Following The Action

Following the action is a directing practice which catches every one of the movements a character makes when he/she moves from location to location.

There will typically be more than one camera shooting the action in the different locations.

This furnishes the editor with a scope of footage to make choices from when the entire sequence is being assembled.

Following the action (CONT’D)

During the editing stage, the editor will switch between camera angles relying upon what the subject is doing and what scope the director and editor choose best advances the narrative.

This impact of shifting distances and angles, instead of adhering to one shot all the way through, creates shape, texture and profundity to the scene.

The editor utilizes action matches to safeguard continuity, making cuts undetectable, and the audience gets a multi-faceted point of view on occasions which draws in them in action.

In this sequence, quick cuts were used to make the scene intense and CGI to manipulate the views in some scenes in the sequence. There is a wide range of cuts utilized in this sequence, however, the variety of cuts used didn’t lose its touch with the smooth flow that carried throughout the entire sequence. 2:20 into the sequence the view shows of the expansive structure and demonstrates an extraordinary pan of the encompassing area, even though cuts are vital in an action sequence, angles is what that gives definition to the subject’s action and stirs up the excitement or intensity within the viewers in that particular scene. 2:28 into the clip, an eye level angle used when he looks back at Bond; this shows that they both are on the same level and that they are neutral. Neither of them have power over each other. An aerial shot is used at 2:16, it demonstrates an angle higher than the crane; giving a good perspective of what is going on and where they are. Even though an excessive amount of cuts is being used, the clip doesn’t show that, instead it gives the sequence a very flawless finish. Sound is very important in any film genres, and during this clip synchronous sound is evident and, and the non-diegetic sound fits perfectly in the sequence as they ran; and somehow using non-diegetic sound made the scene very realistic. At 0:26, diegetic sound is used when Bond crashes into the shed; this gave the scene a very realist and natural outlook.
