THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLASSICAL CUTTING IN “BICARA” FILM TO CONSTRUCT THE DRAMATIC IMPACT

Abstract

The technique of continuity editing, part of the classic Hollywood style, was developed by early European and American directors, in particular, D.W. Griffith in his films such as The Birth of a Nation (1916). In general, classic cuts are used to convey dramatic intent by using close-ups to show character expression. Hitchcock builds tension so that it cuts shots from close-ups to extreme close-ups. Close-up views increase the tension around the discovery problem. (Dancyger, 2011) Using the theory from it Hitchcock builds tension thereby cutting the shot from close-up to extreme close-up.
