Insert (filmmaking)

Film

An insert in the film is an informative text overlay or an intermediate track within a movie, most of which support the understanding of the act or makes the film so only understandable. This is not to be confused with the credits, because inserts are used for additional information, for example with respect to place, time, historical context, or the like. So you are usually a necessary part of the action and the drama.

An example of the usual use of inserts, for example, the prologue text of gladiator who educates the audience about the circumstances in the middle of the 2nd century. Inserts are also common information that provide evidence of how much time has passed between two scenes. In the film 28 Days Later this insert is also the same for film title statement.

A misleading exception on the information content in this case represents, for example, the film Psycho, are displayed at the beginning for the further course quite irrelevant data (day of week, time of day, time).

It is fair to subtitles that come even in the original language to use call ( for example, when a foreign language or a fantasy language speaks in a movie an action-relevant person) at least as an insert close.

The term insert is not used exclusively in feature films, but also eg for sub picture in sports.

Video editing

During editing and post-processing of video material insert denotes a einfügenden cut - in contrast to Assemble, is added in the additional material to the existing.

Sound equipment

In the sound of the insert is a special socket to connect an external effects device in the signal path, usually of dynamics processors such as compressors and gates. Also EQ is " inserted ".

Engineering

When insert is called in engineering, especially in hybrid structures in combination with fiber composites, usually a metallic component, which captures the main function of the force to the fiber composite. Since a is a direct connection of a fiber composite element usually can not make justice to the flow of forces, metal inserts are used for example in waves that transmit torque through positive engagement in a gewicklte structure. If such an element exhausted to the exterior of a structure, it is called a Outsert. However, the operation is analogous to the insert. Similar elements can be found, for example, for injection molded parts in vehicle manufacturing, where nuts or other connection elements are introduced.
