- creates meaning
- refers to how shots are put together to create a media text
2 types - continuity and non-continuity
Continuity editing is about keeping a linear narrative and still makes sense.
Non-continuity editing (eg Momento) is not in a straight foreword order; non-linear narrative
- Guides you through the story line.
- Shows time by emphasising order, duration and frequency
*group power points*
Editing: the passage of time
Slow mo action is played slower than it is filmed.
Elipsis - show time changing i.e minutes to hours etc
montage: a lot of scenes happening at once e.g Ashes to ashes
expansion of time: making the scene last longer than it is e.g character wakes up and clock says 12:05, *10 minutes passes* clock says 12:06
Cutting
action match: cuts from one shot to another with same action
shot reverse shot - conversation. used in soap operas, over the shoulder shots.
eyeline match - shows a character looking off screen then cuts to show what they were looking at.
graphic match - 2 objects link to each other i.e psycho - eye to plughole
Jump cuts: an abrupt transition from 1 scene to another i.e 1 coffee cup to 2
Parallel editing: goes from 1 scene in one place to another scene to another place - same time
e.g inception
Cross cutting: scenes ordered to go forwards or backwards in time
Insert: put a video clip over existing footage to make it more interesting
Transitions
Dissolve: a gradual transition from one image to another - overlapping transition
Cross fade: 1 fades out, other fades in
Fade in: shot starts dark and gradually lightens
Fade out: starts at full exposure and fades out
Wipe: shot replaced by moving to the side
