TYPES OF EDITING By Charles Clatworthy
EDITING the stage in the film-making process in which sound and images are organised into an overall narrative
Continuity Editing
Continuity Editing – the most common type of editing, !
which aims to create a sense of reality and time moving forward. !
Also nick named invisible editing referring to how the technique does not draw attention to the editing process!

Cross Cutting
the editing technique of alternating, interweaving, or interspersing one narrative action (scene, sequence or event) with another – usually in different locations or places, thus combining the two: this editing technique usually suggests Parallel action (that takes place simultaneously). Often used to dramatically build tension and/or suspense in chase scenes or to compare two different scenes. Also known as inter- cutting or parallel editing!

MATCH ON ACTION
A shot that emphasises continuity of space and time by matching the
action of the preceding shot with the continuation of the action. (For example a shot of a door opening after a shot of a close up of a character’s hand turning a door handle)!

A film technique where one character is shown looking at another character, and then the other character is shown looking back. Usually during a conversation scene.

180 DEGREE RULE
The camera stays on one side of the axis of action throughout a scene, not breaking an invisible line. When shooting a scene, the camera must not cross over the line.
