good points which i'd forgotten. when you are editing film there is no intrinsic point at which it *has* be cut (yes rules of continuity but they are not rules of grammar, all films remain understandable if they cross the line, break continuity etc), and also cutting doesn't 'break' the shot. A 30 second close up of gun is still a close up of gun if it is 10 seconds. (this makes them very different to words.) this is one aspect of film's granularity, which blogs have appropriated (my remark that hyperrtext is cinema's revenge on word). you link from a part to another part (shorten shot A and link to a shortened Shot B) and it creates new meanings. link from blog post (part of post) to blog post. NOT blog to blog. it is parts to parts. etc etc. (all this is old hat for hypertext, blogs, etc. the only novelty if that is seeing that these relations have always been present in cinema). -- cheers Adrian Miles this email is bloggable [ ] ask first [ ] private [x] hypertext.RMIT <URL:http://hypertext.rmit.edu.au/admin/briefEmail.html > ------------------------ Yahoo!
