The purpose of editing is to allow films to flow coherently without confusing viewers. Before editing, films were static shots but editing enables more creative storytelling. Analog editing involved physically cutting film, while digital editing is now standard via software like Premiere Pro. Continuity editing shows a logical sequence of events, while discontinuity editing may use techniques like flashbacks. Montage editing condenses many short shots to show the passage of time. Match cuts emphasize similarities between shots, and cross cuts imply simultaneous events. Jump cuts abruptly transition between scenes.

Editing techniques
This document defines and describes various film editing techniques:
1) A match cut is an edit between two shots where an object or space matches graphically to establish continuity of action.
2) Flash cutting involves very brief shot durations of less than two seconds to speed up the pacing.
3) A subliminal cut consists of only a few frames shown too quickly for conscious awareness, only subliminally perceived.
4) Cross cutting alternates between shots of simultaneous actions in different locations.
Types of editing
This document defines and describes various film editing techniques including:
- Continuity editing which uses establishing shots, the 180 degree rule, and match on action to maintain a clear narrative.
- Montage editing which uses dissolves, fades, and jump cuts to assemble shots.
- Establishing shots which set the scene.
- Shot/reverse shot which alternates between characters in conversation.
- The 180 degree rule which maintains spatial relationships between objects by not crossing the imaginary line.
- Match on action which places different shots of the same action next to each other.
- Transitions like fades and dissolves which join scenes.
- Examples from The Dark Knight Rises and Law
Editing techniques
This document defines and describes various film editing techniques:
- Crossing the axis refers to passing over an invisible line between two subjects, creating a reverse angle shot.
- A J cut or split edit is when picture and sound are synchronized but the transitions are not coincident.
- A cutaway interrupts continuous action by inserting a view of something else, usually followed by a cut back.
- Cross cutting establishes simultaneous action in two locations by cutting between the actions.

What is EDITING ? Discuss all the aspects of Editing?
The document discusses various types and techniques of editing. It begins by defining editing as manipulating written, video, audio or film content to make it more interesting, understandable or informative. It then discusses linear and non-linear editing approaches. The document also covers shot sizes, camera techniques including angles and movement, and editing techniques such as cuts, dissolves and establishing shots. It discusses the role of editors and principles of editing like maintaining screen position and using shot content to motivate cuts.
Editing techniques
An editor selects and arranges shots to convey meaning to the audience. There are four main transition types - cut, dissolve, fade, and wipe. A cut is the most common and invisible transition, while a dissolve mixes one shot out as another mixes in to show a connection. Fades signal changes in time/space. Wipes push one image offscreen to change location. Transitions should be used purposefully to advance the narrative or develop characters and ideas through continuity or montage editing styles.
Lesson 5 editing techniques

Elements of continuity editing discussed include establishing shots, shot/reverse shot patterns, the 180-degree rule, eyeline matches, match cuts, and transitions like cuts and dissolves. Examples are provided of how continuity editing directs viewer attention and uses techniques like cross-cutting to build suspense.
Media key terms editing
The document defines key terms related to editing such as continuity, pace, time, and transitions. It explains that editing is the process of organizing images and sound in post-production to construct a narrative. Various techniques like match cuts, shot reverse shot, and cross-cutting are used to achieve continuity and smooth storytelling through invisible or seamless editing.
Editing - AS Media Studies
The document discusses various elements of film editing that can be analyzed, including: order of shots, continuity, transitions, shot duration/pace and rhythm, and special effects. It explains how these technical elements help create meaning and influence what information is revealed or hidden from the characters and audience. Order of shots can reveal character perspectives and importance. Continuity editing implies spatial relationships to tell a story smoothly. Transitions can imply passage of time or location changes. Shot duration impacts pace, while special effects further manipulate scenes.
Editing for film
Editing is used to make motion pictures flow coherently between scenes and enhance visual effects. There are typically three stages of editing: rough cut, director's cut, and final cut. Editing techniques like shot reverse shot and the 180-degree rule help generate meaning and keep narratives coherent by facilitating the audience's understanding of characters' perspectives and spatial relationships. Timing, continuity, and invisible editing are important aspects of constructing suspense and maintaining realism in films.
