Edwin Porter was the first film editor and established editing techniques like jump cuts and cross cuts to tell a story through rhythm and establish multiple storylines. Effective editing follows the 180 degree rule for smooth camera movements between shots and cuts on action rather than appearing repetitive. Editors shape films by removing slow parts and want to edit life like a film by cutting out negatives.

Editing
The document discusses different styles and techniques of film editing including continuity editing, montage editing, and various transition effects between shots. It notes that continuity editing aims for shots to flow together naturally and appear continuous, while montage editing juxtaposes shots to create new meanings. It also describes crosscutting/parallel editing, dissolves, wipes, and how editing is crucial for action films to maintain pace and tension.
Examples of cinematic techniques
Continuity editing techniques such as match on action, shot reverse shot, and following the 180-degree rule help provide a seamless viewing experience for the audience. Match on action cuts between shots that show the same action without interruption. Shot reverse shot alternates between characters looking at each other. The 180-degree rule orients the audience by maintaining the same left/right relationships between characters in a scene across different shots. These techniques ensure the audience understands spatial relationships and follows the flow of a conversation or scene without confusion.
Preliminary Research Task.
This document discusses three film editing techniques: match on action, which edits together multiple shots of the same action to create a continuous illusion; shot reverse shot, which films the lines of each person in a conversation separately and edits them together to appear like a normal discussion; and the 180 degree rule, which keeps characters on the same side of the screen within a scene by not crossing an invisible line to maintain consistency.
Media
This document discusses techniques in film and video editing such as cutting between shots where the action matches, keeping the camera on one side of an axis of action using the 180-degree rule of shooting, and using shot reverse shot to show two characters facing and looking at each other to imply a conversation.
Media terminology
This document defines three media-specific editing techniques: cutting on action or matching on action refers to cutting between shots that match the action taking place; shot/reverse shot shows one character looking at another character who is then shown looking back; and the 180-degree rule states that a camera should remain on the same side of an imaginary line between two characters being filmed to avoid making it appear they are switching places.

1. Early filmmakers had to deal with heavy, cumbersome camera equipment which made filming and editing difficult as they had to cut and rearrange physical strips of film.
2. Pioneering directors like D.W. Griffith and Sergei Eisenstein experimented with innovative editing techniques like parallel editing and montage to manipulate time and better tell stories.
3. Modern digital technology has allowed for lighter cameras with new capabilities like zooming and easier editing through nonlinear software rather than cutting and rearranging physical film.
Editing key words
Editing techniques can be used to manipulate the flow of time in a video. Continuity editing tells a story in chronological order through short shots, while montage editing uses shorter shots to show pieces of action out of order. Other techniques include long takes with few cuts, slow motion to slow down action, and ellipses that leap forward in time. Transitions between shots like cuts, dissolves, and fades help switching between scenes and locations.
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.

4 film editing glossary
Editors select shots from filmed material and arrange them to create a coherent narrative for the viewer. They consider how one shot transitions to the next using techniques like cuts, dissolves, and fades to link shots together seamlessly. Editors also match elements like character eyelines and the placement of props across shots to establish continuity and avoid confusion. The final cut is the finished edited version of the film approved by the director and producer.
One Shot Short Introduction
The document discusses one shots in filmmaking. A one shot is a continuous shot with no edits that tells a complete story or idea. Planning is critical to the success of a one shot. Hitchcock's 1948 film Rope used long 10 minute takes with carefully planned camera movements and props to hide cuts. The document provides tips for developing, previsualizing, and polishing a one shot film.

