Another good example is the bathroom fight in Mission Impossible Fallout. They cut to show each hit landing twice but only play the audio once. Therefore it creates that feeling of the hits actually having an impact
I learned from Every Frame A Painting that Jackie Chan would use repeat cuts on strong hits to make them register better and appear more powerful, or to widen the shot and show the aftermath of the hit.
My personal favorite repeat cut is in Avatar: the last air bender in Aang and Ozai's final battle. Happens after Aang grabs Ozai's goatee while in the Avatar state, deflects his fire blast by simply slapping his hand away then blasts him with air bending. Repeat cut happens hear with this cool air bending technique Aang does being repeated from different shots and perspectives so you get to see it again and again but differently each time; glorious little detail from a masterpiece of a show🙌 Thanks studiobinder for making go back and revist that epic moment in the show again
So good! My favorite cut is a repeat cut from Taxi Driver... Travis is all kitted up admiring himself in the mirror with his arms crossed while reading out loud from his journal. He's rotating as if standing on a lazy-susan. He misspeaks and repeats the line so the visual repeats with his second attempt. When I first experienced that cut, I had the feeling of "finally.' I didn't know I wanted to see something like that, but I loved it immediately. I wonder if the end scene in the story from Twilight Zone: the Movie with the little boy who is all powerful is kind of a repeat cut. It's the same shots overlapping but different takes. Love.
Jackie Chan and Hong Kong cinema uses that a lot. Go watch a fight scene of Jackie Chan and you will notice that hits are repeat cuts. It makes the hits feel more, better.
That repeat cut in Goodfellas while Henry was cooking is such a perfect example of how to use repeat cuts. It helps to add great emphasis to the moment, needing to make the run, but waiting for the helicopter to disappear, busy cooking, but consistently looking for the right time to do the run. It's subtle and simple but so effective.
Yup. Even Jackie Chan described and demonstrated the necessity (YES, THE NECESSITY) of doing non-contiguous editing. In other words, you "show the hit thrice", usually from different angles. It's one of the best ways to not only give the moment more impact, but to make certain the audience doesn't miss the precise action(s) involved. One of the best usages of it I've ever seen was with JCVD in "Lionheart" (excellent film, btw; his BEST in my opinion). Pool fight scene. You will know it as soon as you see it. Once you see it, you'll never forget it. 💪😎✌️
Studio Binder please do a video about : how to terrifying the audience like movies : Shining - Misery - Halloween - Get Out … So, the perfect horror movie.
Inspired by the repeat cut, the Tamil film industry based in Chennai (then Madras), India, used a variation of this effect at the point of impact for a punch/slap, a close up of a firing gun barrel or an expression of shock but not with different angles.The exact shot of action or expression of shock was repeated for a minimum of 3 times. The use was mostly in either comedy films or potboiler commercial movies. It went on to be adapted by the rest of the major film industries in India en masse through the 70s. This effect came to be known as 'the madras cut' amongst DPs, editors and directors. I got to know of it only anecdotally through a professor at my film school and when I mentioned it in the future, almost all the veteran professionals seemed to know exactly what it meant.
Great video. The kick from Ferris Bueller always looked like it was supposed to be 3 quick kicks to me, like what Chun Li might do in the Streetfighter II video game, and so not a repeat cut after all.
I personally like the half second - second and a half long overlap cut. It's the best of both worlds; you get to enhance a moment by seeing another angle but it's seamless enough to not be distractingly novel
I always thought it was just a way to show something from different angles so we can all pick the best bit, just like something in slow mo. Now we can rewind and rewatch stuff ourselves
@@StudioBinderYes, I've studied that the "overlapping editing" is when the same action is not merely repeated from the same POV, but when it is shown, repeated, by different angles. It's considered a particular variant of "jump cut".
Throughout the 80's, 90's, and 2000's, the repeat cut, especially a triple repeat, has been a signature hallmark of Japanese Anime, to give the viewer an extra couple of seconds to absorb the magnitude of the action that just occurred.
Gonna have to review this one again! But a good lesson. But is this more for the editing room or is more planned out during the script writing or storyboarding phase? When is it considered and then executed. For explosions, I know that has to be planned in advanced as to get the cameras and explosions all set. But as for characters, is that decided at the beginning or editing phase. In most storytelling would it be necessary? Thanks for the lesson STUDIOBINDER!!!
