Transitions
Rhythmic editing:
In
this editing each shots goes on for the same amount of time. Rhythmic editing
is mostly used in music videos. The length of each scene depends on how fast or
slow the song is for example if a song has a really fast pace than the scenes
will most likely to be short and switch quickly to the next scenes. The effects of Rhythmic editing is that it makes the video and the music one which makes it even exciting to watch. This way they audience will fell both astounded and entertaining to listen and watch the video, depending on the so
Wipe:
Wipe is when a shot is substituted by another shot. This technique used to be popular in the olden days. However, now days people don’t really use Wipe anymore as it doesn't look professional when it transits from one shot to another.
Montage:
This is when you put together pictures with juxtaposition or superimposition that all are related to different theme than each other. Montage is also used in the olden days but is also used in today's days to put together pictures. It is normally to show the past of ones life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNYBXKt6_dw
Eye Line Match:
This technique has more than two shots where the character will be looking at the object/person and the next shot is shown from the other person's or the object's perspective as they are facing the first character. This is mostly used in the film/drama industry when one of the character is not presence, this is when they can use Eye line Match to have a conversation with another character without them having to be there.This shot is used to see the characters facial expression from the other character's point of view.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUR3jCeGCm4
Cross Cutting:
Cross Cutting is when two different shots are being shows while its happening at the same time. In this example you can see that two things are edited together to show how they are happening at the same time. This is mostly used in action parts to make the audience feel more anxious and stopping them from getting bored as they keep on watching it.
Graphic Matching:
Graphic matching is used to smoothly transfer from one shot to another which links to the subject altogether. In this example you can see a man riding on a horse, which smoothly changes into another character who is also riding a horse with similar background.
A Long Take:
This is when there are no cuts in the scene or two or more scene are edited together. A Long Shots are continuous. As you can see in my example Tarkovsky has used three long shots, the best shot is the third one which was around 1 minute and 27 seconds. When doing a long take you have to show some of the setting as well to show what kind of situation the subjects are living in or going through.
Shot reverse shot:
This is when a character is look off screen, to the second character and the next shot is when the 'off screen' character is looking back at the previous character.This shot is used a lot in Hollywood movies or dramas when the two character is having a conversation. It also shows the facial expression of the characters.
Continuity Editing:
This editing style is the most dominating style used to edit movies and dramas. This makes the scenes run smoothly even with shots from two different scene.