Film Langauge Introduction to Editing
This document discusses various techniques in film editing. It begins by explaining that editing sequences shots in a way that makes sense for the audience in terms of time and space. It then describes continuity editing as the most common technique used today, which makes spatial and temporal relationships clear and progresses the narrative. Finally, it discusses other editing techniques like establishing shots, match cuts, parallel editing, and montage sequences that can manipulate time and fool the audience.
The main aspects of editing
This document outlines 5 main editing concepts in film:
1) Establishing shots are used to set the context of a scene by showing the relationship between characters and objects.
2) The 180 degree rule ensures the same space is depicted in each shot based on character and object placement.
3) Shot/reverse shot technique alternates between showing one character looking at another, often off-screen.
4) Editing transitions describe how one shot moves into the next, creating different meanings, such as fade to black or jump cuts.
5) Shot duration reflects narrative context, with short shots conveying urgency and long shots intimacy or detail.
Editing
Editing techniques include match on action cuts, overlapping edits, graphic matches, parallel edits, montage edits, jump cuts, dissolves, fades, and wipes. Match on action cuts and overlapping edits match the beginning and end of the same action across two shots for continuity. Graphic matches connect shots thematically through similar compositions. Parallel edits cut between two sequences happening simultaneously. Montage edits condense time through short shots and transitions. Jump cuts skip time within a sequence. Dissolves and fades transition smoothly between shots. Wipes move one shot across the screen to replace another.
Edit techniques
Editing is a key technical part of filmmaking that involves selecting shots and arranging them to tell a story. It transforms raw footage into a polished film. Some common editing techniques include match cuts, overlapping action, graphic matches, standard cuts, and montages. Match cuts and overlapping action smoothy transition between shots or extend the duration of an action for emphasis. Graphic matches thematically connect shots separated by time and space. Standard cuts are basic transitions while montages signify the passage of time through quick cuts, often set to music. Together, these techniques are fundamental to crafting a professional, coherent film.
Editing
Editing is the process of manipulating videos or images during post-production. Some common editing techniques include shot reverse shot, which cuts between two characters looking at each other; eye line match, which matches a character's gaze to an off-screen object or person; and graphic match, which makes cuts where the viewer's focus is similar between shots. Other techniques include action match, jump cut, crosscutting, cutaways, dissolves, fades, wipes, superimposition, slow or fast motion, and visual effects created in post-production.
Editing terms
The document defines various editing techniques used to structure narrative and control pacing in film and television. It discusses techniques like shot/reverse shot cutting between speakers in dialogue, graphic matches that transition between similar shapes on screen, and montages that compress time through a series of short shots. It also covers transitions like dissolves and crossfades, and special effects created in post-production like computer-generated imagery.
Editing
This document outlines and defines various film editing techniques. Montage editing uses frequent cuts and close-ups to make it clear footage has been edited. Continuity editing maintains a clear narrative through following rules like shot reverse shot. Discontinuity editing distorts viewers' perspective by seeming out of logical order. Match cutting suggests relationships between objects spatially.
NWR: Editing techniques : Student Collaboration
This document provides an overview of editing techniques for film. It was created by instructor Mr. Ali Haider and collaborators Afreen Sohail, Danish Ahmed, Abdullah Khan, and Toheed Ahmed. The document defines editing as assembling shots into a coherent sequence and explains that editors do more than just mechanically putting pieces together. It discusses how editing is essential for storytelling and can be used to convey emotions, tension, and pace a story appropriately. Finally, it provides definitions and examples of common editing techniques like cuts, match cuts, establishing shots, and montages.
Role of the editor
The editor works closely with the director to craft a finished film through careful editing of shots into a coherent narrative with a beginning, middle, and end. Editors assemble scenes together, oversee additional roles like music and sound editing, and work long hours, especially on big productions. Key editing techniques discussed include parallel editing, shot reverse shot, montage, and continuity editing. The document also provides examples of editing techniques from films and discusses important figures that advanced the art of film editing.
