Exploring different editting techniques!!

  • Cut: This is the most basic edit. One shot ends and another starts right away, with no transition. 

  • Cross-cutting: Switching between two scenes that are happening at the same time to build tension or show action that is happening at the same time.

  • Match cut: Moving between two shots that have similar shapes, movements, or actions to keep the picture going.

  • Jump cut: A sudden cut in the same scene that makes it seem like time has jumped ahead. This is often used to make people feel confused or rushed.

  • Montage: a series of short clips put together to make time go by faster or quickly get across a mood or idea. Montage: a series of short clips put together to make time go by faster or quickly get across a mood or idea.

  • Fade/Dissolve: One shot slowly fades out while another fades in. This usually means that time has passed or the location has changed.
