Editing is the process of adding, removing or overall changing of a scene, or scenes in a movie.
Speed of editing:
Speed of editing is a how long a scene will last, and is dependent on the mood the film is trying to build. For example, an action film will have multiple quick cuts, emphasizing action and speed, or a drama, where the camera is trying to build a constant atmosphere. Very rarely there is no editing at all, such as the 2002 film, Russian ark.
Style of editing:
The style of editing is how the shots are edited together. There are multiple ways in which shots can be linked together, or transitioned.
Straight cut: The most common kind of cut, it is an instantaneous change between shots, keeping the action going., and the audience engaged.
Fades: This is when the screen fades to black or white, often shown for drama effect.
Graphic match: This is when a transition occurs between 2 similarly looking objects.
Dissolves:When one shot fades out as another shot fades in, with both becoming visible at once, often used to show a passing of time.
Wipes: Wipes are when a shot is pushed off the screen by another shot, sometimes used to show simultaneous events.
Jump cut: When something is suddenly brought to the audiences attention, while looking like some footage has been removed.
