When a scene immediately cuts to another

Fade out

The image fades into black

Dissolve

The image fades out while another fades in (form of expressionism)

Wipe

One image kicks another horizontally off the screen

Iris Shot

The image on the screen goes black, but through a form of a spiral

Jump cut

(Introduced in the French New Wave) the image gets a time laspe to another scene (ex: anotino being intervewed by the shrink)

Intercutting

scenes are rapidly alternated between, giving the impression that events are happening simultaneously

Montage

Sequence of short pieces of film that acts as a passage of time (Rocky running through the city)

Macguffin

The premise of the plot, but it is utterly nonsense because it has no signficance impact to the plot of the movie

Brechtiamism

a style that intreputs another scene to comment on it (a night of a shooting stars: where we could hear the thoughts of the people at the watering hole)

Realism

An attempt to replicate the real-world setting

Expressionism

distortion to make a point (the coformist, the teachers lounge: blouse scene)

Surrealism

replicates the look, feeling, and narrative in a dream

absurdism

A style that is bitter, sardonic laugh in the face of irrationality (fires on the plain)

Poetic Realism

realism that has been enhanced with another style, usually expressionism or surrealism (I Vitteloni, Hope and Glory)

High and low shots

a high shot that distorts a person or thing to make it look small and vise versa for a low shot

Canter angle

The image is tipped onto the side (the conformist)

Exaggerated use of shadow

a lot of shadow used

Black and White

film uses the contrast of black & white

Super imposition

Moment of dissolve, one image ontop of another

Italian Neo-realism

period of italian movies after the second war in italy (biylce theives), which captures the economic and social structures of a difficult time period

Golden age

(French New Wave) —> 1930s (Grand Illusion) French film came out of the studio, seen Paris & the countryside

Cinema de Pepa

French New Wave (1940-50s) Films went back into the studio b/c of the occupation of the Nazis (Forbidden games)

French New Wave

End of the 1950s, until the 70s. The movie came back outside the studio, directors were very literate (typically critics), these films were more jazzy and an exciting return to Jump cuts. They were also inlove with Paris (The 400 Blows, Cleo 5 to 7, Band of Outsiders)
