This movie exemplifies continuity editing because there is a smooth, clear passage of time with the shots occurring and it's logical, the brain can follow the story line. This is different from a montage or jump cuts because time has passed between shots, whereas those types of editing add meaning in a different way. Cross cutting is used here to create anticipation and to make a climax. Also, Charlie has a funny mustache.
Okay, thanks for defining Cache! For the next people who reply, try to talk about examples of Cache's observations that the shots are "logical, the brain can follow the story line." Also, how does this "add meaning in a different way?"
Throughout the story the continuity editing provides the build up for the Tramp and the woman immigrant to meet and marry, which I believe was a custom of early film. Although the actress attempts to break free from the forced marriage suggest a nod to breaking away from standards of the time and the oncoming of the 20's.
I believe you're right Weasel. There is a buildup of that story -- in fact, for awhile, the Tramp and the woman's story run parallel. The editing (i.e.: eyeline and object matches) help those two stories come together.
In this movie, Charlie Chaplin uses camera tricks effect how the viewer experiences the story. The constant swaying of the camera angle to give the illusion that the viewer is moving on the boat with the actors would have created a stronger impact. This special effect is something that would not have been able to be done in a live performance.
Notably, too, it was very difficult to do in filmed performance at the time, too. The cameras were so large, they could not move them, so they had to move the set. We'll see more of this in Citizen Kane.
In this clip, Charlie moves the camera and his body to create an effect that you're actually moving with him. When they are rolling along the floor and the camera is moving along in the same direction, it creates an effect as those the camera itself was the force moving the room. With the continuity editing, they really make the scene more dramatic.
He does move his body quite a bit. The camera doesn't move at all. What's really amazing is that they had to move the set to create some of those effects.
This movie is a good example of continuity editing because even though there are separate shots, they are smooth. It is easy for the brain to connect the story without over thinking which is phenominal editing way beyond its time. Although this is a "comedy", I found it a bit meloncholy. Charlie is funny though and we have the same birthday!! :)
This video exemplifies “Continuity Editing” because they have similar color of scene and background music in different scene. They also change the background but the story is continued. Moreover, Charlie shows up every scene. It is also one of the reasons that this video shows “Continuity Editing.”
In the clip shown up above , The director in this silent film wants you to follow and understand the setting , the people , and his main characters. I think Continuity Editing doesn't just stem from smooth shots or a change in background but gives you the viewer a sense of emotion. 9 times out of 10 the director cuts to shot of Charlie showing his face and we making the choice in our minds whether we should feel sympathy or feel nothing for his character thats my two cents.
In the movie, it exemplifies continuity editing because you are able to understand what is happening in the movie without the sounds because of the way they edited the scenes and put the movie together. I wasn't confused what was going on and thought it made sense throughout it. In each scene you can see the different emotions and how he feels.
I completely agree with this. You can see a good example of this about to minutes into the film. It last just before the 4 minute mark where he is eating and shows much admiration for the woman he saw walk in, leading to him giving her his seat. The selection that played at that scene fit the part in the sequence well.
The most common continuity editing tool noticed in this short film is that of match cutting. The action of the primary character in the film was followed up by new actions of the additional characters. Each new action after the film cut told a silent story. Both the direct & comedic message was told simply through the constant cut on action shots. As a dabbling script/screen writer myself I found viewing this film through the a increased lens very
This film shows much continuity editing throughout the film. It gives off a smooth perspective with the shots. The shots then create a sense of depth with emotions shown. I don't find this to be a comedy, but maybe I just lot my sense of humor.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great person to share your birthday with! Try to look a little closer at what makes that smoothness.

ReplyDeleteTrue. Notably, too, it's all on the boat. We are aware of two stories going on, but we also know they will combine.
