Editing in film is a process of cutting and assembling film footage to produce a finished product.
Transition
The process of cutting from one shot to another usually involving a simple straight cut.
Different types of transitions available in film include:
- faed to black
- dissolve
- wipe
Shot duration
The duration of a shot will usually reflect the narrative context.
Continuity Editing
It appears invisible and the images flow continuously or in a continuous fashion, in order to make the editing look more like camera work.
Main Functions of Editing
- To connect actions together to tell a story
- To identify and maintain spatial relationships
- Identify important lapses in time; conceal unimportant ones
- Maintain a rhythm and pace (e.g action films --> fast cuts, drama --> slow cuts)
