The document discusses various video editing techniques such as continuity editing, parallel cutting, and thematic editing. Continuity editing involves arranging shots in a logical sequence to suggest progression of events or cause and effect. Parallel cutting cuts between different storylines happening simultaneously to vary pace and heighten interest. Thematic editing rapidly cuts between shots based on a central theme rather than a logical narrative. Proper use of techniques like insert shots, cutaways, and exploring motivation can enhance storytelling and believability.

This document discusses key concepts in film editing, including its early development, pioneers like Edwin Porter and Lev Kuleshov, and techniques established by D.W. Griffith. It explains that early films showed static shots but that editing innovations allowed cutting between different shots to imply continuity of time and location. The Kuleshov experiment demonstrated how editing can alter audience perception by changing the context around a central shot. Continuity editing uses techniques like matching eyelines and actions to seamlessly tie shots together and allow audiences to follow complex narratives. The document also outlines common shot transitions and how editing can control a film's pacing through elements like shot duration and rhythm.
The document discusses different types of film editing techniques. It describes editing as the process of selecting and joining shots together to create a finished film.

The editor's role is to coordinate shots and eliminate unwanted footage to craft a coherent narrative. They select usable takes, trim extra frames before and after each take, and decide how to transition between shots. The editor works closely with the director to ensure scenes edit together smoothly. Different editing styles, like realism versus formalism, determine how obtrusive the edits are and how much meaning is derived from the editing itself versus performance. Transitions like cuts, dissolves and jump cuts signal relationships between shots.

There are two main approaches to film editing: continuity editing and discontinuity editing. Continuity editing emphasizes smooth, coherent transitions between shots to tell a narrative in an invisible way, while discontinuity editing emphasizes differences between shots and calls attention to itself by creating new meaning through juxtaposition of individual shots. Both aim to manipulate time and space but in different ways - continuity seeks temporal and spatial continuity and illusion, while discontinuity violates expectations of continuity.
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.
The document defines and provides examples of various techniques of continuity editing used to maintain a coherent and seamless narrative flow between shots. These include establishing shots, shot/reverse shot, the 180-degree rule, the 30-degree rule, crosscutting, matching on action, eyeline matching, and re-establishing shots. Continuity editing helps structure the narrative, allow shots to flow seamlessly together, and makes the film easy for viewers to follow.

This document provides an overview of basic video editing techniques. It discusses continuity editing and how changing the order of shots can alter the perceived sequence of events. It also covers techniques like inserting close-up shots, using cutaways, accelerating or expanding time, showing causality and motivation, and parallel cutting between different storylines. The goal is to teach editors how to craft coherent narratives and engage audiences through strategic shot sequencing.
Continuity editing refers to arranging shots to suggest the progression of events. It primarily guides the audience through a sequence logically. Editors can suggest causality and motivation between events by showing causes that lead to effects. They can also manipulate time by accelerating or expanding it for dramatic effect, such as showing a date being prepared in seconds rather than minutes. Breaking expected continuity through unexpected shots can create tension in the audience.
Continuity editing refers to arranging shots to suggest the progression of events. It primarily guides the audience through a sequence logically. Editors can suggest causality and motivation between events by showing causes that lead to effects. They can also manipulate time by accelerating or expanding it for dramatic effect, such as showing a date being prepared in seconds rather than minutes. Breaking expected continuity can create tension by leaving the audience curious about what they don't see.
Editing involves joining images together to create meaning and tell a story. Key techniques editors use include controlling shot length to set tempo, using transitions between shots, and precisely timing shots. Editing draws attention through close-ups and establishes settings. Cutting between shots of two people in conversation (shot reverse shot) or matching a character's eye line builds narrative and draws viewers into the story.
Editing involves joining images together to create meaning and tell a story. Key techniques editors use include creating collages through montage, controlling tempo through varying shot lengths, and precise timing of shots. Editing also manipulates time through techniques like condensing or expanding scenes. Arranging the order of events, using flashbacks, and cutting between shots can confuse or clarify the narrative. Precise shot selection, through techniques like close-ups and establishing shots, draws viewers' attention to important details. Conversation scenes are crafted through shot reverse shot patterns and matching characters' eye lines. These techniques shape the story and its meaning.
