Power Of Cut, FPS, and Exposure

  CUT:

Cut can be used for conveying messages.

Russian theorist Kuleshov spoke of it, hence it is also known as the Kuleshov theory, or the Russian Montage Theory. Power of cut can show emotions. Power of cut can show contrast (juxtaposing). It should just not go against diegesis (internal film logic)

ELLIPSES IN EDITING:

Ellipses shorten up the time of the narrative. This can be done via various techniques.

1. Jump Cut
2. Clock turning fast 
3. Fade out/fade in/dip to black
4. Time lapse (such as sunset/sunrise or seasons changing)
5. Change in face/height/physical appearance
6. Text appearing on screen/ voiceover

FPS:

Frames per second. Cinema standard is 24 FPS.

PAL (Perfection at last): 25 FPS

Europe: 30 FPS

EXPOSURE:

exposure is the amount of light per unit area reaching a frame. 

An image can be underexposed, overexposed, or at optimal exposure.

They can all be combined to get High Dynamic Range (HDR).

LOWKEY LIGHTING: exposure is manually controlled, preferably underexposed.

HIGHKEY LIGHTING: overexposed.

Pillars of Exposure: Shutter speed, ISO, Aperture.

Higher the shutter speed, lower the exposure.

Cinematic shots can be produced if shutter speed is twice the framerate.