Film editing glossary
This document defines key terms used in film editing, including cuts, continuity editing, cross cutting, dissolves, and establishing shots. It explains that cuts instantly transition between shots, continuity editing flows shots smoothly, and cross cutting cuts between simultaneous lines of action. Dissolves gradually overlap the end of one shot with the beginning of another. Establishing shots show the location of upcoming action from a distance.
Evaluation question 7
The preliminary task was the first filming assignment in the student's AS media course. To complete the task, students had to learn about different camera angles and filming rules. The student's group used a match on action cut between shots of the student walking through a door from different perspectives to show continuity. They followed the 180 degree rule by keeping the camera on one side of an imaginary line between characters. Shot/reverse shot technique was also explained, showing characters looking at each other during a conversation.
Risk Assessment
This risk assessment document outlines several safety measures for an upcoming film production. It addresses risks from actor illnesses and performances, loss of footage, low camera batteries, proper collection of props and costumes, handling of equipment, hazards from props, lighting in dark scenes, and ensuring general safety for actors and film crew. The document emphasizes taking necessary precautions through risk assessment to identify any potential issues or injuries before filming to minimize threats.
Continuity editing
This document discusses several techniques used in film editing to maintain continuity and prevent viewer disorientation, including:
1) Diegetic sound that overlaps cuts to imply temporal continuity.
2) Matching actions before and after cuts, such as someone tossing a ball, to preserve continuity.
3) Establishing shots that show the entire scene space to help orient viewers before complex sequences of cuts.
4) Techniques like the 180 degree rule and eye line matching to guide viewer perspective between shots.
Group 2 'x factor'
This document outlines several job roles specific to television production on The X Factor, including the production designer who is responsible for the visual concept and identifying design styles, the lighting designer who works to create lighting and atmosphere with other designers, and the makeup artist who designs facial features to make characters look their best on camera. It also discusses the roles of the sound supervisor who checks sound requirements, camera supervisor who communicates the director's ideas, floor manager who prepares contestants, and stage manager who oversees lighting and technical elements. The offline editors edit footage offline to create the final production, while the production team produces the show technically and the director of production is in charge of the overall production.
Continuity principles
Continuity principles in film editing include matching on action where cuts show the same action from different shots, shot-reverse-shot which alternates between characters looking at each other, and the 180 degree angle rule where the left/right relationship between characters is maintained and crossing the line is avoided to reduce confusion.
Narrative theory
This document provides an overview of narrative theory and various theorists' approaches to analyzing narratives. It discusses how narrative is defined as a chain of causally linked events that have a beginning, middle, and end. Several theorists are mentioned, including Propp who identified common character types, Todorov who analyzed narratives in terms of equilibrium and disruption, Barthes who identified five codes used to make sense of narratives, and Levi-Strauss who examined how myths reflect a culture's values and beliefs through binary oppositions. The document also discusses modular and postmodern narratives as well as how narrative analysis involves considering various elements that construct meaning for audiences.
03 sound notes sheet
Film sound is carefully designed and plays an important role similar to visual elements. Most film sound is added during post-production rather than being recorded on set. Sound is mixed to emphasize important sounds and create the right atmosphere for each scene. There are different types of sounds, including diegetic sounds that come from visible or implied sources within the story and non-diegetic sounds from outside the story. Film sounds can also be synchronous to match actions, asynchronous from outside the story world, or contrapuntal to create different meanings by clashing with the visuals. Sound designers use a variety of techniques to guide the audience and reinforce narrative elements and character personalities.
Genre theory
Genre theory classifies films into categories based on shared conventions. Genres help audiences understand what to expect from a film and allow filmmakers to target specific demand. Recognizing a film's genre enables audiences to feel familiar with its conventions and enjoy spotting repetitions. However, deviation from conventions can confuse audiences while also providing surprise. Genres offer structure for audiences and influence can come from audiences reviving genres. Genres are in constant change as societies and values change. Some theorists argue genres are becoming harder to define as they increasingly borrow conventions from one another.
Camera angles
The document discusses different types of camera shots and angles used in filmmaking and their psychological effects. A long shot captures the full body and setting, establishing atmosphere. A high-angle shot makes the subject seem small and vulnerable. A low-angle shot makes the subject look powerful. A two-shot shows the relationship between two subjects. A point-of-view shot shows the scene from the subject's perspective. Medium close-ups show the torso and shoulders. Establishing shots set the scene. Close-ups focus on the face. Extreme close-ups show details like eyes and mouth to convey emotion. Over-the-shoulder shots are used in conversations.
Media language
The document discusses key concepts in media language including mise-en-scene, camera techniques, sound, and editing. It also covers codes, semiotics, and how signs take on meaning. Mise-en-scene refers to everything visible before the camera including setting, costumes, lighting and composition. Camera techniques include framing, angles, shot types and movement. Sound can be diegetic, coming from within the story world, or non-diegetic, coming from outside. Editing refers to the transitions between shots and aims for a smooth narrative flow. Semiotics is the study of signs and how meaning is constructed and understood through sign systems.
01 mise en scene notes sheet
Mise-en-scene refers to everything that appears on screen and includes 6 key areas: colour, costume, props, set/location, blocking/performance, and lighting. The document provides examples of how these elements are used to convey meaning and create mood through characters' clothing, backgrounds, objects, and lighting techniques like high key and low key. Costumes, for instance, can suggest a character's social class and personality, while lighting can make an image appear more dramatic with shadows or lighter for comedy genres. Mise-en-scene allows filmmakers to visually tell stories through intentional design of what appears on screen.
Editing terminology
Continuity editing is commonly used in films to seamlessly move the story and immerse viewers. Through techniques like matching shots and reaction shots, editing creates meaning and guides audience response. The pace of cuts also influences the mood, with slow editing suggesting emotion and fast cuts implying tension. Various transitions between shots like dissolves and wipes further impact the storytelling. Proper use of techniques like the 180-degree rule and match cuts helps establish spatial relationships and flow.

