editing is a term which is used to describe the process of looking at all the footage which has been shot during the making of the film placing it in desired order and actually joining it together. when we are looking at editing in a film, there are two areas to concentrate on:
-speed of editing, how long does each shot last?
-style of editing, how each shot is joined to the next?
the speed of the editing will help determine the mood of what is taking place on screen. if the audience is to feel anxiety and suspense the editing will be quick, so the scenes will be changing frequently. however if there is a relaxed scene, the scenes will last longer and change less frequently.
There are many types of editing styles used whilst producing a film, these are:
-straight cut
-fade out, where the screen fades to black
-dissolve, where one image is slowly brought in beneath another one
-wipe cut, where one part of the screen moves across the other
-jump cut, where the audience's attention is brought into focus on something very suddenly.
