plot gets tense. Natural street lighting is used to make the plot seem realistic however each scene is dark to emphasise the terror within the plot. It has a linear narrative as the scenes are all in order to clearly show the simple plot. The sounds are non-digetic as editors have allowed only the audience to hear the sounds set in place to create effect. The narrative of this production is a single drama as there will not be a continuation of this production. Moreover, contunity is shown as the sequence of shots flow without any unorderly timed cut-shots which make the production seem realistic. The pace of cuts are quick throughout the production to build drama as to what is happening.
This shot is a close-up of a half-naked lady being handcuffed by a dominant figure. Perhaps this suggests she is dangerous which most Thrillers include (danger) to keep the audience's anticipation of 'what will happen?' to grow.
This 2-shot is presented to show the intimacy between the two characters. This may show the close relationship the two-characters have. Moreover, both characters are in bathing suits which suggests that they will partake in aquatic-activity.
Low angle shot is used to show the character is powerful and dominant. This shows that the character in this scene will lead this performance/take action to do something interesting in this scene.
High angle shot is used to show the character is inferior or vulnerable. The female character in this shot is seen holding her breath under water. She seems to be at high risk of danger if she is short of breath and does not return to the surface in time, which could result in her suffocating. The lighting in this scene is quite dull and gloomy which is associated with 'badness and death'. Perhaps this shows that she may die on account of what she is doing in the scene.
It is revealed in this shot that the male character has placed a cement block on top of the female character which is important to the plot of the short film as it could reveal that the duo are stunt performers or just daredevils. This creates an eerie effect for the viewers as they are unsure if she will be able to pull of the stunt.
The male stares at the female performing the stunt as he wait for her to succeed the risky act. A close-up is used to show his anticipation for her success. Continuity is shown throughout the production as each cut shot links to next shot/scene to show that the production
A close-up is used in this scene to show the characters emotion as the female seems as if she is in an intense state. The character is now in danger as she is drowning in a bath. The lighting of this sign is very blue-ish to create an effect as if she is sinking in a ocean with no chance of survival - this allows the audience to believe there is no hope for her. During this scene the editor(s) cuts to the shot from her being seen drowning in the ocean-like-bath to a black screen repeatedly. This reveals that her life is flashing before her eyes before she dies, this allow the audience to know that she was also surprised at the fact that she couldn't pull off the stunt.
At about this time, the male looks at his watch to see how long it is taking her to perform the stunt. However, the editor has made this scene go in slow motion as the male may still believe there is time for the female to successfully perform and survive the stunt. The director of this production has made the decision to shoot a level shot in the next scene to make the audience feel as if we are in the same situation as the male character in this scene. At this point of the production the male character has placed a heavy cement block on top of the female character in a bath filled with water, I believe he was timing her to see how long it will take her to uplift the block and return to the surface for air. However, she fails to do so and drowns which shocks the male character, leading him to drop his watch. Perhaps this could show that the timing of what the female character's stunt was deadly - but the dropping of the watch now gives the audience info and a feel that the watch is irrelevant as the female character has drowned. This may also allow the audience to feel the same displeasure the male character is feeling at about this time.
In this scene a close-up is aimed at the concrete being lifted off the female character in the bath tub who has by now drowned to death. This scene is important as the concrete is the key factor of her death.
A low angle shot is taken in this scene as the male character lifts the female character out of the bath tub and places her on the floor. This makes him seem like a hero. However, the shade of lighting on his body is dark which may suggest he is bad; as he could of saved the female by removing the concrete of her body as soon as he saw her suffocating below the water.
The male character begins to resuscitate the female before it's 'too late'. A close-up is used to show his desperation for her survival. It allows the audience to know that she is important to him.
Another close-up is used for this shot as the female is seen conscience and the director wanted the audience to see her grand facial expression as she realizes she has in fact died. She lies on the floor as a ghostly figure and stares at her lifeless body. In this final screenshot the close relationship between the two characters is shown once again in the 2-shot angle as the man comforts the dead lady. Moreover, this is also a tilt shot as the situation is unfortunate it creates and unpleasant feeling for the viewers to clearly visualize what has just taken place. In conclusion to the film analysis, the main lighting effects used in this production are natural room lighting so that the viewers feel that the plot is realistic. Furthermore, as the female suffocates, a slow motion edit is added to the scenes to create a tension for the audience as it causes them to speculate if she will survive or not. The pace of cuts start of at a medium pace as everything is fine for a very short while in the film, however, the pace then slows down as the woman struggles to return to the surface for air. This creates a dramatic effect as it allows the audience to feel what the male character is feeling; anxious and worried for here stunt performance. However, the pace swiftly speeds up as the female begins to drown as it shows everything is happening so fast in her perspective also to show that death is approaching her quickly. Continuity is shown as each scene links to the next scene correctly time-wise. The narrative is linear and non-realistic as each scene is in a correct start to middle to end, order and it was not based of a true story or realistic as the lady was shown at the end of the short film as a ghost. The proudction is a single drama as the plot will end in the this short film with no conituation. Lastly, there are not many special noises in this production as they wanted the plot to be very realistic. However, an eerie tune is released when the lady begins to suffocate meanwhile the splashes of water drown out quietly. Continuity is shown as each scene links to the next scene correctly time-wise.
Reverse shot:
is the angle set-up behind a subject meanwhile they have conversation with
another subject (it’s similar to an over the shoulder shot).
ECU: an
extreme close up is drastically zooms in on a subject’s body part or scenery –
this is usually used to enlighten the importance of something in the scene.
