    Life of Pi

    Film editing Techniques


    About the film
    • Life of Pi is a 2012 adventure-drama film was written by David Magee
    and directed by Ang Lee based on the novel . A picture that straddles the
    fantasy and adventure genres, Life of Pi is stunningly shot. It was
    thought for years to be completely un-filmable; it is an adaptation of
    the Yann Mantel novel of the same name, which is about a young
    Indian teenager stranded on a raft with a tiger, hyena, orangutan, and
    zebra. Pi eventually found its daring director in Ang Lee, who chose to
    film in 3D and digitally. Life of Pi contains a bevy of advanced special
    effects shots, with a good deal of the movie, including co-protagonist
    Richard Parker the Tiger, generated by computers. The end effect was a
    vibrant, breathtaking visual experience that was unlike anything that
    had come before.
    Chosen Sequence
    • Chosen 10 minutes
    When Pi ask help
    from God because in
    such situation
    possibilities of life
    seems very difficult
    to him and then he
    start to search out
    the ways through he
    can survive on sea
    without food.
    Duration: 59:30 to 1:08:30
    Eyeline-Match
    • A cinematic editing technique known as "eyeline match" shows the
    audience what a character is seeing. Eyeline consistency gives the
    impression that the audience is gazing through the character's eyes.
    Here eyeline match is use to show fear in Pi’s eyes and also in Richard
    Parker’s eyes seems both are struggling for life.

    Time : 1:07:29
    Dissolve transition
    • A dissolve is a gradual editing transition that shift from
    one image to the next is called a dissolve. It
    demonstrates the progressive change from one image
    to another, with the first image starting to fade and the
    second image appearing over time. Here dissolve
    transition is use to show Pi’s struggle time to time how
    he consistently follows the rules he read in book that
    seems helpful to him to survive here.
    Time : 1:00:22
    Shot Reverse Shot
    • A shot-reverse shot begins with a view of a character,
    cuts to a shot of what or who that character is looking at
    (from the opposite angle as in the first shot), and then
    returns to the first shot to reveal the character's response.
    In this action scene shot reverse shot is use to show the
    action and reaction of Pi and Richard Parker when Pi is
    struggling for his life to save himself from Richard ‘s
    attack.
    Shot Reverse Shot

    Time : 1:03:25
    Cutting on Action
    • In cinema and video editing, the terms "cutting on action" and
    "matching on action" relate to transitions between shots that correspond
    to the action in the initial shot. Here cutting on action is use to connect
    two scenes when Pi is moving towards boat and meanwhile boat’s
    internal view is seen where Parker is watching Pi with anger and ready
    to attack on him.

    Time: 59:08 to 59:12


    Cutting on action
    180 degree Rule
    • The 180-degree rule in cinematography states the camera should
    remain on one side of a fictitious line that separates characters,
    according to the 180-degree rule in cinematography. Here face to face
    close ups of Pi and parkers are seen by using 180 degree rule to show
    both character’s position from one character’s head to other.