Jarrod Crawford's "Basic Editing Concepts" Lecture.
The document discusses basic editing concepts and functions such as combining, condensing, correcting, and building footage. It covers linear and non-linear editing techniques and provides examples of shots like establishing shots, medium shots, close-ups, cutaways, and how to properly cut between shots on action without creating jump cuts or crossing the axis of action.
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.
Editing techniques
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.
videoediting-141216140053-conversion-gate02.pdf
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 digitally manipulate captured footage. Effective editing uses techniques like establishing shots, shot-reverse shot, the 180-degree rule, and cutting on action to smoothly transition between shots and create coherent narratives. Common editing strategies include cross-cutting between different locations to show simultaneous action.
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.
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.
Asy1 moving image analysis Editing
Editing is the process of selecting and organizing various media elements like video, sound, and images. It involves correcting, condensing, and modifying this content. There are three main aspects of video editing: pace, transitions between clips, and clip order. Pace refers to the speed of cuts between clips and is used to convey emotions like excitement or suspense. Transitions determine how clips are connected, such as cuts, fades, or wipes. Order of clips can create a smooth narrative flow or juxtapose ideas. The predominant editing style for movies is continuity editing, which aims to seamlessly connect shots through techniques like matching eyelines or cutting on action. In contrast, montage editing uses symbolic associations
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.
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 overview
Film editing is an essential part of post-production that involves selecting and arranging shots into a coherent narrative. Some key editing techniques include continuity editing, which guides the audience through a logical progression of events to tell a story in an invisible manner, as well as cutting between shots, cross-cutting between different locations, and adjusting the pace of editing through quick cuts or long takes. Editors also employ transitions between shots like fades and dissolves, match cuts to seamlessly continue action, and shot/reverse shot editing to film dialogue exchanges.

Class Requirements
This class requires that students purchase the book Adobe Premiere Pro CC: Classroom In a Book by Adobe Creative Team (Official training workbook from Adobe Systems) prior to the next class. BE SURE YOU HAVE THE BOOK AND HAVE INSTALLED THE VIDEO FILES BEFORE YOU START UNIT 3.
Once you have your book, transfer (download) the video files. If you buy the regular version of the book it will include a DVD containing the video files you will need for the course. If you purchase the Kindle (or other online) version, it will include a link to download the video files.
NOTE: If you are downloading the video asset files rather than transferring them from the DvD included with the paperback version of the book, you will need to register your book online, go to the Registered Products tab, click on Access Bonus Content, and then download all the files. The current version has a download link for Lesson Files as well as sixteen (16) Assets file links - or possibly more, since they seem to keep adding assets files! You need to download all of these and then organize them on your hard drive as indicated on the Peachpit Downloads Page! (Yes, it's probably a lot simpler if you buy the book and just copy everything from the DvD disc -- the files on the DvD are already organized, so if transferring from the DvD there is no additional file organization step needed.)
You should also take this week to buy and install the Adobe Premiere Pro Software if you have not already done so. You may want to go ahead and install and open the program in order to familiarize yourself with the interface. More information can be found on the syllabus.
Next week’s class will introduce the editing basics of the software. Take this week to download and install the software and copy (/download) the media files so that your computer is already prepared when you begin Unit 3 next week!
Editing Tools
The process of editing has changed drastically since the beginning of filmmaking. The example films discussed in Unit 1 were edited using quite a different system than we use today. Before digital filmmaking was possible, all movies were shot on film. The film was literally cut into pieces and taped back together. So at one time it was very important to be sure of an edit before it was made. Each individual edit was a process and therefore a specific choice.
With the advent of digital editing platforms, or Non Linear Editing Systems (NLE), it is now much easier for editors to make an endless amount of changes to a film and always be able to revert back to the original clips. It is very easy to take for granted the incredible ability that non linear editing offers filmmakers today. But it is important to understand the changes that have occurred within the editing industry in order to more accurately analyze films from a variety of time periods.
As mentioned above, in this class we will be editing with Adobe Premiere Pro. With th.
Editing
Film editing is an important part of post-production that assembles raw footage into a coherent story. The editor works closely with the director to construct scenes through various shots that follow conventions like the 180-degree rule. This helps the audience understand spatial relationships. Transitions like cuts, fades, and dissolves affect the pace and mood. For example, in the battle scene from "Hot Fuzz", the editor builds tension by extending the duration through crosscutting between characters in different locations. Continuity editing, such as shot-reverse-shot, allows the audience to follow the conversation between characters.

Understanding of continuity principles
Cutting between shots that match the action, such as a man walking up to a door and reaching for the knob, helps provide continuity in film editing. The 180 degree rule and shot reverse shot techniques also aid continuity by maintaining the spatial relationship between characters and objects in a scene from different camera angles.
Editing
Editing involves organizing film footage and using techniques like continuity, non-continuity, cutting, and transitions to craft a coherent narrative for the audience. Some key techniques include shot/reverse shot, eyeline match, graphic match, jump cuts, cross cutting, action match, parallel editing, and cutaways. The editor aims to effectively communicate the story through these various editing strategies while maintaining or disrupting continuity as fits the filmmaker's intent.

What is an editor… Edwin Porter was the first person to edit a film, and he made a famous fire sequence The editor needs to tell a story with rhythm in order for it to make sense Editing is one of the most key parts of making a film People like editing because they want to edit there own lives much like a film. They want to remove the bad bits and cut out the slow bits.
- 3. Jump cut It is an abrupt switch from one screen to another, and it is used for dramatic effect
- 4. Cross cut A cut from one story or line of action to another Mostly used in films to establish action happening
- 5. Camera movement/the 180 degree rule https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTNUq-stj6M There is always a specific purpose for the camera moving The editor must know how the shots will match up when filming so that the movement is smooth ‘Edit on the action’ is when they move forwards between two shots rather than appearing like the movement has been repeated.#
