Georgia Neal's document discusses various editing techniques used in filmmaking. It describes using fast cutting to convey information quickly and imply energy or chaos, as well as for dialogue scenes. Color correction, specifically adding a blue tone, was used to create a mysterious drama genre. Match on action cuts between shots portraying continuous actions to make the film flow smoothly. Jump cuts were included to advance time without skipping the storyline and bore the audience.

2. Fast Cutting
 It can be used to convey a lot of information very quickly, or to imply either energy
or chaos. Fast cutting is also frequently used when shooting dialogue between two
or more characters, changing the viewer's perspective to either focus on the
reaction of another character's dialog, or to bring to attention the non-verbal actions
of the speaking character.
 We decided to use some aspects of fast cutting within our short film, as we wanted
the audience to feel the panic that Charlotte was feeling and her nerves before her
first date. As well as this, we thought fast cutting would give us a more professional
result when charlotte and her mother are having the conversation in the car, to
make it seem more realistic, and is originally used for conversations between
people, to change the point of view.

3. Colour Correction
 Colour grading is the process of altering and enhancing the color of a
motion picture, video image, or still image either electronically, photo
chemically or digitally.
 We decided to use Colour grading/ Colour correction within our short film
as we felt it would give our short film more of a style and will add to the
mystery drama genre we were trying to create. We decided to put a blue
Colour tone over our video footage, this gave it a mysterious feel, and
conformed to the mystery genre conventions within our film.

4. Match On Action
 Is an editing technique for continuity editing in which one shot cuts to
another shot portraying the action of the subject in the first shot.
 We decided to include match in action as an editing technique in our short
film, as it makes the video footage, and a film as a whole run smoother,
and gave us a more professional result. As well as this, it enabled us to
show actions within the film, saving time and not letting the audience get
bored watching the film drag on, with un useful footage included within it.

5. Jump Cuts
 A jump cut is a cut in film editing in which two sequential shots of the
same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly.
 We decided to use Jump cuts within our short film, as we wanted to show
the film and the footage going forward in time, without skipping the
storyline so much, that the audience don’t know what to do. As well as
this, it stops the audience getting bored, and reduces the length of our
storyline.
