Seamless: Seamless editing is where you put two different pieces of film together to create a neat, smooth piece of film that runs into each piece of each other easily.
Splicing: Is where two different shots become one continuous shot where one shot finishes and the next one begins.
continuity: The cutting that is so seamless from one shot to the next that audiences in the theatre are not even aware that they are seeing an assembled sequence of images.
Motivated: Motivated editing is when the scene cuts to another scene or object that was not in the previous frame.
Montage: emphasises the actual process of passing time in a condensed form; consists of several shots occurring at a different point in time creating a mood/feeling.
Jump-cutting: an abrupt, inexplicable shift in the time and place of an action, which is not announced by a transition.
Parallel editing: when a film maker cuts back and forth between different spaces, usually suggesting events are happening at the same time; think two people racing to the same place at the same time.
180 rule: the rule that dictates that the camera will not cross the imaginary line in between two characters during an interaction and that the action will be filmed from one side.
Transitions:
Cut: A cut happens when one shot instantly replaces the other.
Dissolve: when Shot A is gradually replaced with Shot B .
Fade: Fade outs happen when the picture is gradually replaced by black screen or any other solid colour.
Wipe: when Shot B pushes Shot A off screen until Shot A is completely off screen.
Cutaways: shots that focus the audience's attention on precise details.
POV shot: POV shot is a camera angle that shows the audience what the character is seeing as this is being shown by representation of the camera.
Shot-reverse-shot: a standard shot pattern that director's use to film conversations between two characters; a character speaking and then the other characters response.
Providing and withholding information: Is when you try and make the narrative more dramatic by giving the audience more information or taking away information.
Editing rhythm: This is what editors use to keep pace of the film up, to match the action that is going on in the film.
Crosscutting: Cross-cutting refers to a technique of film edit-ing in which consecutive shots alternate between
two or more actions.
Cutting to soundtrack: Editing to soundtrack is when the pace of the cuts are motivated by how fast the song is.