Editing is essential to organize raw film footage and ensure the audience understands the narrative. It puts everything in a logical order, removes unnecessary clips, and adds elements like music, color correction, and transitions. The main purposes of editing are to make the story and timeline clear, keep the audience engaged through techniques like parallel editing between storylines, and ensure continuity between shots through careful matching of details. Digital editing software now makes the process faster and more precise compared to historical analogue methods.

The document outlines the planning and pre-production process for a music video. It discusses developing a visual plan including pre-visualization, storyboarding, and a shot list. Sample boards and lists are included covering concepts like costume, props, and locations. Potential locations discussed are near a river, McDonald's, a train station, and a bowling alley. Issues with each are considered along with fallback options in case of problems.
Video editing is the process of piecing together raw footage and adjusting scenes to create a final product. It allows altering of time, space, and interpretations through techniques like cutting, matching shots, adjusting pace, and breaking continuity rules for effect. Proper editing follows principles of storytelling, shot combination, pace, and established rules to clearly convey meaning to audiences. Editing has evolved from early linear cutting to modern nonlinear digital processes, improving the ability to craft complex narratives.
Mr. Palindrome believes the world is backwards, with everyone and everything moving in reverse. The opening scenes will show his daily routine in reverse to establish this premise. It will later be revealed that the world is normal and Mr. Palindrome's perception is due to mental instability. The film is inspired by the reverse chronology of Memento and will be a psychological thriller shot over three weeks at various London locations.
Film editing involves cutting different footage sections together to form a sequence. Early films used longer 1-minute shots due to technology limitations, while modern films typically use 2-3 second shots. Sergei Eisenstein developed the concept of montage, juxtaposing shots to imply meanings and progress the story. Editing techniques like match cuts, cross cuts, and jump cuts manipulate time and space for narrative purposes, with the "Hollywood method" establishing spatial and temporal continuity through techniques like 180-degree lines and shot-reverse-shot.
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.
Film editing involves cutting different sections of footage together to progress the storyline. Early films around the late 1800s had shots lasting around 1 minute before cutting. Montage editing, developed by Sergei Eisenstein, involves juxtaposing shots to convey themes and meaning. There are various types of cuts like match cuts, cross cuts and jump cuts that edit different shots together based on action, location, or time. Continuity editing became prevalent in classical Hollywood cinema in the 1930s-40s to provide spatial and temporal continuity through techniques like the 180-degree rule and shot-reverse-shot.
This document provides information about a film editing techniques unit, including definitions of key editing terms and techniques. It discusses continuity editing, the 180 degree rule, shot reverse shot, match on action, and more. It provides examples of techniques from films like Psycho, The Birds, and Scream. Students are tasked with creating a glossary defining terms and analyzing example clips to demonstrate motives and purposes of different editing choices. The goal is for students to develop expertise in discussing editing language and conventions.
This document discusses technical conventions used in horror films, including camera techniques, editing, sound, and mise-en-scene. It provides examples of shots including high and low angles that convey power dynamics. Editing techniques like cuts, transitions, and parallel editing are explained. The use of diegetic and non-diegetic sound as well as music to set mood is covered. Mise-en-scene elements like lighting, locations, costumes, and props that create meaning and suspense are also described.
The document analyzes the Woman in Black film and trailer through several film techniques. It discusses how the trailer follows conventions like showing important plot points without revealing too much. It also builds tension through fast editing during scary scenes and changes shots each time bells chime in the soundtrack. Camerawork and mise-en-scene like a disturbing doll help set an unsettling atmosphere and engage audiences in the film's mystery.
The document discusses various editing techniques used in film and television. It covers continuity editing and how the order of shots can change the perceived narrative. It also discusses the Kuleshov effect and how juxtaposing shots can influence audience interpretation. Additionally, it outlines the four main functions of editing as well as the four areas of editing - graphic relations, rhythmic relations, temporal relations, and spatial relations. Specific techniques like match cuts, dissolves, and shot-reverse-shot are explained in the context of achieving continuity and coherent storytelling.
