Basic Editing

So we have talked about the shot movements when creating a piece of Media (e.g. a film) and we have talked about the workflow that you can use ... so now on to the editing, editing is a vital part of creating a film and you need to get it spot on otherwise people will easily find the mistakes. Editing can be the hardest part when creating a piece of media but I will explain all the basic information you need.


Straight Edit - A very quick transition from one shot to another shot (one shot ends and the other starts)









Split Edit - A transition from one shot to another in film or video, where the picture changes but the sound follows a few seconds later.

Match On Action - Where the action in the first shot, is continued in the following shot. You normally see a match on action when someone is walking through a door.
