MONTAGE EDITING

Montage editing is a style that deals with sots

assembled by the means of dissolves, fades and jump

cuts.

SHOT REVERSE SHOT

Two shots are edited together that alternate

characters, typically used in a conversation. Also it

will not always be filmed in the correct order but will

be edited afterwards to flow together.

MATCH ON ACTION

A cut between two shots that places two different

framings of the same action next to each other,

making it seem to continue uninterrupted.

TRANSITIONS

A transition is a method or process of joining a

certain amount of scenes from a shot. There are 8

main transitions used in editing but typically fade,

dissolve and cuts are the most used.

FADE, DISSOLVE AND CUT.

Fade is a transition that occurs when a shot gradually fades

to create a single colour, normally black or white. In films

this is created by a change in the exposure, which is known

as a fade in/fade out transition.

Dissolve is a transition that occurs when a shot gradually

moves from one image to another.

Cut is a transition that happens abruptly from one shot to

the next.
