What is editing?
Editing refers to how shots are put together in sequence to create a media text.
Editing creates meaning
Editing guides the spectator to construct the story time out of the plot
time by emphasising order, duration and frequency.
Continuity and non continuity
Two types of editing
Continuity retains a sense of realistic chronology and genrates the feeling that time is passing.
Continuity takes drama from one shot or scene to the next
This type of narrative makes the drama narrartive progress in a realistic way.
Although a drama may use flashforwards or flashbacks within their structure, this is still described as continutiy editing because the overall sense of FORWARD is present.
Editing categories
When analysing editing you must break it down into four areas to help the quality of the analysis.
Cuts:one shot moves to the next without the audience being conscious a cut has been made.
Dissolves: can see both shots on the screen
Fades: black or white Wipes: image pushed off the screen, star
wipe
The Cut Transition
A cut transition is when one clip ends and the next one begins with no overlap or effect.
Most often used. Simplest type of transition for seamless unnoticed edits. Fast paced.
What type of production would use cut transitions?

Cut Transitions
Editing transitions (cuts) are the different ways shots are linked together in the editing process. It describes how one shot moves into the next.
Different transitions can create slightly different meanings for audiences.

Continuity Editing
Cutting shots are used to tell a story, and smooth flow from one shot to another. Charaters, lighting and action remain constant and central to the frame.
Estabilishing shot
Shot, reverse, shot& over the shoulder shot
eyeline match
match on action
long shot
180 degree rule
Graphic match
Parallel editing
Cutaway
Cut
Jump Cut A cut between two shots of the
same object, character or scene where the angle of the camera is less than 45 degrees

Parallel Editing
Editing that alternates shots of two or more lines of action occurring in different places, usually simultaneously. You would see this when you are showing parallel events

Non continuity Editing
Montage is the second type of editing
A montage contains many different images, (edited together quickly).
Do not provide a sense of narrative, but the sequence is still meaning full
There does not always have to be a obvious connection, it could represent the thoughts of a character's state of mind
Montage sequences are used to CONNOTE chaos, tension or disturbance.
Dissolve Transitions
Generally used to show the passage of time or cover an awkward shot change.
Two shots over lap for a period of time and the first shot dissolves into the second shot.
Dissolves are sometimes called fades and can be used to create a slower pace in a production.
What type of productions would use dissolve transitions?
Dissolve Example Pride & Prejudice
Fade & Dissolve
Dissolve or mix This is when two shots are on screen at the same
time, visible through each other. The first shot is faded out while the second is faded in.
Fade to black Gradual disappearance of image into black
screen
Fade in (of pictures) Gradual appearance of the image.
Wipe
Effect transitions include pushes, page peels, spirals, barn doors and any and all other imaginable effects.
Cuts and dissolves should be used almost exclusively as effect transitions can have the unwanted effect of drawing attention to the transition rather than the shot.
Haphazardly using effect transitions is not recommended as they distract and can take away from the meaning of the shots and visual flow.
If you choose to use an effect transition it should enhance or contribute in a definable way to the storyline or visual meaning of the production.

Up to you
You must spend time research and reading your revision guide and revise the terminology.
It is impossible for me to cover every single aspect and you will need to do some leg work.