Editing techniques like collage, shot length, and timing can be used to convey meaning and influence the pace of a film. Collage involves combining different shots to tell a story. Long shots slow the pace while quick cuts increase intensity. Timing emphasizes reactions by cutting to close-ups. Arranging the order of shots also impacts the story by allowing flashbacks, condensing time, or expanding on actions. Editing directs viewers' attention through techniques like establishing shots, shot reverse shot, and eye line matching. Continuity and following rules like the 180 degree rule further shape the meaning derived from the edited work.
Video editing involves piecing together raw footage, cutting out unnecessary parts, and adjusting scenes to create a final product that suits the desired result. There are different editing techniques like continuity editing to maintain consistency between shots, match cuts to smoothly transition between related scenes, and shot-reverse-shot to cut between speakers in a conversation. Proper editing is important for storytelling to clearly deliver the message through a coherent storyline.
The document defines various editing techniques used in film and television production:
1) Cutting refers to transitions between shots, such as shot/reverse shot cutting between speakers in a dialogue.
2) Transitions besides cuts include dissolves, where one shot gradually breaks into particles as the next emerges, and crossfades where one shot fades out as the next fades in.
3) Editing can control the passage of time through techniques like montages that compress time and ellipses that leave gaps between shots.
Video editing involves piecing together raw footage, cutting out unnecessary parts, and adjusting scenes to create a final product that suits the intended result. There are multiple editing techniques that can be used such as continuity editing to maintain consistency between shots, match cuts to imply relationships between scenes, and shot-reverse-shot to show reactions during conversations. Proper editing is important for storytelling and pacing to engage the audience.
Game Development Project Management/ConceptKevin Duggan
This document discusses key aspects of game development project management and concepts. It begins by outlining the important role of the project manager in coordinating development. It then discusses developing an initial game concept, including generating ideas, assessing feasibility, and presenting the concept. The next section covers creating a treatment for the concept by defining elements like genre, style, plot, characters, environment, and objectives. Finally, it briefly mentions analyzing strengths and weaknesses of a development team and differences between developing for PCs versus game consoles.
The importance of symmetrical and asymmetrical balance in the development of games. A video game can be represented in a Excel sheet using numbers only.

It discusses accessing the Stroke panel through the Window menu and setting line join styles like miter, round, and bevel. Brush types are introduced including calligraphic, art, scatter, and pattern. Instructions are given for accessing brush-related panels like Brushes and New Brush. The document also covers creating outlines from text, using the Pathfinder panel, and direct selection tools.
Kevin Duggan: Creation and use of STORYBOARDS, Planning | New MediaKevin Duggan
This document provides guidance for planning and preparing a multimedia project through storyboarding. It emphasizes that one should always plan out a project first through preparation, research, experimentation and brainstorming such as creating mood boards. The document then gives examples of elements to consider in storyboarding such as typography, defining the color palette, and reviewing aspects of the logo like placement of the tagline and preferred grape colors. The purpose of storyboarding is to help limit guessing and provide visual direction that fits within the brand.
This document provides a timeline of major video game consoles and systems from 1967 to present, starting with the Brown Box in 1967, the Magnavox Odyssey, Atari Pong, the Atari 2600, Intellivision by Mattel, early Nintendo systems including the original Nintendo and Game Boy.
The document discusses 3-point lighting techniques used in film production. 3-point lighting refers to lighting a subject from three angles using a key light, fill light, and back light. Common lighting instruments discussed include Fresnel lights and HMI lights, which produce different color temperatures and intensities. The key attributes of light - coherence, color temperature, and intensity - are explained. Various methods are covered for controlling the quality, color, and brightness of lighting, such as using diffusers, gels, dimmers, scrims, and flags.
Video Game Development: External RelationKevin Duggan
Game developers must manage relationships with external parties such as publishers, hardware manufacturers, and third-party developers. Publishers need regular updates on the project's status and should be given both positive and negative news. Hardware manufacturers can be first-party if they own the developer, or second-party if they have a close business relationship without ownership. Third-party developers provide services like testing, localization, marketing, and insurance. Managing these external relationships is crucial to the success of a video game project.
