We were given a the task of doing a story board of a short ten minute film with the stimulus of the title: terror in the night. The point of the task was to get us to know how to use editing with narrative to create meaning. In my story board we used editing between scenes such as a jump which has the effect of suggesting to the audience something scary or shocking is going to happen next. Another example is using a dissolve effect which give a softer effect of a hard cut so that it doesn't shock the audience too much. We also used a wipe which gives a smooth effect and allows the audience to see the next scene slowly.
Look to apply the narrative theories and what you learn when you start the film from different points in the narrative displayed above. How is meaning affected?
