Sherlock Jr Rhythmic Editing

401 Words2 Pages

Rhythmic editing, usually dictated by music, describes an assembling of shots or sequences according to the rhythmic pattern. It can be a narrative, as in the movie Sherlock Jr, or a music video type collage, as in Sam Hunts Take Your Time. In both cases, music takes the center stage and dialogue is suppressed. In Sherlock Jr, there are many forms of editing which highlight the films magnificence. The use of a vaudeville tune, a type of entertainment featuring a mixture of specialty acts such as burlesque comedy song and dance, recalls Sherlock Jr to be an early cinematic comedy. By using a vaudeville tune the director of the film, Buster Keaton, guaranteed for his audience to always be laughing. Keaton also uses continuity in his film to

    When analyzing the spatial relations of The War on Drugs’ “Holding On” and Sherlock Jr., the audience can explore the continuity and discontinuity within each film that will later suggest different messages and ideas. In “Holding On”, there is a clear line between continuity and discontinuity. There are many instances that the film offers continuity between shots by utilizing the 180-degree line and eyeline match. The 180-degree line can be seen by the audience when the man in the film walks from the left to the right side of the frame when in the pasture headed toward the woods.

The beats are checkpoints for important events that screenwriter and film analyst Blake Snyder says are imperative for writing a screenplay that will both captivate and entertain it’s audience.

    While both films are considered to be the best of Buster Keaton’s body of work in the silent film genre. The General and Steamboat Bill Jr. have slight contrasts in their lighting. The cameras themselves, as well as the techniques and lighting effects, show the small gap in time between their release dates. Considering the films short span of time between the films’ respective completions, it comes as no surprise to find miniscule variance in the use of color, hard key lighting, and diffusion despite the fact the films treat the same subject.

    In this scene, lighting is used where a shot reflects on eves face to the farmer in the car on the farm showing how far they are. The scene continues where the lighting used appears too bright and somehow blinding to show the time of day the scene is taking place and the emptiness of the field and the only part left out is Thornhill thus focus is drawn to him and this launches the audience into the attack where the lighting makes it easy to know that he is alone in the barren land which makes him vulnerable and the scene captivating. The editing is utilized in the film where quick and intense scenes are made to be real fast in pace which creates suspense. Sound is also used where the music in the background moves in sync with scenes of suspense where it turns loud and fast making the audience aware of the impending danger (Pernoud, 2015).

    Parallel editing was present in the film wherein it was edited in a way that two scenes were alternating to make it appear that they were happening simultaneously (Lorber, 2010). High and low angled shots were also present, and panoramic shots as well. The editing that I liked the most was in the scene when The Machine Man was made to look like Maria. The surge of electricity in this particular scene and the orbits going up and down The Machine Man was what amazed me. It is shocking that in order for this to happen, the people responsible for editing had to film this frame by frame so imagine the hours, days, weeks or even months that were put into this particular scene.
