Editing is the process of organizing film shots into a narrative sequence. Films are typically not shot in chronological order, so editing is necessary to piece the story back together. There are various editing techniques like continuity, montage, shot-reverse-shot, and transitions that can be used to clearly convey space, time, and meaning to the audience. Effective editing ensures the narrative is coherent and engages the viewer in the intended way.
Film Language: Editing explanation examples and worksheets. Ian Moreno-Melgar
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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2. Editing is the way we organise a narrative in a film.
Films are not shot chronologically, they are shot out of order
and require editing to piece the narrative back together.
Like other micro features it can lend meaning to the narrative,
as well as characters and setting.
WHAT IS EDITING?
WHY DO IT?
4. Ensures the narrative of the film is continuous and unbroken.
This preserves the narrative of the film and gives the
impression of the narrative moving forwards in real time.
This might involve some flashbacks but for the most part the
narrative will continue on in the way an audience expects.
CONTINUITY
5. 3 elements are important when it comes to continuity editing.
Space
Time
Rhythm
These 3 elements are vital to a film being understood by an
audience, and can easily confuse them if done incorrectly.
CONTINUITY
6. The organisation of the shots can give the audience an idea of
space, both geographically and within a room.
What type of shot would we normally start a scene with?
Why?
ELS or WS/LS – These allow our setting and location to be
seen by our audience so they are aware of the characters
location.
SPACE
7. We can also use an editing technique called eye line matching
to create an idea of space in a room.
This can help an audience understand where characters are in
a room, in relation to other characters.
We also use the 180˚ rule to achieve this. Both of these are
explained in the video below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27KCpefUMxU
SPACE
8. The editor also controls the organisation of time in the film.
This is used to compress time and allow a day/month/year
worth of narrative be compressed into 2 hours.
This can also create different types of narrative either being
linear or non-linear.
Can you think of any examples of a linear or non-linear
narrative?
TIME
9. This can create pace, expectation and meaning for an
audience.
Leaving a beat at the end of a shot can add cinematic quality
and can give a sense of closure to a scene.
A fast rhythm and lots of edits can create a fast paced scene.
Can you think of an example?
A slow rhythm and few edits can create a slow paced scene.
Can you think of an example?
RHYTHM
10. What is a montage?
The original montage comes from Battleship Potemkin.
What kind of effect does this editing style have on an
audience?
MONTAGE
11.
12. Montage can also be used to show a passage of time.

Can you think of any other examples of montage editing?
MONTAGE
13. Match on Action
Shot-Reverse-Shot
Cut Away’s
Cross Cutting/Parallel Cutting
Graphic Matching
(Eye Line Matching + 180˚ rule are also editing
techniques)
EDITING TECHNIQUES
14. This creates a visual bridge for an audience and can mask a
cut.
A match on action essentially seamlessly continues the action
from the previous shot.
You can see an example of this in the clip below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKS2d6TyiWo
MATCH ON ACTION
15. This is a very common editing practice and is usually used in
dialogue sequences.
This is usually combined with the 180˚ rule and eye line
matching to give the audience a sense of space.
Why else would we use a SRS in a scene?
What effect does the SRS have in this scene?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0xiCIMIwLY
SHOT-REVERSE-SHOT
16. This is useful for engaging the audience and speeding up
action.
This technique literally ‘cuts away’ from the action on screen
to something else in the scene that is relevant.
For example, if a character rises from a desk and leaves the
room, rather than having the camera track their movement we
can cut away to the reaction of the other people in the room.
We can then cut back to watch the character leave.
CUT AWAY’S
17. This is another way to stretch the passage of time.
Using this technique we can cut between one event and
another and creating a sense of simultaneous action, and in
some cases dramatic irony.
How is cross cutting used in this scene?
(INSERT LSaTSB ENDING)
CROSS CUTTING/PARALLEL CUTTING
18. This is used to compliment the rhythm of a scene can be used
to mask, or in some cases draw attention to a cut.
This creates a graphic connection between two images.
This can be used through straight cuts, for example showing a
series of slamming doors, but it can also be created through a
dissolve.
How is it used in the following scene? What effect does this
have on the audience?
(INSERT A-N helicopter scene)
GRAPHIC MATCHING
29. This can be used to wipe from one scene to the next.
It looks a bit old fashioned now, but it was used a lot in Star
Wars to indicate a change from world to world.
WIPE
31. This can be used to create a double image.
It can be used in conjunction with Graphic Matching to link 2
shots together and create further meaning for an audience.
DISSOLVE
