Editing.

Objective:- learn editing terms
                - analyse clip for editing techniques

Continuity editing- invisible editing makes action flow smoothly

*Eye line match- shot A: looking and shot B: what there looking at
*180 rule (camera cannot move to the other side of the line because if it does it will confuse the audience and they wouldn't know where the characters are looking.)
*Crosscutting- cutting from scene to scene to suggest simultaneous narratives (shows that two scenes are happning at once but in two diffrent locaitions.)
*Action match- an action starts in one shot and is completed in the next (doing this makes the shot smoother, for example a boy kicking the ball from far and then the shot moving close to him as he kicks the ball)
*Graphic match- two shots chosen for graphic similarity (Rolo and watch, both have the same shape and look alike)
*Shot- reverse shot- used during conversations (one person talking and the camera on them, then the other talking n camera moves to them, this happens continuously while each person talks.)

- transitions- cut (hard cut)
  dissolve or cross fade
  fade in or fade out
  jump cut

-montage: shots chosen for thematic relationship- often used to show development and to "crunch" time
-pace: how does the edit affect the mood through pace
-privilege (more screen time) and marginalisation (less screen time) - for the characters
