http://www.tcf.ua.edu/EO/DV/Sopranos.php

Group 1

Group 3

  1. Match cut
    • Match-on-action
    • Eyeline match
  2. Jump cut

Group 4

  1. 180° rule
    • Screen direction
    • How/when might this rule be broken in a TV program?

Decoupage exercise

  • Do a sample decoupage--as explained on pp. 212-214--of shots 33-44 from this Chevrolet commercial.
    • Each student should start by drawing an overhead view similar to Figure 7.7.
    • As a group, answer the following decoupage questions from the textbook:
    1. How is the scene’s space, the area in which the action takes place, introduced to the viewer? Does an establishing shot occur at the start of the scene (or later in it)?
    2. Skip.
    3. Do these angles adhere to the 180° rule? Is screen direction maintained? If not, why is the viewer not disoriented? Or if the space is ambiguous, what narrative purpose does that serve?
    4. Skip.
    5. Is an alternating editing pattern used? Is shot-reverse shot used?
    6. How does the camera relate to the character’s perspective? Are there point-of-view or subjective shots? If so, how are those shots cued or marked? That is, what tells us that they are subjective or point-ofview shots?
    7. Is match-on-action used? Are there jump cuts?
    8. How does the last shot of the scene bring it to a conclusion?
    9. Skip.
