Within this post I will be showing you the different types of editing skills which appear in all aspects of film making. Examples of these are; Straight Cuts, Split Edits, and Match-On-Action. I will be adding multi-media examples for people who want to see for themselves what these things are and get more of an understanding on how they work.
Split Edit-
This Video below, will demonstrate to you and show you what 'Split Edit'
editing is and is the most effective way to move the audience from one
scene to the next.
Straight Cut-
This next video below will demonstrate how a straight cut works, and is in fact an instant cut between two shots and this can be used to move within a scene or between scenes. There will be one scene and then it will cut to a completely different scene without warning.
Match-On-Action-
This is where the editor
cuts from one shot to another view that matches the shot's action. For
example, someone walking through a door. The shot needs to match from
all different angles whether it is from the front or from the back. The
subjects feet and hands need to be in the correct place and in the same
place. By not doing this it could lead to a continuity error which i
will talk about later on in my blog.
For my next post I will be looking into Basic Filming Rules for you to understand.
