"Editing Effect " [Photographic Story Telling #3] [Community Contribution Set Of Poems]
A famous clip was made in early days
Of film – an actor looking down unfazed –
Quite neutral was expression on his face
Three copies made – through “edits” made the case –For power of the editing itself –
No shifts in subtle acting there to help
The viewers know the feelings deep within –
Same shot, three copies made – to “Oscar” win.They shot three objects “Place to be for eyes”
So viewers knew, the cut-aways disguised
By camera angle, what he thought about;
“What subtle acting that – without a doubt!”One-shot, and open casket with a corpse –
A time of last farewells was shown of course;
A second shot of toddler looking up –
A happy scene – unlike a grief that’s tough.I don’t recall the third, but here’s the point –
In “editing-effect” a scene anoints
With “Echo” of whatever’s added in,
Or place beside the first – so actor wins.So place a portrait in a bombed out home;
Or in a mother’s hand, whose daughter’s roamed;
Or happy in a wedding-album’s set –
Same picture, yet three photos you now get.Thanks Lord for this.
