EDITING TECHNIQUES:

Hello! In this class of the week, me and my class, are researching about "Editing techniques" of camera work. Im going to be showing you different types of these, in this post:

Cutting: the process where one shot is replaced on screen immediately by the next.

Shot / reverse shot: Cutting back and forth between people in an conversation.










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

Graphic match: Cutting to show another angle of the scene.

Action match: Cutting to show another angle of the scene.
















There are more different types of editing:

Jump cut: Cutting out the middle section of a shot.

Crosscutting: Cutting back and forth between two or more scenes happening simultaneously.

Slow motion: What it says. Moving or proceeding at a strikingly slow rate.

Dissolve: One shot fades out as the next shot fades in.

Fade put/ fade in: The image fades out to a blank screen, or fades in from a blank screen.

Superimposition: One image is placed on top of another image.

Long take:  A single continuous shot that does not cut for an unusual length of time. (e.g. over a minute)


Fast paced / slow paced editing: When the editing is fast paced the action will cut rapidly from shot to shot with each shot lasting only a few seconds. Slow paced editing will involve limited cutting from shot to shot.
