Most films use continuity editing to seamlessly move the story along and immerse audiences in the plot and characters. The purpose of editing in drama is often to create identification with characters, establish conflict, and intensify drama. Editing works to create meaning through juxtaposing different shots and employs techniques like cuts, jump cuts, cross-cuts, cutaways, and reaction shots. There are also transitional effects like fades, dissolves, and wipes that can be used between shots for different dramatic purposes. Editing is concerned with creating meaning rather than just removing material.
