Post II - Continuity Editing

As I am the factual research director in the other subjects (ok at least one of them), I started to research on the FACTS on effects and consequences when using different drugs or any substances. Since I am thinking about selecting some important ones to show within the short film.

I have almost no idea on those festival drugs so the research will be not easy but interesting. Good to learn stuff everyday!

In regards of the editing, I'm thinking about using fade-in and fad-out to combine the information and the interviews together. I think fade is a very important and useful technique of film editing.

''A fade-out is a gradual transformation of an image to black; whereas a fade-in is the opposite. A dissolve is a simultaneous overlapping transition from one shot to another that does not involve an instantaneous cut or change in brightness. Both forms of transition (fade and dissolve) create an ambiguous measure of ellipsis that may constitute diagetic (narrative) days, months, years or even centuries. Through the use of the dissolve or the fade, one may allude to the relative duration of ellipses where the dissolve sustains a visual link but the fade to black does not. It cannot be argued that one constitutes short ellipsis and the other long however, as this negates the very functional ambiguity created by such transitions. Ambiguity is removed through the use of captions and intertitles such as "three weeks later" if desired.''
