2. 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

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.#
