There are three main areas where students struggle when learning to edit montages: Most of Incubate was filmed MOS, meaning no production audio. Having no production sound means that editors will need to advance the story based on the visual story of the chase scene and will not have the sound as a crutch. The chase scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a perfect example of parallel action, sometimes known as cross cutting. In the official version of the Incubate commercial (shown below) the chase scene in is very short, but as a classroom exercise the raw footage provides a wealth of opportunity for parallel action. Parallel action means two scenes happening simultaneously in the movie's timeline but in different locations. By adding one cut away to Doctor Evil the editor, Debra Neil-Fisher was able to add a third meaning that Austin was trying to turn his golf cart around for a long time. One example I showed the students at Maui Waena Intermediate School was from the film Austin Powers. In class we broaden the idea of the Kuleshov effect to include intercutting scenes, as opposed to two shots. The implied meaning is the emotional effect that juxtaposing two shots creates. Kuleshov Effect: Any two shots together will give you a third meaning called the implied meaning. How can this be? The reason human beings can be manipulated by editing at all is because of the Kuleshov effect. When teaching how to edit montages show the class this simple math problem 1 + 1 = 3. Parallel action should be considered a fundamental skill. However, it is an important one to teach since most films have at least one instance of intercut scenes. Telling a story with a montage and parallel action is among the toughest skills to acquire when learning to edit. Just as one of the zombie women catches him, she get a message from her grandmother, recorded thirty years in the past. This commercial is for a real app that lets you leave messages for people up to thirty years into the future.Ībout Incubate Footage: Incubate features a scene where a group of zombie women chase a man who has the last bottle of water on earth.
