L03 - Editing

 Editing involves changing or improving a video or photo this could be removing parts or adding parts as well as special effects or sound effects with the goal of improving the subject you are editing. Furthermore editing is adding transitions, cutting and organising footage to create a narrative.

Editing Terms:

  • cutting
  • eyeliner match
  • shot reverse 
  • shot structures

Continuity Editing:

Most films use this type of editing - It is editing that is continuous in creating a narrative for the audience to understand. It appears to be invisible by using cuts.

S shot reverse shot structure
A action match
C cross cutting
I insert shot
E eye-line match

Action match:

Action matches happen in action scenes,
it is 1 continuous action/movement over multiple shots. This connotes the characters power and skill. 

Shot reverse shot structure:

CUT from one shot to another and back again. we see this when there is a conversation between two characters

Practise sentence:

In the shot reverse shot structure we see both a high angle and low angle both displayed as over the shoulder shots. the high angle connotes the powerlessness and weakness of the other character compare to the low angle which connotes the power and importance of the other character.

Crosscutting:

cutting from one location to another
"meanwhile"

Insert Shot:

Focuses on a significant prop/iconography
Emphasises importance of the prop/iconography

Eye-line match:

when we see a character look of screen at something we can't see and then cuts to what they are looking at. Maybe a clue they have worked out.