CU: close-ups
are used to attract the audience attention of a subject’s action or an
important object or scenery.
LS: long shots
are used so that the audience can view the location that a scene is taking
place in clearly.
MS: a mid-shot
is shot taken at a mid-distance. It shows not too much or too little of a
scene/subject. (Usually a basic coverage shot).
Over the
shoulder shot: this camera set-up is placed behind the shoulder of a subject-
it’s usually used for an audience to view something through a subject’s perspective.
It allows the audience to feel more emotion and realism to the production.4
Panning:
panning is the horizontal camera movement on film to create a realistic moving
effect for the audience. https://youtu.be/eBL6vu9NQtw
Tilt shot: is
the slightly rotated camera angle to create an eerie-dramatic effect.
Single Camera Production Advantages & Disadvantages
Using a single camera for a production
records a single scene at one angle - unless the camera is set to zoom in or
out. Using a single camera is usually used for films and pre-recorded TV-shows
(without a live audience) which are beneficial to the director of the
production as it allows them to spend more time and focus to a scene. Moreover, using
a single camera for a production records a single scene at one angle - unless
the camera is set to zoom in or out. Using a single camera is usually used for
films and pre-recorded TV-shows (without a live audience) which are beneficial
to the director of the production as it allows them to spend more time and
focus to a scene. Moreover, the production does not have to set in
a orderly sequence, making it helpful for whatever scenes to be recorded when
the time is appropriate. Using a single camera is also cheaper than having to
purchase/rent several cameras to record a production which is helpful for small
budget productions.
In contrast to these advantages, there is a
disadvantage when using a single camera for a production which is, the fact
that you can only shoot some scenes one angle at a time which will result in a
much lengthier time period in the editing room trying too much up the scenes in
a well-synced sequence.Single cameras are also used for serials, series and films with genres such as: Dramas, Thrillers, Horrors, Soap
Operas, Comedies, Romances.
This is because those several genres focus on the characters emotions, feelings and situations meanwhile trying to connect to their audience meanwhile making the production seem relatable or realistic. This can be captured by using many coverage shots such as close-ups, long-shots, mid-shots, etc. Morover, those production formats are not live and can be shot several times to make a great visual and/or audience effect.
Multi Camera Production Advantages & Disadvantages
Multi camera productions record different
angles of a production at one time. This sort of camera set-up is usually aimed
for live audience productions such as TV-shows, chat shows, etc. This is so
that the audience can view different expressions, reactions and actions of the
host, guest or talents at the time they are watching the live show. If a live
production was recorded with only one camera it couldn’t possible film and show
the audience different aspects of the show that need to be seen. Having multi
cameras to record a scene make it faster to shoot footage and easier to edit as
the footage was taken at the same time as the other cameras – it will be quite
effortless to place the scenes correctly in order.
The disadvantage of multi camera productions
is that the director will have less control of the shots that will be taken for
scene as he/she can’t stand behind several cameras at one time. Also, it is
difficult to hide several cameras in a scene, as opposed to using a single
camera – a director or cameraman moves around to film one scene without having
to hide a camera. Genres such as: Live audience TV-shows, chat
shows, interviews, news, (sometimes) action, documentaries all used multi cameras. This is because they cannot re-shoot a scene as some production are shot in real life events that can only be recorded once, but need to be recorded at different angle to make the production seem much more interesting.
Advantages in cinematography-Framing is
the placement and composition of a subject or object in scene. This can be
helpful to unfold a plot.-Depth
of field is when the camera or recorder focuses on a main subject which is
clearly scene in front of scenery, whereas the unimportant background is
blurred. This is helpful as it allow the camera to capture the great importance
of scene.-Rule of thirds
is a guideline of an even amount of alignments to compose a picture in a place
that fits the scene or subject. This is beneficial as it can get an accurate
and defining imagery for a production
Advantages
in obtaining audience attention with a large variety of shotsUsing many
shots may attract the attention of the audience as they have a clear imagery of
what is going on in a scene and how it is set out. This eliminates them having
to imagine or guess what actual vision for the production is.
Advantages
of coverage shotsHaving several
camera coverage shots in a Drama or Suspense production is essential as it
allows the audience to maintain interest as to what will happen next.
Advantages
of having a small crew with a limited amount of crewThe
advantages of having a small crew is that we didn’t have to pay for transport as
we all had a free oyster card to travel to the locations where we was going to
shoot the footage (webisode). Moreover, having a small crew to direct and
operate is easier to having a large crew that may be restless and noisy.
Lastly, you can share the limited amount of equipment and plan ahead for a
great shoot.
Advantage
of controlling lightingThe
advantage of controlling lighting is that you can perfect the right tone of
light expose for your genre of webisode. For example, if you were creating a
horror, you would set out for a dark-lighting area.
Advantages
of having multiple takes on scenesRe-taking scenes
can benefit the production, as you try to perfect the scene that suits best for
the production.
Advantages
of beginning with a master shotThe audience
will have a clear imagery of setting, where the plot is taking place.
Disadvantages
of too much footage with lots of edit to doThe
disadvantages of this is that you will have to stick to a deadline in the
professional business of Media to finished a solid footage of work and make all
the cuts sync properly without the footage looking strange.
Disadvantages
of having to plan a storyboard carefully The disadvantage of spending a large amount of
time on a storyboard is that is sets back the actual shooting for the
production which could delay profit or even violate a deadline for recording to
take at a certain location.
