Editing is a term used to describe the process of looking at all the footage which has been shot during the making of a film and placing it into a desired order and actually joining it all together to make one continuous film. There are various methods of doing this such as;
Straight cut The most common of all editing cuts. This type of cut creates a sudden change from one shot to another, dramatically changing the scene.
A Fade Out – where the screen fades to black
A Dissolve – where one image is slowly brought in beneath another one
A Wipe Cut – where one part of the screen moves to wipe across the other
A Jump Cut – where the audience’s attention is brought into focus on something very suddenly.
A Match Cut - it cuts from one scene to another; but by cross cutting between two actions in two different locations that are happening simultaneously, it enables the storyline to flow and link continuously
All editing is done on software that is specialised to do this. The type of software that we shall be using is called Adobe Premiere Pro. Below is a picture of what the software looks like once opened.
