#REFERENTIAL MONTAGE DEFINITION SERIES#

Bipolar recording from two electrodes placed closely together would not work all that well, because most of the activity of interest is cancelled out as the signal difference between the electrodes is very small. Now imagine you are interested in the gross electrical behaviour of a large part of the brain. This type of recording, in which you expect brain activity to be picked up by both members of a pair of electrodes, is called bipolar recording both electrodes activily register activity and they can both be used as reference for the other. The only thing that remains is highly specific activity that reaches one electrode in a different way than it reaches the other, for instance something happening immediately below only one of the electrodes. Most brain activity reaching the electrodes will be picked up more or less equally by both electrodes the potential difference between the electrodes will therefore be close to zero. Imagine you record the potential difference between two electrodes you have placed immediately next to each other on the scalp. However, not every difference is equally interesting. In principle, you can record a potential difference between any pair of electrodes: you measure the electric potential registered by one electrode in reference to the electric potential registered by another electrode. The EEG is an electric potential difference and to measure a 'difference' we need at least two electrodes. An example for a secondary heading: PREGNANCY TESTĪn on-screen text display is called SUPER(IMPOSE) in script-code.An EEG signal is an electric potential difference Thereby it is enough to list the object in the secondary heading. An example for a secondary heading: FLASHBACK – CLUB 82005)Īn insert is a detailed close-up of a plot relevant object. TUNNEL – NIGHT (FLASHBACK SEQUENCE)Ī simple flash, flashback or flashforward constitutes only a short moment, e.g. WOODS – DAY (DREAM SEQUENCE)Ī flashback sequence or flashforward sequence stretches over several scenes.Īn example for a scene heading: INTERNAL. An example for a scene heading: EXTERNAL. A change of scenery is announced by INTERCUT WITHand is followed by the respective secondary heading.Ī dream sequence stretches over several scenes. The scene starts with a scene heading listing all locations and possibly encompassing a scene description. A typical example of an intercut-scene is a telephone conversation.

A SERIES OF SHOTS are single shots without any dialogue and are numbered with capital letters.Īn intercut of a scene is marked in a script whereby it isn’t declared how it is to be executed.For every other crosscut secondary headings are used in the course of parallel montage. When there is a frequent transition between two scenes each scene is cited only the first time.When parallel montage switches between entire scenes the scene transition is announced by a CROSS CUT WITHand is followed by a new scene.The alternating storylines happen simultaneously, but they may also take place on different time levels, so that parallel montage can create an impression of concurrency. The crossing / intertwining of two or more storylines is a dramatic composition tool that can be realized through the help of parallel montage. An example of a secondary heading: MONTAGE – BERLIN The single settings are listed separated by dashes as their order is not chronologically set. Unlike a montage sequence with a narrative character a montage is just a short impressionist mood or location description. AIRPORT / HOTEL / TAXI – DAY/NIGHT (MONTAGE SEQUENCE) Should the montage sequence stretch over several day times then time details are summarized as DAY/NIGHT or just left out. When a montage sequence encompasses several locations then these are listed in the scene heading separated by a slash (/). It may also be used for time compression / summary of events, as scene transition or to make clear that a certain action is repeated several times. For the duration of the music insert a series of mainly dialogue-free atmospheric bit-scenes are strung together. A montage sequence is usually used in combination with music.