This document outlines key elements that should be included in an Art and Sound Design Guide (ASG) for a game. The ASG describes the artistic approach, identifies key art assets, establishes art standards, and ensures visual consistency. It provides concept drawings of characters, environments, icons, and menus. It also specifies the art production pipeline and stages from initial concepts to final textures and animations. The document stresses that the art and sound design should reinforce the intended mood. Additionally, it addresses video resolutions and aspects, safe areas for user interfaces, and styles for sound effects, soundtracks and adaptive audio.
The document outlines the phases of game development overseen by the producer. It discusses establishing the project scope through documents, determining staffing needs, and that salaries make up the largest part of the budget. It also describes dividing the project into categories and tasks, prioritizing tasks, estimating task lengths and risks, and using tools like Microsoft Project to maintain schedules and track milestones like alpha, beta, and gold master.

2. “Editing is the creative force
of filmic reality...and the
foundation of film art.”
• V.I. Pudovkin, 1915
3. • Continuity Editing refers to arranging the sequence of shots
to suggest a progression of events. Given the same shots, an
editor can suggest many different scenarios. Consider just
these two shots:
• A man glances up in surprise
• Another man pulls a gun and
fires toward the camera
• In this order it appears that
the first man was shot.
• However, if you reverse the
order of these two scenes,
the first man is watching a
shooting.
Video Editing
4. Video Editing
Look at what can be done with just three shots:
1. people jumping from a car
2. the car on fire
3. an explosion
1-2-3 - In the 1-2-3 sequence,
the shots suggest that
people are jumping from a
car seconds before it
catches fire and explodes
5. Look at what can be done with just three shots:
1. people jumping from a car
2. the car on fire
3. an explosion
3-2-1 - This order suggests that
there is an explosion and
then the car bursts into
flames; and, as a result, the
people have to jump out.
Video Editing
6. Look at what can be done with just three shots:
1. people jumping from a car
2. the car on fire
3. an explosion
2-1-3 - If the sequence is
changed to 2-1-3, it appears
that as a result of a fire
passengers jump out of the
car just in time to escape a
devastating explosion.
Video Editing
7. Look at what can be done with just three shots:
1. people jumping from a car
2. the car on fire
3. an explosion
2-3-1 - And finally, in this
scenario, people jump from
the car after a fire causes a
devastating explosion!
Video Editing
8. Three shots;
Four very different meanings!
• When hundreds of scenes and takes of scenes are available to
an editor, which is normally the case in dramatic productions,
the editor has tremendous
control over the basic
continuity and message of
the production. The project
is literally created in the
editing room
Video Editing
9. • Continuity Editing primarily
suggests guiding an audience
through a sequence of events,
and, in the process, showing
them what they want to see
when they want to see it.
In dramatic storytelling, good editors sometimes break
from the expected to achieve a dramatic effect.
Unfulfilled expectations can be used to create tension.
Video Editing
10. • Here's an example of the latter. In a story about the changes in
the U.S. $100 bill a treasury spokesperson spends considerable
time giving specific details on the changes that were necessary
to foil counterfeiting.
• Let's assume that the whole
time all we see is a two-shot of
the men carefully examining
one of the new $100 bills.
• Obviously, we would want to
see a close-up of the bill so we
can see the changes they're
talking about. If there is no
such shot, we feel frustrated.
Video Editing
11. • So, unless you want to leave your audience hanging
for momentary dramatic effect, always keep in mind
what you think the audience expects to see at
any given moment. If you do, your edit decision list
(EDL) will largely write itself.
• In news and documentary work
the more logically you can
present events the less chance
there is for misunderstanding or
frustration.
• However, in dramatic work, you
might want to leave some
things open to interpretation.
12. ACCELERATING TIME
• In film and video production time is routinely
condensed and expanded. For example, let's say
you want to tell the story of a young woman going
out on an important date.
• The process of just
watching her pick out
clothes from her closet,
taking a shower, drying her
hair, putting on her clothes,
doing her make-up, and
driving to the restaurant
could take 90 minutes.