Media Language Lesson 3 - editing
This document discusses editing techniques in film, including continuity editing. It defines editing as how one scene changes to the next. Continuity editing uses techniques like the 180-degree rule, shot/reverse shot, eyeline match, and match on action to smoothly transition between shots and imply spatial relationships. Breaking continuity can create a more constructed meaning through juxtaposition. There are also different types of transitions between shots like fades, dissolves, and wipes.
WCC-Film 100 editing - LUTHER
1) Film editing is the art of assembling shots into a coherent sequence and crafting a cohesive whole from the filmed material through creative work with images, story, dialogue, music, pacing and performances.
2) Continuity editing emphasizes clear narrative logic through techniques like establishing shots, shot/reverse shot, match cuts and eyeline matching to visually show how events unfold linearly and reveal character emotions.
3) Classical continuity editing directs viewer attention through tighter framing, while techniques like the 180 degree rule and match cutting maintain scene coherence.
Continuity editing presentation
Continuity editing helps ensure a consistent and smooth flow between shots through various techniques. This includes shot reverse shot which cuts between two characters facing each other to imply a conversation, establishing shots which set the scene location at the start of a scene, and the 180 degree rule which keeps the camera on the same side of an imaginary line between subjects to maintain continuity. Matching on action cuts from a wide shot to a close-up of the same action to show it in more detail.
Continuity editing
Continuity editing refers to techniques used to create a sense of spatial and temporal coherence in films. There are two main categories - temporal continuity, which maintains a logical flow of time, and spatial continuity, which provides a clear physical narrative space. Specific techniques like match cuts, establishing shots, and eye line matches help preserve continuity and prevent disorienting the viewer. Ellipses, fades, and flashbacks can be used to convey temporal discontinuities like the passage of time.
Week 5
This document provides an overview of various film editing techniques, including:
- Montage, which combines quick cuts to convey passage of time or emotional transition.
- Parallel editing, which cuts back and forth between two scenes to create a sense of simultaneous action.
- Split screen, which shows two shots side-by-side to also create simultaneous action.
- Dissolves, which blend one shot into another to soften cuts or show passage of time.
- Overlapping action, which adds dramatic value by extending scenes through cutaways and reaction shots.
- Match cuts and visual match cuts, which link scenes through similar shapes, colors, or ideas.
- Fast motion, which compresses
180 rules and continuity editing
The 180-degree rule states that the camera should remain on the same side of an imaginary line drawn between characters during a scene to maintain spatial continuity. Breaking this rule can confuse audiences as it disorients their understanding of where characters are in relation to each other. Continuity editing aims to smoothly transition between shots through techniques like matching actions, diegetic sound, and establishing shots to logically connect scenes and prevent viewer disorientation. Common techniques include ellipses to imply breaks in time, diegetic sound to overlap shots, and matching actions to maintain temporal continuity across cuts.

Editing can manipulate time through temporal ellipsis and extension or use transitions like cuts, dissolves, and fades. Pace, inserts, cutaways, and cross-cutting influence the audience experience. Special effects include color filters and slow motion. Montage editing uses non-sequential shots. Overall, editing's goal is to tell a story through invisible techniques that immerse the audience.
Assignment
Film editing involves selecting shots from raw footage and combining them into a finished motion picture. Early developments included in-camera editing by Alfred Hitchcock and following the action with moving camera shots. The purposes of film editing include telling stories through techniques like continuity, engaging viewers, managing pace, and following genre conventions. Key editing techniques include seamless cuts, continuity, motivated shots, montages, and transitions between scenes.
Film Editing Techniques.pptx
This document discusses various film editing techniques. It defines a cut as the transition from one shot to another. Proper editing is important for telling the story and maintaining the audience's interest through varying shot sizes and angles. Basic principles include only including what is needed for the story, showing new elements with each cut, and using cutaways to hide transitions. Continuity editing follows rules like the 180-degree rule to avoid disorienting the audience. Juxtaposition and crosscutting can influence how audiences perceive emotions or actions. Matching cuts emphasize actions, while J-cuts and L-cuts affect the relationship between audio and video. Transition effects like dissolves and wipes are also discussed.
