• Cutting

• Insert

• Video transitions

• Titles

The simplest way to talk about editing is to use the term cut, this is a straight edit where two ends of film are simply put together.

The most common type of edit, we see someone perform an action, and in the subsequent shot the results of this action.

The villain turns on the sprinklers

The first sprinkler starts

The second sprinkler is in full flow

We see the chaos caused by the sprinklers

180 degree rule

The 180° rule is a basic film editing guideline

It states that two characters (or other elements) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other.

If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line.

The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.

The Cutaway

In film, a cutaway is the interruption of a continuously-filmed action by inserting a view of something else.

It is usually followed by a cutback to the first shot, but not alwaysWatch out for cutaways, to show parallel action, in a different location. Ask why it is there

The Insert

In film, an insert is a shot of part of a scene as filmed from a different angle and/or focal length from the master shot.

Inserts cover action already covered in the master shot, but emphasize a different aspect of that action due to the different framing.

Often they are of detail in the action

Cutting on Action(ACTION MATCH)

Cutting on action or matching on action refers to a film editing technique where the editor cuts from one shot to another

This "matches" the first shot's action and energy.

Although the two shots may have actually been shot hours apart from each other.

Cutting on action gives the impression of continuous time when watching the edited film.

By having a subject begin an action in one shot and carry it through to completion in the next, the editor creates a visual bridge which distracts the viewer from noticing the cut or noticing any slight continuity error between the two shots.