Can't say exactly when these decisions were made. You're right about the explosion/action film examples. As we saw, the American Beauty example was intentional because they shot with different frame rates. The Holy Grail example was clearly intended during shooting as well. But that's the beauty of it - it can be a pleasant surprise in editing whether you intended it during shooting or not.
For repeat cut - Medium, CU, ECU, do they shoot every shot separately(with different lenses) to edit or would they just zoom the same shot for CU n ECU? If they zoom it in edit, pixels get broken and it'll affect the quality right? Is that ok for quality to be reduced in those shots? Is there any proper way or can we do it in both ways as pee wish?
@@StudioBinderHello! Not the person you asked but if I may be so bold to chime in... As a horror fan I'd love a video about creating dread. Dread, I think, is the key component in horror. With a lot of horror people talk about scary but there's lots of scary moments in movies that aren't horror. I'd really love to see a deep dive into this idea.
The repeated cut in "the conversation" has to be my favourite, when they're in his work place, and the woman is seducing him, the repeated cut syncs so well with the score. It's as if you, the audience, are being hypnotized/seduced by the scene, which really works with the limited perspective of the film, all seen through the eyes of the protagonist
Excellent example. There's also an excellent one in "Lionheart" (JCVD's best film, in my opinion). Pool fight scene. Once ya see it, ya never forget it. 💪😎✌️
Sometimes you see stuff in movies and series but you don't appreciate them until you know their function. This really happens a lot in movies the last time I remember seeing it was in a connon scene from a docudrama series named rise of empires: Mehmet vs vlad they used the repeat cut there.
Reminds me of Ep 3 of Arcane using the same technique of the Death Proof crash scene when Powder's Monkey bomb explodes with each repeat cut revealing those on the receiving end of the bombs' impact
Please make the analysis of Iranian directors, such as Samira Makhbalbaf, Abbas Kiarostami, Jafar Panahi, or Asghar Farhadi, etc. Their films are so much fun and have such an extraordinary characteristic.
I wouldn’t count on StudioBinder ever touching Iranian cinema. I love them but they only really go as far as the 1920’s in world cinema. But everything else they talk about is American / British. Even when talking about horror a while back they chose to only talk about The Grudge and The Ring American versions 😂 it’s kinda weird. But you just have to take what they teach and apply it to broader cinema yourself. I would suggest Cinema Cartography which has an almost exclusive approach to analysing world cinema
Sir my biggest mistake and i confused while making short films is taking decision about when i use side dolly and arc dolly while conversation between each other or something please explain me my feature is in your hand
I think you have things a bit wrong. Pretty sure the kick in Ferris Bueller Day Off was meant to be three quick kicks, in succession, as to show it was a frantic, quick reaction to the situation. Unless you know something the director or editor has discussed. Maybe we'll never know. I took it as three quick kicks and not one kick shown three times. Cuts don't have to be showing repeats. They can be normal time sequences also, as maybe cuts are.
Indian film editors tend to appreciate this "repeat cut" technique more. I didn't know what to call it. I would just call it "slow motion," but now I realize there is more to it.
Could you guys recommend me some movies about suicide or suicidal ideation for my thesis? I've watched a dozen already and can't find movies that actually artistically visualise the mental state of the characters
@StudioBinder it was interesting 🤔 I'll say that. As a filmmaker, I questioned why the editor and director chose that style of cutting. Maybe you can find out for us. Thanks!
The editing happens after principle photography is finished, meaning the editor can only have a finite amount of footage to work with. So I would think the director should also be the editor? Or at least, the editor should be on the set working side by side with the director, telling the director to shoot a scene in a way that will make it possible for the editor to edit the film the way they want to? 3 people should always be on the set during the shoot, the writer, the director, and the editor.
Mel Gibson used it in Passion of the Christ (Jesus lifting his head while on the cross to emphasize the suffering). Gibson did get a bit over-the-top with the gimmicks in that film though (e.g., the slo-mo/speed-ups of the night arrest scene in the Garden of Gethsemane).
My reality has been shattered. I always thought the kick at the end of Ferris Bueller were 3 rapid fire kicks, but now I see they all are single kicks... ok let me try to fix my reality- Cinemastix did a video 2 months ago where they explained Ferris Bueller was basically formed in the edit room- so it's possible they meant for it to be seen as three rapid kicks, right? Right?

You're right. In fact, in Bollywood, they use it regularly.
It also gives your eyes more time to readjust to the new frame, making sure that when the hit lands you are looking right at it.
Tony Zhou pointed that out for me
Exactly! Yet another good reason to use them.