That's the total time devoted
to most feature films!
13. ACCELERATING TIME
• Audiences are taught to assume things not shown.
For example, the 90 minutes or so it took the
woman to meet her date can be shown in under 20
seconds like this:
• Selecting her clothes (2 sec)
• A view of her through a steamy
shower door (3 sec)
• Blow-drying her hair (3 sec)
• Leaving the house (2 sec)
• Shots of her driving (3 sec)
• Arriving at the restaurant and
meeting her date (3 sec)
14. • In a real-time version of the scene,
the people sit down at the table and
the bomb goes off. End of people;
end of scene. But Hitchcock was
famous for suspense, and very little
suspense would be generated in this
way.
EXPANDING TIME
• In Hitchcock’s version the people gather, talk, and
casually sit down at the dinner table. A shot of the bomb
ticking away under shows what is about to happen.
15. EXPANDING TIME
• In Hitchcock’s version the people gather, talk, and
casually sit down at the dinner table. A shot of the bomb
ticking away under shows what is about to happen.
• Unaware of the bomb, the people
discuss their dull lives.
• Shots of the bomb are intercut with
guests laughing as they eat dinner.
The intercutting speeds up until the
bomb blows the dinner party to bits.
• In this edit, the scene creates far
greater emotional impact.
16. • Unaware of the bomb, the people
discuss their dull lives.
• Shots of the bomb are intercut with
guests laughing as they eat dinner.
The intercutting speeds up until the
bomb blows the dinner party to bits.
• In this edit, the scene creates far
greater emotional impact.
EXPANDING TIME
• In Hitchcock’s version the people gather, talk, and
casually sit down at the dinner table. A shot of the bomb
ticking away under shows what is about to happen.
17. SHOWING CAUSALITY
• Often, a part of continuity editing is to suggest or explain
cause. A good script (enhanced by good editing)
suggests or explains why things happen.
• For example, in a dramatic
production it would seem strange to
cut to a shot of someone answering
the phone unless we had heard the
phone ring. A ringing phone brings
about a response; the phone is
answered.
18. SHOWING CAUSALITY
• We may see a female corpse on the living room sofa during the
first five minutes of a dramatic film, but not know who killed
her or why until 90 minutes later.
• Even though strict continuity
editing dictates that we present
events in a logical sequence, it
makes a more interesting story if
we present the result first and
reveal the cause gradually over
time. This is the approach of
almost every crime story.
19. SHOWING CAUSALITY
• Sometimes we assume the cause. If we see a shot of someone
with all the symptoms of being drunk, we can safely assume
they have been drinking (cause).
• If we see a shot of
someone attempting a
difficult feat on skis for the
first time, followed by a
shot of them arriving back
home with one leg in a
cast, we assume that
things didn't quite work
out.
20. SHOWING CAUSALITY
• Sometimes we assume the cause. If we see a shot of
someone with all the symptoms of being drunk, we can
safely assume they have been drinking (cause).
• Let's go back to the
corpse on the living
room floor. Knowing that
the husband did it may
not be enough (maybe
for the police, but not for
most viewers). In
causality there is also
the question of why.
This brings up
motivation.
21. SHOWING MOTIVATION
• Motivation includes any one of the age-old motives, including
money, jealousy and revenge. Even if the motivation is
revenge, revenge must have a cause.
• To provide the answer we can
show incidents from the past.
• We see the woman’s lover.
• We then see suspicion,
jealousy, resentment, and
anger building in her husband.
• We see that these negative
emotions can’t be restrained.
22. Video Editing Basics
CAUSE, EFFECT and MOTIVATION
• Editors must perceive the dynamics of these cause-and-
effect relationships to skillfully handle them. They must
also have an understanding of human psychology so that
they can portray feelings and events realistically.
• How many serious dramatic productions have you seen
where actions and reactions just don't seem to be
realistic? Doesn’t it take away from the believability of
the production?
• Writers and directors also know they shouldn't reveal
answers (motivations) too quickly.