Editing
Video editing involves manipulating and rearranging video clips and audio to create a new work. It includes tasks like rearranging clips, applying effects, and creating transitions between clips. Various techniques like shot/reverse shot, match cuts, and crosscutting are used to maintain continuity and clear narrative. Transitions between scenes are also important, and can involve fading, inserting background music, or different types of visual transitions. Proper editing techniques and pacing help tell the story smoothly.
Editing (S45220189)
This document discusses various aspects of editing, including:
1. Editing involves joining separate shots together and adding/removing effects, graphics, sound, time, framing and establishing shots.
2. There are different cinematography techniques used in editing like match cuts, short reverse shots, and reaction shots.
3. Transitions like fades, dissolves, and wipes are used to join scenes, and continuity and montage editing styles are discussed.
Media key terms editing
Editing is the post-production process of organizing images and sound to construct a narrative. It aims to communicate the narrative to audiences through strategic use of cuts, transitions, effects and other editing techniques. Key techniques include continuity editing, which creates a sense of reality and smooth progression. This involves matching shots according to rules like the 180-degree rule and establishing eye lines. Pace, time, and narrative structure are also manipulated through editing.
Video editing-intruction
Video editing involves both linear and non-linear techniques. Linear editing involves selecting and arranging footage on videotape, while non-linear editing uses computer software to manipulate digitized footage non-destructively. Effective editing styles like continuity editing, shot-reverse shot, establishing shots, and cutting on action aim to smoothly convey events and the relationships between subjects. Cross-cutting and insert shots add context or interest within a scene.

Storyboard
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
Evaluation question 4
The student used various media technologies at different stages of their project. Blogger was used to consolidate research and display analysis as well as monitor engagement. YouTube was crucial for analyzing films, distributing work, and showing comparisons in the evaluation. Adobe Premiere Pro and Photoshop were the main software used for editing the short film and creating promotional materials. iMac and MacBook Air provided powerful, portable devices for editing on location and in the classroom.
Evaluation question 1
1) The film 'The Lake' follows conventions of a thriller genre such as using claustrophobic spaces like attics to create tension, but also challenges conventions through an ambiguous ending and non-linear narrative.
2) The film represents age through the protagonist, a young male adult, and uses color like red to represent danger when introducing the antagonist.
3) In terms of style, the film challenges conventions through sudden changes in pace compared to typical slow buildups in thrillers, and uses non-linear editing compared to typical linear narratives.
New media pitch
The document outlines a short film project about a photographer who discovers a mysterious image in one of his photos. He and a friend return to the location and encounter a character who begins chasing them. The genre is thriller, chosen for its ability to thrill audiences with suspense and mystery. The film will be shot with DSLR and GoPro cameras, feature discontinuity editing and include both diegetic and non-diegetic sound. It will have three characters and be filmed at locations that are accessible to the filmmaker.
Equipment and software
The document lists and describes the equipment and software that will be used to shoot and edit a film. It includes a Canon EOS 750D camera with two lenses, a Velbon CX-888 tripod, a Polaroid Pro Video Condenser Shotgun Microphone, a 27-inch Apple iMac computer, Adobe Premier Pro editing software, Adobe After Effects for special effects, and LiveType for titles and credits. All of the equipment and software will allow for high quality, professional filming, editing, and finishing of the film.
Final Idea
The document outlines a found footage thriller film project. It will tell the story of a home invasion through footage filmed by the protagonist during the event and later discovered by characters. It discusses using handheld camera work, CCTV footage, diegetic sound, and discontinuity editing to create suspense. The film will have four characters, be shot in an empty house, and distributed online to its target audience of 16-30 year olds, especially male fans of the thriller genre.
