 Types of Editing 

WHAT IS EDITING?

Editing is the process of selecting and preparing written, visual, audible and film media used to convey information. The editing process can involve correction, condensation, organization, and many other modifications performed with an intention of producing a correct, consistent, accurate and complete work.


TYPES OF EDITING 

180 Degree rule 

The angle between two consecutive shots should not exceed 180 degrees. in order to maintain relationships between two people and objects. It's also very important not to cross the 180 degrees, otherwise it may confuse the viewer.

Eye line match

We see a character looking at something off screen and then we cut to a shot of what they are looking at. The eyeline match begins with a character looking at something off-screen, followed by a cut to the object or person at which he is looking. For example, a man is looking off-screen to his left, and then the film cuts to a television that he is watching.

Match- on- action

We see a character start an action one shot and then see them continue it in the next shot.

Graphic Match

 

Graphic match is a cut in film editing between either two different objects, two different spaces, or two different compositions in which objects in the two shots graphically match, often helping to establish a strong continuity of action. 

Dissolve Transition

1. In the post-production process of film editing and video editing, a dissolve is a gradual transition from one image to another. The terms fade-out and fade-in are used to describe a transition to and from a blank image.