• In a good mystery we will probably try to hold our
audience by leading them through critical developments
in a step-by-step fashion
23. PAPER EDITING EXERCISE
• Given the following four shots, explain four possible scenarios
by composing them in a different order:
1) A man enters a house
2) There is the sound of a gunshot
3) An ambulance arrives
4) A body is rolled out on a gurney
• Provide a possible scenario for:
1-2-3-4 3-1-2-4 3-4-1-2 3-4-2-1
24. CONTINUITY TECHNIQUES
• While holding to the basic continuity of a story, an editor
can enhance the look of a production by adding insert
shots and cutaways.
• An insert shot is a close-
up of something that
exists within the basic
scene. The latter is
typically visible within the
establishing or wide shot.
Master Shot
Insert
Shot
25. CONTINUITY TECHNIQUES
• Insert shots add needed information, information that
wouldn't otherwise be immediately visible or clear. Let’s
return to the example of the new $100. bills:
• The ECU (extreme close-
up) of the bills showing the
differences between these
bills and the old $100. bills is
also considered an insert
shot.
26. CONTINUITY TECHNIQUES
• Unlike insert shots that show significant
aspects of the overall scene in close-up,
cutaways cut away from the main scene
or action to add additional information.
• Here, we cut away from a
shot of a man glancing
down a mine shaft (on the
left) to man already at a
lower level (right)
Master Shot
Cutaway
Shot
27. CONTINUITY TECHNIQUES
• During a parade, we might cut away from the parade to a
shot of people watching from a nearby rooftop or a child
in a stroller sleeping through the commotion.
• In the editing process we rely
on insert shots and cutaways
to effectively present the
elements of a story.
• As editors, you will be thankful
if whoever shot the original
footage was professional
enough to provide insert shots
and cutaways.
28. RELATIONAL EDITING
• Relational editing refers to the human tendency to try to
establish a relationship between scenes. A series of
shots can take on a cause and effect significance when
edited together in a sequence.
• The scene on the right begs
for a cut to a scene to explain
who the woman is waving at.
29. RELATIONAL EDITING
• Relational editing refers to the human tendency to try to
establish a relationship between scenes. A series of
shots can take on a cause and effect significance when
edited together in a sequence.
• The scene on the right begs
for a cut to a scene to
explain who the woman is
waving at.
• If this scene is followed by a
shot of a car pulling up to
the curb, we will assume
that the woman will go over
to the car.
30. RELATIONAL EDITING
• Relational editing refers to the human tendency to try to
establish a relationship between scenes. A series of
shots can take on a cause and effect significance when
edited together in a sequence.
• The scene on the right
begs for a cut to a
scene to explain who
the woman is waving at.
• If it's followed by a shot
of a woman pushing a
stroller along a
sidewalk, we would
assume something
different.
31. RELATIONAL EDITING
• Relational editing refers to the human tendency to try to
establish a relationship between scenes. A series of
shots can take on a cause and effect significance when
edited together in a sequence.
• To follow this shot with
a shot of a cowboy
would probably not
make much sense to
the viewer. In relational
editing, we expect to
see scenes that come
together in a logical
sequence to tell a
story.
32. THEMATIC EDITING
• In thematic editing, images are edited together based only on a
central theme. Unlike other types of editing, thematic editing does
not develop an idea in a logical sequence. Thematic editing,
(often referred to as montage
editing) is a rapid sequence of shots
designed to elicit feelings or call
upon common experiences. This
type of editing is often used in music
videos, commercials, and movie
trailers.
33. PARALLEL CUTTING
• Early films used to follow just one story line -- generally,
with the hero in almost every scene. Today, we would
find this simplistic story structure rather boring.
• Soap operas, sitcoms, and
dramatic productions typically
have two or more story lines
taking place at the same time.
• The multiple story lines can be
as simple as cross-cutting from
the husband who murdered his
wife to the police as they try to
catch and prosecute him.
34. PARALLEL CUTTING
• When the segments are cut together to follow multiple (different)
story lines, it's referred to as parallel cutting. By cutting back and
forth between two or more mini-
stories within the overall story, pace
is varied and the viewer interest is
heightened.
• Today's dramas typically have eight
or ten major characters, and
although intertwined with the main
drama, each has their own
continuing story.
