Editing Research
Hello world!! Today I'm going to go into editing research to gain a background of different editing styles and techniques to improve my magazine's pictures and photographs.
Cut
A transition where one shot is instantly followed by another.
Continuity Editing
Visual editing where shots are cut together in a clear and linear flow of uninterrupted action. This type of cutting seeks to maintain a continuous sense of time and space.
Continuity Error
When the action or elements of a scene don’t match across shots. For example, when a character breaks a glass window but in a later shot, the window is shown undamaged.
Cross-Cutting
Technique used to give the illusion that two storylines of action are happening at the same time by rapidly cutting back and forth between them.
Cutaway
The interruption of a continuously filmed action with a shot that’s peripherally related to the principal action.
When the end of one shot overlaps the start of the next one to create a gradual scene transition.
Editing
The process of taking raw footage to select and combine shots to create a complete motion picture.
Establishing Shot
A shot that gives viewers an idea of where the scene is taking place. These usually involve a shot from a long distance, such as a bird’s eye view.
Eyeline Match
A technique based on the idea that viewers want to see what on-screen characters are seeing. For example, if a character is looking intently at an off-screen object, the following shot will be of that object.
Fade
A visual effect used to indicate a change in place and time. This involves a gradual brightening as a shot opens or a gradual darkening as the shot goes black or to another color. Sound also fades in and out to convey the change.