Chosen Film
The document discusses the filmmaker's idea for a found footage thriller film about a home invasion. It will start after the invasion when characters find the camera and view footage of the events. The film aims to build suspense while feeling realistic. The genre of thriller was chosen due to limited budget and filming techniques for suspense. Handheld camera work will establish the found footage effect, with some steadicam and CCTV footage. Editing will include discontinuity and vary cut speed. Mostly diegetic sound and limited music will be used. There will be four characters and small online distribution targeted towards young adult audiences.
Pitch
The document discusses the thriller genre and its conventions. It explores sub-genres like action thriller, crime thriller, and psychological thriller. Key thriller films are analyzed, such as Psycho, The Sixth Sense, and The Silence of the Lambs. Target audiences for thrillers are also examined. The document concludes by outlining three potential ideas for a short thriller film to be planned, shot, and edited.
Sound presentation
Sound is an important element in film that enhances the audience experience. There are two main categories of sound in film - diegetic sounds that come from visible or implied sources within the scene, and non-diegetic sounds like scores and voiceovers that do not originate from within the scene. Effective use of dialogue, scores, soundtracks, sound effects and ambient noise help direct emotions and move the narrative forward.
Sound presentation
Sound plays an important role in film by enhancing the audience's experience. There are two main types of sound: diegetic, which comes from visible or implied sources on screen like dialogue and foley effects, and non-diegetic sources like scores and voiceovers from outside the narrative. Music in films like scores and soundtracks help direct the audience's emotions, while sound effects, dialogue and bridges between scenes aid in seamless storytelling.
Nightcrawler
The document provides a detailed timeline analysis of shots in the Nightcrawler film. It includes descriptions of shots (close up, long shot, etc.) from timecode 0 to timecode 2.26. For each shot segment, it lists the corresponding diegetic and non-diegetic sounds (dialogue, soundtrack, ambient sounds, etc.). The timeline analysis provides a thorough breakdown of the visuals and audio used throughout the film.
Evaluation question 2
This document discusses how different social groups are represented in a media product. It represents youth aged 16-21 through the costumes of the main characters. Females are represented as more concerned with appearance through the use of makeup and a dressing table prop. Gender stereotypes are also represented, with women shown as more vulnerable and emotional through facial expressions, and men as more powerful and dominant in shot composition and body language. Class is represented by the rural setting and large houses indicating upper class, in contrast to the antagonist's costume stereotypical of the lower classes.
Question 5
The document discusses how the filmmakers addressed their target audience. They conducted audience tests during production to get feedback on the narrative, typography, and rough draft. Their target audience was males and females aged 18-25. They included elements like a tense scene with fast cuts and mysterious antagonist to appeal to male viewers, while also including an intellectual puzzle around the antagonist's intentions to engage female viewers. They included a jump scare and puzzle around the planning board to provide visceral and intellectual pleasures. The characters and locations were designed to be relatable to the target demographic.
Evaluation question 2
The document discusses potential distributors for an independent, low-budget film with a dark tone and 15 rating. It analyzes Warner Bros, Disney, Film4, and Microwave. Warner Bros and Disney are ruled out as they focus on big-budget blockbusters. Film4 and Microwave are presented as the most viable options as they specialize in smaller, British films and have experience supporting independent productions through funding and distribution. Microwave in particular offers financing up to £25,000 and has successfully distributed similar small, local films to UK audiences.
Question 7
From their preliminary task to the full production, the student has learned:
1) How to storyboard in greater detail with more shots and drafts.
2) How to incorporate more advanced shots like POV and extreme long shots to create suspense.
3) How to use more sophisticated editing techniques like transitions, jump cuts, and faster pacing.
4) How to improve titles, credits, and ident to have more professional quality and suit the narrative.
5) How using better equipment like a HD camera and tripod improved video quality.
Question 5
The document discusses how the filmmakers addressed their target audience throughout the production process. They conducted audience tests asking questions about the narrative, typography, and rough draft to help edit the film. Their target audience was males and females aged 18-25. They included suspenseful scenes and an intellectual puzzle by not fully revealing the antagonist's intentions until the end. Jump scares and trying to guess the antagonist's planning board provided visceral and intellectual pleasures. The characters and costumes were relatable to the target ages. Most importantly, they consulted the audience during research and production to create a realistic narrative they could relate to.
