Editing

There are man y different types of editing within cinema and films this is to add effects on filming and make the film have more of a meaning and also makes it more interesting.

• Continuity/ Hollywood editing: The viewer should not notice the cuts, shots should flow together naturally. Hence the sequence of shot should appear to be continuous.
• Montage - Soviet: This style of editing has two functions. The highly political soviet style of the 1920's which sought ti create a new meaning out of seemingly in-connected shots. The audience are very aware of the cut.
• Hollywood Montage: In classical Hollywood cinema, a "montage sequence" is a short segment in a film which narrative information is presented in a condensed fashion.
• Transitions: A transition is a term of how the editor moves from one "shot" to another. An inappropriate transition can destroy the mood or pace of the film.
• Crosscutting - parallel editing: Editing that alternates shots of two or more lines of actions occurring in different places, usually simultaneously.
• Dissolve: A transition between two shots during which the first image gradually disappears while the second image gradually appears.
• Wipe: A transition between shots in which a line passes across the screen, eliminating the first shot as it goes and replacing it with the next one. A very dynamic and noticeable transition.
• Action Editing: Faster and more snappy shots

With these editing affects i can produce ideas for video projects which will get me more marks. And also i found it interesting.
