Editing is the process of looking at all the footage shot during the making of a film, tv programme and placing it in the desired order and joining it together.
Speed of editing: how long does it last?
Style of editing: how each shot is joined to the next?
In a film each scene may last a matter of seconds, or it could continue for minutes but the length of each sequence establishes the pace of the film moving the action along.
The speed of editing will help to determine the mood of what is taking place on screen.
Speed of editing:
If the audience is to feel anxiety and suspense the editing will be quick, the scenes/shots change frequently. If a relaxed mood is desired, the scenes last longer and change less frequently. Scenes at the beginning of a film, as it begins to tell its story, must be long enough for us to be able to understand where we are and what is going on. It is also slow to introduce the main characters. As the film progresses scenes may become shorter as the editing cuts between telling two or more story lines at the same time.
Straight cut:
-Most common and invisible form of transition.
-One shot more instantaneously to the next without attracting the audiences' attention.
-Straight cuts help retain reality, they do not break the viewers suspension of disbelief.
