The document provides a grid for listing and explaining different types of edits that can be used in filmmaking. It gives an example of a cut as the most common form of edit, likening its effect to refocusing after blinking. The grid is meant to be filled out with pictorial examples and explanations for each type of edit listed, including wipes, fades, cross fades, dissolves, jump cuts, freeze frames, changes in motion like slow motion and fast motion, shot/reverse shot editing, bridging shots, cutaways, juxtaposition, and montages.
