Non-Continuity Editing
Non continuity editing is another style of editing yet it means that your videos will not be how they are meant to be, this style of editing has been around since the 1950s and the 1960s which made it very popular. Film makers such as Jean Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut pushed the limits of editing techniques and created something called the French New Wave. This is where films were used to create a carefree editing style in which it did not conform the normal way of editing, also known as Hollywood editing. This then meant that it drew a lot of attention and made the audience think a lot more than they normally do to a film, as well as seeing it in a different way. This is known as self-reflexive nature. In this time non-continuity editing became very active.
This meant that a few people took this on board, a French director known as Jean Luc Godard created a film called A Bout De Souffle where a specific scene involved a jump cut, this was when the mirror changed, a change in the background and the change of the lighting. This was used because Godard wanted to startle the audience in order to gain attention to a specific part. You would then have to think why was this used? Well this editing technique was used because when editing first came around everyone was using the same editing technique, so in order to spice things up a little bit Godard added a jump cut in order to get the audience thinking about the film.
Next was a film called The Shining who was created by Stanley Kubrick who broke the 180 degree. This was when a character's position has been switched around because of the camera angle being changed. But not only do the old films include this, modern day films still do this type of stuff. An example of this would be The Hunger Games, this was used to show how Katniss feels about her new environment. He decided to break the rule and use this technique in order to show the audience how she felt about her new living environment. As you can see in the two pictures below, it shows a camera and the character at one angle, it then shows the camera angle at the opposite side with the character on the right hand side rather than the left.
