Revision: Editing

Now is time to revise from last year the types of editing.
Editing is used to construct representations by contrasting characters or settings, creating links between characters, showing the audience what the character is looking at or what is thinking about.

Types of editing:


Cutting
The process where one shot is replaced on screen inmediatly by the next



Shot/reverse shot
Cutting back and forth between people in a conversation



Eyeline match
Cutting to show what a character is looking at.



Graphic match

A similar shape or colour linking two consecutive shots



Action match
Cutting to show another angle of the scene



Jump cut
Cutting out the middle section of a shot



Crosscutting

Cutting back and forth between two or more scenes happening simultaneously



Dissolve

One shot fades out as the next shot fades in



Slow motion
Time appears to be slowed down



Long take

A single continuous shot that does not cut for an unusual length of time
