Montage editing uses disjointed shots pieced together out of sequence, requiring the audience to make assumptions about what occurred between shots. This creates an active audience that must interpret the narrative. Continuity editing shows a direct sequence of events with no gaps, providing full context and leaving nothing for the audience to infer. This creates a passive audience that simply absorbs the explicit information. The key difference is that montage editing relies on symbolic associations between shots, while continuity editing relies on displaying the physical actions directly to maintain a straightforward narrative.

La población mundial ha crecido exponencialmente en los últimos siglos, pasando de unos cientos de millones a principios del siglo XIX a más de 7,000 millones en la actualidad. A pesar del aumento constante, la tasa de crecimiento de la población mundial ha disminuido desde su punto máximo en la década de 1960, y se espera que continúe disminuyendo a medida que más países experimentan la transición demográfica hacia sociedades con tasas de fertilidad más bajas.
Editing
Continuity editing aims to make cuts between shots flow naturally and go unnoticed by the viewer. It involves matching shots so the action flows seamlessly. Montage editing assembles different cuts to convey an impression or topic, either by juxtaposing unrelated shots to create new meaning ("Soviet" style) or presenting narrative information concisely ("Hollywood" style). Cross-cutting, or parallel editing, alternates between two simultaneous actions to build tension without slowing the pace. Transitions like dissolves and wipes are used to smoothly flow between shots and set the mood, while jump cuts draw attention by appearing disjointed.
Editing
Editing techniques are used to craft meaning and move the story forward in a fluid manner. Editing focuses on pace and continuity to keep audiences immersed and sympathetic to characters. Different techniques like match cuts, jump cuts, and cross cuts are used to transition between scenes and indicate the passage of time. The juxtaposition of shots through cutting creates meaning and allows the audience to have reactions. There are many standard editing techniques that editors use purposefully to tell the story and convey meaning or emotion through visuals.
FYP presentation
The document summarizes a student's final year project presentation on visual illusions and how people's perceptions can be manipulated by what they see. The project aims to show users that their interpretations of images can change depending on viewing distance or perspective. It involves projecting video onto a mannequin that will appear to change from a woman to a man, demonstrating how makeup can transform appearances. Users will trigger the video by walking towards the mannequin, and an audio message will play afterward to further explain the concept that what you see is not always what you get.
Film Editing
This document discusses various film editing techniques:
- Continuity editing cuts between shots smoothly to maintain a continuous narrative flow.
- Montage editing assembles shots quickly to summarize information or depict the passage of time.
- Cross cutting alternates between different shots of simultaneous action to depict multiple storylines.
- Dissolves gradually transition between shots to imply the passage of time.
- Wipes noticeably replace one shot with another across the screen, usually for action or adventure films.
- Action editing uses rapid cuts between shots to emphasize fast-paced action scenes through hundreds of shots.

Editing
Editing is traditionally focused on continuity to immerse the audience in the story. The purpose of editing in drama includes identification, conflict, and intensification to make the action seem fluid. Editing pace and techniques like juxtaposition, cuts, matches, and cross-cuts are used to convey meaning and develop the narrative through tempo, emotion, tension, and reactions. Proper editing also considers match on action, jump cuts, cut aways, and transitions to seamlessly guide the audience through the story.
Editing
Editing is traditionally focused on continuity to fully immerse the audience in the story. The purpose of editing includes identification, conflict, and intensification to make the action seem fluid. Editing pace and techniques like juxtaposition, cuts, matches, and cross-cuts are used to convey meaning and develop the narrative through visual contrasts and transitions between shots at the same or different times. Proper editing hides the construction process to seamlessly move the story forward.
Montage editing
Montage editing involves juxtaposing short shots to represent ideas through techniques like repetition, rhythm, and metaphor. Pioneered by Soviet filmmakers in the 1920s-1930s like Eisenstein, montage aims to disorient the viewer through non-linear cutting in contrast to continuity editing. When constructing a montage, editors should vary shot durations, employ techniques like freeze frames or speed adjustments, use multiple visual layers, and ensure sound design supports the montage structure rather than following a strict beat. Montage aims to add shots rather than subtract them through disorienting and symbolic associations between images.

This document discusses key concepts in media aesthetics including how visual and auditory cues can influence perception of images and sounds. It describes several aesthetic techniques like lighting, color, framing, editing, and sound design that can shape viewer impressions and direct attention. These techniques are demonstrated through examples of how changing background music or adding a laugh track can transform a scene's mood, and how intentional use of shadows and lighting can clarify what is happening without dialogue. The document also examines space, time, and motion as fundamental aspects of media that aim to mimic real-life experiences.

A long and detailed look at what editing is in Film and how it helps to not only present a story to the audience but how it functions on a technical level. The presentation is broadly split into two areas: Pace and Transitions. Each section contains a definition, a range of examples (many of which are gifs and videos which obviously won't play on here) and some activities for students to engage with.
Editing
The document discusses various editing techniques used in filmmaking. Continuity editing aims to make cuts between shots invisible so the order flows naturally, while montage in Soviet films of the 1920s made cuts noticeable to convey new meanings from unrelated shots. Transitions like dissolves and wipes are used to move between shots without disrupting pace or mood, with wipes being more obvious and dynamic. Cross-cutting and parallel editing alternate between shots of different storylines that are happening simultaneously. Proper action editing is essential for action films to maintain their sense of action.
Editing media
The document discusses various editing techniques used in filmmaking. The continuity editing system is the most common and aims to make cuts invisible, while the non-continuity system prioritizes other goals over narrative and can confuse viewers. Shot reverse shot is used in conversations to show both characters, while match cuts link similar objects or continue actions across shots. Other techniques include cross-cutting between locations, parallel editing, cutaways, inserts, and transitions like dissolves and wipes.

This document discusses various techniques used in film editing. It begins by explaining that most films use continuity editing to seamlessly move the story along and immerse viewers. Common goals of editing in drama include character identification, showing conflict, and intensifying scenes. The document then discusses editing pace and how slow cuts can suggest emotion while fast cuts imply tension. It provides examples of specific editing techniques like match cuts, jump cuts, cross-cuts, cutaways, and reaction shots. Transitional effects like fades, dissolves, and wipes are also explained. The document concludes by briefly mentioning montages, slow motion, long takes, and split screens.
Audience And Editing
There are two main theories of audiences - active and passive. An active audience interprets media messages individually through montage editing, while a passive audience absorbs everything without selection like a sponge through continuity editing. Montage editing uses short shots edited together to advance the narrative, sometimes with music to enhance the mood. The Kuleshov effect showed that editing can create different meanings from the same facial expressions. Audience theories range from seeing viewers as passive receivers affected by media to semi-active models where opinion leaders influence others or individuals choose media to fulfill needs.

There are two main theories of audiences - active and passive. An active audience interprets media messages through montage editing and brings their own meanings. A passive audience absorbs media like a sponge without selection, depicted through continuity editing. Montage editing uses short shots edited together to advance the narrative and suggest passage of time. The Kuleshov effect showed that identical facial expressions can take on different meanings depending on the shots they are edited with. Different audience theories range from seeing viewers as passive receivers to semi-active opinion leaders to active gratification seekers.

The document discusses editing techniques for making cuts appear invisible. It explains that cutting "on action" during motion within a clip produces a smooth edit, as the motion flows between shots. It also discusses maintaining the focal point, such as a person's eyes, when cutting between shots to guide the viewer's attention. Finally, it explains that editors use "beats" to measure time between cuts, ensuring objects have time to move naturally between shots and keeping the narrative clear for the viewer.
