Editing can powerfully affect and change the mood and meaning of a
film

 Joins (Fade-out, Fade-in, Dissolve, Wipe)

 The Cut (Varied effect by length of time between cut)

 Graphic Relations between shot A and Shot B (Graphic match,

graphic mismatch)

 Rhythmic Relations between shot A and B (Accent, beat, Tempo)

 Spatial Relations between Shot A and B (Spatial Continuity or

discontinuity)

 Temporal Relations between shot A and B (Continuous, reversed,

flashback, flash-forward, elliptical – Empty Frame, cutaways

 Expansive Editing Moments of time or events can be extended

or repeated to accentuate an image or of time passed.

 Repetition To repeat an action more than once to accentuate a

moment.

 Continuity Editing Dominant film editing style allows stories to

be told clearly and coherently.

 The 180 Degree System In the continuity style the space of

a scene is constructed along what is called the axis of action/center
line/180 line. The cameras cannot move beyond this 180 degree
semicircle. The 180 degree system ensures that relative positions in
the frame remain consistent including consistent eye line matches

 Crosscutting Unrestricted knowledge of causal, temporal, or

spatial information by alternating shots from one line of action in one
place with shots of other events in other places.
 Montage Many cuts are used temporally to suggest time passing
