Editing styles

Editing styles refer to how the scenes are put together. These are done through things called transitions, this meaning the movement from one shot to another. There are many types of transitions and some are listed below:

•   Dissolve- this is when one shot fades out and another fades in. In the middle of the dissolve, when the shot is fading out and the other just beginning to come in you can sometimes see a relationship between the two shots. This is done intentionally.
• Straight cut- This is the most commonly used style of editing. This is the simple move between shots that isn't normally seen but helps keep the scene look real and relatable.
• Fades- this is when the shot fades to either black or white. They are typically used at the end of a scene or film.
• Wipe- this is when one shot is pushed out the scene by another shot. This normally occurs to signal a similar situation that is happening elsewhere.
• Jump cut- This is when the camera jumps from one shot to another whilst the scene is still occurring.