Question 4
Our film would be classified as a 15 by the BBFC due to its focus on darker themes like abduction, violence and crime. Our primary target audience is males aged 18-25 because research shows they prefer and rate crime/thriller films more highly compared to other genres and age groups. They find suspense and thrill pleasurable. Our secondary audience is both males and females aged 18-25 as females also enjoy unraveling complex narratives.
Question 3
Film 4 and Warner Bros are traditional distributors that handle marketing and exhibition of films. Warner Bros is suited to larger budget blockbuster films while Film 4 focuses on smaller, British films. Microwave, funded by the BFI and BBC Films, helps produce and distribute independent films with budgets up to £25,000. They have had successful films that made returns despite small budgets. Given the dark tone, 15 rating, and low budget of the document's film, Film 4 and Microwave would be most viable to distribute it as they have experience with similar independent, local audience-targeted films.
Evaluation question 2
This document discusses how different social groups are represented in a media product. It represents youth aged 16-21 through the costumes of the main characters. Females are portrayed as more concerned with appearance through the use of makeup and a dressing table prop. Gender stereotypes are also represented, with women shown as more vulnerable and emotional through facial expressions, and men as more powerful and dominant in shot composition and body language. Class is represented by the rural setting and large houses indicating upper class, in contrast to the antagonist's hoodie and jeans, associated with the lower class.
Question 6
The document discusses various technologies used in constructing a project. It describes learning to use Blogger to chronologically showcase work and share with group members. Adobe Premier Pro was used to edit videos, though issues arose with inconsistent black boxes during exporting. YouTube was utilized for research, works-in-progress, and the final film. LiveType was challenging initially but was mastered for adding credits and titles. iMacs and laptops facilitated the work, and a Panasonic camera captured footage while a tripod and dolly enabled steady and moving shots. Overall the individuals developed new skills with the technologies.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Editing techniques
- 2. Purpose of editing The purpose of editing is to allow the film to flow cohesively without unintentionally confusing the audience. The use of camera angles, special effects and cuts allow for a more enhanced experience for the viewer. Before editing was widely introduced films used to be one long still shot, the breakthrough of post-production and editing enabled films to be more creative and influential.
- 3. Analogue and digital editing Analogue editing was the practical way of editing, before films became mostly digitized editing was done by physically cutting and pasting clips and then passing through a Moviola machine. Digital editing is the norm in modern filmmaking, it is much faster and more efficient for filmmakers, it allows for more freedom and changes within the process. Software for editing includes Adobe Premier Pro, iMovie and Final Cut Pro.
- 4. Continuity editing • Continuity editing is the predominant style of editing in modern filmmaking. The purpose of continuity editing is to show a cohesive storyline and the shots in real time order. This style shows a logical coherence between shots.
- 5. Discontinuity editing • Discontinuity editing is where the film does not follow the conventional chronological order. An example of this would be flashbacks, or when a films starts at the end or “in the middle of things” • One director who uses this technique frequently is Quentin Tarantino his films such as Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction use discontinuity editing and jump in and out of time frames. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jomr9SAjcyw
- 6. Montage editing • Most commonly used in trailers, Montage editing is where a series of short shots are are edited and condensed. The effect of this is to show the quick movement of time.
- 7. Match Cut • A match cut, also known as a graphic match is cut between two objects or two different spaces. • This is used to show the similarities of two objects or place. As well as emphasizes a metaphor. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI3s5fA7Zhk
- 8. Cross Cut • A cross cut is a cut that symbolizes that two events are occurring at the same time. The camera will cut from one action to another action in two separate locations which will suggest that the two actions are taking place at the same time • Also known as a parallel editing . • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCiGyaSPRhI
- 9. Jump Cut • A jump cut is an abrupt cut/transition from one scene or shot to another that symbolizes a jump in time. This allows the audience to follow the film more effectively. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI3s5fA7Zhk
