Editing styles/techniques
Editing:
Cutting on action:
Cutting on action is when it cuts from one shot to another with the character/subject still in motion.
Cut away:
A cut away editing technique is when a small shot that is not always necessary ,however then is cut into a scene showing a related action. An example for this could be when a couple is having an argument , therefore being the main scene, but the editor may choose to include a cutaway shot of their children crying before cutting back to the couple arguing.
Cross-cutting:
Cross-cutting is often used in films to establish continuity.Cross-cutting is where the camera with cut away from one action, to then another action. Therefore because the shots occur one after another, it is used to suggest simultaneity of action.
Jump-cuts:
A jump cut is when a cut moves to a similar cut of the same scene, however will be missing something/a piece of action. An example of this could be when a character in on one side of the room, and then is on the other , however we do not see the character walking.
Match on action:
Match on action is where a cut splices two different views of the same action together at the same moment in the movement, therefore making it seem uninterrupted.
Fade in/face out:
A fade cut is a type of moving image , where the image gradually fades and disappears , leaving a white or black screen. When fading to black it often gives of he connotations that time has passed or a situation has ended. Therefore by fading to white it often suggests a dream of some sort/ a dream sequence.
Dissolve:
Dissolve is when the first shot on the scene and then the second shot starts appearing on top of it , more and more until you can only see the second shot. This editing techniques is often used to link two scenes or two people together.
Wipe cut:
A wipe cut is a technique that involves one image wiping another off the screen. Therefore this suggests that whatever scene/character pushes the other one off the screen , is more important or powerful.
Audio shot:
This is when the sound from one shot is carried along to another shot.
J-cut:
A j-cut is when the audio starts before the next shot , therefore this meaning you hear the sound before you see it. For example it could be on one shot with music playing then the next shot could of a radio playing the same music.

Camera angles:
- Establishing shot- see the surrounding
- Close up- by doing this you can see the characters facial expression. You can especially see their eye- therefore the window to the soul
- Over the shoulder shot
- Zoom shot
- Medium close up
- Fade focus- to represent him opening his eyes
Sound:
- Dramatic music-adds affect

Preliminary task review
Review:
My group consists of the following people, Emily Redman, Martha Keats and myself of course. For our task we decided to film a short film.Throughout the film we used many filming techniques such as match on action, this occurs when he is entering and walking through the gate.We also used a over the shoulder shot whilst he walked towards the door. Furthermore, we used the 180 degree rule and shot reverse shot whilst the characters were having a conversation.
Throughout the whole process we had many high and low points. Personally i enjoyed the filming , as it was enjoyable to.
Overall from the task we have learned that editing is very time consuming, and that it is better to work with more footage than you need.
