Film History : The Cut
David Bordwell has released a great article on a number of cuts he thinks are worthy of acknowledgement. He has deliberately left out the superb Eisenstein’s, Ozu’s, and Hitchcock’s cuts are they were deemed too obvious.
What’s most remarkable in the above footage is that the long-shot of the pistol being flung into the room is even briefer than these closer views—only seven frames long, or less than half a second at 16fps. As a nice touch, the close-up of the pistol landing in the corner is twice that (15 frames).
If you are anyway interested in developing your film making then you definitely to not only checkout this article but you also need to subscribe to David’s RSS feed. Read the full article here.
