Hart's interrogation scenes in "Hart's War")Flash forward moving from the present to a future event and then returning to the present (ex. the precogs' visions in "Minority Report")direct cut fast, immediate cut from one scene to anotherfade in (transition) when a shot opens/begins with a black screenfade out (transition) when the end of a shot ends with/ darkens to ablack screendissolve (transition) briefly superimposes the end of shot A and the beginning of shot Bsuperimposition placing one shot over another, most often used to create atransitionwipe shot B replaces shot A by means of a boundary line moving across the screen (ex. often used in "Star Wars")Running time the actual length of the film in minutesPsychological time how long the movie FELT like it lastedHart's War (Temporal Design)Hollywood montage used for the interrogation scene in order to shorten the elapsed time of 3 days. Creates a feeling of bad subjective personal memory, and reveals Hart's inner turmoil and fear typical of a weak-minded intelligence officer with little sense of honorAll About Eve (Temporal Design)uses shot reverse shot between Margot and Eve in order toemphasize the conversational feel of the scene. As Eve tells her story, the camera shows her face, then the listener's reactionsVictor Victoria (Temporal Design)When Victoria is being pestered by her landlord for her rent, an eyeline match shot is used. she is shown looking at something off-screen and then she screams, shot B shows a cockroach,enlightening the viewer as to why she reacted so dramatically,Cape Fear (temporal design)Used shot/reverse shot sequence when Cady meets Danielle on the school stage. This was used to highlight how Cady seduced his victimsSan Francisco (temporal design)The pace of the film was quickened during the earthquake as shots of the characters were interspersed with shots of the building breaking during the quake, used to create suspense and a sense of chaos while the quake was occurringSingin' in the Rain (temporal design)Makes use of the dissolve transition when Don was thinking about Kathy outside of the party and it was superimposed by a car pulling into the studio lot. This emphasizes Don's longing to see Kathy and carries this feeling over to the next scene.Minority Report (temporal design)Flash forwards are used throughout the film whenever we see the Precogs' visions of future murders occuring. Crosscutting is also used as we see shots of the headquarters and shots of the crime scene back and forth (same time-diferent place format) This adds a sense ofsuspense and anxiety to the scene.reciprocal relationship between time and spaceTime and space are related. Shot/reverse shot, eyeline matches, and cutaways are seamless editing techniques that make time and space look like they're linked and
