Task eleven: Creating pace with cross cutting

Creating pace with cross cutting



Cross cutting in drama is a technique similar to film editing, where two scenes are intercut to make continuity. When acting  two or more scenes are performed on stage at the same time. This is used when the director wants to show a scene where something is happening now, and a shot of something happening in the past. In the old days they would use a spot light to show the part of the stage or scene, and highlight it until it has finished, and then go back to the original actors who are in the 'now'. These days, the 'second' actors, are frozen in space until the time for them to take over, and then they stand still again. In the clip that myself and the group done is an example of creating pace with cross cutting. The clip is about a girl having to choose who she wants to be with but it causes a major argument between two guys, The actors was Myself, Emmanual and jake. The director was stevan and the camera operator was Cieron.
