In-Camera editing is a stripped-down method for shooting a finished video. it's editing without any cables, computers or other technical facilities. In-Camera editing isn't when you finish shooting and you can put all the pieces together, it requires you to edit while you shoot. In-Camera editing isn't true editing, instead it refers to the process of shooting your program sequentially, each scene shot in order and at the length that it will appear in the finished program which means you have a complete program as soon as you are done taping. In-Camera editing leaves very little margin for error, every shot must be right or the whole show is a bust. This means you have to do a lot more pre-production planning before shooting.
Following the Action:
Following the action is used in editing when there is a scene with a lot of movement or a big action scene. Basically the camera follows the action, it stays on that scene and moves around the main characters in the scene and shows different parts of the scene so we can see more action.
A dolly/tracking shot is when a cart is on a track and its then moved along it to record a shot. The camera is mounted on the cart to film all the footage and most dollies also have the ability to move vertically to capture footage that maybe high up or in some cases can be fitted with cranes so footage at a higher level can be captured easily and successfully.
A Dolly Zoom is a technique that zooms in and out and is an unnatural effect and creates something that your eyes wouldn't see. This effect was made famous by Alfred Hitchcock in the film Vertigo and was later used by Steven Spielberg in Jaws.
A pan is used to capture shots horizontally, the camera is moved left or right. A pedestal is when the camera is moved vertical and captures anything that is high and low. Tilting is when the camera is pointed up or down but in a stationary position.
Multiple points of view is where something is happening in a scene involving multiple characters. We will see what is happening with one character and then the camera will cut to another character followed by another character if there is another and so on. It shows a scene from the point of view of all the characters involved.
Shot Variation:
This basically mean using a variety of different shots when filming which includes:
Long shot: Gives a full picture of the subject, showing fully what it is.
Medium shot: Doesn't show as much but isolates the subject from the background, it is often used to focus on one part of something.
Close up: A shot that zooms right in on the subject, the subject fills the screen bringing the audinece closer to it.
Extreme long shot: Just a variation of the long shot which films the subject from even further away.
Manipulation of Diegetic Time and Space:
Manipulation of Diegetic Time and Space is when editing is used to make an object, person or place look like it is changing over time. It should make the audience easily recognise that something is changing.
