Editing Techniques

Cutaway/Cross Cut-used to establish action in two different scenes,happening at the same time.The camera will cut from one piece of action to another. Suspense may be added by cross-cutting. It is built through the expectations that it creates and in the hopes that it will be explained with time. Cross-cutting also forms parallels; it illustrates a narrative action that happens in several places at approximately the same time.


Jump Cut-contrast is used for strong emotional effect, and frequently at the climax of a film. The rhythm of, or length of time between, cross-cuts can also set the rhythm of a scene. 


Transition-The process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another. To move from scene /setting to another.


Continuity Editing- a method of editingin which they have to smooth over discontinuity and emphasis smooth transition of time and space to show a logical sequence.
