Editing Techniques

Editing Techniques

The purpose of editing:

1. Determinate the speed at which events move along
2. Give or Withhold information
3. Determine your feeling for events and characters
4. The illusion of unity

Cutting: the work of selecting and joining together shots to create a finished film

Principals cutting techniques

1. Standard cut
2. Jump cut
3. Montage
4. Cross dissolve
5. Wipe
6. J or L cut
7. Cutting on Action
8. Match cut
9. Smash cut
10. Invisible cut

Shot/Reverse shot: is a staple of editing in dialogue sequences. Conventionally, it utilizes the 180 degree rule, the eye line match, and rule of change among others.

Crosscuting: cutting back and forth quickly between two or more lines of action, indicating they are happening simultaneously

Fade in/Fade out: a filmmaking and broadcasting technique whereby an image is made to disappear gradually.

Superimposition: when you put especially a picture, words, etc. on top of something else, especially another picture, words, etc.., so that what is in the lower position can still be seen, heard, etc.

Slow motion: when film or television pictures are shown in slow motion, they are shown much more slowly than normal.

Eyeline match: a cut  obeying the axis of action principle, in which the fist shot shows a person off in one direction and the second shows a nearby space containing what he or she sees. If the person looks left, the following shot should imply that the looker is offscreen right.

Camera Shots

Camera Shot

A camera shot is the amount of space that is seen in one shot or frame. Camera shots are used to demostrate different aspects of a film`s setting.

Extreme wide shot: the view is so far from the subject that s/he isn`t even visible. The point of this shot is to show the subject`s surroundings

Very wide shot: shows the subject from top to bottom; for a person, this would  be head to toes, though not necessarily filling the frame.

Wide shot: a video or film recording made with the camera positioned to observe the most action in the performance.

Mid shot: a shot taken at a medium distance.

Medium close up: half way between a close up and a mid shot.

Close up: a certain feature or part of the subject takes up the whole frame.

Extreme close up: shows extreme details.

Cut-In: shows some part of the subject in detail.

Cutaway: is the interruption of a continuosly filmed action by inserting a view of something else. It is usually, although not always, followed by a cut back to the first shot, when the cutaway avoids a jump cut.

Two-Shot: a comfortable shot of two persons, framed similarly to a mid shot.

Over-The-Shoulder-Shot: used when shooting conversation between two people, speaker´s full face is shown while camera is aimed over the shoulder of the listener.

Point-of-view-Shot: shows what a character or group of characters is seeing.

Nobody shot: usually refers to a shot  of the interviewer listening and reacting to the subject, although noddies can be used in drama and other situations.

Weather shot: the subject is the weather, usually the sky. Can be used for other purposes.
